@FatHead19799 сағат бұрын
Nope - Sorry guys, you know full well that Carly is a huge rip off for what it is, AND their billing practices would be considered illegal if they were subject to UK (which unfortunately they're not). Greate video but downvoted because some of your subscribers will get ripped off because of your 'recommendation' and they don't know any better 🤬

Video went out a bit earlier then? Isn't Alex's birthday on saturday (like mine). Anyway, from one half-german car nut to another, happy birthday Alex and welcome in the 40s! (I seem to have read your birthday is January 11th, so we share that, though i'm an '84 model and you're an '85). Many many MANY happy returns mate! Have a big party and another blessed year. Love watching you guys, TDC and all the gear. Have watched ever since the 'company that shall not be named'- days but what all of you turn out since you left that place is a million times better. Look forward to it every week and it always gives me a laugh, no matter how shit the week has been. THANK YOU, all of you. Wish you even more success. Take care! And for bleep's sake come to Sweden some time!

A suggestion: When Alex does the voice over work could he use the same microphone that's used elsewhere in the video? For example the audio of Alex doing the sponsor segment at 6:57 is so much more consistent with the rest of the video than the voice over audio you can hear around 6:44 an 10:00.

Drifting Rolls Royce making big black clouds from exhaust is most interesting Rolls ive ever saw. They haven't finished it yet but they go strong

Shame to write this. Because I really enjoy the entertainment these guys provide. Having seen Luis in previous videos I used him for transport jobs and he was spot on. I then noticed he had a car for sale and I agreed to buy it and he dropped it off. But the paperwork was missing. He promised he would send it to me in the post. It never arrived. Sadly he is now blanking all contact attempts I have made to gain an understanding of why? My trust of a fellow car guy has been completely crushed and I’m left with a useless vehicle I can’t do anything with. I’m absolutely gutted and really sad he’s screwed me over. Has anyone else had a similar experience with Luis? He seems trusted by so many KZbinrs I just can’t understand it 😢

We need to return to that definition of luxury for cars.

I don't know if this would be "wrong" to do... But I would be really interested in seeing how well a car like this could be "modernized". It seems everything is solid on most of these however there are some really "used" examples out there - so if you got a really bad one and then just went full on "refurbing and upgrading" it - how good would the result be. I think the shape and style of this car would be REALLY good as a platform for that - and would look amazing as a sort of "retro-futuristic" build. Just a thought.
