Fair play to Alex and Rory (as in the AutoAlex channel) for NOT just taking the profit out of the channel and milking it. We now get 3 UK based, car channels with the people we've spent years enjoying watching 💪

[@donikebab86]

I have to give credit to Taylor. While you're all very good on screen, he's definitely helped grow the channel and if you'd have taken someone else instead of him, I don't think it would have kicked in as much

[@gbolton200]

Taylor and the chemistry with Alex and Rory is what really makes the channel. Even better than the old trio on CT.

[@Cloverleaf7642]

I give credit to Alex for recognising Taylor’s potential.

I think you should get a van and convert it in a podcast unit with facing seats, cool project for all of us to watch and will give some authenticity to V2 podcast! Congrats becoming a dad!🎉 Great seeing everyone back together! Cheers 🍻

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

They had a podcast van at Carthrottle, that was barely used for podcasts. Last we heard of it was that it was parked outside of Mike Brewer's unit, but that was years ago.

[@jtelliso]

BOYS! Fan fckn tastic to see everyone back together. Nothing but love and the best to you all.

[@potterendergaming5335]

BOYS! Cars... James May and Jezza boliva special popped into my head.

[@HarrySwettenham26]

It's great to hear that Alex's success with Auto Alex has created an investment into two further channels, offering subscribers three quality videos a week across the three channels. Additionally, it's great to have Alex, Rory and Taylor working with Jack & Ethan, and Will & Edwin. The seven of you get on so well, and unfortunately, seven is too many for one channel but splitting into three was definitely the right move. All of you continue the great work on each of the channels, and we all look forward to the fun filled and action packed joint ventures.

[@michaelj63]

I really like Jack, was disappointed Alex didn't poach him from the start, glad to see them all together. Good luck to the three channels!

[@Hybris51129]

So is every UK based car channel just experiencing one massive collapse and restructuring at the same time?

[@HA05GER]

I think car throttle ended up with too many cooks in the kitchen. By the sounds of it cut funding on video likely because too many people at the top forgetting that the videos were what made them.

[@ScotSteam47]

What other ones are "restructuring"?

[@charliejoel3272]

It's crazy how we used to joke on old CT videos that the boys were getting towards Top Gear levels of compelling stories and production. Now it's a very similar story of going alone and getting way bigger.

[@michaelgilmore8821]

Ethans favorite memory, the cheap car challenges, I hope they do more of them, some of the best videos I've seen by these guys NC500 trip

[@mattmopar440]

I'm glad to see you guys not get burned out you left early and kept your hobby alive

[@StevenHill872]

I know the channel Epic Car Show has Ethans focus and are taking it to Monaco and some other trips. Great to see the band back together. Forget carthrottle glory days. With more freedom from Alex to do whatever eveyone wants wheneve they want. This will be amazing! Congrats

[@FredMitchell95]

EXACTLY THIS, Alex was saying car throttle had a choke hold on everything the guys wanted to do. It had to go through so many people and by that time the car or event was sold or gone. This will be fantastic and already the TDC channel is showing everyone together

[@Tmjpwns]

As a father to a daughter, get the BeSafe Stretch carseat. Fits all of your sh*tboxes & keeps the baby safe in any car. The isofix nonsense isn't worth the hassle after the first year.

[@autobootpiloot]

Exactly. Also, isofix is not better when in a crash than just a seat in seatbelts. The safety improvement is the fact it’s harder to make mistakes when mounting the seat.

[@jonathanedwards8913]

@@autobootpilootthat’s just not true. The isofix stops the seat moving in a uncontrolled manner. It is MUCH safer

[@autobootpiloot]

@@jonathanedwards8913 actually no. A proper designed seat in a seatbelt is just as safe. In fact, when manufacturers still invested money into seatbelt only child seats it was pretty common for those seats to beat isofix only seats in tests. Seatbelts work very very well and isofix doesn’t “fix” seats. They still move a lot in a crash. Now, manufacturers still invest in isofix seats and not in belt only seats so isofix seats are safer. But that’s not because of isofix but because of lack of innovation in belt only seats.

[@dannb0dge]

​@@jonathanedwards8913 Isofix is for convenience. There is no proof that it is safer. Some of the safest car seats (as tested and proven in sweden where they legislate and test them), are seatbelt fastened ones (eg Axkid)

[@superhandsgaming9091]

Car throttle has died looking from jacks last video 279k views it's dropped every month.. 3m subscribers and only 20k views now

[@chrisb9360]

I’d love to see Ethan & Jack doing something like the Jet Lag: The Game channel.

[@keirlumsden]

Which is one of the finest things on KZbin

[@porkimond]

So good to see you all together, the banter and all!

[@vikasgnan4022]

Congratulations to all the Dads and dads to be in the video.. it’s been absolutely incredible and inspiring to watch you guys grow together since the car throttle days as goofy young boys to starting your own companies and families.. Many things changed but you guys never gave up on each other and always had each other’s backs which is definitely something everyone should learn to do. Keep doing what you do best and will forever be a Fan ❤

[@fuckthis81]

[@54mgtf22]

Alex and Rory. You guys are the best mates a man could ever have. Great job. 👍 Not only setting up new channels for your mates but giving them part ownership and autonomy. Awesome. New respect for you both.

[@Phuc_Yhou]

Thanks, wasn't a fan of this trio so saved a lot of wasted time 👍

[@ifyouarefeelingsinister]

You’re basically a saint

[@MitchZero9]

💯 just saved a bunch of time. Nothing against Ethan or Jack, but it was Alex that got me to CT. When Alex went solo, was bloody ecstatic! For me, Alex and crew is right up there with Cleetus. Can't help but notice that between CT and Hoonigan, everyone is leaving because that want to broaden their horizons. It's perfectly respectable reasons but borderline boring as it's all convenient timing. Just be honest FFS. Everyone has fucked off from CT as clearly it's run by a committee. Everyone is leaving Hoonigan because Ken is dead.

[@SpaceMissile]

@@MitchZero9 lol I'm the opposite; I stumbled upon CT right after Alex left, so I am more partial to Jack and Ethan. 😅

[@jonasrasmussen8067]

@@MitchZero9 some of the best content in my opinion was made after alex left and Edwin joined the crew. The GTI and Porsche series are some of my favorites ever!

[@ifyouarefeelingsinister]
