What Alex needs is a Skoda Superb 3.6 V6 4x4 estate.

[@9wowable]

I love mine, there’s police spec one on eBay for £5,375 that’s identical. edit: I get about 33mpg combined btw.

[@imaner76]

or... hear me out. A C7.5 Audi A6 Avant. In Daytona Grey, SLine, engine TBC. I'd suggest looking at the RS6, or 3.0 TDI. Or 2.0 TDI for that 50 mpg goodness.

[@USMANKYOUSAFZAI]

Shame that Alex is feeling like selling his Gts for an older shittter car primarily because of all the KZbin comments.

[@PGriff]

Alex, I had an F11 535d and now have a G30 530d x-drive, and the G30 is just so much nicer. It’s better put together, the chassis handles loads better while also being comfier. The infotainment is (obviously) a big step up. The newer one is just a much nicer place to spend time. It’s not soulless either, but it doesn’t feel ‘floppy’ like the chassis of the F11. Get the G30 - you won’t regret it

[@masoniain]

Higher or lower is good, but throwing up a pic of the cars, and alternating guesses would make it fair and more relatable. Love the podcast. Xxx

[@qers]

I think they need a higher and lower card, which they hold up facing themselves. Once Alex reveals the answer they turn around the card to show what their answer was. That way they can't play strategically and just have to actually take a good guess.

Psychologically generates more clicks because frustration/shock is both a relatable human emotion and very easy to express in a small thumbnail.

[@pn8902]

Because that gets views. Its so simple to understand

[@carsandcontraband7217]

I think they realised they were losing our attention with all the baby talk and Alex life stories . So, trying the cheesy cheep thumbnail trick . I only watched this one to see if the original service was restored. I was kinda hoping to see the Taylor and Rory show . And Alex then making a family cars on finance and baby accessories show .😂

[@kamilianos]

some feedback to my fav car channel : what are we up to : that section has become too long and too boring, guess the car is extremely not fun, the questions/emails from fans that lead to interesting conversations (such us advice to Danish guy on RHD RX8) are way more interesting.

[@Recessio]

Yeah I feel during the car throttle podcasts they were more strict in timings/sections (or maybe they just cut more in editing) and it worked a lot better

[@eefjuh5533]

"What we're up to" and "guess the car" are the things i enjoy. The car advice too. Maybe split things up might help, but how much different shows would that lead to?

[@Rabid_monk]

That’s to personal taste. Personally I watch the podcast primarily to hear what they’ve been up to, hear sneak peaks of future plans etc before they happen and their day to day escapades. I enjoy 20 questions too I’ve started playing it with my own family in the car

[@legin3753]

i like to hear what there up to

[@RonnieCurrie-ze1tr]

I totally agree,podcasts of any kind are dreary drawn out boring talk. The football ones in my country are just dire.

Late to the party, but motorway was excellent. Sold my S3 on there and got 2 grand more than I was expecting. Definitely worth listing there. Everything was quick and easy.

[@midlifecarsis6420]

Anyone who thinks an E60 M5 is boring can't have driven one. They're a considerably more fun drive than a C63 and surprisingly chuckable. And i say that as an Elise and Westfield owner! That engine is incredible too.

A friend of mine had an e60 m5 with a valves exhaust system. I was behind him on the way to Castle Combe from South Wales and as we went through the tunnels in Newport he opened the valves.

I'm tempting to stash it in a lockup for 4 years and only service it (which is in the deal), and finding a classic Mazda 323 2.0v6 ZXi to drive as a daily.
