I totally get the excitement and emotions of super and hyper cars, but too few are actually able to buy them, so it always seemed somewhat pointless to me having well-earning presenters test cars I won't be able to afford, only to point out the pros, cons and differences I won't experience anyway.

you managed to find the only version of the B5 Passat that is worth owning. diesel manual. it gets rid of all of the major issues that plagued that platform. the 1.8T and V6 were very high maintenance engines, the automatic was absolutely terrible. so many of those ended up in the wreckers for those items. Percy is a solid old car.

I live near the ladybower, you should’ve gone and visited the B29 Bomber aeroplane crash site near the snake pass. Good walk and interesting to see!

This would have been so good if it was Alex vs Jack vs Ethan and they all had to buy a car before making the journey. Nevertheless, great video!

Welcome to my neck of the woods lads, Snake Pass is minutes from my door. You need to bring Phil up here for a razz over, its a great road in a light, small car!

Alex is the real winner here... Not only because he got Percy out of it (will love seeing the journey you take that Passat through) but also because I don't consider Uber & co public transportation. A cab would've been different because, while you can request them through apps and so on, most of the times you'll just flag them down. For next challenge, I feel like there should be a rule about cars, meaning, if they need to get a cab, it has to be as a last resource (like they did), for the last section of the challenge, but they have to find it on the street and flag them down, no apps

In the end Alex won. When there was no bus after the train got late and they didn't get the other one the miserablility of public transport was proven. Taking an Uber, a car, to beat a car is just proving that cars are much more comfortable and easier to travel with. Love your content, though! Please never stop!

I walked Derwent Edge around the same time this would have been filmed, would highly highly recommend to anybody who hasn't done the route already. Also, snake pass is absolutely incredible.

people say that public transport is quicker, but when it goes wrong - which let's be honest in the UK it is rather often, it turns into a catastrophe

Did you enjoy the Snake pass? There's a lot of great roads around this part of the world, I'm lucky to live up here. I've not taken my Turbo R on there yet but will do some day. Nice Brooklands at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="833">13:53</a> as well :)
