We’re taking three cheap Porsches on a 1000 mile trip from the UK, through France, Belgium and Germany, battling through horrendous weather and stopping for some track laps too. Joining us is AutoAlex in his 200,000 mile Porsche 911 993, Jack and Ethan from All the Gear in their £1500 supercharged Porsche 924, and we’re in our £5000 Porsche 911 that we pulled out of a scrapyard and rebuilt for as cheap as possible just a few months ago.

That GTI driver stopped to help even while having no idea what they needed. Props to him, a proper car guy

[@jonfollows7553]

He had to be on his way to work and chose to help and be late. Top bloke

[@SpaceMissile]

GTI ftw.

[@hexgraphica]

They're among the very few good narrators on car youtube, will already was a highlight at overdrive

[@iaintdonknow]

Will has a crazy GT-R R35 right?

[@hexgraphica]

@@iaintdonknow I don't know if he still has that

[@salt-emoji]

Will was my favorite from overdrive

[@beccasn8725]

Met the guy in one of their videos with subscribers, he was lovely

I can't unhear Edd China in the voice overs though.

[@lwainwright44]

Edwins Doug impression was spot on

[@triggerking135]

Timestamp?

[@triggerking135]

Found it, 10:33. Yep, spot on lol

[@veedubgeezer]

I came to mention this

[@SampaioLipe_]

Brought to you by cars and bids...

[@TheFleetflyer]

As other Porschephiles have commented, the R clip was missing from the caliper pin, allowing it to rattle out. The appropriate roadside fix would be to substitute a paper clip, or a small key ring, or anything else you can find of that ilk to prevent losing the caliper pin completely, which would be a much bigger headache to solve.

[@toucqi646]

10:33 --> *THIS* 👌

[@kennykunie6660]

All of it’s quirks and features

[@boskabiker]

And then I'm gonna give it a Doug score

[@Sithhy]

Thiiisssss...

[@eldan_reign4778]

seeing how you've progressed the Porsche project and how you've paced it makes me REALLY look forward to every single car this channel will ever buy

[@twotidoce]

Fr they got it on the road way quicker than I expected, thought i was a way to big of a project but nah. Alex would have bought 3 more cars just to not have to work on this one.

[@Twistandgouk]

​@@twotidoceall Alex does is buy run down motors, Taylor carries his channel n needs his own

[@rodrigoj88]

That museum with the planes actually has very many cool cars inside. F40, Muira, SLS, Le Mans winning cars, land speed record holder, Lancia 037, that 6 wheeled F1 car, etc.. happened upon it by accident too

[@artepjan]

original wing looks so much better in my humble opinion

[@NikoMoraKamu]

by miles the giant ricer wing doesn't suit at all this car and project

[@justincase9471]

It was fun meeting you on the track! That E30 was a 325i from 1986.😘

[@Cipher057]

On the Calliper pins, there should be a hole for a R clip to stop them from falling out 👍 So either someone didnt put it back in there, or it fell/broke off. Used to work on Porsches 😄

[@ferkle1980]

They only have 2 states…. Stuck or missing 😂😂

[@TomModsThings]

Came here to say the same thing 😅 paused the video and couldn't see the retaining clip 😂

[@112boatman]

A keyring works in a emergency

[@Cipher057]

@@ferkle1980 Ah yes, many happy hours smashing the pins out... and marring the red brembos... oops

[@PetarVN]

As someone who works for Doug's Auction platform (Cars & Bids) I really appreciated the "THIS!" at 10:32 :)

[@Finrayy]

That wing looked horrendous.

[@connorsmith1576]

I genuinely thought it was the joke one before they reveal the real wing and then all started taking it seriously 😂

[@Plain_sailing]

Was it not fuction over form?

[@JW-qf2fx]

at very least needed to be lower

[@willsimm6695]

Mayo in the oil filler is normal on these, The filler cap end is a long way from the engine and is much cooler, hence moisture condenses here and creates the mayo.

[@Cant_Frag]

Not really… my 996 started doing that really badly and it’s a head gasket or cracked cylinder head

[@JohnBaxendale]

Not *that* much though, surely?

[@danstimelessclassics5899]

It's 100% normal especially in that weather on long hot engine run ... Head gasket issue or blocked breather your get mayo in the header tank ​then it's panic stations 😂@@Cant_Frag

[@danstimelessclassics5899]

​@@JohnBaxendaleYeap that much I e seen more ....as long as you wipe it out and it's not in header tank keep calm n carry on

[@beesleyben]

So much better than most of Auto Alex videos. These guys seem to finish projects.

[@b18crlxi]

Yeah I like auto Alex but every video is a new car! Nothing seems to get finished just always on to the next project

[@TheTrooper115]

Helps that they don't act like overly excitable teenagers

[@AdamsWorlds]

Being honest, that wing looks terrible don't do it. Oh and well handled on the track good recovery.

[@misorodzinak8829]

Yeah, it's a bit too much isn't it

[@mrracecar3692]

Bigger is better though, right?

[@thedarkknight1971]

04:11 - Triumph Spitfire? NICE!... Guess that's for the AutoAlex 'Classic car challenge'? Ad I'm CERTAINLY looking forward to hearing about the Spit! 😏👍 😎🇬🇧

[@SD-oi9gr]

Not taking a jack for a car you just built is wild lmao. Especially when it’s not exactly too hard to fit in the car. It probably has its own space for it.

[@jondasek]

I mean, not having a jack in a car in general is wild... This car comes from an era when you'd have a spare wheel. What happened to the OEM jack, wrench, etc.?

[@wheeldesire]

@@jondasek it all fits into the frunk, with the kit inside the spacesaver, so I'm somewhat assuming it has been taken out or (again, somehow) they didn't know that

[@memorimusic420]

Atleast you made it through Antwerp traffic, thats an achievement on itself 😂

[@litr0m]

It's good to see you two smiling after all that effort 😃

[@ChrisCe.]

Edwin just gave away All The Gear’s first video! Ethan and Jack slept in the 924 in Germany! 😂

[@SafeBandicoot]

Mayo in the Porsche oil pour pipe is normal. Just enjoy.

[@TheFleetflyer]

Yeah, the engine has a lot of surface area on the inside which generates lots of condensation overnight. This makes mayonnaise when the car is driven. To get rid, just wipe it out with a cloth and run the car regularly and store in a heated garage. Or just ignore it.

[@SafeBandicoot]

@@TheFleetflyer the old engineer I bought my 911 from told me “all 911s are designed to be driven like how your wife should be loved, Regular and Vigorous.” I can’t afford a wife but followed the advice. The car has none of the widely discussed issues. And no need for heated garage.

[@Superzesh101]

The wing looks shite, NGL. Put the original one on! Car is amazing, just needs putting back together nicely now! Wicked car.

[@enrique5167]

The Technik Museum Sinsheim, and it's sibling, the Technik Museum Speyer, sure are worth a visit in the future. Planes, trains, boats, and cars, lots of cars!

[@vikingaero]

Quality: "The Pringles are going everywhere!" 😁

[@samholland7793]

Things that have never been said before during a race at N ring GP circuit 😝

[@HometownUnicorn]

You guys are just the best. I'm so glad that you've got your own channel now and I hope it goes from strength to strength. It really is the personalities that brings me here. You guys have done it.🎉

[@SupermotoCentral]

This was gold❤ You guys got lucky. First rule of taking a 996 on track. Install a baffled oil pan. These things like to oil starve to death with oem oil pans on track😅

[@jiasd123]

The way Edwin held that drift was inxredible

[@joshbailey9313]

Best channel to come out of car throttle split

[@fnghowdy1603]

[@skyrocketautomotive]

Christ I actually made it on time. Hello chaps!

Crazy to see how well these two are doing while Overdrive has fallen off so heavily. Loving the content lads, my favourite car YT channel!

[@dannsmcshane1233]

Thats condensation in the filler neck totally normal you get a fright the first time you see it

[@mattsmith6514]

As others have said, you need the split pin through the caliper pin to stop it sliding out. Even a bent paperclip will do for a short while!

[@DashCamSheffield]

impressive. as my friend says about me and trains, you have no problem showing you're car nerds. Aircraft aren't my thing, but kudos for including it.

[@rodsdmba1571]

As an English born ASML engineer based in San Diego (for 22 years), the commute from Eindhoven past Hockenheim, Sinsheim etc to Ditzingen (Trumpf laser) and Oberkochen (Zeiss) are seared in memory. Waldlaubersheim Mickey D's perfectly located to refuel. 2011, pegged at 185 in a Dutch registered Golf (sounded like it was about to blow any second) damn near tailgating a Lexus SUV in the fast lane with some vein popping teutonic git in an Audi on my arse w/indicator flashing losing his mind . . . Priceless. England 1 Germany 0. Suck it Fritz!

[@edwardgrafton4663]

Hey well done Edwin and Will for putting that Porsche 996 back on the road again and now it has been too the Nurburgring for a couple off laps and it's just a pity that Ethan and Jack didn't race there Porsche 924 around the Nurburgring.

[@DEADPEDAL]

Truly epic stuff. So glad to see you guys doing your own thing. This channel is top tier.

[@ZachPritchard]

I’m so happy for you guys getting out and doing this stuff, never seen a happier pair of 911 owners. KEEP IT COMING, BOYS 🎉

[@danstimelessclassics5899]

Mayo in the filler tube is common especially in the weather you've just driven through it's condensation... Wipe it out don't wash it in ...

We really have to appreciate those countries that know English mostly for our benefit, and the fact that they are still friendly even though we don’t bother doing the same most of the time.

[@maurizio13]

I feel bad for you that you didn't visit the Technik Museum in Sinsheim. Apart from the Concorde and the other planes (you can even access the inside of them!), there are a lot of great cars from F40 to 300SL Gullwing, classic BMWs, Porsches and God knows what. Maybe next time :)

[@woundedcrow4606]

Hockenheim should be a permanent fixture on the F1 calendar. It produces great racing. Plus, it’s historically relevant

[@NikoMoraKamu]

worst track ever xD the old track was awesome , now it's just a big flat parking track

[@C.I...]

@@NikoMoraKamu Same with Spa - all the good bits are the last remains of the old circuit, with the best bit (masta kink) relegated to road permanently.

[@Antscupra]

Enjoyed this vid so much. The incorporation of all the channels into one video, especially with multiple different adventures rolled into one is great. Hope the milk isn’t too much to worry about, better get Ethan to have a look

[@leokearns1221]

You two are like my 2 nephews. Entertaining and the sheer fun you lads are having is infectious.

[@Idkwhatimdoing54790]

What you guys all do, collectively and also separately with your own channels is probably the most exciting, educational, interesting and engaging content I’ve seen on KZbin in a LONG time!! As someone who knew nothing about cars a few years ago, I now can’t get enough of these videos, and I’m sooo excited to see what else you guys have in-store and the collaborations with the partner channels in the near future! Keep doing what you’re doing lads! We’re a lucky bunch of subscribers aren’t we??!!!

Edwin's face when you pull up at Stuttgart. Like a kid pulling up at lego land. I'd be the same. So cool.

You missed some awesome stuff by not going inside where the concord was on the roof. I spent a whole day between there and the Porsche museum. Also I don't think I'm allowed to rent a car in Germany any more 😇

Oh Wow you guys came close to where i live! The Sinsheim Vehicle Musuem is a really cool place ive been there a few times even been in the concord since you can walk up there
