There is a beauty in the way the camera zooms in on the Xantia Activa accompanied by excitement, only for the excitement to be for the wheel trims on my twingo 🤣 was lovely chatting to you guys, my wheel trims have never been praised so highly before!
I’m here before this channel takes off to another complete level, never see many original ideas and content now a days, brilliant . Time to go back and watch the rest of the videos ✌🏻
hey its me at 34:01! Funny you mention the 106 being alot of peoples first cars as its also my first car! (and on L plates) I've you seen you guys pop up on my tiktok feed alot recently, love the stuff im seeing from you!
6:24 The Audi in Spirited Away was actually a B5 Audi A4 (Quattro), accurately depicted as a left hand drive car, as in Japan it's a status symbol to have your expensive European car in LHD.
This was me waving out of the passenger window of my dad’s C4-generation Audi 100, before the truly unexceptional combination of 133 horsepower and a four speed auto took us to 60 mph a whopping 10 seconds later. Brilliant video, I’m hooked!
@@WAYMOEuk no worries! Funnily enough I saw the stage show of Spirited Away recently and was excited to see how they would represent the Audi on stage. Turned out they sat on some boxes and held a cardboard disc to represent a steering wheel… still, the rest of the show slapped
As the owner of the white dolomite, a lot of it (not structurally) is fibreglass and filler yes My bf’s blue one is a lot less fibreglass and filler but a lot more crusty instead xD
(ps, thanks for letting us know we were in this whilst in the mcdonald’s car park after the show aha, love seeing my own and my friends’ cars in videos!)
You got our mini You got our mini convoy at around 14.35! My mate's white Renault Megane which is a normally aspirated diesel. My Spearmint Rhino Fabia Estate with a 1.4 OHV engine, which is a lightly modified version of the engine found in the Felicia, Favorit and rear engined Estelle. And the red car behind my Fabia is another mate's car, a Perodua Nippa which is essentially a Daihatsu Cuore built under licence in Malaysia. We were going to do a 0-60 race but realised we'd need until next FOTU to reach 60. The contenders for the world's slowest drag race. Good to see those flutes Sniff and Smith, too.
Completely agree with the whole "not driving your car in the first 30 seconds" mantra. That's time that you let the engine warm up a bit whilst you get all your stuff together for the journey - sat nav, music, de-icing etc. Smith and Sniff did a great bit on general mechanical sympathy in cars and I follow most of it and generally always have. I don't ratchet up my handbrake, I'll pull it up on the button, I wont put the car over 3500 rpm until its done a few miles and warmed up and despite owning what to many would be considered a car *designed* to be taken by the scruff of the neck and thrashed (Toyota GT86), I think I've only dumped the clutch twice in 2 years of ownership.
My Dad always said that every time the crankshaft turned, it wore a little bit off. He very rarely revved an engine above 2000rpm and when pulling out of a junction, would be in 3rd by the time he straighted the wheel.
Cornwall's entire tourist industry has been very fortunate in that nobody has ever managed to successfully sexualize the term "cream tea". It's entire summer tourism would change to a very different kind of rubber-suited, open-minded, couples-based demographic.
ULEZ is mostly to stop old Transits and 56 plate 118D's chugging around greater London, turning my snot black and giving kids asthma. Classic cars are exempt because there's comparatively very few of them. I think if all the diesel Peugeot 404 pickups in the UK entered central London the numbers would still be in low double figures, so I say they're very welcome
Johnny, if you need a wee in a busy place, you can always crate a Car Door Carsie Pop the boot, open the front and rear passenger doors, and Bingo! You have your own 3'-sided cubicle! Anybody passing will be more interested in what's in your boot - rather than what you may be ctually doing. I'm told that people who like to exercise their canine companions during the hours of darkness also create car door carsies - but prefer to keep their boot lids closed. This obviously diverts the attention of any passers-by back to the occupants of the car.
@@WAYMOEuk mk1 looks fairly different is early 90s. There is a 2 and 2.5 that was a 2.5 in the video I think and then 3 is the popular one from 2002-2007. I had an mk3 Mondeo ST220 so a fair whack of useless mondeo knowledge over here 🤣 On from what you said in the podcast, I bought my mondeo st220 because my dad had one!
Thank you so much for watching everyone! We'll see you for season 2 in a few weeks!!!

I love how the car spotting isn't just for the cars coming to FOTU, but also cars just driving by 😂
honestly we love a bit of everything
This is how you know you’ve made it!
it’s all downhill from here!
That's me at 30:52 haha 😂

That Top Trumps thing is hilarious 😂
Very entertaining. CMTMB
Sweet sweet guys OTSOT and all that.
you guys have got to come to east coast retros in suffolk, first wed of every month in summer, full of shit boxes with a few gems xxxx
God I love these videos! So simple yet so good, so happy I stumbled across your insta reels 🙌🏼
Sorry, but it would help if the host knows the difference between a mk1 and mk2 Mondeo. Can’t watch the trying too hard image thing either.
The green car is not a rover metro, it's an Austin metro, pre dates rover 😊
19:22 is an austin metro

Wait..... I knew of at least 2 people that owned beige sierras and " smoked with the windows up and did a little bit of drink driving " 😂😂

hey my starlet was not called unexptional! and cheers for the appreciation of my mates 106!
The metro is in Gumdrop Green.
Clicked for Smith and Sniff got Paul Cowland in his bargain Fiesta as a bonus
Never knew the AX and the 106 had the same chassis, that's funny, my mom had an AX and my dad had a 106!
i’ve just had a little fact check and i think i was a bit wrong here! the ax became the saxo, wich then shared a chassis with the 106!
