Nothing wrong with high mileage - by definition the car must be pretty good, and had sufficient care and attention, just to become one. Use mine every day in peak hour commuting, 300km a week. Love it.

    I drive a mk5 gti and it’s my pride and joy, I was passenger in the car for 2 years before i bought it. Walked to work and back for 6 months and saved most of my monthly minimum wage pay to buy it.
    The car is one of the few things that really makes me happy and although now 5 years later I have been in a very bad situation,the car is falling apart and roof being complete destroyed with laquer peel I’m scared to lose it, although I cannot upgrade it right now it lights me up inside just like you mentioned in this video and I have a strong sentimental attachment to it. So this video really connected with me! Once again man a big well done and congratulations and keep up the great work you guys. Please keep the content coming! Kind regards, Dan.

    So pleased for you.
    I had a 993 Carrera 2 in 1995 when living in Germany. What a car! I had a commute that had a short stretch of unrestricted Autobahn on the way home. Changing down from 6th to third and running it from 60mph to 150mph was a daily occurrence. That chainsaw howl from the aircooled engine was intoxicating. Trying to drive it on summer tyres in the snow was quite amusing too - more time looking out the side windows than the windscreen...

    As a 1996 993 C2 owner (who does his own maintenance) the typical leaks are doable. The lower valve cover gaskets are the usual culprit coz they leak onto the heat exchangers. Timing chain covers and varioram resonace valve are other potentials. Also don't overlook some pillock who didn't tighten the smaller oil filter properly. Good luck!

    • @oibal60
      @oibal60 Před 3 měsíci +1

      @methaniel Possible. However, I'd first check the age and condition of the three 'fan belts' (drive belts). If even one is iffy, you should replace all three. I've done this myself. Actually when they have all three off, and can thus spin the alternator freely, THAT will surely indicate the condition of the bearings, housing etc.

    Hands down Alex you have achieved what some of us can only dream of. The happiness in your face and voice says it all, and gives me joy just witnessing your progress. I can say that we are all waiting for plenty more videos from this. And of course a must on that mountain climb in 2nd and 3rd gear 😅, after you fix that oil leak of course

    The panel filter bs had me laughing. Gotta keep the sponsor happy but i wanna see a dyno run with it vs a new OEM filter or it's lies!

      Agreed, once they are washed and re-oiled by someone with a heavy hand it will soon gum up the mass air flow sensor and cause a whole world of trouble 😬

    Congratulations Alex, like many have said in the comments " you deserve it mate "
    You truly do mate. Enjoy and keep do you mate. You truly are an inspiration to so many. Even this grumpy old man. I thank you and the WHOLE team for fantastic times and good laughs with what has become for many of us as our home.

    Couldn’t have happened to a better person, I’ve been watching since the days of Phil having his rust repaired. I can say that your videos are the reason I’ve ended up with the wacky, bunch of cars I currently own. Me and all my car friends of similar age have watched yourself since we were in school. Thank you for being such and inspiration

    This takes me back to the days when I was 10 years old and playing NFS Porsche... same unique sound, can't believe how great that game was and it looks like every bit of it in reality as it was in the game. Well done Alex for achieving this milestone

    This is honestly the best car related video I’ve ever seen on CZcams. The music, the cinematography, the editing it’s all 👌 Your words as well Alex are spot on we truly don’t know how long we’ve got left so life is for living. Keep up the amazing work!

    I have to say, the cinematography is beautiful, I am guessing Rory, has done a fantastic job. Some of the best video content I have seen on CZcams in ages, well done mate! Also gorgeous car Alex, Nigel has a similar shade of red to Phil's Mazda Soul Red.

    Congrats Alex! Hearing you talk about your dream car while driving it at a rapid clip through the mountains is truly incredible, and everything you said echoes how I felt buying my own long-term dream car last year. The sound of a flat 6 that you've waited so much of your life to control is a truly special feeling (as I found out 6 months ago myself, a 3.3L unit in the front); I hope yours gives you many more trouble-free miles! Great car with a great personal story behind it; that's what it's all about, isn't it?

    I still remember the drive home when I bought my first Porsche which was a 1990 964 Carrera 2 back in 2010?. I called up one of my best friends and said, "listen to this!" and the let him hear the wroom wroom noises. The fun about that was that I live in Sweden and he then lived in Tasmania. Congats Alex, automotive thereapy is definatly a valid treatment !

    Congratulations on this huge achievement! In my childhood a guy had one in the same exact color and I loved it so much. The video itself is perfect, brings back memories of the old top gear. Can't wait to see what the projects are for it.

  • @hippo319
    @hippo319 Před 3 měsíci

    My childhood dream car was the 300zx, I sat in one in a showroom when my Grandad picked up his new Sunny. I bought myself a 300zx 18 years later and loved every minute, driving it or just staring at it.

    Well done Alex, owning a 993 myself I know exactly how you feel hitting 6k rpm!! There’s no feeling like it and the perfect car for British roads.. Well done and congrats 👏🏼 Would love to see a series of you doing it up and making your own version of a 993!!

  • @JasonCampbell-xb5qi
    @JasonCampbell-xb5qi Před 3 měsíci

    Congratulations Alex on getting the dream car. Can tell by your voice that’s a man in love. Dreams can indeed be achieved. I built my way up from a £250 Skoda fabia to one of my dream bikes. Not everyone’s idea of a dream bike but ticked all the boxes for myself. Work hard play harder build up those dreams in to reality. Love the camaraderie between yourselves. Look forward to many more videos.

  • @BMW1M
    @BMW1M Před 3 měsíci

    Massive congrats Alex! 💪
    My dream/unobtanium car was the BMW 1M.
    Ever since I watched Clarkson drive it back in TG S17E01 back in 2011, I just couldn't get it out of my head. It was everything I had every wanted in a car - small and light, sharp front end, big power, awesome handling and RWD.
    Fast forward 9 years, and through flipping up I finally got one.
    And I loved it.
    And I still love it.
    And I'll never sell it.
    Do meet your heroes - if they are an awesome car, or an awesome person!

    A video, without Taylor, that made me entirely forget about Taylor until the very, very end. Well done Alex. You're an absolute star. Please, please don't ever lose touch with this channel or how it's represented. I love this a LOT!

    Congratulations, you definitely deserve it👏 There's nothing like that feeling of getting "The Dream Car" after many years waiting and thinking that maybe I'll be impossible with the prices going up. I did the same 3 months ago, I've bought my S2000, I can't imagine ever selling it, it's not the car, it's the dream, you can't sell a dream...

  • @xXBeefyDjXx
    @xXBeefyDjXx Před 3 měsíci

    It goes without saying that any true petrolhead will have that one legendary car in their eyes, and to achieve the goal of owning one is just something else!

    Best video yet for me anyway. I have had a 997 for 10 years and agree with everything you said about the 911. Love that you have a high mileage one too so as to prove longevity

    Was it only me at the end of the video expecting to cut back into the studio, people sitting around clapping and cheering and in the middle sits Alex and Jeremy Clarkson 🙈
    That end of the video was like a movie. Proper Top Gear vibes.
    Happy for you Alex! Keep building your dreams and never give up on them! Respect

    The most honest unscripted channel on the Tube for sure! Happy for you and it shows through your gratitude that you appreciate all things and people who support you and let me just say I've bought more than one 200k plus car in the past and they were some of the best cars I owned. Current high milage car is a 2001 Audi A4 1.8T quattro manual for my 1st born son. He will be getting his permit in few months this year, we both enjoy your channel and the content you guys create. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Chicago. ✌️ Enjoy that car.
