Big Pete will never let you down, as long as you keep on fixing it 😂.
There is no otter one like it.
(for context: Op initially made a typo, "Bever" instead of "never")
@@BenDeSwert666 Dam, that was a good reply...
@@lufc76 I have my moments 🤷🏻♂️
@@BenDeSwert666 I wondered wtf you were on about tbh, I get it now I've seen my error lol. Fixed.
@@johnwootton4469 gosh darn it 😂
I’m very impressed how capable it was on road tyres. Must be incredible on some all terrain or mud tyres!
They're made for this, absolutely effortless offroad like a true luxury suv. A jimny may be able to match/beat it offroad for less money and be more fun in the process but if you NEED to go offroad nothing beats a landie.
@@tadassmolskas3014bullshit. Any 4x4 live axle truck with lockers is better at off-roading than this suv.
It was still impressive on street tires regardless. Can't argue with that
agreed, i would love to see it with a nice set of BFG AT or MT tires, it would be simply unstoppable
@@samholdsworth420 You’d be surprised. I’ve got live axle 4x4s and they simply don’t match something like this.
Not just street tyres, but summer tyres. If they where winter ones, it would have been much much easier.
No real surprises here. Landies were born for this. I used to trial them with my Dad. We put a fabulous Rover V8 into a LightWeight chassis that we bought from the RAF. What a hoot that car was!! We were also lucky enough to be invited to a Camel Trophy day with Land Rover. The places those cars got to was just astounding. You should get some decent tyres on Big Pete. Roll cage. Remove the bumpers and other bodywork extras and do some competition offroad trialing with him. Could be a good 2024 series!
Big Pete is impressive. Don’t let him down and he won’t let you down.
Also, throw some off-road tyres on him and test him again!
And a snorkel! What incredible machines these things are. No wonder they struggle in the Waitrose car parks though.
@@SuperchargedLlama That won't stop water coming into the interior, sitting in the carpets, causing mold and eventually rot the floors out.
@@markwright3161 that's tomorrow's problem, at least the engine isn't aqualocked?
Thanks for dropping by Alex! I'm sure we will see you again soon 😂
Big Pete, absolute juggernaut in disguise! Handled the day a lot better than Luke did :')
Big Pete is the perfect crew car. Please don't sell it, it's the star of the channel
Taylors reaction to nearly going off the edge is priceless, absolutely hilarious. You made my day.
Big Pete is such a legend! He towed a car to and from the Nürburgring and went on the track and now did this!
Thank you Taylor for the well informed encouragement in getting that up the slopes. These are brilliant offroad despite their size and weight, some AT's would transform it off road and keep the towing ability.
Hello boys I've lost my job and was on a downer and was going to do something silly but after seeing you guys it's made me laugh and see life can be fun keep it up 🤗😉
thanks for the life story
@@EazyDuz18 don't be salty
@@EazyDuz18tool
Take care dude. Talk to someone 👍
Say hi to Ronnie for me 😂😉
Landrovers have always been great off-road, it's always been the reliability that let them down.
Big Pete absolutely killed it, far out. You guys need to keep him alive and kicking.
My dad used to drive a Disco 4 and we took it to an offroad day of the Land Rover Club once, and I was so incredibly impressed by the car's capabilities. You can just easily do three-point-turns whilst in 80cm of water in a swamp
That was brilliant, love Taylor’s commentary. So funny. 😂😂
Best fun you can have on four wheels. I had a Disco 1 V8 and a Disco 2 Td5 a while ago, I used to greenlane the Disco 1 and 'pay and play' the Disco 2 at an old quarry. I'd love to try my Freelander 2 at a site like that.
well done guys.you make an awesome team.
team autoalex is real,natural & fun to watch.keep going lads.
You do find that most 4x4s fail because their drivers don't know what they are doing. The first hill is proof, once they figured it out it just destroyed everything (with road tyres) well done Pete and crew.
A great advert for an old disco well done really enjoyed it
I would say if Pete's engine ever goes boom, put a Duramax turbo diesel engine in it, you'll be able to offroad anywhere
Just 4 fully grown men driving over hills and it brings so much happiness
Went to the land rover experience with my dad when he got his LR3. What a machinnnnnneeeee!!!! I tried to get it stuck during our canadian winters, couldn't be bothered. Loved that truck!!!!
I owned a 2007 Discovery 3 many years ago and loved it. Best city car ever, auto, unkerbable wheels, better turning circle than most superminis, easy to park, and no one would ever park next to me. When off-road though it was unbeatable, I actually won a drag race with a Subaru Impreza WRX on a wet field uphill. Problem was it got old and couldn’t stop needing new parts, although never failed to get me and the family home.
Wrx is awd .. dico is 4x4 .. not the same at all. Up hill on tarmac the wrx would be gone .
@@carsandstuff365 of course it would, but that wasn’t my point. There is no scenario where a WRX should lose to a 3 ton diesel, but on that day on a wet field the WRX lost, hence my appreciation of my old Disco.
@@carsandstuff365captain obvious has entered the chat
Yes mate love watching these
I've been lucky enough to have a good play at Avalanche Adventure and it's great fun!
I had a D3 and, with Goodyear a/t tyres it more than held it's own on sites like that. I'd have one again in a heartbeat if I could afford to run one! ❤❤
I think big pete and the range rover need to do an "overlanding" episode
yessss this alex
Big Pete's a keeper it'd appear.
Brilliant video. Thanks Guys
It's fascinating that Alex has no tolerance for repairs on a lot of cars but will sink endless sums into these garbage BMWs. I had an '11 335is (North American market only) for 6 years (75k miles at the end and absolutely immaculate) before it was knocked off a tow truck and written off. That is the only car I've ever owned that wanted to car the least. It much preferred to strand me or sit in the garage for endless and ridiculous problems.
It's the sunk cost fallacy, makes it hard to move vehicles on when you've spent so much on them already. I also think that (when working) the disco is a great camera car and there aren't many others that provide the same level of flexible space for filming.
@@Project40Cars definitely true. Kept throwing money at my BMW making it perfect, then something else would break/go wrong, then I fixed it again - oh, it’s perfect again. Years and $14k in maintenance and repairs later it was hard to get rid. Then the decision was made for me by a crazy Toyota driver.
Who are those 2 plebs in the back!! 😂😂 we're is Rory?
On those tyres too. Impressive.
Hi Alex I’m sure I just heard tyrestreetuk say they will give you a set of big knobblys so you can go back there and just in time for the snow ❄️ 😅😂✌️❤️
Great Video! They are amazingly capable vehicles! If you ever want to get behind the wheel of a V8 manual one then let me know! They're even more fun with over 300bhp, no silencers and a clutch pedal! Keep up the great work!
The videos can be seen on this channel!
Dad taking his kids for a spin in the country 🤣
WHERE IS PART 4?!?!? I'm starved for breaking cars.
That’s impressive! Has Big Pete won Alex’s heart back? Can he stay???
Big Pete hammered the Ring now conquered the Adventure.
Keep the Big Pete videos going!!!
Big Pete deserves upgrades for Christmas!
Honestly one of the most naturally hilarious episodes yet imo. You are all such amazing idiots and I am so grateful for you all. 😘😘
Some good tires and it would climb a tree Big Pete is a Rover after all
Nowhere that the MCM guys couldn't take the Kei-Truck!
"Go on big Pete!"
"Go on girl!"
Al Murray - "I was never confused!"
Definitely Need to put off road tyres on Big Pete for part 2 !
Did well for road tyres.. Think he's earnt his keep to have some all terrains n Snorkel now 🤔👌🏽
Big Pete lives another day what a year Pete’s had 7 deep at the ring and a muddy bath off road 😂
They may break a lot. I know I had a Land Rover Defender, but the tech they have in them to keep you going off road, as long as it is not broken, is pretty amazing...
Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥
The fact that it's on road tires on this terrain just shows How capable these Land rovers are
I feel like Alex is in the car world of a dad getting a pet for the family and secretly liking the pet (the pet is big Pete)
Big Pete must surely be an all new car at this point 😅
I can see the reality of owning a Landy out of warranty is slowly starting to sink in 😂, just slowly killing it to pretend like the bills aren't there 😅😂😂.
a set of All terrains would do wonders
Would love to see a video on the 335i!
I am genuinely surprised, might have to look at getting a Disco 3 for my next 4wd 👍
😂😂 brilliant… go on big Pete 💪
The Disco is for life! 🚗 One rule of Land Rover ownership, never sell 😅😂
The funniest thing about last nurburgring trip was when u concluded that Big Pete was the only one that survived it😂😂
Alex slipping that clutch
You need to do a collab with lrtime. German couple making discovery ownership look easy
Every week on the podcast I root for you to sell big Pete because of what he owes you, but that was impressive, especially on street tires.
impressive
Pete is a bit of a beast!!
Big off road tyres and send it.
Long live big pete 💯
Can we have Taylor doing the outro noise as the new outro noise please? 🤣
Go big P “go girl” lol
Taylor is such a sweet guy❤
What a set of mincers 😮 do they have to sound like that
Poor ol’Big Pete, he’s trying his best. As long as you look after him (£1000s later) he will still probably let you down 😂
Diff locks?!? Wow. It’s a keeper.
A pair of off road tyres would have made such a big difference
I once tried doing this in a bmw suv and well... the Land Rover was also very good at pulling bmw's out of offroad courses while driving in the mud too lol xD.
Yes Land Rovers are not massively reliable, heavy and annoying to repair sometimes not gonna lie they are nice to drive off road.
I have a discovery 2 and really fancy a 3 but not sure I could justify the repairs still bad enough with a cheaper model
Love big pete❤
Still waiting to see this rx8 you let slip in the podcast. Haway. Hope it’s got a massive dirty bridge ported engine to make it even more reliable👀🤣
Oo is that a lovely M57 e92 I can see?
love u Alex
Get another vw. Transporter.... You can do a door window swap...to the speed ca camera style and fit it out captains seat in the back....pulse diesel heater....so have a fridge for the milkshake storage.....etc....and save money let Rory sleep in her....
I took my D4 there, still cleaning the mud off it 12 months later
My brain says no, but my heart says yes! its only a matter of time before there is a Disco 3 in bit in my garage and me in the corner crying why!!!
If these were good enough for top gear for years, big pete is surely good enough for autoalex
Having a heavy vehicle isn't necessarily a detriment through mud. Playing hundreds of hours of mud/snowrunner taught me that
Nearly £6k into my 2008 HSE too. Amazing thing!
If it can't be done in a Discovery 3, it's not worth doing!👌🏼
BIG PETE DESERVES A NEW SET OF ALL TERRAIN TIRES plz do up big pete😊
Slightly biased as I've had mine for over 10 years now but there aren't many cars you can go 7 adults up on a proper road trip at motorway cruising speeds, fridge in the centre console, off road like that and still polish up nicely enough to get you anywhere without looking out of place. They might need looking after but they do lots of jobs really well, when many cars only do one or two.
Big Pete has to be my favourite of your cars 😅
Watching this just after driving my mk2 8v clio around rivi on the green lanes 🤣
Kinda want one of these as a daily but they aren't reliable enough are they?
Land Rover, when they were owned by Ford, are absolutely amazing. Quite reliable, as long as maintenance is carried out on time.
Hard disagree. IMO the Ford Takeover ruined them. Too many cooks in the designs, engines that didn’t fit design philosophy. The dire engines that were put in these was a Ford unit too.
I’ve took my Toyota hiace over the same hills that did 😅
British engineering. 💪
You should buy a Toyota land cruiser 200 for camera car! Chris harris loves it! You would too!
9:34 Touching cloth...!
Please tell me you remembered to turn the diff locks off before driving back on the road 😂
Well, I'm pretty sure ya'll got a better deal on that than I did with my 23' Ridgeline. And I'm not sure it would do what I just saw. But, the clever e-transfer case and limited slip rear diff lets me drift out like a rally driver on dirt and gravel roads. Like to see the crew come to Florida and buy used trucks. Go from Pensacola to Jacksonville taking the perimiter roads the long way to Key West and back up. Abundance of cold water springs, rollercoasters, gators, massive thunder storms, and who knows? Fright wigs! The loser of whatever game ya'll are playing at the time should have to wear a fright wig.
If only Land Rover put as much effort into reliability and security as they do off road ability they’d be a world beater
tell us about the 335i
