This is like Pimp My Ride, but the end product is actually tasteful

Eat my ride mate ;)
My xbox name is beastlybooch608
Hey yuwan i found a Glitch in fh4 u need to Rev the Ranger raptor with the 3.5 v6 TT
I think Alex was trying his best to keep a straight face whilst talking to the Shell girl!
If he didn't he's a dead man... his girlfriend watches this aswell! XD
and she did lern her text perfectly XXXDDDD
Take a breath 🎤 that spot was boring as heck. This video was a total Shellout 😱
This is just halarious
He went the same colour as her tshirt
"Lubricant is performing an important role." *Alex dying choking laughter*
Yes it does..
Didn't show any of the fixing though, that's the most interesting part
thats because this is an advert disguised as a video
They showed some of it... Including the oils change and doing the brakes
@@Mika-85 Fake MOT
@@hardcoretam Changing bulbs and fitting a battery harness aren't as appealing as a detail is.
@@joempoem478 it needed a LOT more than that for a legit MOT 🤣
Saving old cars from the scrapyard is a heroic honour
Stephen White totally spot on.
Such a shame the cost to keep old loves like this often causes them to end up scrapped
I saved 3 from their fate last year. Couldn't bare them to be wasted. Really good cars, why should anyone pay a fortune for a new car?
I have a 1987 Granada Scorpio that would surely have gone to the scrappers by now if someone else had bought it back in 2013.
Especially with the massive push to scrap perfectly servicable cars of the past few years to stimulate new car sales... Thousands upon thousands of decent cars, some not even that old, have met their premature fate in order to promote new purchases :/
@@cdsmith1990 Really a good hobby to save those oldies. I also do it.
I love this kind of things😀 restoring cars
Same here
Go watch Wheeler Dealers, it goes in to much more detail.
yes yes more of these
minus that it is an ad.
That’s not restoring a car that’s carrying some minor work to a big pile of shit
When talking to the shell girl alex was like: 🗿
"Lubricant" 😐
*Listening
stx why you gotta do me like this
@@tristan8243 I was just saying she was doing a Hell of a lot more talking... And I suspect it was half bullshit.
@@osu45d its just a sales woman :) she says what they said her to say :)
basic stuff... learn and repeat... how to sell stuff to basic unknow people :)
knock sensors and variable ignition timing on an 85 polo? has she been sniffing v power?
andk1987 it doesn’t even have an ECU!
Clearly she's memorized a pamphlet
does an '85 Polo even have electronic ignition or is it still points? lol, my '88 breadvan 1043 was electronic but sure as hell didn't sense the V-power and bump timing lol. The most intelligent thing about the fuel system on that is the auto-choke :D
dan mackintosh yeah electronic ignition with distributor, the early ones mk1 (Derby) before it was renamed polo were points
andk1987 it does, just nobody knows about it...
Really like these old restorations! Along with the cheap car buys, I'm getting an extremely strong Old Top Gear vibe and I love it! Please keep them coming!
Agreed
Yeah, this is awesome!
Production is really solid for "just a youtube" show. Love the cheap buys and such. Makes me want to try it out.
What restoration? We saw oil being swapped. a new air filter being wafted around and a brake bleed. It was a very thinly vailed ad for Shell.
That's my profile picture that you've got there mate
Shell commercial ends at 8:35
Thank you
Thanks
thanks!
👏🏻👏🏻
Shell commercial ends at 12:45
MOT guy:
"Brake line is insecure"
Brake line:
"You know, Brembos are so overrated..."
not get
Brembos I’ve used for years 👍 best brakes by far
@@poiiihy The brake line is making a derogatory comment about a high-end braking system because it is "insecure"
She: "lubricatin'..."
He: "nods and stares into the abyss while the lecture continues thoug imagining sth very different"
Its "abyss" my friend haha
the car was in such a bad state, Alex nearly bought it. :D
he couldn't buy it but he named, poly, niceee
It wasn't bad enough for Tavarish, though.
@@vdochev But Tyler Hoover was in the running...
She sounds like she was giving a pitch on dragons den
DogsJAFfa97 That’s because she basically is, except she’s pitching to us, and her product is Shell V-Power.
I’m out!
but she is cute!
Yup, marketing BS propaganda.
It sure did have the same rehearsed and awkward tone to it.
well that was the longest shell advert I've ever watched.
“Power steering fluid”
- Checks brake fluid reservoir :)
@ AG Chiptuning ... I spotted that too 👍🏼 almost had to watch it again as I couldn’t believe my own eyes 🙈 Incidentally you’re NOT permitted to open the brake fluid cup during the MOT test to check the brake fluid level.
I was looking for this comment too lol.
@@MattCSLnut you can't take the cap off but could still fail it if the brake fluid looks contaminated/dirty enough though through the reservoir.
I noticed too!! Come on car throttle did you realy think we would miss that?!
AG Chiptuning I spotted that as well on my 3rd watch 😂
I could feel the awkwardness when he was talking to that woman 😂
More like listening to her
I think he's standing on a pallet to avoid being heightmogged by her.
At least hes touched a boobie.
He was?
I love the 17,000,000,000 camera angle changes, between only two camera angles.
Disappointing you didn't show any of the work done on the car or it passing the MOT :(
Yeh this wasnt a proper video, just a shell ad.
Yes, would love to have seen the welding repairs.
I agree it was a pretty shit video to be fair ,,should have given it ed China to work on and film
Interesting premise, terribly structured video :/
Vegaspsycho got to agree with all the comments, I too was expecting to at least see some of the work being done, half the video was taken up by the shell girl rambling on which I mostly skipped.
"id say theres probably about 100 hours of work in here at least"
"cool you have 20 minutes"
"cool"
"good luck"
"thank you"
love it hahhaha
When this first cam out I believed he actually did it in 20 mins, after owning a 87 polo and working on it myself I know that is definitely not the case😂😂
That's some intense eye contact 😂
when someone recites a learnt text about how the engine adapts to good fuel ; and how the knock sensor reacts and adapts your ecu... while standing in front of a carburated polo ... it doesnt even have a lambda sensor ! you know its a shouve it up your face add. that car would run the same on 95 or 98 ; its setup mecanichly for a 95 or less..
Yeah it was a blanketed statement about fuel octane in vehicles. Even fuel injected cars don't adjust for fuel octane unless they are programmed to. If your cars designed for 95 then that's as good as it's going to get. 99 is a waste of money.
In the states there's arguements upon arguments over what fuel octane is and what it does for your car.
I have 2 cars which have been programmed to advance or retard the timing depending on the the knock sensor information.
Can't believe something as simple as fuel octane is so misunderstood. Preach the truth to all you can.
Glad to see your comment on here.
I agree, but in some countries 95 is E10 gas which has 10% bioetanol in it. Some cars before 2000 will not run properly on 95 and you have to run it on 98/99 octane. I don't think the carburator cares, but if the filter is to fine it can get clogged because of the bioetanol. And hoses will dry quicker and disolve. If you don't have E10 gas I see no reason to use 98, it's just more expensive.
They should've waited with the sponsorship for another car.
@@wimpmcgrump7871 I believe, every country in EU MUST have atleast 7% of bioetanol(maybe i'm wrong on the name, but it has to do something with fuel that is made from trees, nature itself, that can regrow in a short mater of time, maybe not bioetanol it's called, but you get the point, there is no pure 95 or 98 fuel made just from the oil in EU)
@@wimpmcgrump7871 higher octane just has more ethanol because ethanol is more resistant to detonation.
Alex's face when he was speaking to the Shell girl LMAO
Too long - awkward Eye contact
Alex looks like he’s having a “crisis”when the intelligent lady explains engines
you mean the robot?
You forgot to put quotes around "intelligent" and "explains."
She's reciting corporate speil.
She didnt even know that the Polo doesnt have s Knocking sensor
@@jonnoMoto which does in fact have tons of engineering behind it...
6:45 - look at his face when she’s talking...he’s saying in his mind “ mmm Yep ahha yea yea aha yeahhh yep”
James May would've loved this restoration... STANDARD!😂😂
@tone167 he himself has been in a shell commercial which featured Sebastian Vettel. His mate Hammond was in it too.
6:30 Alex is so happy that he found someone shorter than him
He has the high ground
Is there anything more satisfying than returning an old car to factory condition? So good
Do an mot check on the reg, he hasnt got it mot’d again😂
Thumbs up for skipping Shell lady’s speech 👍
This is a the same channel that has tutorials for running a car on chip oil, v power chip oil haha
she knows her shit maybe u should pay attention lol
And to when she bent over? Sry didnt happend this time, mate. Maybe next time...
I’d actually have Mobil 1 instead of shell oil lol
Also, it’s a very old car, so it is designed to run with 95 or less octane, so v power makes absolutely no difference
Massive shout out to limitless detailing for spending an entire day on this - yet they couldnt wind the windows down to clean the top 10mm of glass
Apparently they do have their limits!
Yep, I noticed that too. May they hang their heads in shame. Did they not know it was going to be on a UA-cam channel with millions of subscribers? LOL.
that, in a nutshell - is the issue with the 'detailing' market lately - everyone wants to do it, but not properly
If you're looking for an OCD specialist, give HiGrade Detailing a google. I'm based in Birmingham ;)
@@jjcvk can I bring my Cosworth?
I'd like an hour-long video of that Shell rep talking about the importance of lubricants!
I'm feeling sick, I may have a cold.
"Actually if you use Shell V-Power......"
“While speaking with our regional manager you are getting 100£ for every time you nod”
Nickolay Gavrilenko That'd explain it.
I'm rich
Drinking game: take a shot every time alex says “shell v power” or “shell helix”
Im driunk
We’re all smashed mate
Or Shell
Every time he flexes in a long shot!
My liver exploded
It always frustrates me when people change an air filter without giving the airbox a cleaning...
Indosarnia that car was fine art you clearly don’t understand what true art is
Ahhhh shit 🤦♂️
Shell is really on top of it :P First ChrisFix and now Car Throttle :D They're investing in right places.
MOT in the UK: Bring a new car and fail anyway.
MOT in Czech Rep: "Cool wing. Put the envelope over there and come back in 20 minutes." 😂
LMAO
Huh. We usually just leave it by the shifter 😁
More like: "Cool wing. #Failed"
Is it still like this? I'd have imagined cameras make it harder now.
@@lulzyboy Kinda... They do take photos of the car here too. Trouble is - how can anyone tell your wing/window tint/bodykit etc. is not legal from a photo? If MOT says it's good - it's good.
You might get into trouble with something ridiculous like a headcutter wing of course. The guys there just won't risk it.
Otherwise all you have to worry about are cops. But I've never been stopped for anything on the car yet really and I have a ton of race/track stuff on the car not legal for the road. 🙂
6:20 - 8:30
Me when pretending to understand the explanation of my math teacher. Like ohhh ok ok yeah
Don't worry, you didn't miss anything. She's talking crap.
@@LordSandwichII but her crap smells good... So do her farts 😁, (pretty sure there where farts...)
Not a good comparison since your math teacher wouldn't be trying to convince you that 1+2=5. Poor Alex knows she's talking absolute rubbish but can't say anything because $$$.
I had this exact car as a student back in 1989! Never let me down.... apart from alternator, seatbelts, light switch, ......
Nice to see an old classic be given a new lease on life. It's a nice car in a great colour.
Trust her advice people, with a name like "Joe Swinddles", you just know shes trustworthy
😁👍
Went back to the video, thought you was lying. My god the irony of her selling us the shell product with the last name :D
This comment will just go right over the heads of most commenters here.
I really wish a UA-camr would come and take my 1974 Citroen DS and restore it for me... *Wink wink nudge nudge*
That's actually worth saving, this Polo would be a better fit for the scrapheap.
@@kristoffer3000 fuck off, no car deserves to be scrapped
@@Random-nf7qb a prius does
@@espionnakers eh, yeah...
@@espionnakers well youre not wrong there
So cool to see one of these restored! Also a proud owner of a '85 Polo coupe, so very happy to see this one getting some love!! Absolutely amazing
good work gentleman you have given the ma a brilliant base to conserve for the future it is a classic example of a young timer. BRAVO thumbs up
This car is like my math marks
10 fails
Uncle jerry that would be me had I actually filled out the 10 questions in the time I had
This is awesome and I was thinking about doing this to my car! I just don't know what gas to use, maybe Shell V-Power would be adequate for the prolonged life of my engine...
Haha nice sarcasm mate 😂
Funny I started out being a super car fan petrolhead then now I actually super enjoy watching old car get the required attention and back to a good state.
Well done all who have involved in this video.
When you spend a whole day detailing a car but forget the top of the windows
This was amazing, but would have loved it if it was for more longer. Like a more detailed video
That guy must have literally gone and found the worst car he could find to get it done up for free 😂😂😂
Should definitely stretched this out over two or three episodes 👌🏻
You guys are the Top Gear cast we need and deserve
Last time I was early I remember Phil had a lot of rust
He’s been sitting so much I bet he does again
Take care of her! Like the way you took care of her for 12 years,Mate?
Nice to see any old girl being saved. Much better for the environment when you think about it. Ok the engine might not be but it's still better then sitting in a field like all the cars from the car scrappage scheme a few years back are doing.
Love the bit at the end @11:40 where Alex says how it’s also been filled with a full tank of V-Power and the guy instinctively looks down to check 😂
Been nice to see the work carried out to get it through the MOT
It would be nice to see how much welding and new metal had to be added!
I hate how short this video is, would’ve been better longer and with the detailing
Do you know how boring it would be to watch everything all the time everytime? That doesn't cater to the masses who watch these videos
I really like this. I think it's great you are getting people's old cars back on the road.
Classic restoration and Modern preservation.
I've had 3 of these Coupe S over the years. Nice to see another one back on the road!
I was seriously expecting him to pinch his shirt like Xzibit on pimp my ride 😂😂
I was expecting that too, Gav
I would love to see you in a top gear. Thats how much i love your channel.
I agree
Owner- to all those wondering why its not MOT'd
A) it requires a sill (booked in)
B) Cluster repair took 6 months to repair
C) watch this space
Sam
Excellent job. Really satisfying to see this forlorn Polo brought back into use.
These are great cars. I learned to drive in a later phase 2 Polo coupe c.1994 model year.
Anyone else feel this was just a 12 minute advert/commercial?
At least it was a bit less bad than the OBD one. God that was just commercial and no info. Sad that Sam has to be shilling for Shell now.
MightyCarMods aren't sellouts, I recommend em
@@madisonavenuemadman1387 been subscribed for years
@@madisonavenuemadman1387 except thier sponsored use of Ryobi, haltech, gfb, Castrol, Yokohama... I'm sure theres more.
@@1337Gareth they don't shove it down your throat, put out videos that show no work at all, and videos that are just ads.
I would love to have known how much it would have cost for all this lot to be repaired, I'm disappointed you didn't give me a breakdown!
Also, that lady knows all the benefits of lubricant :D
Awesome seeing old cars given a second chance at life, great job
Nooo Alex just nodding when talking to the shell girl😂😂😂
I get you have got to make money but ease up on having the ad mentioned through out the whole video.. it was just one big ad
I feels like the video was just made to be an ad with the "Saving rusting car" portion solely as a entertainment piece
It did state includes paid promotion at the start of the video. Car throttle is a big business, and as a small youtuber myself, i can't blame them for trying to make the monies, gotta pay for all these projects!
no shit
Thank you captain. Your work here is done.
Who do you think paid 100hrs worth of labor plus parts?
@@rapalo89 did I or did I not say, " I get that you have got to make money" I have no problem with them taking sponsorships as they have done in the past just felt like the whole video was about shell. Just my opinion.
My god I fell asleep when that Shell girl was having her speech
Lovely Jubbly, nice work people.
The car of my childhood was an E reg Polo that broke down on every long journey so this is such a happy video for me
Alex’s version of Car SOS 🆘
Thank you Shell V-Power for the video, I'll always buy Total Quartz .
Oh, and I've had a 1998 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting in Imola Blue for 7 years, only driven it for 6 months, been stored in a dusty council garage and pushed from pillar to post for years. Drove past it for 2 years at work before getting the courage to knock on the door when I saw a for sale sign.
I keep getting a burning desire to get it done. That part of myself I've left missing for too long.
Love this! I would definitely watch more of this!
Making up for the TT, I like it
That shell lady is giving him a hard time . He really didnt speak anything.
This video was AWESOME! I would LOVE to see more videos like this please.
Well, now I'm genuinely happy I live in the US. Hearing all those MOT failure causes was hilarious. I literally cut a miata into a gokart with no doors, no harnesses, roof, bumper covers, air bags, or turn signals and it passed a safety inspection with flying colors.
I love this type of thing! It's a shame that rust kills all of our cars in the UK because mechanically they're mostly fine 😟
6:39 WOW Jo’s arm is hair AF!
Good job on saving an old hero - would like to see more of this type of resto videos :)
This was amazing! CT you guys gotta make more of these videos
My car has never failed..it's from 1967 and MOT exempt 😂😂
1967??? holy moly ,old cars are the best , mark my words
what is it, out of curiosity...?
@@RWL2012 its a 1967 red triumph Herald convertible..lovely car 👍😀
@@maskedredstonerproz can't beat a wooden dashboard 👍
Have a feeling this guy never really cared about it, claimed to maintain it but it was in shocking condition
Now it’s sorn and hasn’t had the MOT renewed
So sad :(
One of those most awesome, and tasteful sponsorships I've seen from anyone in a long while.
Gotta love the awkward Shell name dropping and convo though, but Shell deserve it methinks.
Wow thanks shell lady that was so natural and informative and my car will last forever now with Shell™️ oils and petrol.
A normal person: What came first; the chicken or the egg?
Alex: Miata, Miata is always the answer! If not then the question is wrong! 😁😬
Me: watching a guy trying to get a car to pass inspected
Also Me: "laughs in ohio"
This video makes me appreciate America more
YOOOOOOO HELLO FELLOW OHIOAN
Wait. Are there no forms of inspection in Ohio?
@@Ce0ammer When you buy a car in Ohio, or any other US state, you supposed to have it inspected, if it fails you fix it and come back and have it re-tested. You only have to do it once. I bought a 1995 Lexus sc400 in Ft. Meyers, Florida and since I live in Wapakoneta, Ohio I had to get it inspected, but that was the only time.
Same, could you imagine if our cars had to go through this. LUL
Epic...do more of these
Absolute classic!
Once again, brilliant content Car Throttle :D
Imagine pimp my ride but a British version where they help old cars pass MOT
I would deffo watch
Isn't that sorta kinda what Wheeler Dealers is? :P
My 20yr old escort could do with this 😂
You're talking about a Ford... aren't you ? XD

LOOL
hahaha :D
@@jean-charlesweyland129 had to read your comment twice 😂😂
So nice to see how excited he got when they revealed it 😊😊

Was Alex stood on a step while interviewing Jo? He suddenly looked very tall.
Maybe she's also short
This car got more fails than the amount of trips it done...
Spot on. GREAT VID GUYS.
He says 'feeling smyoove' at 11.54 and they both realise and try to keep theyr faces straight. I'm dying 😂😂
