This is Will's X5, and it's been abandoned under a tree for the past 3 years. Since starting this new channel, Will hasn't had time to fix the car yet. So today I'm going to steal it, bring him to the unit, surprise him with the car, and force him to fix it. What could possibly go wrong?
A huge thank you to 👇

Okay

[@leroy1196]

calling ethan to check the oil cap was a good call.

[@mexibobor]

I am going to be honest, when Edwin was announcing quitting and starting his own youtube channel I wasn't sure whether he would have the pull for it. But so far, out of AutoAlex, TDC and All the Gear, TDC has been my favorite channel and hopefully they continue doing the great work

Genuinely one of the realist youtube car revivals I've seen. Sometimes it's best to just start from fresh. There's a convertible in my life that's got a ruined interior, a power top that doesn't move, and a heater core to replace and while these are all things to be sorted on any classic. All at once is as much as finding one with any singular problem.

[@0badboy0]

never seen a KZbin channel that works has hard as you two, i found you through car throttle, and you two have just surpassed them in every way.

[@althejazzman]

All the hours put into this video while we were busy watching the previous videos. It's true passion and commitment.

I can’t believe from one disastrous channel end to creating three amazing channels all through effort, support and a genuine love for what you do well done lads 🎉

[@iainfreeman5112]

I love Edwin’s love for Will in this video. Surprising him with the project & wheels is so nice.

[@SpaceMissile]

I know this is a really hard task, but I _live_ for content like this. It's like breathing new life into old, forgotten souls. I love it (edit: just finished the vid; I don't blame you for that choice at all lol)

[@CaptainHoratioPugwash]

I totally get what you mean. I spent about £220 restoring an antique umbrella a couple of years ago and while it was a daft way to spend that money it's SO satisfying to use it now.

[@lettuce984]

@@lettuce984 It was repaired by hand by skilled people using vintage parts and high quality material. There was a sterling silver collar missing that I had them replace which was about £75. When I got it it still had its original silk canopy; it would have cost even more if I had them replace it with silk! It was originally manufactured in 1906.

Honestly you guys are the best! when you made this channel i was excited to see what you did but didn't expect it to rocket to one of my favourite car channels in such a short amount of time, the chemistry and comedy is second to none, keep it up 🙌

[@CarpeNoctum95]

Glad after all the changes, the leave from CT and the break into 3 channels, Ethan is still the Milkman. Gotta keep experts like that close in your life.

I genuinely have no idea how you guys make these videos whilst working in cars SO MUCH. Props to ya!

[@patrickguinnane]

Actually doing a video with the hardship of having to fully fix the X5 would have been good. Much of the best content I have seen is actually those kinds of videos. Don't be afraid of longer format videos.
