What's happened to the podcast, are you just abandoning it? Its been 2 weeks now

[@ilfordino-fordfiestatutori8725]

Those wheels are unspeakably beautiful on the 164

[@chrishenry571]

Those wheels are lewd!

[@Awaywego24]

So if you speak about them do they become unbeautiful 😂

[@danielduke5059]

I agree they look the nuts, especially once they sort the suspension out they are perfect!

[@freggs4906]

Shoutout to the previous owner's impeccable taste.

[@robscene66]

What are they called?

[@actuallydove0812]

God the Alfa looks amazing on coilovers. Love the white on white.

[@Zlurc]

Stop hiding Chris in the merch-dungeon, he needs to be on camera mooarrr! What a gem!

[@OneOfThePauls]

Seconded - his delivery is perfect

[@heyhey3887]

Never understood why he gave up quite a lucrative career to pack customer orders 😂

[@kurauk]

Agreed, also the pairing with Taylor was great.

[@olliec94]

He literally talks bs and makes up stuff. Should listen to the stuff he’s been caught out on in the podcasts

[@NooZzleZ]

@@heyhey3887 guessing he's made enough to retire and this is just for fun lol

[@kris856]

7:11 TDC guys just got themselves some induction bolt removing fryer..go over there and use it !

[@danstewart8218]

This! and Also get a MAPP gas torch, there twice/three times hotter than butane much better/quicker/efficient.

[@peterbradburn9115]

Was thinking exactly that 😂

[@pinetree7296]

Taylor and the TDC crew are the kind of friends you'd want they genuinely seem like nice and fun guys to be around and they wont hesitate to help a friend out in need guiding them whilst tinkering with cars and just having a good time.

[@MaliciousAlfa]

Absolutely love the influx of Alfa Romeo content on the channel. Hope to see lots more in the future.

[@ivanjovanovic362]

FINALLY SOME LOVE FOR THE ALFA

[@deano8456]

Was just about to get an early night ffs 🤣

[@timallsopp8656]

Same here! Can’t miss this one. The Alfa looks cool

[@destructionnl8165]

No you're not! And i'm not either.

[@triggerking135]

"that's me driving... And that's me flying through the air" 😂 More Chris please!

[@geoffersmaher]

This is what should be on the main channel

[@MatthewJBD]

What difference does it make? I'll watch it either way

[@ChatterboxFM]

No, this is better. V2 is for wrenching and that’s exactly why I go out of my way to watch it! It’s more organized.

[@lptomtom]

I don't really watch the main channel anymore, V2's much better nowadays

[@pintsandcars]

The main channel seems a little lost...

[@Angus_____]

Who watches the 2 hour pod casts ? Far too much free time on your hands.

[@Chawkaa]

that 164 is just the BUISNESS always was one of the best ( most intresting) cars of the channel imo

[@paulmcmillan5941]

That Alfa is a special. Someone who makes parts has to see this and provide more for it!

[@Jiiimmie]

I swear Taylor seems to be such a lovely and humble guy that you reeeeally want as a friend!

[@towerdave4836]

Had one of these as a company car. At the time I thought it was both sports car and limo and I loved it. Still one of the best vehicles I’ve ever had in nearly 60 years of car ownership.

[@KimmyGuardado]

I love the tempo of these videos. Nice and calm.

[@nekite1]

The Busso engine is a legend and the sound it produces is heaven to any petrolhead.

[@EHoughtonProductions]

This is one of my favourite cars to have ever featured in the AA multiverse - great to see it getting some love

[@scotty6346]

That Alfa is the dogs nuts and so rust free, Do not let rust start to take hold, Rustproof the crap out of it Chris, Lanoguard is a good annual rustproof treatment and it's quick and easy to apply 👍

[@slacko1971]

I've had 3 of those 164's they really don't rot and are very well protected from factory.

[@ModifiedMotors4U]

I know you won’t see this but I HIGHLY recommend a induction heater, they are so much easier ! We use draper one and we never get a welder or blowtorch out anymore for stuck or snapped bolts/nuts

[@ChatterboxFM]

It’s funny you say that, because the TDC guys JUST bought one and showed it off!

[@ianmills1120]

5:31 Honestly thought “unplugging the adaptive suspension” was a joke. 😮 Ahead of its time.

[@Spookyshoes]

This Alfa makes my soul happy, it looks the business, it sounds the business. All round what a gem of an automobile.

[@norko94]

I really like Chris on camera ! I would like to see him more on the V2 and main channel. The dry and awkward humour is perfect

[@MarcMunoz1]

This videos are making me feel so nostalgic for my old 164.

[@luntoinside]

What a beautiful Alfa that is. You've got yourself a gem, Chris.

[@MattGraal-w9j]

Alfred's stance on the new suspension setup looks so much better

[@anvil9263]

Probably the nicest looking car on the channel. Im with Chris

[@jsmedia1648]

Taylor always seems like such a nice genuine person, props to him for helping with the install and look at Chris’s face when you both egg him on at the end and the valves are open. Priceless

[@beany1987]

Giving off DTM lates 90s vibes with those wheels and how much is has been lowered!!

[@JustTom_57]

5:38 Actual fucking jumpscare sound holy FUCK

[@beanmw96]

no its not?

[@MrBrunisio]

I fucking jumped too, wtf

[@blcollier]

Holy balls please never use that music again, jesus

[@magor137]

Yes OMG I am home alone at night! Dont do this to me

[@cyckmeister]

i genuinely just froze hearing that

[@gpaje]

Renaming is fine, just like on a boat, you do an official renaming ceremony, no bad luck. Boats you use champagne, but for old Alfa's I think just Diet Coke.

[@BlackLines]

Two-tone cars look the business nowadays. Love it.

[@Skett]

I'm not an alfa guy but that thing is cool. Good on Chris for snatching that up

[@wastemane9210]

One of my favorite cars featured on the channel! Thank you for more Alfred content!!!!

[@cwj138]

2:12 does it not leak oil because there is no oil in it like that time Alex started it up and gave it a wee rev with no oil in it?

[@elliotttree1362]

8:26 Taylor, don't forget to paint your chrome sockets impact black 👌

[@hrob123]

This content is so much better than what’s been on the main channel recently. Main channel has no direction anymore.

[@aldozilly3585]

10:32 Glad to see Taylor still working on his R2D2 impression.

[@ashleyhamman]

I tend to not be into Alfas, but Alfred has consistently been one of my channel favorites. It just looks and sounds like what I imagine a car of it's time should.

[@SovietCaptain03]

More Alfa Romeos pleaseeeee😍😍😍😍

[@anythingrandomlytaped]

Don't tell the TDC guys about that burned X5 from the sponsor segment, they might just end up buying it 🤣

[@norealplan163]

Brilliant v2 content 😊 Also excited to see first channels adventures next year 👍👍

[@seamuscarroll2779]

I am SO jealous of Chris right now. This is by far the nicest dar on the channel!

[@AutoAlexShop]

Come to a show and we will go out in it

I worked on 164 2.0 Twin Spark and the QV V6 AWD in my dad's shop, And they are great cars, thise model don't rust the "Alfa way" Looking forward to see it on the Ring🎉

Any video with Chris brings endless light and joy to my day

[@ChrisBWelch]

This was a cracking video! Absolutely chuffed to bits for Chris, what a car!!

[@the6cow6god6]

5:25 BEST TEESHIRT EVER!!!!!!!!

[@peterbradburn9115]

Always love Taylor doing a bit of spannering. Actually, clearly, just always love Taylor. Not a fan of massive lowering, but that looks absolutely spot on 👍

[@grrfy]

Thanks for spending some time on this beautiful car.Sounds better than any 6 cylinder BMW, Busso is the Don.

[@dannywhite132]

Honestly really like chris on camera. He's a nice difference in personality. Kinda how ethan was at carthrottle, a sensible guy in amongst a load of lads (no offence intended)

[@jamesmacd]

Ethans lack of car knowledge was hilarious

[@robertadamski]

Great video, lower long shock bolt seizing is always a problem on the old Alfas, same story on 156, 147 and GTs, plenty of heat is the only solution and then a good anti-seize when putting it all together, good to see some Alfa content on the channel. Cheers!

[@alexanderwingeskog758]

Not an Alfa fan, but man this car looks great now and the sound is amazing! It's a keeper for sure!

[@Steve-K.G.]

It's 5:20am here in the UK and I haven't slept since yesterday morning. Maybe I shouldn't be watching stuff that makes me wanna go out and blast my motor around the lanes near me, but I might just have to 😁😁 I can sleep once I've shuffled off this mortal coil 😅 Taylor and Chris work well together. More please 😊😊

[@1061shrink1061]

The fact that Taylor does all this hefty mechanical work, while wearing his Omega Seamaster gives me the fear! I took mine on a track day, and when getting under the car to check an under tray, managed to scratch the buggery out of the case on the tarmac! I'll never wear that watch around mechanics / track time again! Thats what a G shock is for :)

[@Petrolheadrwd]

Love an old alfa. This is my favourite car of the autoAlex multiverse

[@corvaxincork]

Love that car and so glad I got to see it at Shedfest! Hope to see it at the next one too! Respect to the channel(s)

[@ch3no2uk99]

Wow... What a sound... Alfred look and sounds amazing. Love a long pull on older ars as well, so much better than short DSG farty blips.

[@MistaCutUp]

Coilover and wheels set up is so on point!!

[@J8bof]

At this moment in time Taylor is carrying auto alex and auto alex is just a domain

[@jaysmartin]

I am sure that it's not only myself and Edwin looking at the barrels of those wheels thinking .. you could have definitely given them a clean! Great work lads, looks great 😍 and don't worry about the rubbing .. just treat it as a 2 seater

[@acefoxuk]

That made such an improvement, the stance is 🔥😎

[@benpenagonzales6014]

That Alfa does look brilliant and still modern and love the wheels

[@karlj1717]

I love that car such a great piece of design and the wheels make it look all the more better.

[@davejolaurencharlie]

Taylor should have his own TV Show he's such a natural

[@nahidrahman]

1:18 must be something to do with no junk in the trunk and that Busso in the front…

[@jrbuch]

Bought my 164 for $750 back in the day. Admittedly, it was auto though. Took it on a cheap car challenge, had some fun and sold it for $650. And it never left me stranded. Characterful cars!

[@etiennereijnders8848]

That;s by far the most elegant car on your entire show!

[@TheWynne71]

Without doubt the coolest car in the AA collection.

[@CannekeTheFeeder]

Taylor asking for that hug was like Diddy asking for something xD

[@samward417]

Other youtubers "eh the light is slightly off maybe we should reshoot". Alex "its pitch black we have one spot light, lets shoot an advert in one take"

When he booted it, I couldn't help but smile what a lovely sound 😁

Nice rims! it matches the car super well. Lovely car and lovely video too

Didn’t tdc guys have an implement on their last vid for freeing up bolts without a blow torch?

[@rockyroad1780]

That car is absolutely stunning, wow!

[@jonathanstaley9522]

I've owned 2 x 2.0 Twin Sparks and 1 x 3.0 164's (a long time ago). Watching this brought back a lot of memories and made me slightly envious after hearing it! Great video Thanks! :-)

[@MartinPratt-q2s]

I’m noticing a lot of negative comments towards Alex. Don’t get me wrong I love Taylor, but I think it’s pretty low to verbally abuse someone that has given us a fair amount of FREE entertainment. Thank you Alex for your work👌🏼💪🏻💪🏻

[@18Bogeysgolfer]

(An Australian) man, the lengths you have to go to get a bolt off in the UK is insane!

[@TheRyanpullen]

Are there still other cars around from earlier nurburgring episodes? Maybe its a cool idea to modify these and see how much time there can be gained within a set budget?

[@jennoo2898]

Why is v2 getting all the good content lately? This and the American trip is all main channel content for sure

[@KevinJones-bt7ib]

I quite like the look of the Alfa Romeo 👍

Alfredo is a much better name. Will be Alfredo to me from this day on
