Deal… Hold out your hand!
Going to try make it in my shed 😅
Because more £'s , That Simple.
Can’t wait, as long as my exhaust doesn’t drop off mid way.
Loved the episode, I only started my channel about my multi colour Punto HGT in June and it’s been a fun ride so far. Still in the bootstrap phase, which is expensive but I’m learning a lot of new skills.
I'm coming with my shitbox, old ratty galaxy camper simple conversion
Big up to Mike brewer for giving you the financial confidence to steer your own path👍👍👍
‘Awight mate? Own channel? ‘Old aat yer annd and I’ll caver ye for a few grannnnnddd’
- cockney walk away -
That was a pretty big ball play by Mike, respect
You lot think he did this for free? Out of the goodnuss ov is own art? He’s a used car dealer FFS.
@@exgtt2061do you have the money to take a risk ... Doubt it you fanny
'old out your 'and
Having Rory and Taylor on the channel, is the perfect mix, and you guys are crushing it. Love the content and really enjoying and looking forward to the next vid.
The car throttle guys were so NPC boring .
Love Taylor on the channel its not often I laugh out loud.
@@doubleL_S Ethan and Jack are great.
@@aye3678 they're not. They're boring !!
@@doubleL_S No need to curb Ethan and Jack.. Ethan and Jack are great guys! The only problem is like Alex said that they're bound to more rules of higher ups. Because Alex's channel doesn't have to answer to higher ups vids can be more "chaotic and fun" at times.
I think the main thing that people were initially concerned about was if the split from Car Throttle was amicable. Now it's widely known that there isn't bad blood, people should move on and learn to appreciate both Auto Alex and Car Throttle co-existing. Both channels put out great content.
Nice to see someone being positive about both channels. Always weird to see the number of people that have to drag one down in order to elevate the other. I'm just happy I have now twice the silly car content I did before!
I agree, immediatley after he left there was a while where Car Throttle didn't have great content, but there recent buy & restore series have been very good and they now have a 3rd person which balances it nicely. But even if someone doesn't like something - fine, don't watch it, lifes too short to whine about it!
Exactly, for people who like Car Throttle and Auto Alex it's a win-win situation. Double the content.
This was my main concern. I'm glad there was no drama. Also the two channels have unique content and it's nice to pick based on what you're in the mood for
Auto Alex is 10000% better than wherever he cane from fax
The moral of the story is Alex: Taylor and Rory are the other pillars in this enterprise you’re building. Don’t just make them employees, make them partners, or one day they will inevitably move on to do their own thing.
Is a CarThrottle x AutoAlex crossover video a possibility for the future? Im imaging the old Top Gear episodes where it would be TG UK vs TG AUS etc, I think a CarThrottle (Ethan, Jack, Edwin) VS AutoAlex (Alex, Taylor, Rory) video or series would be a lot of fun. I understand if it’s not something you are looking at doing, but was curious to ask
We (me, Rory and Taylor) said EXACTLY the same thing last week!
@@Autoalexv2 yes! Do some sort of challenge with the Car Throttle guys and your team!
That said, it is a bit of a bummer to hear that your time as a CT freelancer has also ended. But i do still watch the CT videos. I think Jack took over the "main presenter" role pretty well.
Something that ends with the losers taking a cold bath in the sea or a lake 😊
@@Autoalexv2 have you ever been personal friends with Jack and Ethan? If yes, are you still friends?
This would be so amazing, I'd watch the heck out of that!
single handedly the best move you've made on youtube aside from being part of he other channel to start with. the next best decision after going solo, was getting with taylor.. legitimately the best married couple on the platform.
i've even stopped watching their content since, you were the reason why i even watched it at all.
I shed a tear mate. Thank you for everything you did for me can honestly say it was some of the best days of my life. Its because of you that I'm where i am now. Its not been easy and I've faced some serious challenges. what you did was the catalyst for me to finally get my career back, get accommodation where I'm not reliant on having to share with some down right awful human beings just so i can afford rent. And its put me in a position where i can highlight the reality of homelessness and work alongside several charities speaking at conferences and advising on how their services are delivered. I never imagined 100's of people would want to sit and listen to me speak about my experience and want my advice on tackling the issue of homelessness. Thank you
And....
Thank god you went solo! Such an amazing channel, you guys are doing an amazing job
Would love to hear Rory and Taylors stories of how they ended up as part of the AutoAlex family please!
You're an inspiration, Mr Kersten (and team)! Here's to lots more amazing content on your channel 👏🏼
BIG UP CINCH 😘
Alex, starting your own channel was probably the best thing you did. Having Taylor and Rory as co hosts makes the chemistry between you guys amazing. My favourite car channel about. Period. I dare say it is almost near the original top gear with hamster, mr slowly and CLARKSON!.
So glad you made the switch to your own channel mate. I've loved every video from the first one. Keep up the great work lads and much love from Northern Ireland 👍
It was You and Mighty Car Mods that actually pushed me to start making my own videos - you're a cracking presenter and a great influence to the car community. Thanks for the great content ❤
I enjoyed car throttle very much, but the main reason was Alex. Not taking anything away from the other guys. And I’m glad you made the switch, your new channels will grow to above and beyond. Well done mate
The reason for me why I never watched car throttle was because of Alex, He was so annoying and acted like a braindead. The channel is much better now and their content is fire lately
You never watched car throttle because of Alex, yet you're here watching videos on his second channel?
Something doesn't add up.
I’ve always been a fan of Mike Brewer. Big on him in offering you support. Great to see him helping others.
Alex, I’ve followed you for a long time man, (virtually, not physically, calm down). From the minute you started your own channel I made sure to follow, watch all your vids as they come out. As a die hard car guy it’s basically therapy for my soul.
I’m now subbed to the podcast too, great to see you return to the format.
Speaking of which, enjoyed the launch episode. Look forward to more
It's no coincidence or luck, you can see the genuine hard graft that goes into your content and amazing people around you. Love watching the videos! Keep smashing it! Also, the pep talk has spurred me to do something of my own, so thank you.
Not like grafting for years to become a plumber tho
I'm a 68yr old expat living in New Zealand, thoroughly enjoy watching all your posts, keep up the good work 👏
AutoAlex video day is my fave day at the week. Congrats on the success so far and keep it up lads 🙌🏼
Please keep it up, you guys have that element of fun that keeps it fun but factual at the same time... I respect your decisions to start the channel and I can only see you all growing into one of the most popular car shows out there.
I solely blame you for my car addiction being as bad as it is. Been here since 2 guys 1 car and will continue to support for years to come.
Inspirational car guy to us all!
Side note. I beg this is the return of the podcasts
Podcasts are here to stay :)
@@Autoalexv2can we get It on Google podcast?
I love how candid and honest this is. Behind the fun and the adventures there’s three guys there making a dream happen and it’s nice to see behind the curtain.
Would you mind uploading the full podcast to CZcams? I've checked the links in the description but its only Spotify, Apple and Amazon. Cheers!
Great stuff, keep it up Alex, you and the team disserves all the success you get!
And we're all so glad you did mate! 1 Million subscribers on the main channel soon...
Would be good if you could upload the full versions on here.
I would definitely listen to this driving to work and back.
So much respect for what you guys have pulled off here, was great seeing you all last weekend and hopefully see yous again at shedfest if I can fix my shed in time.
Congratulations on the huge success, I feel the dynamic you three have is brilliant and keep up the great work.
This channel has certainly raised the bar. Although I do miss the chemistry with the other lads, the chemistry is just as good with Rory & Taylor. Some of the cars, road trips, adventures and builds have been crazy and brilliant in equal measure. Keep up the good work. It’s great to see and witness your journey from CT to AA. 😊
The chemistry used to be good but if I'm honest Rory and Taylor seem to have a better link with the sort of content Alex wants to make. I just love Taylor, he's just such a laugh
So glad to see all of this worked out! Loving everything y’all do here. Cheers lads!
I really like this format :) especially on a second channel where it doesn"t "pollute" (for lack of a better word) the main content.
Having Taylor and Rory with you is a blessing especially Taylor that man is golden on camera.
Alex, I grew up near you in West London and have been watching you on for about 7 years, you've taught me loads about the automotive industry and cars and you should be so proud for all your success. Keep smashing it bro 👌
I'm really happy how things turned out and it's a joy to follow you and the lads on your quests and journeys. I sense this is just the start 🤩
Much Love for Alex and the crew and I'm super happy your channel has been a success!
You got lovely genuine people around you Alex! All the videos resonate really well with us viewers. Onwards and upwards!
You have such a genuine, great dynamic that you are so fun to watch. Buzzing there's a pod now too! 😁
So happy the podcast is back , love you guys in fact you are the only channel I have notifications set for
Been loving your channel so much, been here since day 1 and was watching Car Throttle for years! I love the chemistry you Taylor and Rory have together, you guys are without a doubt making the best car content on CZcams! Will be listening to the full podcasts, would really love if there were also uploaded as a video too!
I’m glad you took the risk and it paid off, but also so great to surround yourself with great people who have made it a team 😊
Thank you for giving such a frank and honest answer to the first question ... so refreshing!!
Only found you guys 3 months ago and just love your channel. The content is great but the chemistry between you three is brilliant. I see the similarities to top gear but that’s a good thing as it was an incredible series. I think your channel will grow and grow and I hope you all keep your feet on the ground. You all work so well together love it.
Keep it going lads, love all the content made. It's all intertaining.
I immediately subscribed to the podcast. Way to go and happy days, Alex & co.!
Well done Alex, you're doing the right thing going it alone and being able to do what you want to do and a master of your own destiny. Was great to meet you and Rory at the British Motor Show last Thursday and look forward to the channel continuing to grow.
You guys have the kind of chemistry which makes viewing fun. Taylor in particular, is an absolute hero!
Way to go Alex, so glad its working for ya. Love the channel. Cheers!
Well done. The channel is great and has really got me through the crap parts of life. I wish the timing for the weekend was better so I can shake your had too. But not possible this year. Keep being you, a fantastic presenter.
TY, wishing you every success! 🙏🙏
Rock on lads. I've enjoyed your work so far. And thanks to Mike Brewer for his wise words of encouragement and the support he offered.
Great Stuff! Glad to see what adventures are next!
I am truly inspired to follow my dreams and this video has reaffirmed what I have been planning now for a few months. Maybe you don't realise how much of an impact this is having on my life, so thank you Alex! I hope you keep growing and keep up with your work, it clearly means a lot to a lot of people
Would love anorher snippet of both Rory and Taylors backstory too....for those who dont have time to watch a full Podcast 👍
will make sure we get their stories in forthcoming pods
Love the Shure Sm7bs. Sound so good in that big echoey room. Looking forward to seeing this podcast progress. well done lads!
Fantastic content Alex and never gets stale. Great presenting as always and a joy to watch, it's good to laugh and smile throughout each episode.
I have to say that Taylor seems such a genuine, kind person and you him are like the modern day Clarkson and may in terms of chemistry on screen.
Kudos
You did well, Rory and Taylor make it a trio of brilliance! Well done! 12 years ago I was frustrated about being employed and started my own taxi Business! Up and up guys!
You have created a great team that works well together. Keep up the hard work guys.
Great content & a great team you have - so relatable for any Petrolhead, that’s the winning formula you have found. Keep it going 👏🏻
I am one off you're early followers. You and the guy's are my favourite's on you-tube. I am looking forward to every episode just like i did when top gear was on. How awsome is you tube and that everybody can make great content! thanks for everything and keep on going. greetings from the Netherlands. Rob
Proud of you Alex, glad to see you didn’t settle for part of the spotlight you earned your own place here on CZcams. Well done 🎉
Awesome work!!! Keep pushing forward
Alex, thank you for returning to the podcasts. I love simply listening to you guys, some thoughts about cars, some jokes, best content. Thank you!
I’ve watched CZcams for quite a while now but have to say your channel is by far my favourite with the perfect blend of everything and I think everyone can relate to things that happen to your cars. You have the perfect blend with Rory and Taylor too!!! Keep up the amazing work and be very very proud of yourself in what you have achieved
You 3 together are the next best thing to the old top gear we all grew up with on tv, keep it up alex taylor and rory
Love the content on both channels!
Its such a fun channel. You guys bounce off each other so well and its such entertaining and easy watching.
You guys put so much fun into this channel it's amazing
Dudes i'm 60 and only a couple of months ago got in to your Chanel and i love it ,i suffer with M/E i have loved car shows for all that time, enjoy yourselves and you will and are making great content.I drive a mx5 and simply love it, when Alex took one round the ring fantastic .
All 3 of you - love you guys. Keep on being yourselves and doing what you enjoy.
Much as I enjoyed the three of you on Car Throttle, the content you are making now with Taylor and Rory is fantastic - some of the funniest car content I’ve seen on YT - keep it going - the new formula is working well!
Just great to genuinely nice people that are fun, passionate, and petrolheads make entertaining content. Really pleased it’s worked out, and never thought the number of subscribers would add pressure.
Spill the tea girlll been waiting on you to do this
I Love the bond you and Mike have. I met him at Beaulieu motor museum and he is such a nice bloke. He is a gem of the car world
Thanks for actually including the title question as the first question in the video, just wanted to know whats up with that
WOW!!! I had no idea that's how it went down! Thank you for explaining!
Awesome, just listened to whole podcast on Spotify, first podcast I've ever listened to, great work! Also when you get rid of the S4 I would love it 🤞
Good on you. It is nice to have your own name on the thing you spend your life on instead of someone else's.
Timing seems to be pretty good too. And of course great content
Had been waiting for it for years
Followed you from your first video. Alex your approach humour and content is second to none. I love the way you put personalities around the cars you buy "big Pete" may be a production tool but it features in the whole set up and provides a character in its own right. The bike mix as a biker also adds to a great channel...brilliant keep up the good work...The Team makes it all wotk..
Watched the video and then went straight over to listen to the full podcast. Great content, love the humble aspect of the stories but with the usual banter! Looking forward to future episodes…
Thanks!
I really enjoy when you as a team talk so freely, the talk is with a heart and deep love for cars and everything automotive. The dicking about in videos is entertaining, for me though it is these kind of chats that suck me in, it proves you are not just a 'personality'.
Amazing content always look forward to your vids never boring keep it up it's good Rory is coming more into the vids and Taylor is a absolute diamond comedy gold!!
Great that the podcasts will be on CZcams too!!🥰
Fantastic channel brilliant content and a great laugh watching your madcap adventures. Well done boys 🙌🏻
Loving it! Please keep up the great work and cool content.
Glad for the clarification mate
Yes! So happy this is on Spotify!
It was a good move to leave when you did, for all the reasons you stated, and I'm really glad that the channel's worked out as you hoped it would. It's made some great content, Rory and Taylor are both brilliant and complement your character well, and as a biker I of course enjoy the sporadic bike content. Keep it all coming, and keep up the good work. Well done.
IT’S FINALLY HERE! Been waiting for you to come back to the world of podcasts! Got a nice long drive coming up this Friday so you should be perfect company for about a third of that journey 😂
I understand the personal reasons for it but I ain't gonna lie, I do miss Alex, Ethan and Jack clowning around in videos together. The trio worked really well together. I probably watch a lot less of both channels (Car Throttle & Autoalex) now but glad both still exist.
I just watched you for past years.. long time.. never really thought twice if the channel was yours or not :)
You are unique and genuinely fun to watch.
Works fine for me cause now we have 2 excellent car-focused YT channels instead of just one.
CT is still superb, as is Autoalex - Everyone wins.
Appreciate you being this open about making your own channel.
I subscribed the moment I saw your first video. I'm so glad you didn't give up, car throttle was brilliant but there was always such a gap between videos. What you do and post now is my dream buying cars at prices we can all relate to messing about with them or fixing them upto sell .I often hold off on watching your new videos because I know as soon as I watch them I will be on ebay or Facebook marketplace looking to buy something. It was great to meet you at the last mattwood too
Congratulations guys very happy for you. I do miss Jake and Ethan in the video's. 🎉
You guys are brilliant, perfect trio! I enjoy every video you guys put out and you inspire me to do bigger things for my self, well done lads your smashing it. Bring on shedfest!😎
Loved listening to the entire podcast on Spotify. Please upload the podcast every week and not a fortnight
Great seeing you host at the British motor show!
What a genuine and honest response!! Keep going!
Really interesting to listen to. Nice to see the serious side of it and what happens behind the scenes. Rory seems really knowledgeable about CZcams and the business side
