Be careful driving with these walkie-talkies, it's just as illegal as using your phone
Oh deer 4:42 another car vertical advert 😂🦌
Do an raly build wite the peugeot 208 i like that car
@@adamcox374it’s actually not against the law to use two way radio equipment while driving as long as it’s not being used in a way that is proven to be a distraction that could lead to careless or dangerous driving.
That’s why use Amateur and CB radio equipment is allowed while driving.
Taylor definitely won the handbrake test. Rory’s and Alex’s was bloody awful
#justicefortaylor
but that doesn't add suspense to the ending..
Would have been nice if they recorded them!
Not he didn't... he touched the cone... maybe if the guys didn't move the cones he would aced the second try, but we'll never know
@@p.informatico1320 they all touched the cones 😆
I’ve mentioned this before but hopefully persistence pays off, please hire a producer. You need someone who isn’t presenting or filming to be planning these videos more thoroughly; someone who is there with a shot list, a rough plan and an idea of what’s coming up next. There are so many missed opportunities in this, including drone shots of some of the challenges, better timed exterior shots of the handbrake turns, voiceovers that could have replaced minutes of waffle, a physical scoreboard, etc. In fact, this whole off road segment could have been exactly that, a 10 minute segment in a 30 minute video. The other segments could be their enjoyment on a b-road in Wales, how much shit you can cram in them, or how many underaged girls the corsa can attract in a maccies car park (don’t do that). I don’t think any of us would mind waiting a little longer for something that had some more variety, a stricter editing process and a little more production value.
Remember that he left car throttle and started this channel with the purpose of being able to own and do whatever he wants without having a producer and a bunch of suits breathing down his neck.
But with that being said, the editing and camera work in general was off on this one.
@@AlmightyDilan That isn't the job of a producer though-they're simply there to make sure things go according to plan . Alex can still come up with all the ideas and have total control, of course, but trying to present and direct at the same time is a difficult task.
@@AlmightyDilan producers weren’t the problem there, all they do is make sure everything is polished and I don’t mean fake or set up. Basically they help him implement his ideas.
@@AI-Records24 you guys are absolutely right, production value is essential to growth and i wouldnt mind seeing it, but im just not sure thats the direction hes going for
I could be wrong tho
@@AI-Records24 Exactly that
I liked the challenge, but...how did you manage to film everything except the cars themselves? 😅
Handbrake test was really… I just didn’t see how cars turned. So strange. Is this a trick to get like a thousand comments?
Not often I say this, but the camerawork was pants on this video! Why wasn’t the drone used on the first two challenges? All reaction shots, no action shots.
illegal to fly a drone in that area
@@EazyDuz18 It's actually just outside the no fly zone
Made sure the camera work was good in the CV ad though didn’t they
Jesus moan about anything just shut up being negative
@@EazyDuz18except there’s lots of Drone shots of the course?
Why are there no wide angle shots of the handbrake turns?
Or a drone shot above
Or an actual camera on the dials in the 0-40
@@Traxxmaciek This isn't TopGear mate, calm down.
@@Budisgud69
They have drone shots in other parts of the video.
They also have GoPros. Instead of putting multiple ones on the outside, they could have just used one to film the speedometer.
We don't need Top Gear/Grand Tour levels of production, we just want them to do a bit better.
Why the cameraman doesn't film the cars doing the challenge????
Yeah definitely need some improvement in that department. Video was really badly shot
I have the suspicion it's because they have gone down the fake it route and don't wanna show the full footage. Alex's "crash" reeks of a set up.
@@kelvincowe1623that’s the one mate he’s a right little sausage 😂
@@Traxxmaciek I would argue it’s possibly budget. You can hire a cameraman for 25k a year, but they’ll be straight out of uni with little experience of how to plan their filming schedule, not just physically shoot it. Could be wrong of course but this is how it feels.
I was about to say the SAME
Did one of your cameras fail or your editor have funny turn because you didn't actually film any challenge
Doing taylor dirty on the handbrake cos you knew he'd win 😢 nailed the second attempt
"YOU EVIL MAN, that's brilliant"
@@georgeg9959 the man child can’t ever lose🤣
I feel like you guys forgot to actually record the cars instead of just jump cutting between angles of yourself lol. For reference go watch a gears and gasoline video
Could do with bringing in Jack and Eaton from all the gear to sort out the camera work. For 2 guys on their own making full videos their footage is always amazing, could really have done with those guys on this shoot
Are you Jamaican?
Always liked an Ethan Twin Splitter
Ethan and Jack where videographers before presenters so it makes sense
Surly the challenges should have been done in a supermarket car park for the true hot hatch experience
Get some Macdonald's trays for the handbrake turn challenge 😂
Brilliant idea
@@jordanhoughton2897 Yes! Maccas trays are classic
Why on earth have they done it in a field🤣🤣
You should use the drone more often, especially for this types of test. The 0-40 and brake whould have been great to see in that view
I agree, it was a really entertaining video, we got all the reactions but not enough of action shots.
Lots of shots of their faces but not the driving. Odd filming or editing choice.
Also came here to say this! Unusually piss-poor job from this channel
wouldnt be able to do a drone shot of the puegeot as it was clearly scripted, hope these lot down go down the route of making up stuff for entertainment its just lazy
@@wntr2980 The "accidental" crash was a bit naff to say the least.
Taylor’s laugh sets me off everytime 😂😂😂😂
Editing is all over the place
You volunteering? Thought not. 😂😂😂😂
Guys you've built a cracking channel without all the obvious scripted crap up until now. Please don't go down that rabbit hole just to force content and views. The "crash" into the tree just screams faked laziness. We know you are better than this!
This channel is on the rocks a bit at the moment for some reason.
Been scripted since beginning
And Alex being in reverse "by mistake" for the handbrake bit...
The whole video was just a massive copy of all the stuff Top Gear did.
Couldn't agree more. People want authenticity, not fake crap. It's so unnecessary when they have good chemistry and are all funny guys.
My dogs ears pricked up when he heard Taylor laughing at the start 0:04 seconds 😂😂😂🐕🐕🐕
Apologies, I really don't like "hating" but I think you need to invest in more/better camera men and better editing. How you don't actually show the shot of the cars doing the handbrake turns or Alex accidentally reversing to name a few examples just seems so amateur.
Weird huh?! Terrible camera work.
Agreed, although what they need is a producer/director IMO. Someone who isn’t presenting or filming and can focus on the upcoming shots, general plan, the edit, etc. There’s so much potential to be had but this one thing is holding them back hugely I think
But this is UA-cam, things happen rather than pretend to happen? You need to demand an immediate refund of the feck all this cost you and get back to the Grand Tour
Get in the bin mate
@@stuartkennedy2082 That’s a rather needlessly aggressive way to respond. People are simply giving feedback, which is what these comments are for. I agree, things need to happen and not pretend to happen, but the production value needs to improve.
can you show what is happening?
Alex crash looked fake because of it.
It was fake mate.
17:10 a bit too scripted
Have you not noticed that this channel echos Top Gear quite a lot? And of course, a lot of other channels.
We need a muscle car challenge 🙃
Yes!! Taylors mentioned Monaros and Maloos in the podcast a few times, totally think he needs to try one, I can confirm the Monaro is a total blast
Hell yes!
Muscle cars are rare in britain, and when they are here, they aren't cheap, even for rust buckets.
In America
And no more BMW’s, ever.
Moving the cone is a bit too TopGear tbh
No that’s any group of mates in this situation…. It’s just happened to be that Jeremy, James and Richard were mates. The same as Alex, Taylor and Rory are.
The older I have gotten, the more opportunity I have had to afford nicer vehicles. However, as of late I have started to miss cheap shit boxes from my younger years. Like these that really have a lot of character and where you just do basic mods and repairs yet drive them like you absolutely have stole them. Keep it up gents, your showing really how
Something makes me think that Rory doesn't know what a Scandy flick is.
I've been hosteling in Scandinavia Performed a couple of Scandy flicks myself. 😂😂😂 My Dad also works at Nintendo though, so take that as you will... 😂😂😂😂
When you order Top Gear from Temu.
i liked the buying and dyno parts of this series.
They really think they are them 😂
So Cotswold Driving Experience is just a swampy field ?
@@jaykay4218 don’t forget the old tyres that mark out a “track”🤣🤣
14:20 No no no! Taylor nailed that one!
Also, who would have thought the Renault is the least crap of those 😂
The camera work was dreadful, on the handbrake turns we got an inside shot it you driving in then an outside shot of a parked car. And Alex’s crash was also missed looked too staged.
I feel like you guys didn't have enough camera people. I can't imagine how expensive it would be especially if you're on a budget, but I felt like we missed most of the action of all the great and funny things that happened in this vid. Not trying to be mean, Love you guys, I will always watch the vids haha
Static cameras are always a good option. Couple of gopros on tripods would do the job for the handbrake turn test for example
Wasn’t just me that thought the camera work was sub par judging by the comments. This must’ve been failed cameras. There’s no way the camera work was planned like this.
Other people have said there’s some scripting. I’m not sure on that but some of it did feel a bit forced. You’ve got a fantastic channel, hope it carries on that way.
Still enjoyed it anyway. Kinda wanted the VXR to win!
so to decide what's the best car you drove them around a mud pit for 40 seconds while filming your faces?
Nah, great concept(not a new one..), extremely poor execution
between the 3 of you bouncing ideas, that's the best you could come up with,do handbrake turns in cars without a functioning handbrake, and doing a nascar lap around a square soggy field in hot hatches??
Personally my choice would be the Clio, my first car was a Clio, so I got a soft spot for them. Only Alex could get a damp and soggy Peugeot 😂
Naaa, Talyor definitely won that first challenge, 100%
So we're swaping cars.... Have a word with your editor & enable that spell check :P
Need a challenge where you just choose the fastest car possible for a certain budget
Not only should Rory not be in front of the camera, but there were more shots of him than the actual cars!
Agreed
Rory is class, give over.
Idk why but he is very unlikable
@@Shot_Kawla totally
@@Shot_Kawlayeah he needs to go back to being off camera
Love the videos but this one just seemed too scripted, it was just trying too much to be like top gear aswell and the camera work wasn’t the best but love the work keep it up fellas and look forward to seeing you at ShedFest 3.0
After just watching the grand tour finale. This makes me happy to see a new fantastic trio making great content. A great laugh to watch with three fantastic hosts.
This video just shows.. you lot need to get rory a hell of alot more track time. Dude looks scared of anything over 30% throttle
@@shortmonk95 probably fake to imitate top gear James may (yet again)
Definitely something weird happened with the footage, still fun!!
1:44 neons are now neOFF's
From hearing you guys genuinely upset about slacking on video quality in the podcast to watching this great content. This is brilliant thanks guys
“Great content”… 🤣 I suppose it is, if you lower your standards far enough.
@@irritatedmushroom2😂
Back in the day Performance Car magazine had two rules for the jurnos. 1 keep control of the car at all times. 2 keep control of your face at all times. One for Rory there 😀
Taylor is actually such a good driver!
watching this is like watching Top gear..... if it was mde by Temu
A new Captain Slow has been born 🤣
The absolute waaaaaaaaaaft of top gear off this was beautiful. That said for constructive feedback the camera work let you down a little. Never the less I enjoyed it. Thanks guys
Rory is a good lad but my life his hot lap was the most cringe I've ever seen in a car😂
This channel isn’t half bad when there not just sat on a couch talking or standing somewhere talking if we wanted that we would listen to a podcast
Would be amazing to see an American car economy run challenge
The camera work wasn’t up to the standard we expect from the channel. But one of the best little series you have done in a while, nice to see some video’s without a mini or a BMW! And not Including the usually E73 i M sports grand touring Alpina coupe cobblers.
Brilliant laugh…. Thoroughly entertained! 👍🏻
Was hoping for a drag race between these cars
So glad the og top gear lives on with these kind of channels
come on lads, this was shot poorly, the handbrake test was terrible, as a viewer I had no clue what was actually happening because all we saw was Rorys reactions.
I genuinely thought i was watching Top Gear with the intro. Keep it up lads
The clio 172/182 is such a cool hot hatch. Great looking great handling and that induction sound from that na engine is sick. No wonder good examples of these are flying up in value. Also gutted you didn’t take these on track
Please get t-shirts printed with Rory's special face with a helmet on and "Holy Shit Boys"
Feels sooo staged like the "worst" grand tour episode...
Hearing Taylor and Rory cackling away is pure serotonin
New top gear cast
Playing James May is Rory
Playing Jeramy Clarkson is Taylor
And playing Richard Hammond is Alex
I would of had Alex as Clarkson but Taylor seems a better driver and more cocky
I would have loved to see more of the racing. Especially something like taylor driving the opel. Either way, i enjoyed this video! Cool cars👍
Taylor is robbed during the handbrake challenge.
Did you seriously attatc the towline to the WHEEL of the Peugot to pull it out?! You've got to be kidding me!
Yeah ... I was also surprised by this 😅 but hey if it's works, it works!
I love 208 GTi's. My grandpa had a baby-GTi called the XY. He chipped it to 190hp and 320nm, more nm than a GTi. That thing FLEW.
Taylor wins on all acounts, that man knows a good car and can drive well 💙
8/10 vid. Loved it. Love you Alex, love you Tay Tay, love you Rory. The comments point out some fair improvements. I suspect maybe drone footage of the cars corrupted or something? Also, do not ever ever pre-script something that is supposed to look not scripted. You guys should also just be your natural selves, don't try and be Top Gear. Sure, all the comments are saying that, but you guys are not Top Gear, and that is a good thing because you are you!! If you do, you'll always be the "top gear from temu" rather than AutoAlex and Pals. And lastly, promise to us all that you will ALWAYS have fun making these vids.
You guys should do a caravan challenge/road trip
This is one blue fade filter away from a carbon copy of peak top gear challenge, and I love it
Best challenge so far. Top Gear vibes. Good for you guys. Bravo
Feels like this episode was sponsored by Aderall, too.
You were just a few miles away from me filming this, if I knew you were there would of been great to meet you guys.
Whens the classic car challenge update?
Loving the fact these three are very much their own personalities but I have to admit, there are some vibes to a certain Top Gear trio off of all three of them. Taylor gives (more calm) Jeremy vibes, Rory gives slight James vibes and Alex gives early Top Gear, Hammond vibes.
Love the video I have actually done a rally school here and we do it in second in the c2 they have there brilliant love watching you guys
The camera work and such needs some improvement but the lads are amazing.
For the handbrake turn; a drone over would’ve been great
For 0-40 a camera on the dials (this is really easy lads)
& that's coz Taylor's the Dude, when it comes to his driving
Richard, James and Jeremy seem to be back on our screens with this one
This is just a blatant copy of the old Top Gear challenge style videos, moving the cones, in reverse by accident, fake crash, silly camera cuts. I love the channel and you guys but please please keep it original, this was just trying too hard.
This was hilarious, but just think how much more entertaining an all out Demolition Derby would be.
Feel so sorry for Rory 😢 your girlfriend running off with your dad is just heartbreaking 💔
What
Gotta listen to the podcast it’s “what he doesn’t say”
Where did you hear this? Lol
Huh? Is that what happened?
Another one for the list of things that never happened
Much appreciated fun here also love it that you guys in 2 hours make 50k views and carthrottle is dying off at like 2.8k. 20 times better performance easy.
Turbo FWD hot hatches really do struggle in low traction conditions. My 208 GTi was improved massively by the installation of a Quaiff LSD as it had too much torque after the remap for the standard diff.
You guys kept this quiet! Venue's only 10 mins from my house mate 😅 Ironically, I never knew that place existed! 😳 great video guys 💪
You could have had coffee and tiffin at mine! 👍
wtf these challenges in this terrain, its not offroads!
I've watched pretty much every video as far back as the CT days, but this is one I couldn't watch to the end. The idea was good, production good, TopGear-esq, even with the set-up crash in the hedge,, but so much screaming and shouting, it's ear piercing 😩 Also, why wasn't the camera man actually filming the handbrake turns? 🤷🏻
so funny story...I had no intention to end up in the trees!
you driving that 208 like a native Frenchie Alex... spirited^^
Amazing how that Clio looks huge inside when Alex is sat in it....... :D
Honestly, this is easily the most entertaining thing I’ve watched.
Not Alex falling for a bot...
😂😂
I really like the videos with the three of you. Ceep on guys. Some day you will be the next Clarkson, Hammond and May. Not a copy, but just as good.
You guys are the new top gear i think absolutely brilliant
This is a great episode because there are no German cars involved.
Though I guess technically Vauxhall is Opel.
Was there a new editor for this one? Or were there missing cameras or lost footage (it's like one of them is shooting in manual focus too). It's really strange, Alex's 40mph run is literally 2 seconds of the start and then a flash of a speedo (miles away from the tree) and then a crash. The rest of the video is just so strangely cut.
Also on the final challenge - no rundown of the course or expanation, more footage of the two guys watching the car (and commentating) than the actual footage itself. So strange lads and I'm normally such a huge fan of the channel but things have been off recently!
Excellent work guys, great series
That handbrake test was like a Hammond , may and Clarkson moment 😂
I was waiting for James may yo shout CLAARKSOON!!!
Yup Tory is the James may of the trip. Captain slow.
the day Rory pronounces 'three' correctly, my life will be complete
They did the 208 GTI such an injustice. It’s actually a great car!
new video! thanks alex!
Comments are a bit brutal, I really enjoyed the episode!! Yeah some better handbrake turn shots would have been cool, and Alex's "crash" was 100% staged, but I still had fun. Oh and Taylor wins the handbrake challenge, his was eeeasily the best!
Taylor was robbed on the first challenge at the adventure place, king of rust AND handbrake turns…
