Alex has defo been splashing the cash and treating the boys to some good food, everyone's face seems a lot rounder than they did 12 months ago 😂

Hi guys my name is micky I am living in Spain I love to watch all your channels after work I run a small bar mickys Inn vista Bella golf like yourselves I work a lot of hour . 12pm to 1am most days you guy help me unwind and and forget the stress and pressure i am under sometimes from the stress of it all so I would just like to say a big thank you all . I was in Crawley most of my life and and I love hearing about all stories. Omg I lol and I would just say if you ever do a road trip to Spain the 1st round is on me if by some chance you do. Many many thanks keep up the good work . And again thank you it can be very lonely out here sometimes as I have been to the UK for almost 6 years but you guys make remember the crap me and my got up to . Chees guys .

[@ellaharrrecoverycarsales1406]

Toms such a realist , even knowing you paid £800 will gladly give you £7000 , we all know it’s worth it , but some people think a £1000 is enough …. Till shoes on other foot , Tom knows even at £7000 and spending a £1000 still worth £12000/14000 all day on road , everybody’s happy ! To many jealous people out there😮

Toms in the trade and has been for a long long time, he knows what Taylor paid and he knows what its worth. Taylor made a decent chunk on it and Tom will with a little work would make more both are happy.

[@destructionnl8165]

@@KarlBrown-sd7ek Because Alex is doing very little to hide the fact that he's looking for a bigger unit because he's employed 2 more people. Another fact is that CarThrottle have indeed made Jack and Ethan abandon ship (they even have 2 new presenters there).

[@gijscornelissendebeer7361]

Mydudes, the family wagon question is a no brainer: volvo v70 all the way. Especially with 4 kids, you can get it as a 7 seater, bulletproof, easy to work on (if you get one before the ford saga), and plenty to choose from with that price range. Only thing is mileage, but if you get one that is well looked after, the mileage doesn't matter.

[@MrDesmonick]

Hey Andrew! All the best with everything mate 😁👍

[@seshelbow336]

Just an idea lads. And I may be missing something here, having never been involved in broadcasting in any way……But are there not small clip on microphones? With perfect sound quality? That I imagine are fairly cheap to buy? That would mean you wouldn’t all have to hold what look pretty huge and I imagine fairly weighty massive microphones in front of your faces? It just seems like hard work for no reason. Please give me a reason to put my mind to rest. Other than that. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[@BkSMedia]

Lav mics whilst they are good for certain scenarios they do not possess the same audio quality as the SM7B's they are holding. There is a stark contrast in frequency response of a lav mic vs a condenser mic like the SM7B's.

[@seshelbow336]

@@BkSMedia I mean people on TV seem to manage without a huge hand held mic. Is it something a normal person would notice?

Taylor you guys talk up X5's loads, If you ignore all M series and high end models, is there a particular affordable and reliable version to look out for? For example reliable motor and trim level that's less prone to gremlins etc? So I suppose a X5 for the people who love their size but are not concerned about performance over practicality.
