Shoutout to Miles’ sponsor for this last episode of High Mileage Hero. Download Fortnite here: pixly.go2cloud.org/SHiv
Glad to see miles again Alex such a transformation and props to you for restoring the Octavia thoroughly miles and Phil the iconic car throttle duo
Give the man his car back! Lol
Disgusting to have one of the best regular car restorations and _that_ in such close proximity.
Absolutely disgusting; I mean make your money where you can sure, but keep that trash away from something as meaningful as Miles....
V6 phil next😀😀😀😀😀😀
Car Throttle who cares about Fortnite
There's a Škoda Octavia in Czech Republic that have done 1.000.000 km (that's 621 371,2 miles). When it hit it that 1mil km, tacho didn't even shown numbers, just x's. It's now in Škoda museum, and Škoda gave the man, who owned it, fully new Octavia. Class.
watch him put 1000000km on that new octavia too xD
Ahmet new one won’t make it
@@nail9602 You have spoken the sad truth my man.
Nail no
Man my father made about 8.7 milions of km on Skoda Felicia some time ago and no one gave a fuck 😄 (driving is his for and he had the car for about 10 years)...
04:13 damn that supra in the back
xAlin Alin ikr it looks well mad 👊
supras are well sick lol
“It’s just like an old friend”
I felt that
4:05 Is that a SUPRA!?!? *Sprays glasses and wipes them clean*
Damian Darrington needs more likes haha
It's a mitsubishi fto gtx
BillyIs IMMORTAL it’s definitely a supra
@@MxMax-iu9dt Yeh it is 😂
Lol I see the Supra in the background
Wild supra spotted at 4:13
Yushan Chen I saw it to I was looking in the comments for people who noticed thank god someone did
Ikr
I saw it
thoughtvit was a porche tbh
Ty Davies same thing haha
should have gave it back to the original owner if it's the last episode, he could put another 400,000 miles on it. felt wrong he really wanted it back...
I agree, I thought that they would give it back.
I feel the same way...
Saaammeee... I feel the grudge from that guy...
I expected it to be a surprise or something... im dissapointed
Why? The last owner can't have loved it that much, it was in a horrendous state aside from the mechanicals of the car. And the CT team and/or their associates spent lots of time and money to get it looking how it does now. The old owner doesn't deserve to be given that for free.
The look on his face when he says "it's like an old friend" brings such Joy to my heart
From time to time I revisit this whole series. It makes me so happy and proud to be Czech, that you, all around the world love something from our country.
It's pathetic from my side, but I can't help myself.
We take these cars for granted, just honest hard workers. And you appreciate them. Thank you.
I thought this model was just a re badge golf with a boot. The Felicia was the last Czech made car.
6:49 That smooth gear-change is why this car has done 400,000 miles!
the downshifts cause the real troubles
He just eases her in, rev matching without even thinking having a conversation with Alex.
Cassette Walkman I
420apache657 why downshift when you can coast to a stop lmao
@Arazzio Was that a serious question? I can't tell with the "lmao" ending.
You should give Miles back to Russel he loves that car! He'll look after him.
5:45, "if you run a tank over it i would be devistated." And he just says "i've would've done it" man you're harsh.
He said he wouldn't have done it
@@dzenan.m he says ' I would have done it.'
Dick move indeed
90% of the comments are give the guy his car back
10% of the comments is dude is that a supra? Answer yes
Chris Kirby Supra? Where WHERE DAMMIT WHERE
@@ojsimpson9516 4:02 onwards
Yes my friend
Nice supra at 4:12
probs an n/a
That's the first thing I noticed in that scene!
"probably n/a"
My eyes were wide open when I saw it as well! 😂
Car guys are the most eagle eyed type of person 😂
I was waiting for them to give Miles back to the owner. That would have been super awesome!
Yes, it almost makes me wanna cry
New to the channel. Fantastic series I'm a big Skoda fan especially the Octavia. Brilliant to see how good they are and one restored to such a high standard. Well done all involved.
Just watch the whole series from France, and I have to admit it was huge!! Thank you for your videos, and keep up the good work! Congratulations!
We all want episode, where you give Russel his car back. Look how sad he looks. It just brakes my heart if i see his eyes. :(
Give that man that pristine car back. You brought #Miles back to his original owner= #RusselRelentlessservicemaster He is proof that if you care for your vehicle it will care for you.
The Best Games 974 I agree with this man
The Best Games 974 No, it’s not your guy’s choice if they give miles back, it’s their miles now
why? he sold his old crap car for 200 bucks. some one made it great again doesnt mean you give it back.
imagine how many bucks it cost to restore it. how many man hours it took. why would you just give it back then.
Seeing an old car meeting it's original owner makes me cry…
Pussy
Yes, it's a thing of beauty!
this is the best thing someone can do, i would love to sit in one of my old cars 1 last time, it brings back a lot of memory`s. great series, i am also a proud owner of a skoda superb dsg with 405000 km and it drives perfect(i was actually inspired by your series to buy it ). good job guys
I love the smile factor of this video. Just shows the importance of regular maintenance and loved how happy the previous owner was to be reunited
What's gonna happen to him now? I personally would have given it back to it's original owner and stayed in touch with him, with regular update videos regarding the mileage and condition... But I guess Alex could also use a car that actually has an engine in it and can get him from A to B without breaking down 😂
Du bist Stig's Deutsche Vetter?!?
The engine in Phil broke in the Nurburgring....The engine was taking a piss...with oil...
With Collin being a lemon and Phil being pushed to the limit (To the point of breaking down), it wouldn't be that bad.
zNoah colin is sold mate,
Long time ago too
I almost thought he was actually giving him the car back lol
Only just found this series. Absolutely amazing! Loved it!
You're a very talented presenter and car journalist Alex! I wish you the very best for the future and hope the channel gets the recognition it deserves as I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. This series has been my favourite by far for showcasing exactly what every motorist should do and that is simply "look after your car" and it will go forever and a day. WELL DONE ALEX AND THE WHOLE TEAM AT CAR THROTTLE!
I get that everyone wants CT to keep it, but honestly, Russell deserves to have it. I think CT should consider giving it away to Russell. (Oh and if he still has the transit van offer, do something fun with that)
PUT SOME CENTRE CAPS ON THOSE WHEELS YOU BLOODY SAVAGES!!!
I’m late to the party, but I loved this series!! You have inspired me to try and buy back my old lost friend (2012 Honda Accord Coupé ~90,000mi I used to call Hondaghini) and restore it back to when I bought it brand new. It would be awesome to see it and see how many “Miles” it’s accumulated since we parted ways.
Any updates yet?
I've throughly enjoyed this whole story. I love my Skoda and I've been inspired to get mine retuned and chipped and pampered forever. Skoda definitely has had the last laugh!
Give it back to him!
BynaTillOss no stupid
Yea agreed!
This was my favorite series
2:45 that seat is lent back exactly the same way that all the youths like to sit when driving their corsa’s
Cleaning my glasses: "IS THAT A SUPRA" (4:15)
"Thats like an old friend"- good grief that man loved that car. Let him have it.
0:28 come on guys, so much effort and then you put this broken antenna seal on Miles. I love this car. Great series.
Salko I was lookin’ for that comment 👌🏻
I agree good comment
Stimpy&Ren I think it’s because the whole interior was second hand. (That’s why Skoda did it for free. If you look, the drivers seat is also quite worn. And a bit damaged.)
Or the hubcap logo’s..
The lights are also needing a good clean, shame they didn't bother with that either
It's good to see an old friend for the first time. And I'm glad that car didn't get send to the scrap yard. Cars like that deserved a second chance in life.
That crease in the drivers door card is really conflicting with my OCD!
Me too!
And the O ring around the aerial!! Arghhhhhh!!!!!
I didn't know I had OCD. I couldn't stop looking at that crease . lol..
Is it meant to be there? Thought it was a new door card. Thought I saw the same crease on the old door.
@@Racelinekarting Yeah, the old door card had it too. Very odd.
That dent on the drivers door card is really annoying me
At 0:39, that dent in the door panel is really bugging me!
This really shows the strong connection that some people have with their cars.
I wonder what I'll feel like when I get my first car
That fantastic 1.9 TDI. Shame the newer VAG diesels aren't as good.
Well, at work we have a VW Caddy with "new" 1.6tdi 105ps, and it has 500.000km so far. Was used as taxi in Germany before. Still goin good.
Turbo diesel injection , am I right
@@ahps-mm5pk Turbo Diesel Intercooler
@@maksymmichalski6183 it actually means Turbocharged Direct Injection
Miles is gonna live forever!
We hope she doesn’t meet the accord.
*Oasis starts to play*
lol its a vw it wont get past 500k without major bottom end work. also next time u go on the motorway looks how many vw's are on the side broken down. i counted the other month 12 from west-midlands to Plymouth
Jacob Hornbrook miles wants to fly.
sam It's not a VW problem, it's an owner problem.
You should give miles back to it's original owner, that would be really awesome!!
Kabir Dautovic, awesome..... Nah his miles just got a new life....and him getting that back will be the best thing for him....ever
Eno sad,frajer se potrudio da ga sredi i da mu ga vrati
lol no. He sold him to get scrapped.
OOOO sta ima Bosanac
Bernd but you saw how happy the original owner was to se it restored, it hurts seeing your car being sold or scrapped, i recently sold my old car it was a shitbox tbh but i was still devastated when i saw it leave, that's why i tought it would be nice for the original owner to get miles back.
Great series. I wouldn't even say I was a car enthusiast but I really like this channel. I bought an Octavia about a year ago and absolutely love it! Such a great all rounder, good performance, economical, reliable and you can fit a bike in the back without taking a wheel off! I thought they were very underrated cars, but this series shows there is a lot of love for them out there.
what happened to the driver's door. a deep scratch on the door side. as you can see at time 2:20
Am I the only one disappointed he didn’t give it to russel
it can be auctioned for a good cause now
Would have been a nice touch for sure.
Dara Duggan and
Should have given it back to Russel. Clearly, clearly. He even wanted it back, offered him 250 pounds! Or double his money even, ha ha :)
But to be fare they did pay for it and for them to allow him to once again meet it is very respectable!
Oh man i think you should really sell it to the original owner. He cared for it like a baby and it would come full circle if he got it back
Leander Jac even better he should have given it to him for free and covered service costs for a few years
Or at least, it would've been soooo cool if he had sold it to the guy for the original 200 pounds
NATE SMITH sounds nice but they ain't just got money bags
Nah not sell it, just give it to him, would probably make him soooo happy
You just teased the poor man, lol! Give the man the surprise of his life and gift the car back!
This was an amazing series! I hope this was not the last we've seen of Miles! :)
Give this guy his car back!!!
Tijn v , it'll his best thing in the life....to get Miles back after selling it....
Yeaaaaaah
I thought he was gonna give it back too
Nah, Alex and the boys made it proper and spent some real money on it. They deserve it now
Last episode of series the bloke deserves it back there’s face it I doubt Alex paid much out of his own pocket for all the things done to miles
Just restore another old car and continue with this series.
“You look after a car and it will look after you” 100% agree. Please do another season as this reality you have out light to is awakening a greater reality inside each drive/owner. There is a genuine relationship possible and hopefully now encouraged. Love it
My first new car disproved that Axiom. I had to go back to the dealer for a repair before I made it home! It went downhill from there. 42 work orders at the dealership in 18 months and 30,000 miles. Only once did it limp from one scheduled maintenance to the next. It took three pages to list everything that broke in that 3,000 miles! It was hopeless.
Just watched the whole series... I am surprised i missed it!! I dont know which rock i was living under!! Absolutely loved this series!!
"there is nothing growing on the floor... that is always good" HAHA :D what a lovely chap
I was hoping they gave the old owner the keys. I love this series.
That dint in the drivers door card annoys me
The old door card had a similar dent in the same spot. That's weird.
@@E34Benzin I've been fretting about that too!
Best series on Car Throttle by far. Love to see another high milage hero series
Are you kidding me? Been following since the beginning. This car really should go back to the original owner if it’s not going to be daily driven. Gotta hit that 1million mile mark!
Proper ending would have been to give it as a gift to previous owner as a farewell to series and a very happy owner. Who agrees?
Muddassir Habib yep right here
Muddassir Habib i was waiting for such a great end.
Was also hoping for the owner to get it back. He kept it alive for so long, why not let him keep it alive longer?
Probably not for free or for 200 quid, but I agree.
No
This man is a master of backing into things
I honestly thought you guys were going to return it to him, now that would have been amazing.
4:04 dat Supra tho.....
Yea lmao
*sprays glasses and wipes them* IS THAT A SUPRA?
my attention went straight to that Supra lol
Joseph Ooi Same
Is that a Supra?!? xD
Sad it wasn't given back to Russell as a surprise. 😢
I agree. That would have been awesome to have given it back to the previous owner.
Not sad at all he got his money for it, now he regrets it cause he didn't want to spend the money to fix it.
@@pr1 nor did this channel spend much money to fix it up. The work was sponsored or donated
So much love For this Skoda Octavia mk2 ❤️
Loved it subscribed
Gonna go thru your series once again
Thanks mahn
Love for Skoda Octavia from India
Showed me what I wanted to see as a part of maintenance for high mileage cars , how it looks inside , amt of wear,
I loved the changing parts in old episodes and bringing it back to glory
Love u
#givethismanhiscarback
Kampfspetzle you fucking idiot I mean miles would not be miles if alex was not there.
Just sayin tho...
Miles wouldn’t be called Miles if Russel wasn’t there
yes give to me
Kampfspetzle #givethismanhiscarback let's do it.
This ain't Car SOS it's Car Throttle
Should have given the car back to Russel!
good boid yesss
good boid i have to agree with that, i mean they have spent a lot of money. But yes they should give it back
good boid yea defo!!
Honestly shocked they didn't!
Russel traded in the Octavia towards the Supra. Doubt he would want it back
Came in 4 years later to say that this was my favourite video series made by Car Throttle. Miles always was in my mind for all over this year's, being a big Vag fan, I think that in all Europe it's the best series of a diesel shitbox with a high mileage.
I watched the video because I own a Skoda Octavia 2003 Break :)) This car is amazing!
It's only been three hours and this video has over 100k views and 1.9k comments. Super work, gentlemen. This has been one of your most satisfying series. Bravo to everyone.
I LOVE YOU SUPRA 4:13
George Altezza fuck off
Marko M have a great day too!!
George Altezza thanks
Well that was hard to miss.
Thought exactly the same thing 😂
Omg our lovely Škoda Octavia :D to je hustý :DDD
What a great guy Russell is, the creator of the high mileage hero.
Aw man, should have given it back to the old boy
ImmersiveGamer83 no he's going to trash miles again, and they put alot of money
AwesomeRacer 14 no. They made a shit tone of money from series also the whole face lift was sponsored soo
I think everyone wants to see him have the car back...
piglet nope
piglet yup
piglet i dont
This is literally the first time Alex looks so small sitting in the car. lol
don't stop the videos about the miles. I have started to love it. put a periodic video about it thank bro
Please give it back to him
Man the look in his eyes , if you had gave it back to him I think it would mean the world for him #GiftItBack
This is my favourite series on your channel.
4:10 OMG THAT SUPRA
I think I speak for many when I say I want a Miles T-Shirt.
But the biggest question I have is, what will become of him now? Car Throttle camera car? A company pool car? Or will Skoda be taking him to show off at events of how well Miles has done?
If not, I’m sure I’m not the only person here who would quite happily make an offer to buy him.
I would like to buy him if it was in my country
I think Skoda is not really interested in this car, because there is Fabia mark 1 out there with more than 1 million kilometers on the clock. I think the Fabia is now in a museum.
Mac-Nuss Blub Ahh, I didn’t know that. Fair point.
If you are interested in the car, here is a link for you.

Mac-Nuss Cheers man
Both automotive misfits and high mileage hero ended too soon 😢
But they were great
Still watching this episode again.
I wish there would be more miles episode's
this is soooo wholesome
Give this man his car back!
stijn spoelstra Do you understand the concept of selling something? You sell it, it no longer own it. It is not his car, therefore Alex has no obligation to give it back.
Shona think we all know that mate.
Give the guy his car
Unusedcheetah29 it’s not his car. It was his car then he sold it for parts.
Collin Smith i know that.....
Unusedcheetah29 my bad i miss understood the tone of the comment at first
417 likes 3 comments yikes
Unusedcheetah29 no, he sold it, its not his anymore
damn this episode warms my heart
This just makes me smile.
You changed everything but not the antenna rubber base??!?!?!? WHHYYYYY
4:08 is noone gonna mention the supra in the background
willemHE I was thinking the same thing
3:09
Minecraft: Am i a joke to you?
minecraft is stilll more popular than that game where you shoot each other with nerf water guns
@@blurryyu lol
cringe
Nice to see car from my country Czech Republic, Octavia is legend
Probably the best CT episode so far. Had me beaming.
I defiantly think you should of gave him the car back as a gift, but it’s been such a great series hopefully more to come soon!
4:07
*BRO, IS THIS A SUPRA?????!!!!*
No. It's a datsun 100a
A Sparta?
*wipes glasses clean*
Its a lada
Auto yeah
Enjoyed watching this...Miles....what a car
Please give it back to the owner!!
I was waiting for you to give him the car
I want Miles! I love how reliable those cars are. I've had one before and I regret not keeping it
