22:25 "Don't Ever Try This At Home!" How Can We? We Have Neither Of Them! 😂😂

[@blazzz13]

In fairness, rich children of Russian oligarchs could probably set this up

[@devilisalive4667]

bruh come to INDIA u will get the better one

[@Lyzavell]

It is a must for me to try it at home

[@devrajsuryawanshi3539]

Fr lol

[@hanyani123]

What a pleasure watching this episode of Auto Trader on familiar sights in my home country, South Africa. Thanks guys for choosing South Africa for this shoot ❤

[@nsikamashaba5546]

I looked at the other car and name and I was like this is definitely built in SA

[@TANAKA1267]

Anyone notice Mbombe steering wheel looking like it’s loose

[@Storrmrage]

Looks like it’s about to fall off

[@firewaffle1]

I think the wheel isn't flat so it looks wobbly when it rotates

[@Car-crazy]

Yep.

[@Lucky32Luke]

I think it was bent by a previous journalist hitting a boulder. I don't think it is feature. Maybe a Tesla yoke 3.0 made where Elon was born?;)

[@DrRussell]

Face not perpendicular to shaft resulting in tilting on rotation

[@oscarkhoza7852]

Love to see this happening right on my home ground, South Africa 🇿🇦

[@NicolaiNNielsen]

Please do more videos like this! This is reminding me of Top Gear specials, competitions and more. Also, the two of you are a perfect couple of hosts

[@blakeraphael9936]

About an hour long episodes and hour n half specials with part 1 n part 2 would be sensational 👌🏾

[@Asdosie]

That was amazing. This felt like a top gear special honestly, Love this. Makes me happy to see this channel become bigger & bigger & do more extravagant things, Super good job!

[@blairbrown4812]

These are the next hosts of Top Gear. Assuming, of course, that the BBC gets their collective heads out of their collective 🐴and then gets up off of them.

[@benja_mint]

pretty sure they even borrowed a couple of the classic topgear lines for their script

Forget the tank, Rory's shirt is epic!!!

[@madebyapollo5912]

There are surely hundreds of G-wagon’s in joburg alone yet I don’t think we knew it could tow a plane! Loved this episode😂🤞🏽✨🇿🇦

[@Aditya_Atodaria]

they have gone "above and beyond" for this 100%. By the way that's land rover's phrase lol. Absolutely love the video!!

[@bawintermage8351]

Hawaiian shirt and a tank truck, what more could a guy want?

[@mathongolamani8733]

Gives me goosebumps to see one of the greatest episodes of Autotrader was shot in 🇿🇦 SA 🇿🇦

[@driftydegree5624]

As a South African I still want the Marauder

[@teeboytshepo6875]

Great to see an episode of one of my favorite car channels being filmed in our country. Good work guys

[@albenjo45]

That steering wheel of the MBOMBE moves all over the place so much! Great video!

[@ravim111]

I thought it may just fall off.

[@Riga_Style]

​@@ravim111I also thought that the steering wheel was not screwed on and would remain in my hands 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

[@SabitaBiswas-vg1nq]

❤❤😅

[@AnAncientCatBoi]

That's military grade for ya

[@mrhowmuch]

I’ve been telling all my friends Rory waved back at me 🙋🏾‍♂️ while filming at Gerotek , I’m happy to finally see the this film.

[@aasimyousaf2455]

This is one of the best videos this channel has ever made 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I'm late, but brilliant episode. I love these longer challenge films. Hands down my top 3 car review channel.

Greetings and love from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

very well done guys, enjoyed watching it. I just subscribed to your channel 😁

[@somerandomfella]

More of these please Autotrader 🙏 and Merry Christmas Rory & Alex 🥳🥳🥳

[@keasenne]

You guys make a great team.. 👌🏾 Keep it up guys!!! Funny enough I saw that plane in Lanseria on Sunday when I landed there, now I am watching it. 🕺🏽

[@Account1746]

Very top gear-y, can’t go wrong with these type of videos

[@Resist_Oppression]

If it's top geary, they are headed in the wrong direction. There's a reason top gear died.

[@shreeyansmohanty6649]

@@Resist_Oppression the top gear was dead after the trio left the show

[@kevinnev]

Yep

[@RR62JAG]

Hollywood and Disney make films so what’s your point?😂

[@longday3139]

At least its better than the current top gear

[@henrygachucha3815]

😂 Reminds me of Richard Hammond reviewing the "marauder "military vehicle in SA

[@CristianGabrielTorres]

I really, really miss that...

[@MrWinterblade]

It's the same company that does the Marauder in fact!

[@ericanunda]

The amount of hugging your partners will have questions. 😂

[@danfer7831]

Please keep bringing more exciting content like this 👏🏻

Dope video as a proud South African.✨

Literally the best vid of auto trader🎉🎉

[@roygalaxy5254]

Amazing episode! Thank you!

[@dejanzelko8361]

Love this two together. They have a great chemistry. Love this type of videos. Keep them comming :-)

They are just perfect.. And their production team is also top tier 👌🏾

[@simphiwemiya3629]

Hey guys glad to see you in my home country and your show is epic. One question, why did you guys decide to fill up in a British filling station(BP)?

[@sibusiso.mabika]

Auto Trader in my home country South Africa 🇿🇦. Great video as always.

[@luimackjohnson302]

Amazing! Thank you AutoTrader for sharing this informative video. Now I need two of those vehicles right away! Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea.

[@gabrielmalapane-xy1rn]

It's interesting to see Auto Trader UK 🇬🇧 visit our country to film this Interesting video, lorry and Alex. we love you guys

[@countryside_guy]

The Mbombe 4 is around £500,000. It's also not a car Rory, it's a military truck.

[@YonsuKu]

I hope this channel grows to be the new Top Gear

[@londamavundla1400]

Epic episode guys! Nice to see our beloved home, South Africa, Johannesburg 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 showcased on this channel, again. We have 99 problems, but my goodness, we live in a breathtakingly beautiful country. With the warmest, welcoming, most beautiful people in the world.

[@danielayodele7350]

Awesome location and Top Gear inspired shenanigans make this a treat! More of this, RR and Lady Godriver!

[@whosyourmate8292]

That was absolutely ridiculous! Thank you 😂 loved it 👌👍

[@ss-lv1mw]

Please Autotrader we need more of these types of videos from alex and rory

[@Rishabhanand-uz8yu]

Amazing Production quality on this channel.

[@TheJoStephan]

Love this!!! Have always loved Rory’s work anyway. But this channel is just great content!

[@sakapole]

Another amazing video. Why the steering wheel is so weak? Greetings from Spain.

[@PatchedBandit]

4:25 Are we gonna talk about that steering wheel wobble? 🤣

[@aniruddhamulay2932]

The Kalyani M4, a licensed produced version of the Paramount Group's Mbombe 4 built for the Indian Army costs around $875,000/£670,000.

[@orionstretch]

This was loads of fun to watch. Great work you two.

[@ghost_lukh]

Great review and welcome once again to SA

[@Santoshlv426]

I was stupefied (in a good way) to see this filmed in South Africa just a couple of km's from where I live in Gauteng. And with regard to the content, firstly Alex, you're the GOAT - really rock for your intrepid taking on of Rory lying down ! The G Wagon surprised me with it's prowess. Next time, pit the G Wagon against a Land Cruiser and Defender.

[@pee2861]

Top movie! 👍 Please more of this kind of content. Nice promotion for the G-wagen 👌

[@peterosoro]

This has to be my favourite video from this channel

[@sibonisso]

The best one yet 🙌🏿

[@JustAutoChannel]

This is one of the best videos I have watched in 2023. I really appreciate you guys. Happy New Year 2024 .

[@veiwtationtv5987]

I love seeing y'all in my country (South Africa)

[@lafayettedelossantos6181]

I remember when Richard Hammond drove The Orange Marauder vs The Hummer [H3] haha and it is funny before you can get that MBOMBE they will thoroughly make sure to do a background check on you before you can purchase the Marauder haha

[@nemanjatosovic]

A mix of car reviews and short review like films like this, yeah kinda what top gear did, is what not really anyone does. I think Rory and the 2 Alexes have a good chemistry and this format would work well and I’m sure it will bring many viewers to the Chanel.

[@paulmuindiwilliam2945]

He's overcompensating for something.... smooth...

[@baloyi9548]

FYI the Engine actually fell off during a flight on that Nation Wide airline

[@mateyeseratha8785]

This is by far the best off road review episode I've seen this entire year 🙆🏿‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️🌹

[@mrsaudazhar]

Outclass production💯 Amazing work, need more videos like these

[@hanimusthafa]

Brilliant video.. loved it.. really done justice to G-wagon & MBOMBE ❤👍🏻

[@segnokosi1878]

I like Alex's driving skills.❤

[@ydafylsa]

That was definitely a perfect advertisement for the G Wagon, having said that the Mbombe has a weird moving steering wheel.

[@remedialone6987]

when he turns the wheel on the mbombe it looks like it's off axis or out of round

[@takundachitakatira5319]

🤣🤣🤣, I agree. It's freaking me out

[@JonathanEzor]

Just warped.

[@danielfrancis4258]

Please get the steering wheel fixed on the MBOMBE... 😒

Better and always better! Keep it up!!!

I can tell you guys had fun and Rory I have to say that I love your shirt 😂😂

😂😂😂we can't try this at home we got no mbombe's and recked planes parked at our homes 😂😂😂😂😂 u just made my day with that statement

[@markusdeep42]

What an amazing teamwork and outstanding review taking us through the semi wilderness. The G-Klass is a beast. I enjoyed watching these two making this channel really funny to watch. I don’t know what crossed Rory’s mind to think that Alex is the one they needed. ❤

[@user-re1cs8hp1k]

Happy to see onther episode from South Africa

Been ignoring your Ad for long till I gave and boy don't I regret finding this channel! Oh wait, YOU FOUND ME!

[@qhamokuhleshibane]

I have new found respect for what the G wagon can do, what a machine!

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

It's a shame that 99% of them will never do any of those things.

[@etherealicer]

Yeah, was pretty amazing when he pulled the plain... and even pushed the Mbombe :D

[@blackrippin]

@@RobertLeBlancPhoto good more good condition ones on the used market

[@zakf2929]

Just watching whistlindiesels video on him tearing one apart by making it do dumb things you realize how bloody epic those cars actually are.

In the army we had similar vehicle like this one, and it's called Ratel 6X6, 6 cylinder in line.... Was a pleasure to drive off road.

Reminds me of a top gear special, the nostalgia hit hard! This video was fantastic :)

I would like to see that machine go against Russian terrain against the gheo rescue or the sherpp or the aton Viking impulse
