    I can confirm, Top Gear ruined the black mountains which are all now average speed cameras of 40mph. However, this isn't a problem on a motorbike....
    Simply stop under a camera, take some cool pics of the bike, the scenery, all the cool cars coming past, then wait for a pause in traffic before sprinting to the next camera and repeating.
    I can confirm this works 😂

    We absolutely need an open source version of Top Gear by and for the community, with a rolling shifting cast based on youtuber availability. This is the thing I never knew I needed, and it'll bring more exposure to related youtuber's. I only discovered Autoalex from this side of the pond because you popped up on Tavarish, but I never really got into your content until you'd popped up on other youtube channels I follow over the last bunch of months.
    This is the magic formula that will grow the cartuber community, if it weren't for your networking with other youtubers, I wouldn't be subscribed to your main channel. I'm still letting youtube decide when to offer up the v2 channel...and this video came up on my feed per the algorithm within a day of it's release...presumably because the youtube algorithm feels it's related content, which is fair and accurate. This is the second podcast I've watched, and the only one I've watched completely....two weeks ago I didn't know you had a podcast....

      Alot of automotive youtubers don't have a racing background alex has some but for something like that to work manufacturer's would need to lend out cars and if you got say for example a non racing driver like blackpanther in for an episode no car company would let him drive down to the lack of experience clarkson hammond and may weren't racing drivers but they've got the experience to know semi decent car control

Went the other way along it, though, as we took the A39 originally as we went out to meet my mum at a pub for lunch (as she just so happened to be holidaying down there at the same time). I had no idea it was a really stage, but I certainly drove like it was (kinda). Was a lot of fun, even though I did have the family in the car at the time 😂
