It just comes through Alex has cracked the code what has made petrolheads to watch TopGear for many years. I love others on YT (many have been mentioned here) but the spice is missing from all but not here. That is the code Alex has figured out. Joke, bunter, actual facts, and fun to watch topic driven videos like this one shortly coming up. Having Misha tying up the cathartic finish is just a genius move. I am not at all surprised why this channel is growing fast. Alex has managed to capture why many of us missing the TopGear but thought nothing what BBC came up over the years was even remotely similar. We had to deal with the reality TG will not be coming back. Even GrandTour (Amazon) is not close just a shadow of the good old days. The atmosphere of the three was "unrepeatable" by a team of producers at the BBC. This is where Alex came in and did (and constantly do) repeat the recipe like a master chef. I wish this channel to grow and all three vital components Rory, Taylor and Alex to keep up this great show.

It's so difficult to replicate the magic of TG because it was about 3 friends having a banter. TV execs choose 3 ppl and try and script banter, here 3 friends are having fun with cars, plus, its even more natural as its not scripted (like TG was, although well done, you could sometimes tell). I think the focus on cheap cars further adds to relatability - these are cars sourced in advance, they just have some cash and a trailer (and dont always need that), so many of us could do the same, but as Alex points out, he's making the automotive mistakes so we don't have to.
@Lucky32Luke11 ай бұрын
@@imnotamechanic3491 I do agree it is more relatable and less scripted but also argue execs chose the 3. JC has been vital in choosing I heard. I would love to think TG has made it big because JC had the secret sauce how to make it so fruitful in terms of revenue. Amazon has made a good profit realizing the potential in JC in farming too. He is inevitably knows how to draw an ugly picture and still sell it for good money. I personally don't agree with most of his views but see his value in the media machine. Alex in my view has stripped off everything questionable or exposed to political criticism and kept the vital parts of making a show make us laugh. Would you agree on the point if it was only Alex alone you would not pay as much attention compared to every other UK YT car channels in existence? Having three guys (well selected) seems like the recipe? If your answer is you won't, why is car throttle not having the same uplift? I think it is the cohesion and Alex has now his own initiative, so he can pull.

A really nice mod you can do to the 1.9 is to find the rear bumper, quarter panels and side skirts from an early 2.8 and convert it to widebody spec. You can then fit the Z3m wheels on it (you can't put these on the 6cyl cars as the hubs are wider and the wheels sit too proud, but you can do it to a 1.9). Did this to mine years back and it looked great. Of course the Z3m wheels are about £1k if u can find a set ... but looks like u have plenty of budget spare!!!
