AI prompt: "our golf estate looks like the time team just unearthed it from an ancient tomb, our mate sprayed "honk if your horny" on it's rear door, and half our clutch disintegrated somewhere in the Cotswolds. Considering that Oxford has drained our bank accounts, what can we do to cheaply fix the golf ready for a car meet?"

[@mattcard2]

You guys should do a series where you buy a van to convert into a camper, jack can fix it mechanically and ethan can do the woodwork for the conversion, then do a big multi-part roadtrip

[@cashoui]

Should've taken Betty from Alex and left the golf there🤪

[@triggerking135]

Ah, yes!

[@kriss_b]

This !

[@Hendlton]

But make it the cheapest van on the market that still has an MOT. Of course, that actually might cost them more than starting with a good van, but it'd still be fun.

[@danielseelye6005]

No it doesn't. It's worth more parted than restored. Let Alex have fun with it and drive it, not trailer it or baby it. Edit: I'm referring to the 360, not the Golf.

WTF no it's not 😂 The Ferrari has almost all the parts, the engine runs and the bodywork is fine. Plus you could strip it for parts. The Golf is so bad you could barely sell anything off of it.

I love to see more of this car. It has most of the standard Golf mk3 issues like the saggy headliner, evaporated blower foam and rust! Rust is a very mk3 thing. I love driving my own Mk3 Variant (wagon) and took it on a vacation to Sweden last year (from the Netherlands). The thing has been in the family ever since it was 4 months old and is still going strong (with some help/semi restorations)

[@drunkenhobo8020]

I love how these guys have really moved up in the world since leaving Car Throttle. No more ropey old Mk2 Golfs for them - they're now touring around in a ropey old Mk3 Golf. I truly believe one day they can work up to a ropey old Mk4. Maybe even the Cabriolet.

[@SpaceMissile]

the cabriolet would really offer some more head room for when they inevitably have to sleep in it.

[@flitsertheo]

But then they need to find an MK1 cabriolet .

[@Bauwowwow1]

Genuinely funny episode. An ep where you fix some of the problems like the Golf barn find would be gold - that car deserves some sweet sweet love

[@HazewinDog]

@@Gobbbbb looks like you're onto something. At least one site states that a penalty notice costs £50-70, with 50% off if you pay it somewhat promptly. So that's 'only' £25-35. Might be worth risking it, depending on the cost at the specific place you park at lol

[@flitsertheo]

@@Gobbbbb Don't know about the UK but in Belgium the fines for driving into a LEZ zone with an unauthorized vehicle can run up to about 300£. So the trick is to register the car as an "oldtimer" which is exempted from LEZ regulations.

I'm finding your videos really refreshing. You have a theme for each one and you stick to it without resorting to contrived (Alex) crap. You're both genuinely funny, normal blokes having a laugh - it's really compelling. You sprinkle personal details in that reinforce the normality of it. The volcano video in Iceland was extraordinarily good and then you release this one. It's intelligent film making and I love it.

[@mattparkin7224]

Can't we sing praise without being dicks?

[@GarryMcGovern]

Really enjoying the videos lads - such a nice difference. They're kinda 'non-car' videos in the normal context, but they are videos from 'car lads' just like the rest of us (well, apart from you Ethan! 🤣), and as we know you so well now, it just kind of works. The little cameos with the rest of the Auto Alex crew, just ties it all in together - really nice work: Keep it up!

"I hope you enjoyed this video" well, yes i did! After you guys left TitanicThrottle and started this channel at first i wasn't sure what to think of it but this kind of videos are quite good. Keep this up and you guys might even become King of the Shitboxes. As for the car, i've owned a mk3 Golf estate. It was a 1.9TDI and for a daily drive it was a very good car. Very reliable and very economical, like the car somewhat refused to use any diesel. It's been 15 years and when i sold my golf it had done 450.000KM (about 279.000 miles) but there's been many moments where i thought to myself that i never should've sold it.

I get how this works for a video because mistakes or insufficiencies in prompting AI would make for good content. However, not asking it to condition the choice domain based on external factors unknown to it is completely on you. Actually used chatgpt to plan a 4 day Paris city break and it was excellent. Asked it to organize my days based on where I was staying, what public transportation I would be taking, make a list of points of interest based on what I wanted to see, add to it with things I might have missed and group them based on their proximity to each other, give me a google maps link for each of them so I could follow the itinerary, propose places to eat nearby and look online for their schedule (paid version).
