Come on Alex. You cant moan about £150 for a cold water tap and then advertise a £50 waterbottle.
You realise these are total snake oil, right?
You're better than this Alex. Don't ruin your rep by shilling known scam products. . .

The mystery guests... What a great way to introduce Ethan and Jack under the Autoalex umbella
"This divorce is taking all the kids" is what did it for me 🤣
@@EthanTurner61Rory is the step mom masterminding the plan
PLEASE. this would be so awesome.
exactly what I thought ..
A road trip with Alex's 993, Edwin and Will's 996, and Ben Collin's 997 would be mega! Battle of the Porsches!
Berlin to Warsaw in one tank
Agreed 👍 the UK version of car trek is born 🙌
And Jacks’ 924!
More like 'march of the Porsche Drivers through the Brecon Beacons....'
@@Chronostra what you did there, i see it hahahahahahahaha
Alex, instead of getting a bigger sofa, use that molten crispy seat for a "hot seat"
That's a great idea.
Edwin, if you're reading this.. Good call in the end there. I have been very critical towards CT recently, but if i haven't been clear enough i'd like to make clear that personally my criticism towards CT is purely the management/owners. Obviously can't comment on your former collegues.
Can't wait to see Jack and Ethan join either TDC or AA and i still hope it's not the end for CT although it currently looks like it is.
ethan did say he would do the headliner in Miles...............................
To be fair, do we care about CT? We just care about Ethan and Jack! (and the rest of the boys who left)
Ben Collins: "Yes... Interesting." 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately there will be no audio podcast this week but it will be back next week!
I want to know what's happening to the other 2 legends from Car Throttle
What did Rory bugger up this time?
@@anonimushboshlast weeks from Spotify.
Oh man
You may think that releasing the podcast as a video a week later will satisfy your rabid fans but it will not! We can only assume that the Car Throttle management and the French police have surrounded the Unit and you are negotiating a hostage trade of 17 broken BMWs for Ethan and Jack. Come on!
52:26 Love the channel guys but having electricity blackouts is a myth!
In the UK our electricity use peaked in 2005 with 357 TWh used per year. Our electricity use has been falling since 2005 and we are now (2022) using 281 TWh per year. If we all had EV's we would need an additional 75 TWh per year so we would be back to 2005 levels.
National grid have stated this is the case. There will be no blackouts.
Home solar is becoming cheaper & more efficient every year. Plenty of people already have solar so an EV is basically a no brainer for them.
Off peak overnight tarrifs means there will not be spikes in charging in peak times. With bidirectional charging being introduced in more vehicles you can sell your BEV electricity back to the grid in high demand and charge when there is low demand. You can end up being paid and still charge your car!
"2 mystery guests." 🤞🏾 Please be who I hope it is!
I think it has to be!
It's 100% them, it was basically confirmed with the bed in the Focus comment
Referencing a bed in a sofa, there's no way it isn't 🤣

C'MON GUYS... V2 GO GO GO!!!
Have now caught up listening to all the pod casts while I've been driving. Sometimes I have laughed so hard I've had to almost pull over, god knows what other drivers must think seeing me in the car alone in utter hysterics. Keep up the great work and thanks for the entertainment it's much appreciated.
Don't crash 😭
This is absolutely brilliant listening, you guys are all fantastic together, now just finish the line up with Jack and Ethan and make some Auto Alex history 😎
Are you Rory 🤣 To be honest I don't watch regular TV anymore, CZcams has the best content, can fully relate
Birmingham is the only place I have looked at a car, and the sales man was wearing a track suit, and when It came to test driving it I was told "you ain't test driving it unless ya buying it" to my response "I won't be if there is something wrong with it, when I drive it". He proceeded to argue with me to the point lol I think he wanted a fight. Yeah no I'm not buy any shit off you, laughed and walked away.
One car had miles rolled back and showed it in the handbook.. lol
And one car was so rough (blue smoke, clutch gone, suspension shot).. I just walked away.
Yeah don't buy cars from Birmingham...
Alex talking about expensive heating while the postman left the door open in the background 😅
I reckon Rory has become protective mother and sheltering all the “stragglers”
59:02 MYSTERY GUEST!!
An Allegro isn`t a hatchback!
Looks like it should be but as you say it’s bot
Jack and Ethan mystery guests
swiftly becoming one of my fav pod casts ,well done guys
The discussions here were brilliant. Love you guys.
Great podcast, thoroughly enjoyed!
Had no idea P1 was "cousins"🎉 with this crew. Thats awesome
Alex calling someone should just be part of the podcast 🤣
Alex is collecting previous car throttle members like they Pokémon his gotta catch them all . 😂
Car throttle is like a launch pad for You tube success
car throttle is going to die
@@NikoMoraKamuit’s already dead but it dosen’t know it is like a zombie 🧟♂️
Car throttle was always 💩
The best thing that happened to it was when Alex left and met Taylor and Rory
F**ing around with cars with no script or any BS is 10x funnier and more watchable than car throttle content was
Raleaf sounds amazing! Get it done
Totally down for a Ralleaf 😂👌 great podcast guys and so glad the guys have hit the ground running with TDC, fantastic content across all channels, building an empire here 👌
I recently started watching Auto Alex. I am enjoying laughing along with you guy's. Hello from Sydney Australia.
The bridge before M40 J3, Loudwater, just before the bend, most weekends, all holidays, camera van.
M40 J4. Handy cross bridge. They sit tucked up to the left if you’re going North
The mystery vehicle was a Vanden Plas 1500; it was never named an Austin nor an Allegro despite its origins. Also, Allegros and their badge-engineered offsprings were saloons with 2 or 4 doors and a 3-door estates only. Although the styling suggested, BL never offered them in hatchback form, and indeed the VP 1500 was only sold as a 4-door saloon.
25:44 spending ticket 🎫
Diesel or gas electric plug-in hybrids are simply the way to go. If you think about it, if the engine exists only to drive the generator to top off the battery, almost all powertrain inefficiencies are eliminated. Plug it in and charge up off the grid to do your short driving. For your long drives, top off the tank, and let the little engine hum away. Added bonus, Diesel and electric stationary engines that are designed and optimized to run at a fixed RPM, are just about as efficient as you can make an internal combustion engine.
TDC has already surpassed Autoalex V2 sub count lol
Bought a Sapphy 4x4 Cosworth from guy in Birmingham in June 2004.. Spot on appart from the ABS light came on at 123MPH.....
Saw a photo of Phil on the Top Gear video on the end of the Dodge Challenger
"Some say when the Stig hears a Brummie dialect, his brain decides to forget everything he learnt for the past 5 years, and that when he goes on a night out in Birmingham, he sniffs oil patches on peoples driveways. All we know is he’s called the Stig.”
You should invite Richard from RSEV to debate the electric car matter.
Alex get a 32A commando socket installed on its own 40A circuit. A £30 adapter for your tesla charger will get you 7.4kW charging rate with very little outlay. That's 30miles per hour overnight and on an ev tariff 128 miles will cost just over £2.
There is too much buy this/buy that and you cannot charge at home bs being spread. It is possible even in a terraced house if you do it the right way.
I'd also say Rory has not lived with a PHEV if he did he'd realise it is far from ideal. Unless you plug it in you use the engine as a generator ruining any savings of "Green efficiency". We have PHEVs in our company and they barely get 300 miles to a tank unless you plug them in every night. And then I throw the people in Terraced house argument back at him. And the the answer you get for economy is buy a diesel.
Now I don't live in London but I was under the impression they had kerb charging being rolled out? Perhaps look at that and ask what the city council's are doing to bring in the EV policy. And without fleecing the public in doing so. 7.4p/kw off peak and 26p/kw at peak. So why charge a minimum of 50p/kw and more?
I got clocked at 88mph on the M40 with one of the same vans back in 2018! I didn't expect it either!
996 csr spec would be cool. 996 vs 993 video would be cool as well. Doesnt Edwin have a green e46 m3?
Will must live locally to me, one of the unmarked vans is outside my village at least weekly on the a508. So easy to confuse with a works van but so far so good for me
I've only been court once for speeding and had the same experience. Me in a suit while everyone else in a tracksuit but it played in my favour. Got caught 80 in a 40 got a 2 week ban and £160 fine
How long ago was that, because they changed the sentencing for it in the last few years.
Also did you have a clean record prior to getting court.
Hi guys, as a car guy from the other side from the pond in The Netherlands, I see so many RHD cars for sale here. Not necessarily JDM cars but semi-cool cars like V8 BMW's, Porsches, etc. Over here they are offered much cheaper than their LHD equivalents. Are there any stict rules and import laws applicable to these former UK vehicles in case you guys fancy importing them back to the UK? Otherwise you guys might be able to score some cars for pretty cheap!
Collins is just a living legend
Honestly, the podcast should be with taylor. Give these two their separate channel sure, but leave this one.
I mean they're guests for one week, it's not that bad
@@TAussieG that's my point, I hope they're guests
Just alriciate the channel amd what they all do wooop
Tim at EBC is right! It's not the discs warping but the heat causing the crystalline structure of the metal changing, making it much harder. Most often caused by super hot brakes not being allowed to cool of driving. Once you stop, the super hot brake pads cover only part of the disc and change the structure in the metal of the disc. Nothing wrong, until the disc starts to wear and the thickness of the disc changes because the part that was much hotter during cooling off is much harder and doesn't wear as much as the rest or the disc. The lesson here is that if you get your brakes hot, you need to keep your wheels rolling until they are cooled off sufficiently or your discs need to be replaced eventually.
SCIENCE! haha
Not entirely true, last year i warped a rear disk on my Kia Ceed, took the disk off, put it on a flat surface and there was a clear warp, my caliper was partially seized so it didn't happen through normal operation but disks can and do still warp even on modern cars, the noise and vibration that came from it was horrendous when going above 40MPH, new right rear caliper and new disks and pads on the back fixed it.
Excellent advice there, it also helps if you lift off the brake pedal when sat at traffic lights, that portion of the disc in contact with the pad does not cool, if you don’t.
Since I’ve been doing that I’ve never warped a set.
It’s disc thickness variation - DTV - that can be measured with a dial gauge. Warping simply isn’t the correct term for it. (Tim from EBC)
Was there a hatch back VP 1500? I don't think there was!
Love the Videos and PodCasts keep up the good work. With regards to the electric vehicles, i work for a popular Motorway services and we are struggling to put EV chargers on sites as they dont have capacity on the grid and is taking a while to get it agreed. As a country we only produce about 35% renewable energy so most of these electric cars are still being charged with burning fossil fuels and the batteries are shot in 7 to 8 years. If you have a small budget the electric car isnt possible and as you said in certain situations the electric car will work but generally not the best way forward.
Alex my car could be a decent contender for the tesla, its a seat leon supercopa 2.0tdi CR, with a few spicy bits, semi slick, bilsteins to be put on soon, 240bhp 500nm, other handling mods etc
I did a 400 mile round trip in my BMWi3s Range Extender. Four petrol stops during the trip roughly £40 of petrol. Brilliant car.
I love LEAFs! You can turn the traction and stability control off by pulling a couple fuses. On my channel I have videos of me autocrossing a LEAF on semislicks.
Limited slip dif and it's golden
Bring matt and tommy to the pod please.
Went to view a 320d in Birmingham once, backstreet dealership. After test driving the heap of sh:t, I jumped back in my car and realised my phone was missing. We went back in and searched the BM interior and could not find it. I stood around asking where is it then and the owner got in my face telling me to F*** off and they don't have my phone, after a heated row, one his 'many' cousins turned up and started punching my windscreen and threatening me (whilst my partner and baby were in the car). We reversed away from him and called the police, they helped with a 'find my iPhone' searh to which it showed it was in the building, then they told the guy to drive round the block in the car, it showed the phone was moving with the car and we eventually found it stuck in the air vent under the seat. The police just told us to shake hands at the end of it, no action taken! Absolutely horrendous interaction.
The beauty of multiculturalism
late to this podcast but I'd love to see the ofroad leaf!
I bought my car from Cazoo (yes I know) and only found out when I looked at the service book that it had lived in and around Birmingham for around 6 years. Was very surprised because it was in perfect condition inside and out 😂 the speed limiter was set to 106 though...
The mention of the purple turtle got my attention!
The courses are funny 😂 everyone trying to plead their case…
Was literally driving down the M40 the other day paying attention to every bridge because of this haha
The answer to kerb side charging is a simple plastic gully that the council approves you install. Called Kerbocharge. It was on dragons den the other night.
Ralleaf sounds great
Boys can you get in touch with Sam Evans? AKA the Electric Viking? He is the oracle when it comes to EVs and he can give you the truth on so many EV facts. He knows all about Hydrogen and plug in or “self-charging” hybrids and can answer all of your questions. Rory really need this I end up screaming at him when he starts parroting his ‘alternative facts’ about EVs (I don’t feel about that, he’s a really nice bloke). 😂
Warped brakes usually incorrect fitting or driving - Dirt behind disc on hub when fitted or standing on brake pedal after coming to a stop after a heavy braking session (ie motorway slip road to roundabout stop). They won't/Cant leave factory with runout.
there is two awareness courses I'm sure, speeding on motorway and speeding on normal roads have there separate courses.
Mystery guests: I bet one rhymes with Smack and the other rhymes with Eaton ☺️
May the forth be with you!
I'm a huge f1 fan, seb vettle drove an older f1 car run completely on carbon free fuel, and it still had the same great sounding engine and run fine
That fuel is not carbon free though. Yes carbon capture tech produce fuel from thin air, but it takes electricity to run those machine, and without more renewable energy deployment, it's still using electricity from burning coal or natural gas. If you consider that electricity to be explicitly from renewable energy, then the lamp on a random person's desk just got dirtier using those dirty electricity that wasn't used to create synthetic fuel.
Rorys 100% right governments lie it's about the only thing that can count on them to do
erm the Austin allegro range of cars were salon or estate, not hatchback
Alex time to tap up Ethan and bring him on board. Taylor, Alex and Ethan with the sugar that is (buuuuuuuuuuut) hamsterman Rory. Its El Glacticos!
Somebody mentioned my cappuccino?? 😏 Always up for a new video 👍
The trouble with the Government's EV plans is, they've not done anything to actually make this a viable option for most people, They should have been investing in adding EV chargers across the country, also with the way Energy Suppliers have price gauged up all in recent years nobody trusts that their electricity bills won't suddenly do through the roof if the suppliers suddenly feel like increasing prices again.
I bought a car in Coventry Road Birmingham, it’s broke so much I call it Frankenshed now!
The Austin Alegro Vanden Plas isn’t a hatch back
Edwin needs to swap that 2.0l V10 in the mx5 when it's ready
Get a mezzanine built so you dont lose a lot of room.
So, not all podcast episodes will be upladed as videos?
Taylor looking good here
I guess Jack and Ethan are coming over as well 👍
Friend of mine went down to Birmingham for a suspiciously cheap s2000 about 10 years ago. He said it drove like it was hung together with cable ties, every wheel felt like it was pointing a different direction and the seller kindly said was no need to slow down for the speed bumps like he was doing, 'just smash over them' he suggested. He didn't buy the car and hasn't Been back to Birmingham to buy a car again. Lol
Will … how is it that you’re the most adorable man in the known (and some say the unknown) universes
Ngl missed Taylor
I must admit, I would love to have a proper debate with Rory about Ev's
Techy question.....what microphones are you using please ??
Looks like the shure sm7b
lads jack and ethan will be coming soon
I was getting the feeling you had moved on from ' Rorys Mum Jackie ' well saved 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Edwin looks like Wayne from the cramp twins
TDC has already surpassed AutoAlex V2.
As long as you only want an is200/300/altezza the one good guy to buy from in Birmingham is Ricky smith, he’s a legend
How can you not do autoalex v dead center v car throttle series
Looks like a weight watchers meeting 😂😂
I had a very similar experience! Just goes to show how much value they put in the "Speed Awareness" course... if they thought it was any use, they'd make you take the points AND the course, but... they don't, because... it's pointless.
I bought my cheap project BMW delivered from Birmingham.. Cat S write off, clutch slipping, massive oil leak and many many more problems.
Owner said everything was fine with the car 😅
1:02:41 Air Up chokes everyone... what a scam.
Love these podcasts, if at all possible, could you clip these discussions about EVs, would be great to share these
As ic you forgot Rorys mum Jackie I think she needs to be on the show and you should all gang up on Rory lol😂😂
i bought a pug 205 1.9 gti from brum years ago and when i went to start it the next day it wouldnt go into gear. so many days later we discovered the people before had filled the gearbox up with sawdust.
Liverpool is worse for buying second had car's had a vw dealer say he refuses cars from Liverpool branches
@@gingernutpreacher I bet he said calm down calm down after it as well. Look at the crime / deprivation of the 2 cities now, Birmingham is far worse, like Liverpool used to be in Thatchers day
@@seany8787 no he said ay up duck it wasnt that big of a chain so may not of had a branch in Birmingham
@@gingernutpreacher ay up duck? So he was from Leeds / Bradford area then
@@seany8787 stoke on trent
Cutting William from Overdrive would be like cutting Richard Hammond from Top Gear. Their loss. Just so thankful Will and Edwin is starting the TDC channel. Day 1 subscriber. ❤️ Car youtube is my new obsession. After Top Gear and The Grand Tour slowed down and/or died.
I genuinely thought Edwin was the guy from VinWiki with the ASMR voice.
Clicked so fast! 😂
