[@mgcharoudin]

That limp mode almost gave me a PTSD. But the M&Ms prevented it. On to many more responsible shitbox laps❤️🔥

[@TheHarrie93]

What's quicker. This lemon or a VW up? Cause those can overtake Ferrari's so I'm told.

[@g__o__l__d__6673]

100£ shitbox next lol

[@LSATSB]

Qualmedie would be up for a lap in Bernard as well, Alter Schwede!

[@tadassmolskas3014]

@@TheHarrie93 got to be the slk stock, more power and lower centre of gravity but it depends. Mishas up was like 150hp/tonne and had a bunch of handling mods so definetly faster than this lemon but thats not really a fair comparison. Stock vw up mpi is super gutless and understeery so even this lemon would probably beat it, for example I have been overtaken by new volvo trucks (without trailers) even when i was shifting at 3k rpm.

[@tocsa120ls]

"Go home and scrap it?" Why not yeet it until the gearbox breaks, pay Lenz and have it crushed... killing the car on the Nürburgring is kind of like the viking funeral for people :)

[@joealex65]

Misha for sure has a few screws lose in a good way, that was WAY too fun to watch! 😂

[@mgcharoudin]

🥰🥰🥰

[@ghomerhust]

when you know the track, you can take a real shitbox and make it a TON of fun! i had an 85 vw cabriolet with a mk2 gti motor, kw suspension, sticky falken tires, i could run under 8 and a half minutes (over 20 years ago)(rarely had to hit the brakes, it just TURNED) and loved every second! with over 100 laps in that car, and over 10,000 laps in sim, i really wish i could go back with my knowledge and give it another go to see how i do

[@crazycjk]

I seriously appreciate Misha's sense of humour. Also I recently watched his lap with Robert Kubica.. And this is the complete opposite, eating M&Ms and chilling

[@RENO_K]

HAHAH "we're gonna brake in about 5 minutes"

[@jkilian86]

Matthias Malmedie is probably as well known as Jeremy Clarkson in Germany so that's kinda amazing to see him help Alex with his roof

[@suicidefish]

I did not expect to see him in a video from Alex 😆

[@KA_Sammler]

Yes, Qualmedie!

[@bid84]

Is he as big as Hasselhoff?

[@KA_Sammler]

@@bid84 At least.

[@russrh]

He never ages! Looks the same as when I first saw him on auto motor und sport

[@nathanaelwarden]

I love how chilled Misha was, just eating m&ms and telling Alex off for driving too slowly! Awesome video as always. Keep up the good work

[@zaixai9441]

Yeah. And then when Alex is "I'm going to block the Fiesta" Misha is like "no ww aren't Road rules apply" and Alex say "oh ok" like he got told off by his teacher at school. Great duo.

[@ghomerhust]

had that transmission been in working order, it really would have been good to see what that little shitbox could put down when you hit the boost. they were very light, and made good power. i remember seeing those hitting well over 140mph on the autobahn when i was stationed in Kaiserslautern in that era. that was when the first gen audi TT came out, lots of fun autobahn rockets

[@tiber4159]

Loving the content Alex. You and Misha have real chemistry, would love to see more videos with you both.

[@pieterv6984]

definitely

[@Ashar781]

Agreed

[@ashley_neal]

Loved that video guys. Please get a Nürburgring sticker for the back of Bernard before he's scrapped.A fitting send off 👍

[@jackreid6412]

The best driver ^ 😆

[@OldSkoolLover1996]

Good to see you here Ash! :D

[@bradleyharrisYT]

I want to see you do a Nurburgring lap, Ashley!!

[@Gobbbbb]

@@bradleyharrisYT Sure would be interesting to see a road instructors approach to "track" driving, learning on his own while being observed.

[@rossmaclean2]

Draw it on with a sharpie. Adds to the budget aesthetic.

[@martinkarlsson5827]

Pretty insane to overtake M cars, Porsches and Teslas with a £500 car

[@gpaje]

Well, they aren't racing, some are just cruising around, but still an achievement to drive from the UK to Germany and do a couple of laps without a major breakdown in that car.

[@nirfz]

it's less the £500, than that they did all this without using full throttle that impressed me! (full throttle= limp mode in their case)

[@HazewinDog]

the driver is the most important when it comes to amateur racing, ESPECIALLY on a track like the Nurburgring.

[@ghomerhust]

@@HazewinDog know the flow, know the line. smooth equals fast laps.

[@ghomerhust]

@@nirfz in the USA, 700 dollars (about 500 pounds) wont even get you a running car. my friend got a special deal, a 2011 sentra with bad coils and plugs, and no bushings, automatic, leaking cat converter and muffler and no stereo, for 1000 dollars.... because a friend of mine runs a dealership that repairs funky volkswagens, and had this sentra just dropped into his lap, and wanted to get rid of it. he spent zero, so a thousand dollars was pure profit and he didnt have to do a damn thing.

[@stevenellis3770]

Misha has to be one of the best KZbin guests I’ve seen on a motoring channel. Hunting down that M2 was ace. Funny guy, a great driver and a ‘smooth operator’.

[@allthehandlesweretaken]

Never seen this side of misha before. Hes like a angry dad teaching his son to drive for the first time but in a Rental car.

[@charlieward7606]

ahah yeah he is usually so polite and such but i think they are good buddies and i found it hilarious xD

[@thematofall]

Misha is an unbelivable driver, what a legend!

[@welshtony1]

You guys need to go see Misha more often. This was a fun video to watch. Maybe do something like "The cheapest Porsche in the UK meets the Nürburgring". Just a idea ;)

[@jacobruiz8269]

It's truly impressive to see what a vehicle is capable of with the right driver expertise. It's insane how much he's pushing through the corners looool

[@kurluk04]

I love how misha is CONSTANTLY looking in all the mirrors at all times - he clearly has done so many laps in such high performance cars this must feel slow as you like 😂 he’s also a fantastic driver and a great video 👍

[@oliverrice8869]

Misha is the man.. sat there casually eating m&ms whilst giving alex pretty clear and concise instructions on how to drive.. excellent work.

[@shiftsync9988]

Misha eating snacks, advising Alex how to take the track reminds me of Han from Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift, teaching Sean how to drift 😂

[@javidgt8]

Seeing Misha deal with Alex’s nonsense is too funny. Not to mention how fkn awesome it is to see 2 of my favorite KZbinrs collab!

[@NavGTI]

Misha is an absolute treasure. Humorous but at the same time very skilled at knowing the 'Ring and, maybe more importantly, he is always in control and calm which makes him a trustworthy mentor. Kudos!

[@astrobinge]

Misha's faith in your skills while also teaching you new skills is crazy. All while eating m&m's is amazing.

[@joypops1]

I am so happy to see you doing the kind of content you wanted to do and are having fun doing so. Not to mention, doing all the right things in the right place at the right time. Misha you absolute chad.

[@mattwatkins6282]

Misha’s such a dude, effortlessly slaying everyone else in the sh1tbox SLK. 😅

[@SimonPhillipsPhoto]

Another great video! I enjoyed this Alex. The 24H race will be a good one to tick off the list when you do it.

[@thetommieboy19]

Already been subscribed to both your channels for some time, but this collab is just brilliant! Keep up the good work guys! 😁

[@GabmanDK]

"Anything can be a race car if you believe in it". Those are words to live by ❤️

[@firedude1Productions]

Even a chevy equinox?

[@stilianvelichkov7410]

Keep up the amazing content, Alex! Cheers, mate! ❤

[@robertpavely3024]

Love watching misha talk people round the ring its always entertaining so chilled

[@ahdamntv4958]

I appreciate how aware @Misha Charoudin is for the lap, regardless of the speed or M&M's.

[@deanmiller4155]

Been brought here after seeing you at the NEC this weekend. I bought my own SLK Martha for £500 this year, so loved this episode. Will defo be checking out more 👍

[@statesidesupercars]

5:19 hey that's me on the left

[@ethanjack4298]

Great video. I had the same car, and for the roof you can open a valve on the pump in the boot which lets you manually put the roof up and down. It has an allen key under the cover which fits.

[@plasmablue_sti6945]

Way to good - I´m in tears - that look of Misha nomming the M&Ms and giving adivce is gold 🤣

[@AaronRandolphChen]

Pancake was a bonus highlight for the video!! Good dog, Pancake!

[@breezeracing8015]

Loving the chocolate milk still in the cup holder 😂

[@harry_1409]

Been looking forward to this. Keep up the good work!

[@COLD-START]

Loving the channel Alex! Nice to see other KZbinrs also doing videos on the slk, in my opinion the cheapest future classic you can get!

[@DorDor400]

This was a good laugh! Funny to see this side of Misha and the dynamic between you two, so good haha. I approve and encourage this series

[@shalquoir9722]

This is the collab nobody knew we needed! Awesome content this 🔥🔥

[@eze8970]

Thanks for the Tour & fast laps, great stuff! 🙏

[@RobBeveridgeCars]

Yesss soo good seeing Misha on the channel, superb video!

[@MrAlengold]

Misha taking this very seriously! Loving it 😂❤️Legends both of you 😃

[@Perthshire]

Biggest legends ever. Total heroes. Leaders of men. Utter, utter legends

[@michaelkenny4124]

Every single piece of content you guys put out is gold.

[@gbspikyfish]

That was a lot of fun to watch, and I'm very impressed you managed to do the whole lot for a grand.

[@l333boa]

Alex loving the channel, I seriously can't wait to get over to the ring, been wanting to do it forever, planning on going over next year with the camper van and MGF makes it 😳 Misha is quality, be nice to meet him while I'm there 😎

[@simonthomas5367]

Misha is such a legend!! Awesome laps guys! Brilliant clip.

[@gleng6812]

Great video really really enjoyed it, so good to see the racing skills of Misha driving a £500 💩Box overtaking cars that cost more than 10 times! 🔥

[@genshinpostingch]

10:53 Nailed the "You Can't Park There M8"

[@matthewhill5893]

Great car for the track 👍, Misha really pushed it around there

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

This is the best MISHA video this week! Great work

[@zaixai9441]

I like how Misha is both unhinged and serious at the same time.

[@Vitor_hugo25]

Im loving this channel. Thank you for this alex

[@julbrat01]

misha is litterally me when i was helping my mates getting their license. keep up the good work fellas

[@slavplaysgames]

LEGENDARY VIDEO OMG ! SO AWESOME SO GOOD BOIS ! I WANT TO SEE YOU GUYS RACE TO NURBURGRING AND WHO IS GONNA MAKE THE FASTEST LAP FIRST FOR 5000 POUND CAR

[@vegasphil]

Misha makes it look so easy. Great video!

[@sir__vasilis]

I had so much fun watching that! Misha is an awesome guy!

[@thejoneseys]

That second lap was epic 👌🏻

[@faisalleeds]

Such a good video and Misha is always great fun. Thought you wouldn't get the roof back up! Hopefully it made it back to England.

[@TurboInstynkt]

Misha and Alex, I didn't expect that! 10/10 top quality content lads

[@Twinguin]

Brilliant. Just brilliant. Hope the two if you make a follow up soon. Maybe even with Mr Qualmedie as a cameo.

[@althejazzman]

Seeing how calm and confident Misha was when giving Alex directions shows just how many times he's been around the the Nurburgring Nordschleife.

[@acefoxuk]

Epic! Great video Alex, Misha is awesome!

[@oliverneuk9591]

No one can live up to making good videos as this!

[@davidtraynor8075]

Haha, loved it! Love Misha, great video Alex, keep it up!

[@mikeormond7883]

Absolutely loved this alex and Mischa, awesome 😎

[@ronan7812]

Great collaboration fellas. Well done.

[@sahibsinghlall3991]

Love this, Alex, Misha u legends!

[@owenhall488]

Cantbelive rory has never had chocolate milk🤣🤣

[@AutoalexCars]

init, what a mad mad!

[@sagas070707]

I think that's a lie. Unless you're allergic to it, everyone got chocolate milk after the 10 years old. Exept the people that live in great sentinel island, but he doesn't look that he come from there.

[@danisantabarbara5931]

Misha is a great guy, thanks to the both of ya.

[@bumbumbano]

The two of you should be the next Generation TopGear/GrandTour!!!

[@UpsideDownFork]

Just needs a manual conversion, suspension and tyres and it will set some quick times. Can also fit a smaller pulley on the supercharger for some cheap extra ponies.

[@hummingbird.media.productions]

More of this! Love it

[@mohawkZT]

Best day ever! Loved that and Misha can drive!

[@pure_awareness]

These two are great together ❤️ 🤭 Boris is back.

[@0riginalkiyoshi]

We gonna need more misha content, this guy’s funny as hell with a super subtle personality. Also his driving skills are 💯

[@laerlorn971]

He has channel with hundreds of videos - Misha Charoudin. Tbh, he was very relaxed on this one, but you can watch pretty much life of the Apex company and sort of humble pro driver and Ring celebrity. Even met him live back in May 2019, good times

[@CarObsession]

What I love most about this video is how slow the instructions are from Misha - normally they're so fast that you can just about keep up - whereas because Bernard is so slow, he would probably have time to write them down and give them to Alex visually 😂

[@ThaMythbuster]

That was fantastic! If we stay at Apex, could we also hire Misha for riding passenger(or driving our car) and chatting/giving advise during a lap? Because he seems like a genuinely fun to have in the car while still learning a lot!

[@mgcharoudin]

You can!

[@420Schmat]

I loved Misha's enthusiasm instructing Alex on the first lap. 10/10

[@69bock69]

Loved this Alex!!! You need to do a proper ring budget build racer. But with a Alex twist , random retro.

[@boostedcrxvids]

GREAT JOB ON THE SICK VIDEOS ALEX!!!! YOU ARE BETTER THAN THE NEW TOPGEAR!

[@donnymcdiarmid9767]

Great video Alex and also decent lap in Bernard. Didn't like misha grabbing the wheel a few times though, thought it was dangerous.

[@ProfessionalDumbass420]

Misha is the most straightforward person lmao, like he just yoinks the wheel and is like "on the curb GO ON THE CURB"

[@metalforever5633]

Fun video..This weekend its my turn in my 206 gti shitbox cant wait Grey car and bright yellow rims cant mis it

[@jimbuilds]

The lap was fun to watch, its the new benchmark when I take my mk1 cortina

[@captainevenslower4400]

Why does this video have to come 2 weeks after I did a lap in my 20y old shitbox vw van. I could have used some racing lines. But honestly one of the best videos I ever watched.

[@3dScience8]

one of the best nurburgring videos

[@MoritzHenzi]

The gym clip gave me an idea, everyone does bench, squad and deadlift and the amount of weight on pounds they pull, that's the amount of money they can spend on a car and then you do challenges and stuff like that

[@theschmonkiboy]

i really fell off my couch laughing when seeing Matthias Malmedie coming up... really funny! Greets from Germany!

[@rossmclaren71]

Epic video ! He is one cool Guy and a great instructor!!

[@douglasvieira1990dv]

Great content ! Bring us more !

[@Dy1an.k]

the way he's so casual directing alex round the lap is hilarious

[@Antoni_Antunovich]

Awesome content Alex, if you ever decide to come over to New Zealand ill take you for a spin in the Volvo

[@R19Robbin]

Love videos like this 🔥🔥

[@Alteshaus21]

Mega, immer witzig wenn du deutsch sprichst 😂 immer so unerwartet. Und dann noch Matthias getroffen, cool!

[@owenhall488]

Nice vid love u alex keep u the good work

[@kevinisaac9139]

Brilliant video lads 👍

[@timpeeters2267]

Misha can drive! so much fun with so little car!

[@ARL-LOGISTICS]

Just sat there eating some m&m's. Love it..so chilled

[@applejuice5272]

4:11 *"Limp mode"* "That's unpleasant." *"I know. It's something I wake up with every day."* 🤣

[@KenanRaptor]

if I remember correctly, that car has a slot where you put in a key what can be found by your spare wheel. you need to find the slot somewhere stick the key inside it and turn for the roof to open/close manually. my friend got one of those mercs and used that when his batterie died and the roof was still open.

[@dilsak2794]

Brilliant conversation on the track some laugh a had watching it

[@pileji]

I have never seen @misha Charoudin have so much fun :D
