When are you 3 gonna do a top gear style cheap car challenge where all 3 of you find a cheap car and do some challenges with it
I assume they’re purposefully trying to avoid being like top gear, but if they have anxieties about being copycats they shouldn’t.
when they get a bigger budget lol.
Yep - they could have standing rules too, to make it more interesting. Like...Alex can't get a BMW, Ethan's not allowed any sensible cars and Jack loses a point every time he looks nervous passing a Royal Mail truck.
digiscream 😂😂😂
I would honestly like that more than Top Gear. I got tired of the over the top Top Gear scripting. I find these guys funnier and more relatable.
'I've had loads of offers for the asking price' - why have you still got it then sir? :D
I’ve actually dealt with people like that, it’s such a turn off; like just be a normal human being like the other guy he called 🤣
First thing I thought,I believe it’s called bullshitting 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Genuinely thought the same thing, I was kinda hoping they'd get an attitude and say something like "Well, you should have accepted them" lmao
He said hes had loads of offers and none were below asking, meaning they're probly all above and he is thinking about who to sell to
Actually, I do that.
I tell them my next available free time is a certain date and literally only do it so I can see what good offers come in. Had a guy pay 2 grand more for a motor I was selling before because he wanted it there and then, so legit made time just to sell it.
Nothing wrong with holding back a little to see what everyone wants.
"I've had loads of offers, and none under the asking price"
"Listen mate, i know you have it up for £6000, .. would you take £6500 for it ??"
"Absolutely not"
Someone should buy my truck. The one I use on my channel. $83k Cad
@@bushtruck overpriced

R u fricking serious mate
@@bushtruck mate I’d give you £5000 for that thing, you’re tripping if you think that’s thing’s worth even £30,000
“Ethan, have you missed the fact that at some point it’s shit its pants?” I sprayed my drink everywhere 😂
Just like the Mustang
"It's for sale in the Netherlands, and I refuse to go to a country where the average height is 6 foot 9" 😂😂😂😂
Haha thats where I come from
lmao im dying, Nederland ftw
I bring the average down with my 1.71m
2 foot taller than him 😆😆
Geniaal😂😂
Ethans “camaro ” comment was like when you buy a chocolate bar out a vending machine and 2 fall out
So true
fax
Ahahahah
Love that at work.
Literally happened to a gummy machine with me this year so I'll assume its 4 that fell out in this scenario
Anyone kinda proud of Ethan? He seems to be sliding into the car world at long last, even though they joke all the time about it, he thought about the weight of the car when guessing 0-60 times. I'm so proud of Ethan WOOO!
I agree. And even being quite the enthusiast, I myself completely misjudged just HOW bad the displacement/HP ratio is on these old V8s. (My guess was 270HP)
Str4vv yes we Americans just now are learning how to make engines😂
19:05 that feeling when you’re casually driving around in your stock unmodified car and a ricer recognizes you as one of their own
I love when Ethan gets parts names wrong...
But it brings me more joy when he gets it right
It feels like a child learning to walk. He has stumbled along the way, but by god is he getting there
Yeah, mustang gts of this era were never supercharged, always NA, so Ethan messed up on that bit 😂
@@philgreen736 sorry, you are wrong sir. Ethan said this one had a supercharger. In Ethan we trust! ;)
Ethan saying a random car fact

Me (an American from the Detroit area) *sees at least 12 sn95s a day*
I never seen any but at least I'm not from Detroit
Same.
@@Saffy1 Correction: I am not from Detroit lol, I am from the area, like 45 minutes from Detroit. Live about 25 minutes from Dearborn where Ford HQ is.

@@fread51 yeah that
He definitely got a text telling him to say it's 5k from his pal Jason.
"I've had loads of offers, none are under the asking price"........why is it still for sale then? Ha ha
I was thinking this and it makes no sense. Is he suggesting that MULTIPLE people have seen his car for sale at £5,995 and then said "£5,995? Don't be ridiculous, I won't give you any less than £8,995" to which he replied with "you're having a laugh, no!" and kept the car for sale?
So you're saying you'd accept the first offer you get when you're selling your car?
@@adeelm9028 if its the price you are asking for. why not?
I'm saying if my car was advertised for £5999 and someone offered me £5999 of course I would take it. He said no one offered under the asking price so by that logic everyone who offered £5999.....why would it still be for sale? I'm not reading too much into it as it was probably a slip of the tongue but it was just funny....
@@MartIn-ik1ic Yeah that makes sense tbh, it is quite funny...
I love how the boys are teaching him about cars . It is such a playful fun way of learning with your buddies
"It says Hood on it"
*Laughs in American*
When you an American watching this and you can find them all day for 700 to a 1000
Covered in rust with 300000 miles and a cracked rear window
Yup. I remember my $900 Z28 I bought in Vegas, same thing would be $10k in New Zealand. Swings & roundabouts, I bought an Altezza Gita (Lexus Sportcross) here for a grand.
Would you find a pretty clean 60,000 mile one for that though?
90s and 80s Camaros less than a grand as far as the eye can see
Luna Skiles haha that was the best Top Gear episode ever
Yooo, now we need a JDM import episode as well.
Celica GT4! Well they might find a ratty one for £5k

Seeing 3 brits play baseball is absolutely hilarious 😂 running around trying to tag without the ball, hopping OVER the bases instead of touching them 😂

"Ball me" 🤣
The guys told Jason that their budget was 5000 then all of a sudden Jason has a friend with a car. They ring him and he’s looking for 5000. Anyone else think Jason rang his friend before the guys did and were like ‘hey man these guys have a budget of 5000 and they’re desperate for a Mustang’. Easy 4750 and he only had the car a day.. a real Wheeler Dealer 😂
Surprised how much these old cars cost. I guess the price is due to the rarity - however it is a big shitbox really. Would rather have the MR2 Alex recently bought!
@@faisalleeds I don't think they officially sold them new in the UK until 2016, so everything for sale before then is going to have a markup due to rarity and the fact that somebody had to pay whatever fees the UK requires to import them.
@@faisalleeds same things here in canada with european specific cars. any old euro spec bmw would cost an arm and a leg here. same thing for japanese cars. a 92 mx-5 shitbox can go up to 9k CAD$. car prices are all over the place where i live.
@@faisalleeds as an american who sees like 20 of these a day it's funny to hear that they're rare in the UK
@@bitchassmcgee9708 I've seen a total of 3 mustangs in my life. One was the first gen, one was the 2016 convertible (saw it when I went to London in 2018) and the last one was a 2016 coupe I saw at a beach. I've seen more ferraris than I've seen mustangs
They should do a £1500 Porsche challenge like top gear did but buy a car each. Like so they can see. 👍
Then literally all comments will say “You copied Top Gear! Unsubscribe”. CZcams is more about originality
There aren't any £1500 Porsches anymore🙁
@Az Lean Aha yeah could get a boxster
@@EugVR6 There are an awful lot of worthless £ 0,00 micro d*cks amongst car kids. 👍

You should all have £1000 to spend on a car and then do test like range, economy etc and then also modify your car with the money left over to tackle an off-road course or some race circuit
Wildcat14 Brilliant They Should Call It TopGear Cant Wait !
Still can't get over the fact that Ethan thought a Great Wall would be an American car 😂😂
Its not Chinese either. It was produced in Bulgaria with Chinese parts
wait when trump builds a wall
@@karnadyjuan he already did lmao
America WISHES it could have a great wall!
I have a good challenge idea. £900 pound Pickup Challenge.
Well, good luck with that in Europe... Would be very interesting! Maybe pick-up or ute, that would make this possible.
That’s impossible
@@Skyline25 It's not impossible,i've seen a ton of suzuki pick ups around my school,and other pick ups. and I live in the uk too.

@@wesselschulte768 :) It would be funny if they try something like: "Pop the hood" or "V8 motor" :)
or maybe driiiiiift !!
"Bonnet" is what went on an old lady's head back on the Oregon trail.
Exactly. It's a 'hat' that goes on top of the engine to protect it from the elements.
A coop is what chickens live in.
hood is on top of hoodie or coat.. so why would i call it that either..
do you know england is older then the usa
420apache657 No? The USA owned the UK until we left them to rot in like the 1502 just 10 years after Columbus found the UK. Nobody likes tea or cops with funny hats.
Alex: "What do you think of it?"
Ethan: "Blue!"
Jack: "Well done, Eth."
I've just seen, on the Simply Mustangs group, the awesome gesture you guys have made with the proceeds of the SN95 sale, you guys are amazing👍🏻
No idea why, production values were amazing on this one. Probably one of my favorite car throttle videos.
You three should do a cheap car challenge but you buy three cars and go on a road trip
“This is the best SN97 mustang I’ve ever driven” - Jack: “today?”
I was smiling the whole time, thanks for the great video!
Ethan is hilarious. "We're Musthang people"
The "Hold out yer 'and" bit Alex does, never gets old. Love it. The 3 of you guys need to do like a Top Gear challenge and each buy a car. Do some challenges with them and sell them on.
Excellent video. Very clear instructions. Thank you.
This is great. Been researching sn95’s. Thinking of buying one. Looking forwards to the up coming episodes. There’s a HUGE aftermarket for them
I get so much joy when Alex says “old out yer and”
"rock SCISSOR PAPER go" 😂
I can't wait for all the content on this car it looks amazing!
"I refuse to go to a country where the average height is six foot nine."
Pffff!!! Still love you!
20:20 i like how Ethan goes like 1 second before the others and then gets called out for cheating .like wHaT?
i noticed that too like what ahahah
The Chrysler Crossfire was even build in Germany, its based on an Mercedes SLK.
It was a SLK which they just completely ruined :P
2:36
i was looking once on auto trader and found that exact car
mostly because at a time it was the only crown vic in the UK
I had a great laugh, thanks guys.
✌️Stay safe 🙏
That yellow mustang was totally stolen 😂, only cash, have it on hand
That’s how most car sales work. Keep the tax man away
@@ethancampion5931 in the UK you dont pay taxes on car sales
Is that not 90% of private car sales where you live?
@@EnglishDrifts69GTxRED you do if it's a trade sale! A lot of smaller traders will sell cheaper cars privately for that very reason.
I nearly bought that car once lol
Anyone else thinking about chrisfixe's
Mustang while watching this?
Just found this channel been through the full list of episodes and loved them all got to this episode and I see the yellow mustang .. I see this car everywhere around where I live would have loved for you guys to have come up my way .. Love the channel 👍
Love the video guys! Genuinely hilarious! But I do think it would have been nice to have had a reaction from the person who gave the criteria at the beginning of the vid, to take it full circle!
I'll give you guys £5000 for this when you've finished with it. Looks a beauty! Serious offer 👍
It'll be cheaper to just import your own. They're a dime a dozen in the states
Holdd aaaaat Yerr Anndd 🤝
@@jacobfleming565 I doubt it after all the shipping costs and the importation duties/taxes/charges.
Leighton Booth are we looking at the same car🤷♂️🤢🤢🤢
don't do it, this is the worst mustang ever made, 5L V8 with less power than 2L 4 cylinders, with one of the shitty torque converter autos that is dying... you won't get any parts for it here either. Not worth your time

Best CT episode ever, made me laugh so hard, thankyou CT
I am so glad you channel popped.
That Bright Atlantic Blue color is actually one of the more rare mustang colors they made!!
In 1994 it was just called bright blue. Still a great color and somewhat rare with only about 6 grand being produced.
I instantly believe everything you say about American cars because you spelt 'colour' wrong. Please take that as a compliment.
@@rhysblaney3121 it's spelled color.
@@bighoss7790 Colour is spelt with a 'U'. Just as Aluminium is spelt with a second 'I'.
in America it's spelled color but in europe and other Asian countries it is spelled colour. and here if you mistakly write COLOUR AS COLOR you lose marks.
“Oldddd artttt ya annnnnndddd” . Has to be said in ever episode 🤝
The shots and 'script' are getting better and better and better and I think you have to know that! Really good and professional work guys, keep up the good work!
Catching up on missing a few episodes, nothing like a good Car Throttle binge watch!
Who needs TV when we have a weekly instalment of you guys 😂
This was a really nice episode. Great filming, storytelling and overall just lovely. The scene with the BBQ was so brotherly and friendly. Great work :)
great job guys, love the video !!
29:27 "Clean *Harry*, you've just been *Maguired*" 🤣
9:26 "I've had loads of offers, and none under the asking price" then why hasn't it sold yet? Just curious lll
Probably doesn't want to sell it my brother did the same thing with his f150 and that I know of he still has it (it's a nice truck to be fair with perfect interior)
None UNDER the asking price! 🤣
But then again you as a seller allowed to wait for the highest price before you sell it. So if the bidding still going on, just wait a day or two until it reaches the highest.
Please do Van's next guys by the way loving the content.
2:04 we have the same tesco garden furniture set, lol.
’OLD OUT YO HAND! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love these Mike Brewer moments! lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣
In all these challenges where all 3 participate, the boys give me such a good "old top gear" vibe, but with some sort of their own twist and uniqueness. They have the chemistry going on, they have the passion; even Ethan is slowly turning into one of us. It's spot on for a car show. Idk if Ethan still does the editing all by himself, but there are some really good music choices. The slow guitar at the end of the day montage was just fabulous. It's one of the best short pieces i've seen this year. Good job mates!
These episodes just keep getting better, great stuff guys! Already looking forward to the next one.
Visuals on point lads
That was such a fun video... great stuff guys.
A half an hour of not even an attempt at a burn out. Disappointing.
Differential doesn’t look too good...
its a mustang, it cant or it goes to spinning out of the road
@@TopiAS06 most 94-98 mustangs have so little power compared to other years so it's quite noticeable in my GT lol.
The car is an automatic so that'll be a bit difficult
Brits don’t do it for Dale
I already know what life is like with a Mustang in the UK, she was my dad's daily driver. As a kid my dad had a fox body, a 1986 model, red interior (cloth with a cigarette burn in the rear left seat and a cracked dash) and a red exterior (dad had to replace the hatch with a green one when the neighbors got drunk and put a wheelie bin through the rear glass) with a 3.8 V6 140hp and I remember him reversing through a McDonalds drive thru so that he was on the correct side to get the food. We called her Megan as the registration plate was C220 MGN. She's long been sold and the next owner painted her silver with a blown ford big block and fat drag tyres turning her into a racing car
This is probs my favourite challenge video so far!
Awesome job with this one!
You guys should make it a drift car like chrisfix and that would be cool🔥🔥🔥
"We're doing a challenge video... Like no other"
That's a bit of a bold claim
3 people who have no idea what to do with their arms or hands while being filmed. Love you guys!
Offfffff that moment he started doing circles and making swirls in the paint man that hurt the inner detailer in me
