£500 Modified Road Trip Challenge: Part 3

[@JuliusBriggs]

This series had major old top gear vibes I think I speak for everyone here when saying thanks for making this kind of content

[@r0shav]

bruh video is 30 mins long and you comment on the 4th minute after uploading. You havent even watched it...

[@minihjalte]

@@r0shav almost like he is commenting on the series 🤌

[@JuliusBriggs]

@@r0shav well yeah mate but the comment is not about this video but the ENTIRE SERIES of which I’ve watched enough to make a decent judgement call of what this video will be as well I find it very unlikely that Part 3 is gonna be so shite that it changes my opinion of the whole series Also I came early by chance so I’ll comment early Always one weirdo who has to be negative the internet is different gravy EDIT: finished watching part 3; didn't change my opinion on how great this series was

[@skylineXpert]

Now all they need Is the bacterial test of their cars like TG had on the e30 convertibles

[@JuliusBriggs]

@@skylineXpert Don’t know why but I have a feeling that for some unknown reason there might be a slight chance to find traces of air fresheners in that Golf

[@jonathansmith4737]

Ethan is MVP yet again in this episode. "I'm the Milk Man"

[@AGUYWITHOUTAPAIROFSOCKS]

ethan is goals

[@Omisake]

You guys should make a sticker we can buy that says SC500 with a little outline of the route of it. Kinda like the Nurburgring one you can buy. It’d be a cool little decal. Maybe I’m the only one who’d be interested in it though idk lol

[@sammythewhammy69]

I'd get that!

[@BestSuppressed]

I'd get it!

[@jamesthesilver]

Great idea

[@feron450]

I’d buy one and I live on the us and probably won’t ever actually get a chance to drive the SC500

[@ShanleH]

I would definitely buy that... When I get a car again 😂

[@ReeceSpencer]

If they get these to the Nurburgring I will lose my mind, that'd be one hell of a finale and make this a fantastic trilogy.

[@AqEppo]

Yesss!

[@robertjusic9705]

500 pounds for racing mods? the saxo gets less because it already has new tires

[@andrewdavies4]

Spoiler alert. That didn't happen.

[@LeaveNoTrashBehind]

I really dig Ethans sleeping setup in his Focus. Great series gentlemen!

[@robertwood5585]

I had a focus that age and Sold it for a van to convert into a camper, I have egg on my face now

[@LeaveNoTrashBehind]

@@robertwood5585 Nice man, I have a 04 Nissan Xterra that I converted into a camper. I've been thinking about getting a van though, the 4x4 is great in the X. But I need something with more room.

[@AlexTenThousand]

Tonight: Jack points at a boat Alex learns electronics And Ethan backs into a trailer

[@destructionnl8165]

More of this would be great. Don't care if it'll be copying the good old TopGear, keep these cheap car challenges coming!

[@GTFORDMAN]

TopGear has always simply destroyed the cars for the sake of destroying something, these guys at least keep the damage done to a repairable level

[@v811gfg]

Totally agree it is a cheap copy of of Top Gear but if something's good it's good.

[@ng2261]

@@GTFORDMAN have you actually seen any Top Gear or Grand Tour episodes or just youtube clips?

[@alistairwall5470]

These guys are far better at this kind of content than Hammond/Clarkson/May ever were

[@destructionnl8165]

@@alistairwall5470 Not sure about that, but i quite like video's like these.

[@Kayyban]

This is the first series after Top Gear that doesn't include Clarkson, May and Hammond and yet is so enjoyable to watch. Genuinely laughed throughout. Love the chemistry between you three. More of this please!

[@crazycjk]

Absolutely fantastic 3-parter. Massive appreciation for the effort that goes into something like this! More, more! Edit: NURBURGRING!!

[@trainman86trainstramsandmore]

Nürburgring absolutely f**ked phil. I don't think hes gonna go there ever again

[@moe_1886]

Now that's £500 well spent Lads! In celebration, I think you all should do additional upgrades to the value of £500 and complete 104 laps of the Nürburgring!! Absolute loved this and the NC500 series Guys! Hope there's more on the cards. Thanks Ethan, Alex, Jack and the crew!

[@ThatMozes]

Now I am wondering, exactly how many air fresheners are inside the VW at the end of the trip?

[@sparky4878]

All the nasty air fresheners in the world.

[@doctorninetytwo3300]

Alex could make a video out of hunting and counting them and we'd likely all watch it

[@bubs45]

at least 6 by my count

[@Tbiddz1]

Well done lads. 👏 We need this type of entertainment. You boys deliver. Big Thanks

[@SANinja72]

As someone who lives in Cornwall, it's great to see some representation. Good job guys.

[@AnonymousCaveman]

I second this! Same for Devon too.

[@apexinstinct]

100%

[@duncanmurdison4406]

dumping the fishing gear in the sea runied the whole episode for me, poor form

[@roberttinsley7072]

Can't wait to see the east coast 500 and the Welsh coast 500 out of these 3 dream machines 🙌

[@declanthomas7159]

I'm absolutely planning a Yorkshire 500 if it doesn't exist already

[@user-fs4fd3gv3r]

And a Midlands 500

3 mates. Cheap cars. Banter. Sabotage and fucking with each other’s cars. This is peak content. Most top gear level video I’ve seen and remember top gear was no.1 thing on TV. Keep at it.

[@Aleks_Mechanics]

notification squad, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥

[@A_Man_Who_Says_Hello8538]

You can't make me.

[@thecrazything95]

What this series has shown me is that if I had a friend like Alex, he would not have made it halfway through the trip.

[@PneumatinisPlaktukas15]

Yeah I'm surprised they didn't like slash his tyres or something lol

[@1UPWonders]

Car Throttle is the best! Love this series so much!

[@harrye97]

You need to come to Wales in the £500 cars, some beautiful roads to drive on especially up North! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@rcocm]

Those cars ended up absolutely battered after those 1000+ miles... looked as knackered as you boys at the end of this one 🤣 What a great series... keep the videos coming lads, top notch 👌

[@Nomad_4304]

Love the series, love the cars, love the places.. Thank you so much for the content guys!

[@supernifty]

I love how at the end all the damage, still not as bad as what Ethan did to his hood with those lights.

[@charliedavid2012]

'Cable ties and a bloody good thrashing, thats a Saturday night right there!' phenomenal🤣🤣🤣

[@jordonsmith1371]

This series was genuinely top class lads, keep it up.

[@dearbikeswportugal2853]

Yes guys,well done! I just re (dis)covered how much I like my old nuggets again... Gonna get the latest one back from the latest mechanic tomorrow and fix it myself as usual! Thanks for returning me the force!

[@Djcraig90]

I lived in Devon for 16 years got to thrash around dartmoor loads!! So many lovely twisty back roads!! Amazing to drive through! One of the most haunted roads in britain runs right through the middle

[@HM...333]

Amazing content! Just an idea, I would love to see you 3 buy a bus and take it on a road trip

[@ajarms86]

I think it's safe to say we have found the 'new top gear' not just that it's a similar format, you guys invoke the sense of banter and craic from the original series - keep making this lads, great show altogether!

[@Jahmed5635]

Probably one of the best series you’ve done, you guys always seem to top each series dam🔥

[@mattball8995]

Another excellent challenge. Credit also to the crew and camera guys, support vehicles and drone operator. Excellent editing and just some slick work overall. Every time you do these it only gets better. Looking forward to the next one.

[@anonymousindividual.]

This series is better than the new Top Gear for sure

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Please don’t stop making these films together - they are pure comedy gold!

[@veemacks7255]

Subtracting the mileage of the St. Ives diversion, you've basically done the SC 430. Are you going to rename it to that? Nickname it the ugly AF Lexus.

[@magnusshawn4698]

This was such a good series. And this is no joke. Because of the NC series that you did first, my family I are coming from near Boston, and doing most of your same route and points of interest this coming September. Thank you for the video. It was literally, my travel planning guide. Hit me up if you’re planning on being in Northern Scotland in mid-September, love to buy you guys a pint.

[@ab95]

loved this series boys, hopefully more to come

[@goracks69]

Ethan, I understand your pain. Trying to back up a trailer the first time is completely discombobulating. The first time I backed up a trailer, I spent half an hour in the rain trying to back up a rented trailer while also being yelled at. Now it’s easy. But it takes a few hours of messing around with before you naturally get the hang of it. Also, aren’t you impressed with my use of the word, “discombobulating”? Lastly, cheers from Canada!

[@brownianmotion2373]

I'm literally a 2 minute drive from dartmoor, so great in my mx-5 🥰

[@nigelparish2631]

Sensational. Literally the best car show anywhere A reminder of top gear in its heyday. Genuinely up there with their best road trips and challenges. Great banter, incredible editing and fabulous camerawork. KZbin was made for this.

[@paulboyle6857]

Love these "banger" road trips.Years ago a guy named James Rupport wrote a book called Bangernomics which was all about how to buy & run a car for peanuts.It just goes to prove that one can have just as much enjoyment as with something costing fortunes.Cornwall looked spectacular & the weather!!! Where does one buy really cheap cars these days:everything more than about 15 years old seems to have become a "classic"! Well done guys,you must now do a round Wales trip.

[@pacey2240]

I hope you got that fishing reel back out of the sea

[@ethyhayes]

Really good content. Appreciate that this sort of production doesn't come cheap and wait lots of time/effort. But the quality and content speaks for itself. Thanks for it

[@tomwilliams9489]

Ethan should've got a speeding ticket with Alex's number plate on his trailer

[@John_3_16]

I don't think the Focus could go fast enough to break the speed limit especially with the trailer on

[@Lburt07]

In the first video he said it was a non intentional mod as it fell off on the motorway

[@Yanicks_Garage]

@@Lburt07 Didnt hear that 👍

[@snbala]

This has been absolutely brilliant, very old top gear vibes going on. The trip looked epic too and I was rooting for the focus, as I have one myself. Hopefully there is more videos to come, as these cars have plenty of life in them and should be showcased in more videos.

[@WarsawMeloman]

Is it me or Alex is just un funny with the forced Jeremy Clarkson persona

[@MicEE87]

I agree. I think he’s over the top and actively trying to be as rude and destructive as possible. It to much.

[@abstrkt3950]

Alex is a creative genius

[@Fatspurios]

These were excellent. TG vibes with your own style. Thanks.

[@letpigsfly]

Alex mindless violence towards other people's cars ruins these videos. There's no need for it.

[@CarObsession]

Thank you for content like this, it's SO enjoyable and although I'm sure you have lots of fun making it, I'm sure there's plenty of work to bring this to our screens.
