I've never seen Brown move so fast 🤣🤣🤣
even after Taco Bell?
The car color or Freddie?
The fn2 looks much better in milano red
😂Brownda😂
Between all 3 cars I'd take the fabia it's a pd every one love's a pd
Ben is tearing around the track so calmly just having a chat as if going to get groceries, whilst Freddy is holding on with a huge grin just trying to take in what is a dream.
Rewatched that part a few times, living that experience through him.
That part was incredible. Read this comment while watching the earlier part of the vid, awaiting when the Stig would pop up and do what you said and man, he did it 👏
This UK-US thing you've been doing with Alex and Matt is really, really cool and fresh. I wanna see those guys go there and do a cheap car challenge in the US! 😂
Great idea 💡.......
Freddie has done quite a few of them in the US with this mates. If you search his channel.
@@shorey66 yes, I've watched the Cartrek series. I was talking about this exchange these guys have been doing lately; Fred buying an E36 M3 in the UK, allowing Matt to use his place to fix the GT3, this challenge and even showing up at BOM's Project Binky. It'd be also nice to see the Mighty Car Mod guys joining in for some challenges and experiences.
@@shorey66 well yea but have the uk blokes go do it, buy a 2k car and go coast to coast or something
I absolutely love Freddy doing stuff in the UK, he just seems to totally get our sense of humour.
One of us, one of us…
I'm fairly sure he's a mixture of every ethnicity and nationality already so can adapt to anywhere. The ultimate cosmopolitan man.
I think also the fact that he's been raised by top gear UK shows
😅
Agreed!
@@drunkenhobo8020 Yeah I was wondering what he is since apparently he speaks Russian too hahaha
The Stig is unbelievable. Driving that car to it's absolute God given hard limits while holding a calm, interesting conversation is hilarious.
this has got to be most of our dreams coming true through Freddy... i have never felt the phrase living vicariously through someone more than this haha
This is clearly the highlight of the video. Tuvarish can barely speak and he's just casually chatting on. Stig is obviously feeling out the limits of the car - not pushing by his respects and that is just jaw dropping to your average driver (even one who likes fixing cars and makes/watches youtube vids). Best part of the video and makes the whole thing (I mean the rest was OK but somewhat dribbly and drawn out as you would expect on a 2ndary channel).
The Peugeot rcz r is the best car ever
Ben Collins looks so relaxed while ripping that thing around. Great content!
He might be high lol
He doesn't like to be slower, that bugged him 😂 Looked almost pissed of 😠
When you race cars, some of the fastest cars in the world, all your life, something like this is like riding a tricycle, just comes naturally, and it's easy to become relaxed in a low power car.
He really is though. This is a walk in the park to him.
He is just a professional.
Ben Collins is such a humble guy, I've never seen him be anything other than modest when people talk about Top Gear, and I know (because I follow the series) that Ben was racing in the Praga Cup here in the UK for the last couple of years, which are essentially baby LM prototypes and he definitely still has his touch.
Definitely looked like a bucket-list moment, looks like even the UK weather was kind to you, hope we get to see on these shores again, perhaps even for meet-ups events.
as a fellow FN2 owner from Australia i loved your reaction to how much fun they are to drive! your car may not have been the fastest but it still put a big smile on your face! and that's half the fun of driving
That’s all the fun! If it makes you smile what more could you need?
I have no idea why they are hating on this car so much! I would love to get my hands on one of these! 150K on the clock for a Civic is just broken in.
Tis just British piss taking. Mocking ourselves and others.
@@UwU-pk6nvthey're lighter than the past several years of type Rs.
@Ash thought the same until I saw one with mugen kit, one of the sickest looking civics made
Coz these so called car enthusiasts in this generation will hate GREAT cars in general. Great cars = hate automatically nowadays lol. Until now, HONDA still get a lot of hate mainly because of the FACT that Hondas small engines are strong and tuner friendly.
It gets a lot of hate because it's in many ways a worse car than its predecessor. The EP3 Type R had the same power, it weighs considerably less and it still has independent rear suspension while this one switched to torsion beam suspension to reduce costs. All the Type R models after that were heavier still, but they at least had the engine power to match and, while their design was in many ways questionable, the aero was very much functional.
So much love for Freddy.…
The amount of love + attention he’s given some of the UK TH-camrs is commendable
You think that being from the UK means they are beneath him?
@@groomys67 no but American TH-camrs and UK TH-camrs don't tend to collab very often and most Americans don't know about many UK TH-camrs
The Peugeot rcz r is the best car ever
Being in a car driven by the stig, THE STIG himself has to be a check off the bucket list man. So awesome!
Having watched Tavarish first and then Mat. Seeing them together and forming the friendship they have, honestly makes me so happy. The combo we never knew we needed😅
Please try to get Ben Collins somehow involved in next CarTrek. The Top Gear vibes would be through the roof.
YES
@25:48 this is the look you get when someone else is driving and doing things you didn't think the car could do. Ben is so much fun to watch drive, this would definitely be a bucket list item for me as well...having the Stig drive me around the track, act nonchalant and scare me at the same time.
Ah I loved those passenger laps with Ben Collins, so cool to see Freddy so genuinely excited and fangirling!
I bought a 2010 civic si out of the show room with 9km on it. Today I am still driving that car ….. it now has 530000 km on it. It has never left me by the side of the road and have had no major work done to it.
I'm with you on this, Freddy. I love this generation of civic. Though I might be biased since technically it's a childhood dream of mine.
Same, I had one for years and loved it.
This was a good looking Civic. Much nicer than the current generation!
I have one for years now and can’t get rid of it..😅❤️
The 1st time I saw one of these I just thought Cylon, from Battlestar Gallatica, still do, love it!
It is incredible to see how relaxed a seasoned race car driver is behind the wheel. They have already seen it all so calm as can be.
I love how calm Ben Collins is talking as he’s driving the ass off that car what a legend.
I hated the fact it got so much hate on Alex's channel, I absolutely love my fn2, the first honda I've owned, started a channel in the hopes of boosting it one day. And the bronze when it's polished is a stunning colour. The last true type r before the took away vtec and added a turbo.
the fn2 is one of the most underrated slept on cars around ive had a fn2 with a ecotec remap to 230bhp mugen body kit miltec stainless catback exhaust a hks air intake for just over a year now and its one of the most fun for the money cars ive ever had with these mods its just a beast of a car and a boat load of fun !!!😄
Was thinking of getting one but heard the ride is very tough? I'm an old fart so don't want to be pogosticking up the road at 8,500 rpm 😂
You are right. I have challenged all my friends to "find" a better all round, fun, practical, cheap, reliable, good looking sports car. All have failed 😅
@@cmc6040 I had an fn2 for almost 9 years, yes its a rough ride but its also a very fun car to drive. Swings and roundabouts.
@@Highlander1518 thanks for the reply 🙂👍
Freddy. Don't listen to the haters. I like the Honda too! It looks like a cross between Honda and the space ship from "flight of the navigator". That is a deep cut reference that I will be amazed if anyone gets here. That Dash is WICKED unique.
I could watch a whole channel of just Ben Collins giving honest reviews of people’s “builds”. With his accent and experience it would be like a “Hell’s Test Drive”.
Freddy's expression while Ben looks like he's driving the track at Tomorrowland @ Disney! Priceless!!
A 160k mile civic, even a non-R, from that era sells for like 3-5x the price here lol. Barely broken in is right. Especially a type r. Nice grab, always good to see more JDM vehicles, I hoped you make it a killer build! (If you could take it back... Buy one stateside and compare! Then make it insane)
Seriously, I wish I could buy one of these for roughly 3k. I'd rip this thing to 200k
About 10 years ago I was looking for my first car I only had £500 first I bought a 2005 Peugeot 206 sport it was great until it went bang I got it from a car dealer so he took it back he just got a 1995 1.2 civic so he replaced the 206 with it I got it for £500 and &300 for a new gearbox . I sold it last year for £5000
Not to mention if you throw some bolt one and a tune your looking at 240hp and 160lbtq from 197 and 139 and tons of midrange gains with lowered VTEC very stout for a 2.0l
The Renault Megane RS is still better with a proper chassis, the F4rt engine is super reliable too. Honda is a clown company they have to cheat and lie with their highly modify car to beat the Megane Rs on the Nurb.
Dam i picked up a 1 owner tidy red one in 2014 for £4.5k with 50,000 miles on. Sold it after getting sick of the economy as a daily when driven carefully
Loved seeing Ben in this vid! Glad to see your energy back up. Hope most days are like that for you!
Did that guy basically called Mat a yobbo?
The stig is a legend! I’m incredibly jealous that you got to ride along with basically our(collective) childhood hero. Nice to see you having fun, bud. Can’t wait to see what the p1 has in store for you, and hopefully the other way around.
awesome as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along
Alex is definitely one of my favourite TH-cam stars. Just says what ever comes to his head 😅
Great video! Come back to the UK soon! Love the content, and I hope the good people of this country treated you well!
Great video! Loved watching you and the Stig!
Oddly enough, those are my favorite bodystyle civic. They drive well, and I like the way they look.
The tranquility during the overall lap when you can hear the car is full send. AWESOME!
Stig commenting the car while driving the shit out of the car and Freddy having the best time ever... Perfect times
"If you get confused I can shift for you" 🤣🤣🤣 for how THE BEN COLLINS.
Just loving your stuff, so glad you and Matt have been doing work together 👍
omg!! the dry comedy between you and Ben🤭🤣....... we need a series with you 2 100%
Love seeing tavarish uploading more content in the UK.. or though the civic he brought realistically is only worth a grand tops! Definitely want to see Freddy visit shmee’s shmuseum.. that would be truly awesome. 😎
I just watched the track day, wow you 4 are brilliant, keep up the good work.
I love the FN2 - such crazy design yet very different which appeals to me so much. Really great video Tavarish and awesome to see you in the UK.
miss my old fn2, owned many cars with much more power yet non of them put smile on my face like the Fn
1:37 I can't be the only detailer that's heart skipped a beat, Instant scratches.
Thanks. Been wondering what the stig is been up to, subbed and enjoying
This is amazing!!! Top work man! I’ve always been uncertain of Alex sometimes he’s great some times a little annoying but the three of you Just work!! I’m in!! Subscribed!
Every time you and 2 other people of similar interests get together it always ends up being like a top gear episode in some or the other form
Can never go wrong with a Type R.
Hondas FTW 😎
This video is quality, it is great to see a collaboration with you, Alex and Matt. May be you could have a car trek adventure in the uk.
LOve these behind the scenes so far. HOpe that youll carry it on as its great to get more of you to watch
Ben, one hand on the wheel
Freddie, two hands gripping the seat
Love it
That car looks great. Much better than the new ones IMO.
I'm with ya, got a soft spot for these :D
This was the best looking Civic Type R until the FL5 came out. The two Halfords parts bin models between these two are dog ugly
Great colab!! Loved the behind the scenes as much as Alex's original video. More videos together please
Had a massive smile on my face the whole way around that track. Your excitement was infectious. Loved the video man! That civic sounds great.
I'll take a Honda over any Audi / BMW any day. At least it will last and not cost a small fortune when ever something goes wrong which is way too often in BMW and Audi.
You need to do more stuff with Alex it's an entertaining watch 😂
Very happy you finally brought another civic, you definitely needed to buy a proper one and experience it. Civics are great cars!!! And you inspired me to build mine. Every time you came out with a new video I’m working on my civic and watching you at the same time. Just a vibe that all
I love that type R btw that’s my favorite one. Period.
Brilliant! Your excitement is so infectious!
Ben Collins' lap was epic and Tavarish's reactions were even epic-er!
That generation CTR *will* increase sharply in value when they become legal to import to the US.
True but that's 2032. By which time 11 states claim they'll no longer support gasoline cars.
@@realMaverickBuckley *New Sale of*
Gasoline cars
@@yuriteixeira5816 another reason why cars like this will increase in value when they become legal
Great content and it's wonderful to see you happy. Enjoy the adventure!
I'm down to watch any contents you put out there! I enjoy watching your stuff
@10:52 Everybody knows, it is a Skoda Fiabia and Skoda is a subsidiary of the Volkswagen-Audi Group. It is basically a cheaper Volkswagen. 😘
But ist's more reliable than a Volkswagen
Cheaper, better made more reliable than anything from vw or audi. Heck at least the early one had much better rust proofing also.
Those Renaults are absolute electrical nightmares. Friend of mine had one, made his life a living hell 😂 and the rear end is of course absolutely ridiculous 😂
My mate had the F1 in that goldy yellow. Loved it
Awesome you getting to ride with Ben Collins! Reminds me of the Top Gear days!
Glad you had a good time while here in the UK! Great collaboration with you guys and hoping to see more in the future! :)
Ben Collins is a genuine legend x
Well. Didn't see Ben Collins coming. Thats awesome lol
Wow the Dynamic of you guys together is brilliant Freddy, Loving Bens piece at the end and the Dyno pulls were hilarious.
Traditionally we Aussies have the same car selections as the Poms (British) in the same Spec but we covet and own a shit ton of US Muscle imported and restored (Im a Mopar bloke) as well as a lot of classic Euro and because we dont have Snow/Salt they last forever :-)
This video was fantastic! From everyone bragging about their cheap cars, to the unexpected dyno results, and then your smile while the Stig was driving, simply excellent! I think this basically deserved to be on the main channel. So much fun.
When the price of your car quadruples cos the stig drives it 🤣🔥🔥
I never seen one = but I love the style = slick and sporty
Watched the race yesterday, great vid. I'd have that Honda off you after. Love Honda but only got a gt version at the moment
I’m so glad this channel is doing something now. Been subbed since you announced it
That’s a very underrated car. Great value and track ability.
YO that civic is dope as f Tee. Don't listen to those red coats!
This brought me so much joy, seeing you with the stig. I hope you had a blast
Great episode. Especially being in SA these cars are relatable. Owned a R26 back in the day too.
I can't be the only one craving a cheap car challenge for car trek?
If anyone knows reliable cars it's the British- they make supremely reliable cars such as McLaren, Lotus, Range Rover, Jaguar, not to mention all the classic sports cars from the 60's. Every car they ever made went over 150,000 miles without any trouble EVER
I’ve a 2009 fn2 myself, stage 1 tune sitting at 230hp, no matter the hate these cars get they are absolutely brilliant a few chassis mods and you’ve got a brilliant track car or fun b road car!
Love it bro! beautiful k20 engine. ep3 owner here in tx
I LOVE how this car looks
Same here, I don't think it's ugly at all. And I really love the root beer metallic looking paint.
Fun fact the FN2 was faster than the Ep3 round the Top Gear test track. Despite the segment where it was featured being pretty damming by Mr Clarkson. Great car and great video.
Tavarish this and Autoalex's companion video of y'all's day on track this is probably one of the coolest videos you've done and getting the Stig involved too freaking awesome
This was great fun. Makes me remember the old top gear series.
The look on your face next to Ben Collins says it all.
Ben has a TH-cam channel?!... INSTANT SUBSCRIBE!
This was better than every car trek
True.
I'm so happy to see how youtuber's have a great time.I hope there will be more videos like this.
Love the look on his face while in the car with The Stig. Pretty sure he just crossed off several bucket list items. Great Work Freddy!
The Skoda and Renault were much uglier
Love this and the team up with @autoalex and Taylor etc. Super fun!
Such a great video 📹 👏 👌 well done awesome colab
Great content, need more like this 👍🏻
Quality colab from some of the best on youtube! Great to see Tavarish and Ben involved.
@The_2varish no thanks..
Love seeing you in the UK with these guys too, great chemistry!
Epic to get all the guys together on your visit to our shores. And the best thing was seeing you have fun Freddie, happy for you man!
That Civic sounds so nice. Pity about the shape.... 😛
hey the pool looks great!
i cant blame you for fangirling with Ben there, he's pure legend. i cant wait to see outside footage of the R ripping around the circuit with Ben at the tiller
Love that you come over to the U.K. and make some great content.
Awesome video. Did not expect to see Fabia RS on Freddy's channel.
I REALLY LOVED THIS!!!!! as a civic owner of 5 i enjoyed watching a uk civic been driven like it should i feel the same hyped and enjoy man thanks for the best freaking contents ever man!!!❤
1:55 interesting conversation. I could be wrong but I think the climate in that region and the roads are a factor. I see that in mountainous Africa where it freezes compared to the savanna/desert
😂😂😂😂 the composure of the stig whilst the passenger bounces around like an excited rag-doll omg tavarish man you’re the best … and the reason they hate Japanese cars in the uk especially Hondas is because they rust away very quickly and also in the uk vehicle servicing is usually done once a year before MOT so maintenance is bad .. but JDM for the win
