[@alecking3096]

Just a heads up. Cancelling the subscription is a bit of a nightmare. You have to call them, they don’t always pick up the phone, and they try everything to change your mind once you get through. Beer is not to bad to be fair 🍻👍

[@simonrichards2327]

Hey Alex.. love your channel, I've just seen a jem on ebay for you.. how do I send you the link as KZbin keeps deleting my comments because of the ebay link???

[@simonrichards2327]

It's a v8 rx8... would be epic for the challenge or channel..

[@vibingwithvinyl]

I think it's a bit dodgy advertising alcohol on KZbin. Lot of minors are watching. Plus alcohol doesn't mix well with cars or at least drivers. I feel similar about Hoovie's latest sponsor.

[@TheTequilaLeftenant]

Can you get it sent outside the UK?

[@tavarish]

Take care of my baby, she's all I got

[@edwowen]

Hurry up and finish that P1, you're just milking it now, how hard can it be!!! 😀😀😀

[@hughofen4988]

You did well with that, those XK8s are fantastic cars

[@andyreynolds6194]

Are you going to ship her home when you’re done?

[@SwaghettiYoloneses]

That means it's a requirement as a Jaguar owner he has to buy golf clubs and steal freebies from hotels.

[@sparky4878]

Have a 4.2 XKR of this shape. Lovely thing and quite right this one should be cherished.

[@NakedPigeon]

Love Tom, he is very entertaining. You should include him in one of your challenges

[@MyRealName]

More importantly, very knowledgeable :)

[@Ferrari_boi]

Guys, I'll provide some views on the channel situation, hpefully not too harsh Alex, Im a long term supporter, but this is boring as hell. Why would you buy another trio of unintersting shit (except supercharged BMW) and head to NB ring yet again? I dont even remember the cars you have purchased anymore. We are intersted in tuning cars, getting them ready for Curborough, fixing them, OEM plussing, dyno runs, just finishing at least smth. I don't know how can I be intetested in a car when I know its going to be gone in 1 episode. Please work on Fabrizzio and Barney M3. You sold the s2000 even without telling, we were expecting the s2000 journey. Please no more new shitboxes, work on and appreciate your fleet, those cars are dear to us. And of course we will be here to support

[@YourTransformationUK]

@@Ferrari_boior just don’t watch his videos 🤷🏼‍♂️. The beauty of KZbin. In the mean time, the rest of us will sit back and enjoy.

[@owain7629]

@@Ferrari_boispeak for yourself.. I enjoy this content

[@Emira_75]

​@@Ferrari_boiidk man that's an unpopular opinion, people enjoy these Top Gear challenge style videos with affordable, down to earth cars. I don't give a shit about Alex tinkering and tuning a POS beaten up old BMW that he occasionally drives. To what end? So he has a slightly nicer funday car in his garage? I don't care about that, and it's been done a million times.

[@iBayleyyy]

Love Tom - a chap passionate about his work and truly enjoys it! Motivation for us all

[@JohnJohnson-xs3ir]

I love seeing Tom on the Channel! More of him please!

[@piperhound]

Tom almost makes me want to go out and buy a jag..............a very entertaining guy and i'd imagine a good fella to work for aswel.

[@Carl-ud3zs]

The knowledge that tom has is outstanding, sounds so passionate about his job and seems like a good guy too. Great video alex

[@MWalsh1992]

Tom is a top bloke. It is genuinely amazing to see a master at work on his specialism.

[@BullDawg93]

was thinking about this series at work today and thought 'I would love to get home and watch a new one' DREAMS CAN COME TRUE!

[@ecarnomics]

Same here ❤

[@Smidge]

really enjoying this series! can't wait to see all the cars lined up ready to go off to the Nürburgring!

[@lauritsbarfoedbeck5421]

This really makes your day! Thanks once again alex🔥

[@Nomad_4304]

Love when Tom gets into the 'geeky' details.. not sure if itll ever be useful but love learning about it

[@shornoMALONEY]

Wahey I'm looking forward to this, some pretty obscure cars, love the Alfa hope he makes it. This Jag looks solid too actually. Tom Lenthall should do audiobooks or a podcast, you need to save up for more Jags or a V8 Defender so we can see more of him!

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

Yes ❤ Iv been waiting for this upload and get to watch it before work 🎉

[@daltonsikhosana8275]

I’ve been wait all week!!! And to savour it I’m gonna watch the first 2 for the 3rd time

[@bartukastr]

Every time Alex wears the DTM Alfa Romeo 155 t-shirt ❤ best car ever owned was my 1997 Sports pack 3 Alfa 155. Rosso red, with Gunmetal grey Speedline wheels. Was uploaded to OG Car Throttle website before it was a thing many many years ago😢😢😢😢😢

[@ZombieVisuals]

Having owned a 1.3 grand S-Type 4.2, I have had cheap jag experience and these engines are pretty damn solid

[@els236]

We do love some geeking out! props to letting Tom geek out and being serious about it :D

[@FaisalKhan-dr3zr]

good vid, but the best part for me is when they are scouting the web for a car shame we missed that this ep

[@keyser2379]

Cant wait for the next episode already haha. love the work you are putting into this channel Alex 👏🏻

[@dinoduderocket]

I bought one of these just a month ago, absolutely falling in love with it, nice to see them getting more recognition with you and drivetribe doing videos on them.

[@MaxSpeedMike]

Awesome seeing you guys working together

[@Tewty11]

You can get H&R lowering springs with 45mm drop. 29782-1 is the PN, and im pretty sure you can replace the shocks with Bilstein's b4, maybe b6, throw on some Powerflex bushes all round. and your pretty close to a decently tight suspension setup.

[@prawnk1ng]

I love the sound of a v8

[@justiceofskitzerland6429]

I love the sound of an I4, sounds like fuel economy

[@hippo319]

I love the smell of E85 in the morning

[@DrCrunkMusic]

Specially with equal length headers 🤤

[@DanLMH]

​@@justiceofskitzerland6429i4 diesel lol, even more economy

[@BoyeeSmudger]

Love the smell of a running rich a-series in my mini Max 115mph POWER

[@dozer877]

New podcast episode is brilliant mate, I missed not having Taylor but for episode two the quality of the podcast is better than most podcast that have been going for years. Can’t wait to see big brewer on it……. “Old out yer ‘and!”

[@Quessir]

I know nothing about cars and understood nothing about what he said - but Alex is right, I did like it when he geeked out!

[@chriswatson7488]

You've got a 4 cylinder, a V6, V8 and a V10... Invite Tom along to the Ring and he might be able to bring a V12 within budget (probably a crusty 5.3 XJS)

[@dss199]

Was amazing to meet you guys at Shedfest and can’t wait for next event. Would love to go to Nurburgring, but until I have recovered more I will have to keep watching you guys going. Please go more to keep me going 🤣

[@dannybennett2402]

Keep the great work up Alex a massive inspiration to me❤

[@amato5232]

Can you add Rory in on this as well, send him off to find a 5 cylinder

[@danielrios4299]

That 300zx would’ve been exciting

[@YegoYTP]

The only V10 under 5k is an Audi S6 so i reckon its gonna be one of those

[@three6trackdays75]

Another great video Alex and the team ! Freddie and Tom are such likeable people, can’t wait to see the carnage at the ring 😂

[@harrisonrawlinson5650]

Tom sounds like the type of mechanic every car guy needs with that level of specific knowledge

[@redsidebiker]

That Jaag is a thing of beauty in that blue. However, I'd have Alfred, just the driver in me (oh, and the chrome Busso intakes are motoring porn!).

[@sofiecornelissen3194]

I love Tom's geeking over Tina. 😂

[@kevinbartholomew6363]

Looking forward for the trip and wondering how many times Alex brakes down 😂

[@Nunyabusiness87]

This is gonna be an epic series… Y’all need to do a top gear / car trek style with the three of you

[@tylerhowardcars]

I'm watching the video from Queensland Australia

[@Jib06]

My dad has a 2003 Jaguar XKR it’s such a beast, It’s got a back-box delete too it sounds amazing

[@cordite7207]

The Alfa needs to let the oil out or it will burn it all, makes you keep it topped up with fresh! Handy feature

[@ste_94]

This challenge sounds epic, I think car throttle should come in with a 3 cylinder and Mat Armstrong with a 5 cylinder

[@carlosteixeira3966]

We love it when Tom geeks out !

[@MySquareWheel]

More geeky please, it's great to hear someone who KNOWS what they are looking at.. that, is a tidy motor, well done chaps

[@sgtpepperboi6851]

That outro shows just how much Alex loves his subscribers.

[@TheJoeT81]

Thank god it’s not bloody Car Vertical AGAIN! 😂

[@trusthamilton6955]

Driving through Woodley there Alex? Next time, pop in for a cuppa!

[@Superzesh101]

Shedfest was awesome!

[@pk-dn5sj]

The more REAL MECHANICS KNOWLEDGE is included in here the better for us!! I would absolutely love XK 5.0 for a lazy Sunday drives...what a fantastic machines with the best soundtrack under £10k for sure ❤

[@tomconey2129]

Alex, love your work. Put the full podcast on the V2 channel. I watch the collecting cars podcast in full every week on youtube and would do the same with yours.

[@FilmingAustralia1623]

Ive really enjoyed watching these last few videos

[@elmotheewokking]

Tina was parked next to me at Shedfest, after overtaking me on the Motorway, sounded mental. Great buy.

[@dodgyt25]

Loving the channel chaps keep up the good work absolutely smashing it

[@raff_spriggles_tfn5910]

I've been mulling over buying one of these for the last 18 months . However, that Alfa is a thing of beauty.

[@Lewuaptedama]

My god that alfa is so nice, so so nice

[@witnesspropro]

Alex is right. We do like the geeky stuff.

[@baldeylocks977]

no danger you r sponsor was Beer52, I literally just lworked my last day with them yesterday after two years with them. So weird and mad I didn;t know about this as I would have jumped at the chance to meet you!

[@kiesh.]

Thoroughly enjoying this series chaps, some interesting choices on the cars so far, especially liking the prospect of the Alfa, particularly if it ends up looking touring car spec!

[@salvador4911]

Top 3 automotive channels at the moment!!

[@Mojoe44]

As soon as you announced this challenge I thought this would be my choice for the v8, I bloody love a Jag

[@DieEneVent]

A contest between garages: Taylor VS Tom Alex comes up with "blind" challenges and let's see who wins! And to be fair to Tom, Taylor should be constricted to 2 brand of cars as well.

[@anthonyhawkins9239]

I am so loving this series 😂👍, Cannot wait to see you all at the Nurburgring 🎉😂👍

[@paulmcmillan5941]

Great sight unseen buy! I can't wait to see Tavaresh look on it for the first time.

[@maxhazeleger2854]

WoW the production is and editing is awesome. Hats off to you Alex!

[@cozifpv2069]

Let's get this straight, there are no 'best segments' of the podcast! You need to listen to the whole thing because it is all brilliant. 👌

[@simonleach6632]

'i want that jag ride, we're going to be taking these turns at a moderate speed, I'm not going for lap records here' He does know that they're doing a lap with Misha right? Moderate speed is not an option when he's driving! 😂

[@OldSkoolCarpMan]

Let's see your predictions for Mark McCann's V10 .........I reckon it'll be either a VW Touareg or Phaeton with the V10 TDi

[@_Dimon_]

Maybe Audi S6 C6 or S8 D3? Other than that, i don't even know if there are any other cheap cars with a v10.

[@your-mom_was_here]

E60 M5

Tom is a proper legend. More geekiness.

[@robertjusic9097]

The mechanic guy is fucking great. Very knowledgable

[@Dunkelzeitgeist]

Kwoah, what a car! Could tell it was an XK8 from the first 2seconds, love it!

[@samybreezy2768]

Where is that Air France t-shirt from? I love it

[@82gksosjs]

[@chrishenry571]

Looks like you could (and should) put a 17x11 wheel on the back of that thing, it looks naturally tubbed for wide rear tires.

[@offtrackni]

Love these builds. 🎉 love the channel.

[@azazazaza1231]

This has become my new thing every Thursday thanks Alex

[@BugattiONE666]

As for the V10, i can see 4 options 1: VW Tourag V10 TDI 2: Some ancient Ford SUV or pickup with the 6.7 Triton 3: Mike from DriveTribes V10 MX5-Connought... Or, the one i think most likely, an Audi-S6/8 or Phaeton with the 5.0 V10 that went on to go into the Gallardo

[@neblolthecarnerd]

How expensive are ram SRT10s? Also you could probably get an inevitably exploded BMW M5 v10 😂

[@BugattiONE666]

@@neblolthecarnerd Well itas about half a year late but E60 M5s are about 15K for a Ropey one, As for the Ram their about 30 grand

At a guess theres a binding caliper ...front left and why there is brake judder

[@daverobotham5079]

Best one of the series so far, more Jags, less BMers.

[@lesklower7281]

A very nice Jaguar a few small issues Travarish did well l can definitely see this Jaguar making the trip with no problems also the BMW as for the Alpha Romeo may be after there reputation for breaking down but they are so stylish

[@NotDiiZE]

i remember seeing those Jags back in 2005 everywhere. now the are no where to be seen. i miss them tbh. the sound so good.

[@Sophiechic]

i remember that too the one's i still do see these days on occasion are really well kept xkrs with the multi spoke sepang wheels so at least people are looking after the best version!

[@Fluff3H]

As an ex alfa owner (had a mito had to upgrade size), I am stupidly jealous of that Alfa Romeo you got a hold of Alex. I hope you look after it and give it hell on the ring.

[@mikehiggins3791]

Straight from the podcast to this video my evening going well 😀

[@colindavis8579]

It’ll be fine until that ZF gearbox shits itself 😂 I might suggest a transmission oil and filter service as they are seldom done due to Jaguar saying that it is “sealed for life” even though ZF says service at 70,000

[@talz2527]

Haven't watched the video yet, but gave it a thumbs up cos I know it'll be good

[@Shot_Kawla]

Alex doing "American accents" is the funniest shit ever! 😂 And I'm American.😂

It's really too bad Taylor wasn't there for "the rear end feels a wee bit sloppy"

[@georgeadams6254]

06:17 - lol. that wink.

[@russellfrost5652]

Knew Tavarish would get a Jaaaag, thought it might be a ropey XKR, but this is a good base car with 2k to make go faster. I reckon Mark going to end up with an S6/S8 V10 oooor, a V12 with a misfire! 🤣 Still think Tayler’s little Z3 could be the winner if he can get it running as it’s so light and can have all the money thrown at it to make better.

[@lankyboy90]

I just had a look on Autotrader and was actually shocked at how little choice there was for a 4.0, 300+bhp, manual car for under 4k... There were literally 3 B6 S4 convertibles, one B7 S4 Convertible, a Cat S S5 and a 645ci Convertible!

[@cncgeneral]

Plenty of XKRs for £5k though

[@rickyfoofighter4926]

My favourite Jag right there. Please take good care of her 🙏

[@pantelos96]

The only you should change is the auto transmission with a manual like drive tribe did. Huge upgrade and hp unlock.
