I love how ambitious these guys are since launch of their channel. I mean they really go big

It’s shit mate had so much potential and we get a travel channel 😂😂

[@richreeve8992]

​@@Sorry24538 why are you here then? It's amazing. If you want car content, go and watch TDC... I'd rather watch this, than Ethan not knowing what's going on being forced to make car content when he has zero interest in it.

[@SpaceMissile]

life is just one big car ride, and they're using All The Gear.

[@DetectiveDeuche]

I love the direction this channel has taken, I was a little disappointed knowing it wouldn't be ethan being forced to do car content for our entertainment but at the same time seeing Jack and Ethan both looking so much more entertained, and knowing that there could and most likely will be crossovers in the autoalex universe makes me so happy. Plus it really seems as if Jack and Ethan have cornered a really niche market here and really cultivated their own audience.

Challenge: start at one side of Central Milton Keynes and get to the other. Use all the phones, guides and maps you need. The challenge is that you have to be in Milton Keynes.

[@kevinlawes591]

Hahaha no chance they'll be walking around roundabouts until they are pensioners lol 😆

I've lived most of my life in Milton Keynes (28 yrs old) and even I would struggle

[@danieljack8735]

Fan from Japan here. Was astonished to see the ordeal unfold. As someone who lived in Tokyo for 5 years, even I can't picture myself doing this on my own. I also appreciate the highlights on spots on the way. The following people idea was kind of clever, as that is a good tactic to find the big streets. Sounds like you guys may have stumbled on some candidate making a roadside speech at the end. We recently had a gubernatorial election, so that may have been it. Anyways, definitely will look forward to the road trip video ! Best of luck to you all ! Anonymous Japanese p.s. Sorry for the long comment, I am not used to this. Just wanted to lay out my appreciation.

[@16valveBravoSpoonz]

this was so refreshing to watch, no clickbait title and was just in general a nice relaxing video to watch after work.

[@fullonthrax7825]

Love how jack and ethan still involve themselves with alex and the rest of the crew but set out to do something different exploring the world while still keeping alex crew in the loop. Leaving car throttle was the good choice for the 3 lads

[@letpigsfly]

Leaving Alex was the best choice for these lads.

[@lbnewell23]

I feel like Venice or something similar in Italy would be an interesting one with no map because they’re not that big to walk across but the streets are so tiny they’re like labyrinths

[@Recessio]

They should do Lucca in Italy. I remember Top Gear had a great challenge that was simply "leave Lucca"!

[@lbnewell23]

@@Recessio I do remember that they could replicate it but if you remember that particular city was so difficult because of the one way systems which don’t apply on foot which is the main reason why Venice came to mind because if they are doing it on foot Venice has no roads obviously but I think a city like Lucca and just doing the challenge in a car would be awesome

[@Murray_23]

Good shout, I got lost in Venice with a map! 🤣🤦🏻

[@lbnewell23]

@@Murray_23 the thing that’s funny about Venice is sometimes even when you try to use your phone the narrowness of the streets means it can’t reach satellites so even your phone doesn’t quite know where you are 😂

[@HendrickT-bi4iw]

@@Recessio I've been to Lucca and it's not that hard to find your way around without a map. Maybe driving around is a different story but I feel like TG definitely made that look a bit more dramatic than it really was.

[@samGD3]

This is such an amazing concept. I LOVE doing this in a completely new and foreign city/country. Theres something so serene about walking around “regular places”, down regular streets, regular intersections, regular corner stores. It may be so boring to a local but to a foreigner, those regular places are the ones you remember the most as if imagining how your life would be if this regular foreign place across the globe is where you wouldve lived. Well done boys, cant wait for the next one

[@pppalex16]

Agreed completely. I love doing that as well.

[@catmandoodoo7903]

Not just the best spin-off channel from CT, but one of the best channels full-stop. Awesome. Now time to do Pyongyang.

Enjoying these video's lads, its nice watching something abit different 👍

[@ColinVIP]

The production value of your content is incredible, you’ve set a high bar for the rest of KZbin.

[@paulmcmillan5941]

I can't think of another channel that's like this. It's brilliant entertainment, informative, fun and makes each episode feel very fresh!

[@RJW00dy]

Top tip for next time or for those heading to Japan in the heat: Get yourself plenty of pocari sweat. Its like Powerade or a Lucozade sports drink. Replaces all the goodness you sweat out. Bloody miracle drink. Love the vid lads. Been to Japan twice myself and instantly knew what a daunting task you were up against

[@SpaceMissile]

good shout

[@AussieDaz87]

Pocari Sweat got me to the top of Fuji in summer!

[@matthewyoung3942]

So this has got me thinking about that pick up truck tog gear episode in Canada. You two dropped off in the sticks somewhere and you have 24 hrs to find the nearest town but as soon as the clock strikes 24 hrs you have to stay put, make camp and wait to be rescued by Alex and the TDC boys. The person closest to the nearest town gets to pick which rescue team they want to retrieve them and the first team back to the town wins 😊

[@faisalqureshi5882]

I've always said to myself that some of the popular car youtubers should do a travel vlog, simply because of how good they are in front of camera, their shots, and editing. This is an example. Love your work... keep going and looking forward to more.

[@johnrestel2994]

Always loved watching the car throttle days and wasn’t too sure about this NEW approach BUT I’m loving it. It’s completely different to what you used to do and it’s great. 😊

[@markplenty2631]

This was so brave and love Ethan's Japanese language efforts! Gotta give it to you, I get lost even when I have been somewhere let alone Tokyo 🗼🇯🇵

[@Mabstube]

A safe friendly city to go wondering around, especially without any assitance is the best way to absorb the beauty of Tokyo.

[@dankrafted]

Loved this, much to be said about understanding a city when you just walk around aimlessly (even if you did have an aim)... Vietnam is a must for this, Hanoi was mental when we visited in the age before smartphones.

[@kevinlawes591]

Young lad I know booked a flight to north Vietnam from uk rented a motorbike rode to the southern tip posted the bike back and jumped a plane home! Why not if you can enjoy life do it! 👍🏻

Excellent video and reinforces my belief of trying to get my bearings in any new place without relying on technology. Thanks for taking us with you- looking forward to the next episode.

Enjoying the different direction they chose to go with their channel. I like that Ethan is doing something more to his tastes as well.

[@mikemac803]

You should do Istanbul. You can start at the Istanbul Sapphire observation deck and walk to the Grand Bazaar and then get the ferry to Asia as your only public transport and walk to Camlica Mosque where you get another great view. It's about 14 miles in length and goes through most of the best parts of the city.

[@Mrb00st]

The new channel is absolutely ace guys, I think this content suits you both. CarThrottle and AutoAlex both seemed like a derestricted Top Gear at their best, and the best parts of TG were always the travellogs. -former CT writer from before the KZbin days

Absolutely loved watching you two do this! I was thinking this channel world do car videos and everything Ethan does in his garage but I'm so glad it's more (Hopefully the other videos are there too! If you're genuinely interested in them of course!)

[@Zogbee]

I moved from West London to Tokyo five years ago and still remain here (I actually visited the Skytree just yesterday), I must applaud you both.. Especially doing this in the middle of the Japanese summer, the humidity is suffocating, and it isn't a good time being outside. Even navigating Tokyo with google maps can be a frustrating, but to do this without any phone or traditional map is quite the achievement. Loving the content, Jack & Ethan keep it coming!

[@Me64034]

If it weren't for the fact I'd seen these 2 working together previously, I wouldn't have watched this video. Which I really enjoyed

[@sjarod]

There is no shortage of 'foreigners walking around japan' content on youtube, but i really enjoy seeing these guys do this challenge in tokyo

[@GitShiddy]

This is such a great concept. It's definitely repeatable in various places and would maintain a consistent watchability.

I thought Edwin was better than that with his car knowledge 😂 he got the 787 bit right but it’s not the Renault it’s the Mazda livery.

[@fabyrbl8177]

maybe the next few challenges/ videos would be in romania, visiting famous places(castles, monasteries, transfagarașan and mamaia) and i believe the best way to make it fun is doing basically this, but by car, no map/phone, use roadsigns and ask people, i reccomend starting in constanta/mamaia at night (also visit a few car meets along the way, for example in constanta there are 2 places Aqua magic and the port parking, in bucharest there is the people's palace)

[@henrykravitz468]
