Love the video. Can you do a tvr car review or something like that.Also I would like to see an Alfa Romeo to your project cars or a review of what is the best Alfa in your opinion.
Ramon Zavala yup North America and Europe are eligible per Omaze
have you guys ever considered doing a collaboration with Mumbo?
The fact that Alex can speak german is the coolest part about this video tbh
and he actually speaks really well, you can barely notice an english accent
He's part German
@@michaelhristov723 thats what baffled me the most yeah
Ich habe mich voll erschrocken xD
@@abcschneekatze ich mich auch
It was so heartwarming when the new owner of your grandma's house let you in to check it after so many years...
Yeah, to be honest I didn't expect that from a German person.
@@Feku13 Literal racism, ok mate
@@tyler9703 Not really, every German person I've met/spoken too was a fucking jackass so they self worked for their name
@@Feku13 Nope, still negative judgment based off of race. Quite simply the definition of racism.
@@tyler9703 It's based on my experience with German people and not baset on the race cuz im not black
The doggo was showing you his best, most favourite shoe, AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT!
He's a heartless monster.
pet the damn animal!!!
Tvbye. Omm
Hahahahaha
"Stop that!"
"Is he touching you as well?"
This is some TopGear brilliance
I imagined hamster and clarkson having that conversation
I read that in clarkson, hamsters and mays voices
The enthusiasm Alex has when looking around his Grandmothers house is so genuine and amazing. And I didn't know you could speak German too! What a great moment
He already spoke German in the videos racing the old Mercedes. You dont watch carefully. ;-)
@ Believe it or not, there are subscribers that haven't seen every single video. Sorry for not being up to your standards -_-
@@SiggsGBR Hey man take it easy. I either don't watch all the videos but those were very good actually (Retro Racing Project?).
It was adorable
Yes very nice to bring us with him.
A tall bloke a medium sized bloke and a child in one van.
I knew there was a reason this had a pleasant feel of 'good' episode of an old top gear challenge from way back
Two and a half man lol
Bless him. He’s not a child, he’s just been filmed in 4:3 and edited in 16:9.
🤣
@@johntankertson110 Top Gear was a Short Bloke, a Slow Bloke and an Orang Utan.
We need more of these road trip style videos in my opinion
John Coello such a massive feeling of old top gear, the new-ish guy is absolutely hilarious
Jord yes for sure
You're right man !!
21:39 "at least we'll be the first ones here" just sounded like something James May would say on old top gear
"I'm hungry, let's get german sausage"
*music sounds like porn music for a second*
Wat.
Not really porn music at all
Uuuuu incest
Timestamp lol?
@@tyler9703 19:38
@@CallumAtwal Holy shit lol
Car throttle is probably the best motoring channel on internet right now.
Thanks Farrukh! ❤️
Of course it is.
For me, they are sharing first place with mightycarmods but yeah, they are.
@@MrManniG MCM for the win... but this was very enjoyable.
Modern topgear
This felt like a grand tour special... I loved it.
Funny to see Alex speaking some German in this vid 😌
Ja redet der plötzlich einfach Deutsch xD
ja ist geil
ja hab mir erst gedacht wer da spricht :O
Er ist ja halb Deutscher, und mit der Sprache aufgewachsen :D
Didn't you watch the Mercedes videos a couple of months ago? There have been multiple videos where he spoke German. And considering he is speaking English most of the time, his German accent is really good.
Have to admit. ONE OF THE BEST CT VIDEOS EVER
Glad you liked it Andreas! 🙌
Car Throttle but, that’s not his name lmao
@@9wowable igazából nem is nagyon érdekel, hogy nem Andeas vagyok. Egy a lényeg: örülök a mindőségi videónak, ők meg hagy örüljenek, hogy valakinek tetszik🤷♂️
Wow, Alex speaks fluent German, that was bloody impressive. He doesn’t have a foreign accent when speaking English. That was impressive.
Why the BBC haven't got these guys doing Top gear is beyond me.
Not multicultural enough for the BBC I'm afraid
@@thomasf1531 true
Because they can be more successful working for themselves using youtube also fuck the bbc
@@Jk-oz5qn fair point 👍
The politics of the BBC would ruin the chemistry between these guys. Its just better if they stay how they are.
After watching them for years, im glad to see how far they have come.
This is literally top gear in 2019.
There needs to be more of these vans made today
Yes and they are much better for the environment and pollution. All those new cars that brake down often and full of platic and sensors. One vw combi is the same as 4 cars made after 2002.
Why? My one has only done 700 000km and went from Johannesburg to the Kaapse Kombi Kult Kamp-out last year and will be going to this year's.
VW seem to be intent on releasing a new van under the I.D. badge, and while it might not fully replace the charm of the classics I think it's a well-intended effort
@@daalhoffarm the old vans are far more polluting with a very unaerodynamic shape and only 4 gears
We just cant make ultra basic cars anymore, as seen with the mini. Once you have filled its boots with lead in the form of crumple zones, ABS, and various exhaust filters. What your left with is a converted vw transporter.
How incredibly nice of the German home owners of grannies place to show you around like that.
18:00 that's pretty epic that you know a second language and they let you in.
The owner knew his mom
All the Europeans are epic then.
"how many miles to the gallon do you think we're getting?"
*[absolutely does not answer the question]*
I have just searched the commend to see if it was just me who felt that was some bad editing haha! amazing video love this channel only just started watching them this week haha! love to find more channel like this deffo thing 2021 these lads need to be doing Top Gear
Hahaha that annoyed me too lol
Ours did 12 kilometers on 1 liter. But that was the best case scenario haha.
This is wholesome. Alex visiting his old place, a camping trip. I'll be damned if i don't do this at least once next year.
This comment didn’t age well
@@olliebonugli8881 as milk
"House Throttle" - coming to a screen near you. 👍🏻
Alex, Jack, Ethan and Mat Watson for Top Gear 2020 - maybe keep Chris Harris for really in depth videos on Top Gears CZcams
Dan Wigley yes apart from mat will poke them with a stick
I would love that
Why you want to downgrade this amazing channel to level of disgusting BBC and they sh** shows and brainwashing broadcasts?
"There used to be a big window here, ne?" dieses "ne?" rutscht mir auch immer raus wenn ich englisch spreche. 😆
I never knew that car throttle uploads on a Wednesday
Sometimes they don't 😊
Ahhh, Car Throttle.
Filling that Top Gear sized hole in all our lives!
"Ah! Badezimmer!" No idea why, but that line got me so good.
The tone of childlike wonder 🤣. I chuckled as well
Damn never knew about Alex' German roots. So weird to hear him talking basically perfect, fluent German.
Makes sense with the last name now!
His accent is really cute in german 😂 No homo
A German? *Speaking German* ?!?
The old Top Gear vibe is strong with this one. I love it.
"she has a.. well she's dead, She used to have a". Ethan: "ah"
12:28 that duck is straight vibin
Love the videos, you guys have great chemistry, feels like I'm watching Top Gear mk2
I grew up in one of these! Not the camper version, just the regular bus. My parents had 2 consecutive ones. Being one of six siblings (so a family of 8), it made a lot of sense. Very practical.
The title: living with a retro VW campervan.
The video: Alex reliving his youth in a VW campervan with 2 dudes.
Great vid lads.
- "Where's your hand?"
- "Between two pillows, why?"
- "They're not pillows!"
Face it guys this is the new top gear.......could not be more happier 😁😎😀
Needs a lot more sabotaging each other though
@@pgreg8528 next episode they should have a car each and turn it into dodgems
11:50 I genuinely was waiting for "Clarkson!!!!"
that family who now own the house are awesome people :) we can all learn a lesson from that act of kindness
I absolutly loved watching this video, just get to learn so much about alex, there is so much nostalgia in this video and just seeing someone retrief memories like that is absolutly heartwarming, this has serieus potential, possibly far beyond youtube
Grandmother's house visit was so wholesome
Sleeping in the middle of the bed you really need to be a good skier.
That sounds soooo wrong.
You guys are like the younger versions of Hammond, Clarkson and May. Which is nice to have people carrying on like this, 3 mates having fun. It is great!
I was at a classic campervan meet a couple years ago
They're so stylish and charming, modern campers don't even come close 💝💝💝
It's good to see these guys doing VW Campervan vids! Very good channel! Thank you! 🙌
Thanks for the feedback! 🙌
Love this episode of the Grand Tour
Can I recommend doing a fundraiser rally for Andrew. He may of passed away but his legend lives on. For those who don't know Andrew is the creator of driven to cure.
Since when is Car Throttle becoming wholesome content?!
Great video I'm so jealous. Van sounds like a lawn mower
There is a lack of Reggae music and joints in this video.
Exactly
Go to Dam and smoke it up bu.
Id pay good money to watch alex smoke a joint while talking about cars
@@martinkeeling960 hell yea at least tree fiddy $3.50
Please, 1964 models run on beer, dope, Isaac Asimov and Deep Purple. It's the bay windows that run on Uriah Heep :)
Oh mate? I don't know where to start? You have literally tugged at my life strings! The house visit was brilliant. My mum was Danish so used to visit grandparents like you did. My version was google maps recently to see the house I used to visit. VW's.......my life! I've had 13 old beetles, '56 oval, '63 faltdach, etc. 2 split campers, drove 11 hours to scotland from colchester and yes they are cold to sleep in, but totally reliable. I've had countless Golfs Mk1, 2, 4 and 5, Sciroccos, Passat Mk1, 2 and 3, polos, Now we have a New Beetle convertible to keep the VW thing going. Top video chaps! Cheered me up no end!
The energy this video has is wonderful, that trip looked like such a blast and you could really feel it.
What a welcome surprise after a very long day for me
Awesome episode mate, thanks for that!
Also, funny to see that iconic "Atomkraft Nein Danke"-Sticker in english :o)
This is one of the best car videos I have seen in months! Now this is the level of the golden years of Top Gear! Keep it up!
You know what, you guys..? Feel free to make these videos longer! They never ever get boring!! ^^
What an awesome video! thanks for the content guys, i needed this tonight :)
edit: We need some more of this
Dont think ive ever been this early to a car throttle upload
its very nice to see how youre slowly educating ethan about cars, he is slowly growing a passion for this
As a German living near Dortmund watching car throttle and jp performance collide is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen on this channel
Dang im german and i must say your german skills are on point haha!
Ethan: why didn't they just put a V8 in it ?? LOL :D
is everyone in germany really nice or something, that was very sweet of the owners of that house to let alex in with the cameraman to look at his grandmothers house.
The description of a german hearing about you going to Jp was actually pretty accurate. Love your videos, keep on doing this please. Definitely enjoy the content, love from Germany
Hey guys I just want to say Hello :) You and Top Gear...same passion about cars :)
Brilliant episode what we want to see, like top gear but younger and less scripted
Awww that’s sooo nice Alex they let you inside awesome.
I've been in Wolfsburg in May with my 64 beetle. I drove here from Italy. You have to see the Autostadt as well! Old VW's never die.
It is so weird hearing Alex talk german. =D
Also greetings from Leipzig, Germany. ^-^
Ich komm aus stuttgart
@@Yanicks_Garage Danke Yanick
Gruß aus Döbeln😂
"This is getting weird now" no was weird from the start! V funny
Incredible video! I feel like your channel is the best thing since top gear went downhill, nothing out there right now compares to the content you are putting out.. well done guys! Keep up the good work!
a trIp down memory lane is always awesome. Thumbs up!
Pop-up roof ...
They never used the pop-up roof ... suppose Alex is too short to need the extra headroom.
🤖
Is anyone else gitting top gear britain vibes??
As a split screen owner I love this film as it sums up perfectly how people feel after their first trip in a bus! Really enjoyable watch :)
Its so nice to see alex revisiting some childhood memories, you can see the pure joy on his face
23:12 I’ve seen one of these...I assumed they couldn’t get the parts to match the car from the junkyard...
They sold the harlequin in uk too, very rare now.
“How much MPG do you get”
“Yes”
He never did say, I too wonder what the gas mileage is.
@@Trainboy1EJR mine goes : 1600 twin port, 2000 metres altitude and about 90kmh gives 10-12 litres per 100km when tuned correctly :)
This video is awesome, please make more of that kind of stuff... good old "top gear trips / the grand tour vibe".
You share smiles and hapiness 🤗🥳 thank you for your amazing work
QUESTION: Guys, these CarThrottle "specials" are the best. Obvious from the comment section people like this a lot. It is being called "the new old Top Gear" quite a bit.
What is the main factor holding you back from making these specials/trips/stories longer or more complex? Is it budget? Time? Crew capacity?
Is there something the community could do to help you? Because we sure would like to see more.
Cheers, love you guys
12:04 just an upside down ussr emblem on a german car no big deal
East Germany influence am I right?
This may sound weird, but I really love how Germans talk, hearing Alex talk fluently makes me smile
My dad had a VW campervan and in 1973 (!) our family of 4 went from Pakistan to the west coast of Ireland. On the return leg, we also had 3 family friends join us. So that was 2 families of 7 people. I still remember parts of that trip to this day with fondness
This was really cool to watch. Loved every minute of it. Alex speaking fluent German was the reveal of the year.
Alex: "I don't think I've ever had to work so hard to get something moving in one direction."
You sure about that?
I think Phil was harder
I remember playing Gran Turismo 5, modding the VW Bus for 15hp, adding maximum weight and doing a lap of the Nurburgring, I think it took over a half hour XD. Good times! I had the transmission set to automatic, so I was a few minutes slower than my friend, who was smart enough to use manual transmission, to keep it at max rpm.
I would die to win the car litterally my dads dream car cant imagine hoe happy i would be
Visiting Alex's granny house was very funny and nice, it put a smile on my face. Also, very kind people living there. Have a wonderful day
100% My favourite car throttle video. This was the vid that got me into the channel, revisiting after a year. Such a great adventure!
''before heading to my hometown of Bad Pyrmont''
Wait, is Alex german?
Which half?... Lol
Of course
lol
His mom is German, his dad is a Brit.
@@kbatzler the bottom half.. since the top half is not there ;)
"There used to be a big window here, ne?"
Funny to hear as a german
Jan Tenbrock 🤣
Somehow missed this when it came out... watching during lockdown and it’s put such a big smile on my face! Great work!
This is TV gold, you need to replicate this 10 fold. Such a good watch, especially Alex's visit.
Honestly id prefer the bus they road tripped over the one that Omaze is giving away.
Living in the Balkans, most of the museum "relics" are still daily driven and seen on the roads lmao.
Eh sirotinjo i bogu si teska
@@AA21397 ? Aj reci kolko si ih prvi put vidio i gledao ko oni ko tele u sarena vrata. Evo mogu ti reci odmah da su u Zagrebu registrirani i vidim ih dnevno Harlekin i onaj zeleni Bus (samo ne Cabrio), valjda ne trebam vise nabrojavati i pogledati ponovo
@@chickeyy1792 da da i ja po zg vidim harlekin i corrado al ne vr6 nazalost hahh
Reminds me so much of old Top Gear, really funny but good information throughout. Loved every minute of it!
This feels sooo old Top Gear, i just love it! Please, do more videos like this!
TIL, Alex is German :o that would explain his always on point German pronounciations :D
I think that they all secretly hate each other
This was the best from you guys! What a fun little film!
I have a 1972 Bay window, and I spent 6 months travelling Europe in it. Best time of my life and I'm going to road trip to Rome next summer!
