Thanks for having me on again! Funnily enough, we’re in the U.S. right now and Ben is with us too! Outside sits a Tesla CyberTruck were road tripping, I shot you not 😂
Touch “Formica” it keeps building as an og subscriber ( sub number 1997 of auto Alex lol) you have to be of a certain age/worldly wise to even know what Formica is though I’m in great shape and have zero rigamortice 😂
Huge amount of respect to Alex and the entire team. Not only for having the balls to quit a secure job to follow a passion (and massively pulling it off), but for understanding what his viewers want to see, and delivering quality content across all of the AA channels. The success is deserved.
I enjoy the videos but all feels a little forced. The limo one last week was an almost identical copy of the car wow one a few months earlier. I get certain things are for views but its too exaggerated at times. I drive a motorhome of similar length and don’t struggle getting round regular corners.
All 3 main channels are completely different but also completely brilliant. Well done to everyone involved and thank you for filling the gap now TG and GT are finished
114 million views across all the channels under the autoalex umbrella this guy is great I love all the content pumped out by all the channels I’ll keep watching till my eyes fall out what a great guy Alex is and his team props to them all keep up the good work guys ❤️
We had a brilliant day at Shedfest 2024. Drove down from Newcastle that morning, got to Mallory Park just before opening time and got in without an issue. Not your fault Alex, shit happens. Can't wait for next year. Can you not make it as Teeside Autodrome or Elvington, York. Selfish I know, but it's closer to home! Haha! Keep up the good work guys!
Me and my brother came over from Ireland and were in the queue for Shedfest for about 3 hours. Worth it though. We eventually got in and had a great time...seen everything we wanted to see. Great show. My best to Alex and all the crew. Respect to Ben too. Love the podcast/content!
I met Alex and Gareth at Caffeine and Machine a couple of months ago and what a couple of great guys they are, they both took the time to chat and have a picture with us. I can honestly say that I love Alex and the whole crew and everything they do, even "My Wife" enjoys all of their antics too. Great podcast as always Ben, keep up the good work all of you.
I think alex has done a one of a kind thing, I don't think we'll get someone like alex or the crew on the platform again. To take what you have and to expand it and to also pull of something like all the gear, it's unique for sure. you really only have one life, if you find something you love...crack on with it.
Aa2 and tdc have been some of the best car content ive watched in a long time dont get it wromg i love auto alex but theres somthing about taylor and the tdc guys that i absolutely love
I feel like all he needed was an ice breaker business wise and understandably so, it is really scary, but once he got that now he is much more confident to invest more and more. Honestly it's great to see people who find the strength to conquer their fears❤
i first started watching tdc before i found out about alex haha, but i love both channels a lot and you guys teach me a lot about cars. All while keeping it fun to watch
Lol Alex at baby algorithm, funnily enough I caught up with and binged your content when my son was born last year, 3am back patting in a dark room with tv on you need some great content to watch! You are bang on about investment and freedom to make good viewing. I’m like you, generally drive a shitbox even into my 40s, had new cars and not overly fussed. Currently have a Phaeton V8 petrol, mk2 golf with a VR6 in it and a straight piped mk2 TT. TT makes an astonishingly good means to get my boy to sleep… think it is the constant drone…
This is first awareness I even had that TDC was an autoalex channel. Always just assumed it was mates sharing a unit to share the burden. That in itself shows hes done a great job letting it stand on its own 👍🏻
alex leaving carthrottle is the best thing he could have done. He's proven he can entertain and has good ideas, he's got the reach now after proving it. He's best without limits or red tape, and it's showing because the content continued from day1 of going 'solo' his model of being nice wouldn't work for a large business, but as a small business, it's perfect and looks after all of his folks.
The reason people in their fifties don't want to know about you tube is they don't understand the format. And I'm sure you tube will burn itself out and I've unsubscribed a few things lately because some are purile or badly made Well done for what you're achieving
Honestly, the @AutoAlex multiverse is the fresh of breath air we all needed in the automative media. They are just a random bunch of guys (most of whom came together a while back, but they all came from random backgrounds nonetheless) who just love cars, and they share that passion together, and showing us all that you can enjoy a car even if it is a shit box (for lack of a better terminology). I used to love my '98 Polo, you can have fun in any car you want to have fun in. @MightyCarMods is the first automotive YT channel I followed as a teen, and I grew up with it, I still follow it. AutoAlex brings about the same aura - just normal dudes having fun with what they love doing. A shoutout to @MatArmstrong as well. Personally, these 3 channels are the holy trinity of automotive UA-cam. I wonder if any of these guys realise how much they help their viewers in different ways!
When advertising Carly don’t forget to mention that it’s not a one rime purchase but a subscription service. And also it doesn’t work with every vehicle and can sometimes completely brick the vehicle that will require recovery to dealership and about 5h labour rate to code all control modules back to the vehicle.
FYI on the 10 month pregnancy explanation, as women get told that it’s 40weeks pregnancy and told it’s 9 months, but obvs 40 weeks works out more than 9 months 😂😂😂
Think Carly is great, but it concerns me that it could encourage people to just keep blindly resetting. Garages keep doing it too. My dad had a 2004 Toyota RAV 4 that he had an accident in - a car hit the right front wheel, heavily damaging the suspension and bodywork. My dad had it fully repaired at local repairer that his insurers sent it to. All good - ish. The engine management light kept coming on, along with the warning lights saying the abs and traction control weren’t working. His Toyota dealer kept saying it was just environmental control blah blah, kept resetting it, blah blah. I was adamant they were totally wrong and he should take it to different dealer. He took it to an independent dealer for its major service and mentioned the problem. The garage rang him later in the day to ask him if the car had been in an accident. When he asked why, they explained he’d looked at brake discs and pads, noticed some trim that had been badly fitted. They then put two and two together, and replaced the abs sensor on the front right. Which was bad,y cracked in two places. And tripping the system out meaning no abs and no traction or stability control.
Instead of the Nurburgring, you might try and do the same kind of videos with the amazing twisty racetracks you've got in England: Oulton, Cadwell, Anglesey... B roll footage from the track and the surroundings, showing the whole place like others already do with the Ring
@sparkys_garage not necessarily, I suppose they could sign a commercial filming contract during a track day, without the need to book an entire session for themselves. Some tracks and organizers allow walkaround shooting when there are no sessions running
I think Top Gear lost a lot of viewers because they moved from what the average man could purchase to what the average man can only dream off. And at the same time they didn't give a s*** and that was the reason why I stopped another stopped watching Top Gear
hate auto alex stopped watching ages ago now am stop watching tdc and all the gear also alex doesn't deserve his views his ideas are just buy another car buy another car buy another car never does anything with them never does anything with the community watching thanks for heads up on there other channels
He did better in this one than when he was interviewing Taylor but he needs to understand the number one successful podcast rule: Shut the fuck up and let the guest speak.

@@AutoalexCars what a situation 😂
SPOILERS
Most American typo ever😂😂
Huge amount of respect to Alex and the entire team. Not only for having the balls to quit a secure job to follow a passion (and massively pulling it off), but for understanding what his viewers want to see, and delivering quality content across all of the AA channels. The success is deserved.
Alex's channels are thriving. Massive respect to all of them
Anything auto Alex is top quality , every week I look forward to every little bit of content even the stuff from the multiverse
Me too
TDC is the GOAT of the AA multiverse.
i do like abit of Cleetus too.
I enjoy the videos but all feels a little forced. The limo one last week was an almost identical copy of the car wow one a few months earlier. I get certain things are for views but its too exaggerated at times. I drive a motorhome of similar length and don’t struggle getting round regular corners.

The AA empire is the best thing to happen to car UA-cam. TDC especially are smashing content at the moment!
The idea of an AutoAlex pub sounds awesome, really hope that dream becomes a reality for you ✌️
Hands down the best bit watching auto Alex is it’s just lads being lads . Cars , shit cars , banter and the occasional tinnie

Great podcast as always Ben, keep up the good work all of you.
The AA channel all took us by surprise and overtime it flurished.
Then Jack, Ethan etc joined it just screamed more and more "Top Gear vibes"
jack and ethan is like james and hammond doing the public transport sections of races but no clarkson
I think alex has done a one of a kind thing, I don't think we'll get someone like alex or the crew on the platform again.

It's crazy to realise that the AutoAlex channel isn't even 3 years old yet but it's become quite the business already.
I feel like all he needed was an ice breaker business wise and understandably so, it is really scary, but once he got that now he is much more confident to invest more and more. Honestly it's great to see people who find the strength to conquer their fears❤

Alot of background noise on this episode - I guess the door was open on the van?
EDIT: - It was the aircon :D
Rich little Ben and his supercars, bmws and comparable price cars are the cars 90% of your audience drive or strive to drive.,
Taylor, on a moped, I would watch that hope to see it soon enough
This is first awareness I even had that TDC was an autoalex channel. Always just assumed it was mates sharing a unit to share the burden.

Fantastic well done
respect to alex and thanks for making us laugh for many years,
Autoalex version of caffeine and machine would be awesome!
Has Alex ever thought about hosting the next Shedfest at Castle Combe Circuit?.

What he needs is a Candy‘Up Sponsorship!
Alex you rock! 🙏

28:08 for Shed Fest discussion
Can’t wait for the pub-cast 😂
Really enjoyed this one, thanks fellas
Glad you enjoyed it
I do quite like this channel, but why do these people say I’m a creative person you just interviewed people, that’s not creative
Smart guy that alex. Working for a boss, and then he left and made a new channel and immediatly got many followers. Because of his known face
Dont buy a pub. Money pit.
Yea worst business ever is bars and clubs
Confirmed.
Instead of the Nurburgring, you might try and do the same kind of videos with the amazing twisty racetracks you've got in England: Oulton, Cadwell, Anglesey... B roll footage from the track and the surroundings, showing the whole place like others already do with the Ring
Because that would mean renting out the track. Vs a public day at the ring.
@sparkys_garage not necessarily, I suppose they could sign a commercial filming contract during a track day, without the need to book an entire session for themselves. Some tracks and organizers allow walkaround shooting when there are no sessions running
TDC on top
Let’s go!!!!!
Intro spoils everything :/
u guys need maxwell millz,he would fit in so well with you guys ,
I think Top Gear lost a lot of viewers because they moved from what the average man could purchase to what the average man can only dream off. And at the same time they didn't give a s*** and that was the reason why I stopped another stopped watching Top Gear
Rory been missing lately though
Sorry Alex, you can’t see the Great Wall from space. Chinese cosmonauts unfortunately proved that.
Spring Chicken Alex... You just feel old because you're married with a kid, and are working with newborn foetuses like Edwin and Ethan...
MOT the Ferrari and Autotest it, speeds will be low so would be safe and who Autotest Ferrari?
UA-cam dont pay enough.
It wont with 4 subscribers!
hate auto alex stopped watching ages ago now am stop watching tdc and all the gear also alex doesn't deserve his views his ideas are just buy another car buy another car buy another car never does anything with them never does anything with the community watching thanks for heads up on there other channels
Alex I’ll buy the Ferrari
init mad how a year has passed and your podcast is still shite
thanks for being a returning viewer ❤️
Worse bit of the podcast is the host
Call a whambulance! 😢😂
His YT content is not really my cup of tea, but I quite like him as a podcaster.
I'd shag him tho 😂
He did better in this one than when he was interviewing Taylor but he needs to understand the number one successful podcast rule:
Shut the fuck up and let the guest speak.
First 🎉
@autoalex is my Favourite channel the 3 of them are such a good team
Does Carthrottle still exist?
Yes, they are trying to go back to the old ways with 2 new presenters. It's just not the same though.
