WHAT'S THE MOST RELIABLE CAR WE'VE EVER OWNED?

[@stevescourou8006]

As someone who had to put his cat of 14 years down recently, Taylor I feel for you buddy. Our pets are our family, they bring joy and when they're gone you feel empty. Hang in there pal, could tell you wasnt quite yourself in this before the news.

[@JohnBaxendale]

Yup, feeling for you in this video Taylor, losing a pet is like losing family, lotsa love fella.

[@michaelbrooks8332]

They become parts of the family with there own personalities and stories and you will find fond memories being shared in years to come, my childhood cat went off to die years ago and today when talking about my new cat he ( my old cat) comes up and laughs are shared.

[@antonyread5595]

Definitely agree, I’ve had my pet rabbit of 7years pass recently and it was heart breaking 💔

[@davidparsons97]

I know how it feels after putting my last cat to sleep when he was 13 because of spinal cancer. You know when a pet is family when it leads to the first time you see your dad cry in your life. Really feel for Taylor😢

[@hamzasherazi9334]

Our cat ran away a couple of months ago. We did everything we could to find her but no luck. Not getting closure properly sucks.

[@crazyforcars]

Believe it or not, my first car was a Fiat Panda 750 L with 34 bhp (the boxy style one). I drove it for 80.000 km without a single issue.

They are NOT scrapping all older non ULEZ compliant vehicles - many are turning up here in't woolly North available at decent prices because we have fewer ULEZ schemes so its not an issue. I live near Middlesbrough where with its history of heavy heavy industry and chemical industry the air is so bad that driving a polluting pre-2016 diesel you actually are IMPROVING the air quality with your emissions

Nearly Taylor. Ive got a C6 RS6 with the V10. Its 572bhp and ive had it fir 6 years. Averaging 18.6 mpg. Costs an absolute bomb but would not live with out it. With you Taylor, ive put down 6 dogs, never gets any easier.

[@MrFlazz99]

Taylor's dog - heartfelt condolences (in chorus with everybody else who's watched this vid), but she had a good long life by the sounds of things and you will always have the memories. Rory's out-takes: briliiant. "Can Rory read a script..?" Decades (3) ago I applied for a job with the BBC to be an announcer and had to send in a recording of my voice doing some made-up continuity blurb. This was in the days before internet and digital recordings, so it went on a cassette. HOW much did I practice my cadence and intonation and listen back to my own voice on cassette..? I'm not a naturally fast speaker (blame it on Welsh genes and/or West Midlands upbringing) but I do accents quite well - and this was for a job with the BBC in Wales - so I went through my spiel in archetypal Queen's English and then broke into a genuine North Wales drawl. The Welsh intonation helped disguise some of my natural West Midlander speaking tendencies. I never got any direct feedback, but when I chased them for progress they did say that they were relistening to recordings. Do I think I can read a script without falling over my words? Do I....pause....a lot when speaking? I'll refer to Rory's own answers! What I learned is to avoid talking off the cuff, which also means editing any script to the point where I don't feel impelled to adlib. Credit to you guys who go on these vids and sound 'natural' - I don't think I was ever meant to be a media voice.

[@marklewis5460]

Completely agree with you on ULEZ. I have a freelander which isn't ULEZ compliant which we use for towing. The 12.50 a day charge really irks me whenever I go out in it. Have bought a 2003 Cooper S to use as a local runabout instead

[@EAADetailing]

Mine was a 2003 ford crown victoria police interceptor. I broke off one of the bolts that holds down an ignition coil, still ran fine. Ran the car through deep water and it DEFINITELY sucked in water. Turned the car off, back on two hours later... still was fine after years. Rusted to hell and back but I sold it years ago.... they had it for a week when the transmission blew up.

[@meister_harris5623]

My 06 1.4 Ibiza is the most reliable little pebble. Had it 4 years now and it served as my first car, show car now semi-daily. In 4 years it’s had a £30 CV joint and boot, a £45 battery and that’s it!! Service it regardless every year and it’s on 120k stock clutch aswell🤩

[@simplysimon123]

So sorry to hear of your loss Taylor, they really are family with extra legs, loving them and loosing them is such a bitter sweet experience. She clearly had a good life in a loving home. Thinking of you.

[@monaabbyhamedani917]

My 2005 Fabia (with mighty 3 cylinder power) is so shit and so neglected and so utterly dependable I can't replace him with any other daily 😅 I rarely name my cars but big shout out to Fabio, you're a good one ❤

[@FrogonWheels]

Hi mates. Very very few cars from portuguese brand´s but the most famous is whithout a doubt the UMM jeep. (Metal-Mechanic Union) Querky very fun and even got a turbo version. I think there´s one in the UK at least Keep up the good work guys Shoutout to Bruno!

[@oj_lewis0996]

Feel for you Taylor and your mum, had to put ours down last year, so so sad😢😢. Stay strong buddy

[@Josh_Wright]

I have an Alfa 159 with the 2.4 turbodiesel 5 pot. More than reliable. Only diesel with charm on the 939 platform. The 2.0 is the safest bet, the 1.9 is the cheapest but it has an awful gearbox (M32) compared to the F40 gearbox in the 2.4. Stick cruise control on at 60 and you can fetch 50-60mpg so long as your engine is clean. Petrols, 1.8 mpi is underpowered, 1750 Tbi is cool and a pure Alfa engine, 2.2 is the most common and the 3.2 is cool but it's not a Busso V6 and it's awful on fuel. Alfa's reliability may not be like Toyota but it's unreliability factor is blown out of proportion cos of how bad they were 30+ years ago with rust etc. Absolutely love my 159, it looks the bollocks in any car park no matter what it's next to, it's quick as hell with a map and pulls like a train and makes 5 cylinder noises.

[@gavinferrer]

Taylor, awfully sorry to hear about your pup. I still love all the dogs I have ever had and so will you.

[@redsidebiker]

After a CV boot was fitted a week after I bought it, the 1991 Rover 416GSi. Bought it for £116 on ebay. Ran it for 2 years with zero issues. Rot killed it.

Hey Taylor, I had a pigeon attack me on the M3. Saw it at last moment before it hit. Perfect aim as it took out my Mercedes badge on the grill. Exploded everywhere. Could not make up my mind if sad for the pigeon or angry at the damage. P.S. Sorry about your dog. Very sad.

[@hemdale]

My most reliable one was a BMW E90 320d with the good M47TÜ right after my two Mercedes W201 2.0 gasoline. Earned some BMW E39 with the M54 V6 (great engines), but they had some real bad rust issues. I actually own a BMW E60 (M54) and this is great car too.

[@thediabetico6130]

I've had three cars A 2002 Toyota Corolla A 2011 Vauxhall Astra A 2013 BMW 116i (current) The corolla never ever broke mechanically, and I mean never The astra breaking was a personal passion for it, broke down 18hrs after I picked it up and it went downhill from there The BMW had 1 breakdown 1 month in, bar that it's been lovely and faultless, for now.

[@JohnClark-ew8dh]

I disagree on the Subaru reliability, I had a bugeye WRX for 6 or 7 years, dont think I serviced it during that time and only ever had to replace a brake caliper. Then later had a non turbo Legacy with the same EJ20 and only had to replace 2 brake bulbs on it. I love the early 00's Subarus, I'd have either back in a heartbeat

[@vespacheck]

[@beany1987]

My most reliable and surprising car is a citroen ds4, 11 years old only ever had to put discs and pads, timing belts, water pumps. Has no rust at all and gets 60mpg, just regular oil changes every 6k, and that's it. Currently, on 208k, but basic maintenance, and it's been brilliant.

Haha recently in Warsaw, Poland, a clean transport zone was introduced, which make completely no sense as it allows specific cars to enter it based on the car manufacturing date XD so if you have a 2004 E46 diesel you cannot enter, but if you have an exactly same spec 2005 E46 diesel, then sure you can go in. Emissions have no impact, it's all based on the year, so... ULEZ sucks but at least it makes some sense. Also, ULEZ lets you pay for entry, in Warsaw you just can't get in, period. 21:40
