07:43 - Because F I N A L L Y . . Porsche REALISED Front engined FRONT WHEEL DRIVE IS BEST !!! 👌😉🤣🤣🤣🤣 😎🇬🇧

[@mgcharoudin]

This is the most frustrating moment of 2023 ngl. Track getting shut right in front of us as I was about to lap Phil was right in the Pheels blue balls moment.

[@AutoalexCars]

WE WILL BE BACK FASTER, LIGHTER AND STRONGER 😍

[@bedroxzbass4706]

It's absolutely awesome that you wanted to drive Phil that much though

[@bluedogtransportwa]

unblue my mans balls

[@worstofficerdennis]

Spoiler alert! 😂

[@driftmonkey3646]

We need that lap

[@deaks25]

Rory sounds genuinely livid at that oil spill, and to be fair, I probably would be to. Definitely would love to see Misha take Phil out.

[@invisiblekid99]

Phil is a POS, but seeing that oil spill still hurts. Covered in a farm's cow plop? Fine, but idiots loading an oil-filled engine? No fair.

[@althejazzman]

Guess who's going to clean it up?

[@tflp1950]

How are you this upset over somebody else's used beatup car?@@invisiblekid99

[@squeakers27]

Misha, phil, lap, make it happen, go as soon you can. Phil, sounded lovely. Look forward to you fixing the exhaust properly, go back to bruno, remap it with the better exhaust, fix the intake properly that will help also. Then sort the suspension setup so it's as best it can for Mishas lap

[@althejazzman]

If Alex only checked the tyre pressures after his lap, maybe wasn't before Misha jumped in and therefore Misha's lap would have been wasted anyway.

[@robchaloner7534]

17:06 to 17:15 is probably one of the single funniest things I've seen on YT for years, The timing and the slight pause as Taylor realises what's going ion is just gold 😂😂

[@hporter2765]

If Phil did get stuck at the ring, it would be like getting a ball down from a tree with another ball and getting that ball stuck too hahah

I really want to see you guys buy cars and go take us to somewhere in Europe on a road trip. I'd love that! Take us to South France, the Alps, Norway/Sweden something unique for us North Americans :) I'd love it!

I love that the Polestar just keeps assuming you're having an accident (car accident, trouser accident's are actually exacerbated by tightening seatbelts)

[@anto687]

Sad that Phil didn't get his lap with The King but a good excuse for a return visit! Love the instant regret of not draining the oil, and the immediate failure of the "Big Tesco Bag"

[@domtemp95]

Piddling with laughter from the Taylor and roll of paper onwards 😂😂

[@testnameone806]

"Let me frame this in the only way you will understand" exactly why Rory is an essential foil in this channel. That was a May dressing down Clarkson conversation.

[@LymanGreen]

I like how everyone (especially Rory) got very cranky at the end with the mini engine leaking oil. To me that’s one of the realest moments. 😏

[@incywincy2k]

Rory got the madest as he knows the £500 is coming out his dad's pocket

[@Levenstone132]

I think he had a point though.Can't believe they didn't drain the oil.

[@LymanGreen]

@@Levenstone132 oh I agree.. he definitely had a point personally I’d have also had an issue. My point is I love they left it in the edit 😆

[@rushnerd]

Mate just throws the ENTIRE box of "tissues" at him made me almost cry laughing after all that

[@tiagoventura5938]

Now I really want to see how Phil will do with Misha behind the wheel!

[@Randaalcz]

And proper tire pressure 😀

[@Pouckie90]

I really love the podcast, keep it up guys! Alex and Taylor are so entertaining and Rory does a great job keeping it structured.

[@jordanrussell388]

The podcast is the best! I wait for it so impatiently!

[@DataRew]

I absolutely want to see Misha drive Phil when it is setup properly!

[@kevinwright3141]

Well done on getting an X351 Rory! I have owned the same one for 5 years and 80k miles - Love the thing. Similar age and miles to yours! the 3.0 Diesel can do 50+ MPG, 0 to 60 in 6 seconds and can carry 5 people in comfort... interested to see a video on this soon! Exhaust manifolds, turbos, and adaptive suspension are the things to watch out for. Also if you ever replace the discs, best to get drilled discs as the front and rear brakes are susceptible to getting really, really hot! Also, do use the correct Oil (5W-30 Acea C1) and replace it frequently, as the diesel engines are prone to spitting out cranks if not maintained (Lots of people change every 5k miles).

[@John-The-Farmer]

Nearly died of laughter when the oil spilled out inside of Big Pete!

[@RickTheSpud]

I literally got back from the Ring 5 days ago and this makes me want to go straight back! Awesome trip guys! Full of all the up and downs and the laughs. Great fun. 👏

[@sardav160479]

Awesome video Alex

This is now the best time of the week .. farther and son watch of this fantastic channel !!

I’m taking the positive that we will now get some overdue Phil content with him being properly set up and Ring Ready!

[@TheRealMrCods]

So many Nürburgring videos and I'm loving it. Taylor is funny af, so glad you have him on the regular. 💖

[@gazzzzza911]

Absolutely loving the sound of Phil - I'd forgotten what a real car sounds like!!

[@LandRoverDrive]

Wooohooo, another video. 💕💕 Can’t get enough.

[@kennyg4744]

I'll be honest, I was going off you on the old channel, but now you three are the most entertaining car channel about. Taylor is a hoot. After listening to the podcasts, we all understand the constraints you were working under at the old channel. But now, it just blow the bloody doors off. Well done, great stuff.

[@louissanderson719]

Early upload! I do love the podcast! You guys bickering does make me laugh 😂 Is that Tom Lenthall’s Jag in the background during the ad?

Hi Alex, love the channel its great fun to watch, I have question regarding the ring, if you crash your car at the ring, can you sell it over their instead of bringing back .

[@Brucey865]

Taylor makes these videos for me! Clearly we want to see Phil’s laps! I’d also like to see micha get in on the budget track cars to!
