- We DARE YOU to find better import cars than we did on AutoTempest!►bit.ly/CarTrek7_1
Thanks to AutoTempest.com for sponsoring this series!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
On the first episode of Car Trek Series 7, AutoTempest challenges the guys to find the best imported cars they could get their hands on. Since they'd have to be at least 25 years old to qualify for importation, the guys would have to choose cars from the greatest decade - the '90s. Tyler brought a heavily modified BMW E30 325i hot rod from Lebanon, Freddy lets his JDM freak flag fly with an inappropriate Mazda RX-7, and Ed outdoes himself and shows up in the most offensive TVR Cerbera ever made. They are then told to meet at the Freedom Factory for a race. Hell yeah, brother.

"All the VINs are scratched off"
It's a weight saving technique, popular in Albania too
It's due to tax
The president of Albania's BMW too.
Good ol’ VINezuela trick. Commie Venezuela invented the vin scratch off 😳
They love the lock removal too, for the same reasons
Yeah scratch off vins in USA not good idea fast way to become a felon
"I always got the impression that TVR built a car, put it on sale, and THEN found out how it handled. Usually when one of their customers wrote to the factory complaining about how dead he was."
- Jeremy Clarkson, paraphrased from memory
"There's no airbag either, TVR's argument has always been well, don't crash then"
There was a TVR Sagaris that was described by Richard Hammond as a car designed by an axe murderer
For the car to crash it has to be capable of movement.
I had to screenshot that lol
TVR made cars for people who were too afraid to buy a Noble.
Tavarish: "Is it fast?"
Cleeter: "It's a stock Crown Vic... ... So yes"
No way that’s stock.
@@Dozav7 anything is fast when you don't care about it
@@Dozav7 that was a leftover Vic from one of the freedom factory races, they're all stock vics, with some weight reduction (seats removed and such)
goes to show you whats better, an experienced driver in a slow car, or a lower experience driver in a fast car!
ok
On this episode:
-Ed interacts with a variety of birds
-Tyler disassembles a car he doesn't own
-Freddie defends a fetish
Underrated Top Gear reference
why did I read this in Clarksons voice
@@jamiespicer5856 same
Omg. .. day made ....🤣🤣🤣🤌🏼fucnnn hell gents
All of this and more tonight. On car trek
While Grand Tour is still taking a break, Car Trek is my comfort show about cars!
Agree, it’s the best alternative
I’m thinking it’s climbing, while the boys from Britain are trying to retire.
Will the Grand Tour be coming back?
I would take car trek with grand tours production budget any day.
Danny S yeah, they already have one in post production, and we should get a second one this year.
I'm a little disappointed that the TVR is in such a sad shape. I hope that Tyler gets his hot rod BMW 3 series fixed. This is a great episode as usual. Please keep up the great work. Thank you.
Yea it kinda ruins the episode tbh. I wish they'd make the cars at least run properly before starting the series as it just makes it pointless if they're all broken
I hope tyler breaks down first, or ed, because freddy always seems to get cheated out of winning. Last season, i thought ed got his car in kinda shady, and they always talk trash about freddy, thought tyler was gonna go crazy on freddy.
I think it's wrong that they are banning the japanese car's, and taking the title's from the owner's. You can't drive the japanese car's on the street's at all in many state's, and JR sold his right hand drive because he heard about this and didn't want a paper weight. They should ban then all if they are gonna target the japanese imports, should ban all right hand rive car's coming in.
Not unique I'm afraid - nearly every car that has been on pimp my ride has been utterly destroyed.
@@died4us590 why are righthand drive cars being banned in the US?
Who do you think breaks down first? My guess is the one without pistons.
There is also a TVR. It is kinda in their nature
@@tvtas100 that’s a safety feature to prevent you having an accident.
The BMW, It is in the nature of the car to break down and we all know Tyler probably didn't get a good one.
Definitely the BMW, but you know the furtur sooooo 👀🤣
I can’t imagine a modified British car will do well
Ed's not joking - that TVR was the absolutely the most famous cars in the early 2000 UK car culture. "Max Power" (popular UK tuner magazine) had it as one of their 'poster' cars, literally. Being a teenager at the time everyone had a poster of this car on their wall. Crazy that you guys actually got it!
a rare car indeed, deserves more love nowadays imo
The last guy that owned it in the uk lived 20 mins from me and I didn’t even realise until like a month before it got exported😢
@@JimboMidSlice No way, he was the one that sold it to Ed?
@@AK88onCars maybe aye, I only knew from AdamC that it was getting exported to the US, all the max power boys were real sad to see it go
Yeah that TVR was an icon of “Max Power” era cars. Built by Jamie Shaw who built the legendary Renault R5 Turbo
I love how when they cut to cleeter in the crown Vic, he’s just silent and expressionless 😂 This man is only here to race!
I've never seen him not trying to win, he jokes around and has a good time but put him in the driver's seat and it's game time
Cleetus: "Race time? Hell yea!" *turns on stig mode*
I know he owns ⅒ of America's running Vics but I love how Cleetus just shrugs it off, even complimenting the bump draft. "You ran into a road tank" 😂
I think he was more surprised that Tyler would hit him, Cleet is no stranger to bumping people around in a race he also respects a cool build. I'm sure him and his crew were all about a v8 swapped e30 even if it isn't an LS and while not perfect it's definitely the cleanest build this season...
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!

STOP IDOLIZING & WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

@@Joebobinator it's the least clean. that rx7 despite the awful livery has a bunch of pretty serious bits on it and the tvr is pretry recognizable to anyone in the modified british cars 25 years ago.
Ed's blind optimism about his cars even when they're turds is hilarious.
I love edd, but I feel like that's just worn into his psyche from telling people "it'll be fine" before selling them a slightly shady exotic.
I love how Cleetus does the slightest Scandi Flick as he enters EVERY corner.
ok
Just like the Stig in an XJS
Its to counteract understeer
i know its so cool and he keeps speed. really cool
I love that cleeter isn’t afraid to win at his own race
Squish face only wins at sounding funny
@@whburton1 I take it you aren't a fan then
@@jcc3494 Guy seems like a miserable troll judging by his comment history
Hell yeah brother!
So cool to see Car Trek at the Freedom Factory ! I hope Ed finally invite Cleetus at Vin Wiki, i'm sure he has great stories to tell.
I'd like to point out that the front wheels on the RX-7 are rare. Rays built a set of wheels for Mazdaspeed, the MS-01, and that is indeed a pair of them.
Lots of hate for that RX-7, but its got a lot of really good parts under the patina and cleavage. Its about as JDM legit as it gets.
I wish they'd see this lol
@@johndc2998 me too, I'd hate to see these parts just get scrapped
@@jaymorrison2419 the "hate" is scripted I guess, to make the show or content interesting. I bet Tavarish already knew about all the good bits on the car, like the RE Amemiya bodykit complete with the hood side mirrors, etc.
@@HNRichard there is one scene where Hoovie grabs the mirror and Tavarish snaps at him quick and says they are rare..so I think he had a good idea of the value
Decent TVR’s used to sound awesome, you could always hear them coming. Also love the fact that TVR stands for Trevor, the name of the guy that started the company 😂
Clarkson once described a TVR V8 idling as like 2 fat people mud wrestling 😂
forever props to Ed for bringing that TVR to the US. Already won CT this edition.
Brembo carbon brakes 😘
Pure clown but didn't expect anything less from a person from there.
TVR are hilariously unreliable
Brought the TVR to America, to set it on fire?
"One of the most unreliable Japanese cars ever made"
Precisely what makes the RX-7 one of the most desirable Japanese cars... For Freddie.
Great article
It is still most reliable rotary engine powered car💀💀
Oh, just wait until the Rob Dahm/Tavarish crossover.
@@janakthapa5018 not really, the 12a is wayyy more reliable and actually the most reliable rotary engine made
@@janakthapa5018 and the REW is just a fun engine and kinda dangerous, a lot of crashes due to the second turbo kicking on and people losing control, and i mean it’s a REW it’s a TT generally TT engines are that reliable
This episode was amazing. Loved the race around the Freedom Factory with Cletus.
Honestly boys. I've been on TH-cam for about a decade now. And carter series has been the one upload that I always get the most excited to see pop up on my screen. You guys have great chemistry. Never a disappointment.
Was super stoked to see Cleet finally make his way into a CarTrek
How tall is that guy, 7'8"? Tyler's over 6' and he was looking pretty shrimpy next to the Cleet. Nicest Goliath I ever saw tho
ok
@@ironymatt he's 6' 8" I believe
@@anthonywash6159 6'6".
@@ironymatt not a guy, he is a giraffe.
What i love about CarTrek is that it have the quality of a professional production but it's still showing people having fun.
Honestly just from Ed's statement at 8:45 he automatically wins this whole series regardless of the actual outcome. He's 100% right. Grey imports are for things like TVRs or other vehicles that could never make it over here due to grey market laws. Not a rhd FD or generic E30 with an engine swap.
Exactly my thought, the other two cars were really just wasted potential
100%
Check out Hoovie's newest video - he didn't want the BMW. He originally ordered a Renault but it didn't ship in time. I think that thing would've fit the series theme perfectly.
Ehh, the E30's grey enough. How he got a vehicle without VINs from the middle east through customs is a story I'd kinda like to hear
@@ironymatt Here in Europe the E30s have only one VIN number and it is the one on the bulkhead. There simply ain't one on the dash or wherever. That's just the way they were sold here. We really like them and the 4.4 is a dream swap. You would be lucky if you can register an M52 engine in here, so most of these are still 4 cyl. stock 1.8 engines, and swapping an m42 is kind of the best you can do, besides throwing in a turbo.
Honestly the RX-7 tiddy mobile has that special JDM character I love so much. They didn't have to throw shade at it like that😭
My brother in christ, that thing is clapped out, you can see the bondo on the front end.
clapped out itasha i like it!
@@ajorsomething4935 the perfect drift missile
@@ajorsomething4935 yeah its really clapped. Dont worry i understand u there too many jdm fan that like clapped out or old ass car🤣 that think its cool
@@neonX2004 it's pretty fun. a clapped out one you can do what you want to without seeing the value evaporate and if you can't do stuff to it then it's kinda pointless.
"This thing fast?"
"… it's a bone stock Crown Vic"
Gotta love Cleet
so yeah very
That TVR has been absolutely ruined 😂😂 they actually looked decent in a original spec
Man for real haha. Before he mentioned it being in pimp my ride UK I genuinely thought it was a (terrible) kit car 😂.
When I seen it 15 years ago on a UK gumball rally with Jamie from pimp my ride UK I thought he ruined it when he modded it from brand new, Id love to see tavarish buy it and restore it properly
Yeah, that thing deserves to be put back to stock.
This thing makes the tavarish PMR van look amazing!
@@Jamie-ds1gf Yes PLEASE !!
I love how genuinely concerned Freddy is about Tyler breaking some things on that RX-7
Those parts are actually rare and cost quite a bit. Freddy knows what he has.
@@KiraYamato209 less of a meme, and some elbow grease, there's a good car under there.
Those “will it start?!” rotary hot starts brought back all the anxiety of owning my former RX-8.
4:44 " I don't think it was born it survived an abortion" 🤣😂 Died laughing there You guys 🤣🤣 keep em' coming fellas 👍👍
Best joke of the series so far.
Almost choked with my drink 😆
yeah that one was a zinger!
I paused the video to wipe joyful tears from this joke. Amazing!
So funny!
Fun fact: the TVR Cerbera's Speed Eight engine was the sound used for the BMW M3 GTR in 2005's _Need for Speed: Most Wanted._
are you serious I didnt know that
Didn’t they use the real race car?
That had to include the sounds of it breaking down after the first race in the game, right?
You can't run a TVR that long before something has to give.
@@MIKEK3NT No, the real BMW M3 GTR of that generation sounds more like a race-prepped V8 Ferrari. Still a flat-plane crank V8, but a very different character to the sound.
Nope. Was made via computer no real car sounds
I love how Ed didn't even try his usual financial gymnastics to justify his car. Usually there's an answer as to why he hasn't actually spent the amount he has actually spent, but even Ed can't talk his way out of that one. And yes, that TVR is almost certainly plotting how to murder it's current owner, because it's a TVR and they are the vehicular equivalent of an axe-murderer.
They didn't have a budget limitation this time, so it wasn't important how much they spent.
But it is different in the states, and pretty cool. I think it wins the challenge because of those two points.
Yep the TVR is a reverse kit car, it comes in one piece new & slowly becomes a pile of parts, Rj in Oz
that was only the Tuscan TVR that tried to kill it's owners because of how far back the cockpit was to the rest of the car
@@insomniacbritgaming1632 wrong they all want you dead. No ABS No power steering No traction control No airbags.
As Clarkson once said TVR assumes you can drive and drive well. Even the baby Tamora is a handful
Ed has accidentally bought one of the most significant cars of the 2000s max power era.
No, he didn't accidentally buy it, he bought it on purpose knowing what it is.
Well I hope he looks after it.
That's 1 of 1.
That TVR is a straight up weapon... love it, want it. You need to check behind every panel because the factory workers left "interesting messages" written in marker...
I just checked that, had no idea!
this TVR is about a weapon as safety scissors
@@knight838_ Safety scissors covered in tetanus. Sure it might be more difficult to get into danger, but if you do it'll still kill you.
I think he means that one was built by an absolute weapon.
Cleeter getting his recognition this series! Love that they incorporated the Freedom Factory!
I've enjoyed his channel since his early days and it's nice to see him included in this. Garrett is a very smart guy, and he's having a great life doing the stupid shit we all want to do.
Cletus is next level. Great channel and cast of characters he has.
I always look forward to a CarTrek series!
Hey Randy greetings from Europe ! ;0)
LoL you obvious never seen TopGear... These guys are just wannabe's
@@Andy-gti Hey man i grew up with that car show.. i know TG series since Tiff Needell was in it.. then latter he went doing same stuff on Fifth Gear.. today they move the clips on TH-cam and only Chris Harris qualify to put a car thru it's peace not jokers.. ;0)
Always
@@Andy-gti except top gear isn't what it used to be and these guys do a better job than GT or Top Gear has for quite some time. I've been watching top gear for over 20 years and I was one of the first 20k subs on Chris Harris youtube channel, so its not like I'm talking without knowing. These guys have the perfect chemistry for a show like this, that's all there is to it.
Cleet is like a Need for Speed: Carbon boss. Even with all that random sick drifting cut scenes and a vicious laugh before he wins xDxD
Car Trek, at the freedom factory with Cleetus... This absolutely made my day!
A cameo I didn't expect
@@_r.t- the cameo we didn't expect, but that we needed! (Honestly I think if they would have done an episode at the FF and Cleetus didn't make an appearance that would have been a huge disappointment)
You have to admire Freddie for his ability to imagine that a turd is a diamond.
So... in this episode we learn that of the three cars, a Crown Vic is better. :D
That was one seriously fun race to watch, and hilarious to see how massive the Crown Vic was compared to the rest of them.
A crown Vic is only better in that it's cheaper, more comfortable, faster and more reliable. But that's it!
@@neong its slower but cleetus fucking know hows to rip em thats for sure!
@@neong better looking. Everything you named off makes it an all around better car than all 3
to be fair to the imports cleetus is a major drivers mod hes been doing laps for a long time so home court advantage
and the vic is pretty solid and he never said he didnt use the NOS that hooked up to all the race vics
@@alfonsoalonzo he didn’t even say anything about nos. If you watched any Cleetuss videos you’d know he’d be telling them about it instead of saying it’s stock
A TVR Cerbera...in America...modified by West Coast customs...
That might not only be one of the rarest cars ever sold, but one of the best cars ever featured on a show of this format (very much including Top Gear).
West Coast customs as far as I know didnt modify it,a lad called Jamie who owns carisma built it
The chemistry and editing has gotten so good. " 40 grand. He's 40 grand into this!" cuts to Ed.
What car would you like to own that was never sold in the US?
This is a weird one but I'd love a Nissan Gloria
Mitsubishi Evo wagon
That TVR is pretty cool. VF Holden Maloo Ute with a Manual Trans would be near the top of my list for sure.
PULSAR GTI-R
That TVR
The Carisma Cebera was so cool when I was growing up. Shame to see if in poor state these days. Was always the poster car for people that liked modified cars over here in the UK.
I still remember Clarkson wiping the floor with its oposition when new. That engine and clutch needed a rebuild !!
Had it on my wall lol
That TVR is soo iconic in the UK car scene. I loved it when first featured on Max Power
I can't believe he got it and I'm shocked nit even survived this long
The rx8 joke at 15:42 aged extremely well 🔥
This will go over a lot of peoples heads but I see what ya did there & I agree 🤣🤣
They joke about engine weight on the e30 but the stock m20 was an iron block so the weight difference wouldn't be that much moving to an all-aluminum v8. If they had moved the battery to the rear that might have helped as well.
100%. The M60/M62 is underrated. The last generations of that engine with 4.4 and 4.6L displacement and Vanos were awesome. Torquey and rev happy.
An LS swap only adds about 150 pounds to a Miata I think I read one time because the 4 cylinder is pretty heavy.
@@Dryloch ...and how is that relevant to the discussion?
@@theclicker because cummins swapping a toyota previa would add a lot of weight.
@@theclicker I think the relevance is that small iron 4-bangers are often surprisingly heavy Vs aluminium V8s. I was surprised when XF Motorsports weighed an S2000 engine and it wasn't far off the weight of a Mercedes M113 V8.
As a Lebanese I can’t be more proud that one of our cars is being used in the challenge…
Already know who I’ll be cheering for this season!!
Don't you mean 'Lebanite'?
Would’ve been perfect with a “tuned by Salah” sticker on the window.
Hoovie driving that would be hilarious 💀

Really great thank you
Right up to the point where douchelord appears, then wrecks one of the car trek cars.
Amazing? That's a stretch.
The strange car is perfect for the guy with Hublot.
Love how the Crown Vic makes all these cars look tiny. Very fun Car Trek episode!
Genuinely saddened me to see how bad the tvr looked after after 20years . Early 2000s this car hit covers of every modified car mag in the UK. Loved this car back in the day
Carisma did some belting cars back in the day to be fair
@@ETH85 100% some amazing cars for the time their Renault 5 turbo was bonkers for the time also 😀
@@ETH85 I couldn't believe what I was seeing when Ed rolled up in it. This is a legendary car in UK circles. It was on Adam C's video just a few months ago.
Even being in the US I recognized that car. I miss those old max power builds. They weren't always my style but I really respect what they accomplished.
I remember that TVR from back in the day, I saw it for sale last year and asked the wife if I could get the Charisma TVR and got a firm NO!
I had a Charisma built Peugeot 306gti when we met, that I'd taken for a laugh in part exchange. It had seen better days too 😂

The original Cerbera was a rocket ship when it first came out.
thank god car trek is back.I missed this and great that its back.Idk what people think but if not for the trio(jeremy,james and richard)this is the greatest trio on any automotive show!!
also lowkey Bladed Angel gonna be lovin freddy's car!
I have to agree with Ed. Tyler and Tarvish really missed the point of this one.
That TVR was / is one of the most famous TVR's in the world. I remember getting the MaxPower magazine and also seeing at a few car shows.
13:02, Hoovie's speedometer doesn't work.
If Ed wanted to force them into an overseas vehicle, he should have done a kei car challenge. Although I don't know if I like Ed's chances of getting out of a Cappucino, Beat, or a Vivio comfortably for a week straight
He would have gone for an Alto or a Wagon R easily
You watched Swordfish and what stuck in your memory was the TVR, not Halle Berry’s unfettered sweater puppies? You truly are a car guy through and through, Ed. Cheers
Ed had to watch the tv edited version that was all his parents would allow LOL
He doesn't need to remember them when Freddy's car can supply all their mammary needs.
Those are wayyyyyyyyyyy more expensive than the TVR, short and long term... just sayin.
When tavarish pulled up with the rx-7 is when I knew he was a true man of culture
That poor TVR. Hopefully they can get it sorted out because they were incredibly quick cars. Light weight with big power for the day.
Parts would probably take forever to get since none of these ever came to the us
@@0554joe Not to mention TVR stopped production in 2006
@@lc5176 the current ownership have started producing replacement parts for previous tvr models, even formed a separate company to take care of that side of the operation
Finding parts shouldn't pose much of an issue but getting them sent over to the states might, what with delivery and customs etc.
Restoring that car fully would be a series I’d enjoy watching.
@@Offensivebeast I'm hoping it happens, back to original though 😂 the current look is very 2000s UK/Max power magazine and hasn't aged well in the slightest 🤣
This is what I like about Car Trek, you can never guess what cars they are going to turn up with. You watch Car Throttle and it’s basically guaranteed that they are going to have a BMW or MX5.
I like the unpredictability of Car Trek
Just a shame they’re American…
That TVR at one point was one of the best “tuning cars “ in Europe . Specially the UK
TVR Speed 12 epic
It was not one of the best tuning cars in Europe or the uk. It was a famous MAX POWER car. Max power was all about looks and sound systems. Not performance. That car is gone stock behind the body kit and aesthetic mods.
@@JackThomasCollins It was also a bit of a lash up back then. Sadly I'm old enough to have seen it in the flesh when it was in the gold paint. None of those cars were actually that well done.
Lots of fiberglass, filler and self tapping screws.
I'm old enough to remember when Max Power was actually about power and performance. Many of the cars featured in the early years were quite subtle. But yes in the late 90s the whole scene seemed to switch to aesthetics and car park pissing contests.
It's funny how Freddy's car got almost no close up shots on the body, well played.
youtube monetization bot staring menacingly
It is USS Cleavage afterall
Currently #4 on trending. YALL ARE MAKING IT HAPPEN! Congratulations guys.
Ed, I didnt think you had mad ups like that. It looks like the bionic knees are serving you well!
Ed has got the best taste. Tavarish just thinks like a mechanic looking for a fixer-upper. And Tyler is probably thinking about resale value.
Dang hadn't realized those besides Freddy cuz I think the same, you nailed it 3/3.
Edit: Guess Tyler wasn't too concerned about the resale value after all 😂😂
I was cracking up sooo hard when hoovie’s key flew out at the freedom factory hahaha 🤣
Every season you guys get better and better, I hate to say you're "another top gear clone" but you've somehow managed to capture and distill the exact same wonderful energy that made my favorite top gear (uk) adventure episodes some of the best TV I've ever seen. Thank you for doing this and I'm looking forward to the season!
Another season where tavarish is stuck with the epitome of junk
Update: Ed is driving something that resembles a car
The TVR was such a pretty car before that was done to it. Whoever it was at UK Pimp my ride should be ashamed.
Wasn't built on pimp my ride. Jamie Shaw at charisma.
@@lukedoherty31 Whatever it is it's genuinely dreadful. All that Max Power era stuff was.
I liked the max power days. Cars Now are just the same. Jamie Shaw built some crazy cars. Can't knock the effort it took. Sadly now it's ruined on marketplace
Ironically, the guy who built it actually did all the cars on Pimp My Ride UK. Jamie Shaw is a legend in the UK car scene.
That tvr is car culture heritage, that car was the royalty of max power in its day
The cinematography on this is next level. Kudos to the filming and editing crew! Love me some new CarTrek!
Good to see you all back. Ed sounding much more relaxed than previous series. Awesome picks too - UK here and the TVR is legendary!
Cleetus should have brought out Neighbor and showed you how its really done!! Loved the FF/CarTrek collaboration.
LoL Neighbor would have just lapped these guys...I'm pretty impressed what Cleetus did with just a more less stock crown vic, but I think that was more down to his driving/experience than the car itself.
The bone stock one was way funnier
I remember the Cerbera when it featured in Max Power. It was hideous then and it's hideous now. The 'bodykit' completely ruins the look of the car and I don't know who set up the rear coilovers, but it looks like a dog dragging it's rear end across the floor. It's a shame and completely unnecessary as it's a great looking car imo.
My dad has a room full catalogue of old maxpower mags that i used to look through, it's probably still in there.
It's only when you see the Crown Victoria next to the European/Japanese cars, do you realise just how big American cars really are 😮
The Crown Vic is bigger than most American cars.
And the Crown Vic is fairly small, compared to modern American family cars (a crew cab F-150 with a short bed is almost 3 feet longer, and that's the modern equivalent of the family sedan)
@@11sfr its not tho a dodge charger is a family sedan
@@MV-ri7zu pickup trucks are the sedans of the 21st century, proper sedans are niche/specialty cars now, the F-150 is the most common family and commuter vehicle in the country, by a very wide margin. It does the job the family sedan used to
Wow, Ed actually had an incredible challenge. From this episode I learned the US has a 25-year import ban on some cars that don't meet safety requirements. With that baseline I'd have loved to see the other two bring in cars that have never been stateside.
You can blame Mercedez for the ban, not safety regs..
There was a time when you could import a new MB cheaper than buying them at US dealerships and they lobbied congress
My appraisal of Season 7 ... the best yet! Well done crew! See you in Season 8! (And that TVR is as terrifying as it looks)
TVR cars has always been a beast from the get go, but that is the charm of it.
Not agreed
I’m 100% with Ed, I wanted to see some forbidden fruit, not the same cars we have in the USA! Boo!
Yeah their choice of cars suck. They could have bought a Venturi Atlantique, a 205 GTI, a Fiat Coupe, an Alfa GTV and many others but nooo they chose random cars that you can find anywhere in the world (except for ED of course)
@@kyliandc9276 Holy crap, imagine them with a Renault 5 Turbo or Renault Sport Clio V6. One of them would legitimately die.
I never understand, how in every episode, someone gets away with spending 2-4 times as much as the other two people and it's not a problem.
It helps when it’s the worst performer of the bunch!
Ed throwing haymakers 😂😂
I hope Ed wins this one, he's the only one that really understood the challenge - considering he came up with it, not too surprising.
Same here. Tyler and Freddy should have purchased something you couldn't get here. A Japanese Kei (interesting with high gas prices), Lancia Delta, Peugeot 306 GT, Escort Cosworth, ,Alfa GTV, Lotus Carlton, Lotus Elise S1, Nissan Skyline, and countless other cars.
Agreed. They had an option of a whole slew of cars that we never had but got cars that we had.
Freddy shouldn't of been able to use the rx7 as that was already in the country when be swapped for it. Bit of a let down really
The E30 V8 swap is quite common in Germany i think there is even a company were you can buy fire walls and brackets for these kind of swaps
For those interested tvr actually made a speed 12 cerbera that had a 7.73 litre V12 producing around 1000bhp in a car that weighs less than 1,000kgs (2,200lbs) but even they deemed it too dangerous. And Ed as a Brit it pains me to see that car like that, I beg you restore it
That car is garbage and I can't imagine where he'd get parts for it.
4:52. Ed's way of saying Yes is very similar tot the way Jeremy Clakson says "Yes" when bantering with Slow and Hamster
Tyler running away from seagulls whilst screaming "Save me Tom Cruise" made my day...
Ed's TVR looks like a Speed 12 that's gone very wrong like a kid trying to make a Veyron Supersports out of Civic 😂
Speed 1.2
That TVR. my god, it's such a beautiful car. Such a maintenance nightmare, but like a Jag, it looks amazing standing still.
Nothing about that specific TVR is beautiful lol
@@djsomeguy it was a nightmare for years over here in the uk, glad we finally got rid of it! Standard ones are great tho!
@@djsomeguy Its iconic
@@djsomeguy If speaking generally about Cerberas, then I'd agree
this video was something special for me, as i grew up loving TVR's as a child, old BMW's as a teenager, and spicy Doritos as an "adult"
Cletus McFarland needs to be the " stig "
" Some say he only breathes freedom , some say he can Make eagles migrate to him , some say he is a giraffe "
Cleetus McFarland is seven feet tall! Shreds tires by the hundreds. And if HE were here, he'd consume the haters with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.
i know i have said this before, but i LOVE this series, it really does remind me of TopGear UK ( the good TopGear imo ) and i love how you guys play off each other like Richard, James and Jeremy
This is the best Car Trek, hands down. I purchased my FF t-shirt the first day he started selling them. I had no idea that this would become America's race track. Thank you, Cleetus, for bringing race track fans back to where we belong.
This makes me feel like watching the old top gear, great episode guys
I remember that TVR from my teenage years! They also did a crazy Renault 5GTT!
White 993 too
@@JD-eo7dr gonna have to check this out, think I stopped buying max power/fast car around then.
Yeah Carisma were the team behind the UK Pimp my Ride too.
Jamie actually started out as interior quality control at Rolls Royce before setting up on his own.
@@JD-eo7dr yea I read he had a background at a high end company. I checked up a few years ago and was gutted to see the firm was no longer active.
I'd love if this series always finished with the crew restoring them to their former glory.
I don't think AutoTempest has the budget for that. 😂
I love car trek! I wish the series would never end. just as soon as one car trek season is over, another starts right up!
This is literally better than the new top gear. I Think this is a great alternative. As a Brit, I'm Compelled to back Ed. What a car.
I think im in love with the Rx-7. I mean, I love all rotaries but that rx7 just has so much personality. I'm extremely jealous lol
The tvr factory was behind my house, was great seeing them being test driven.
It's all gone now, the main part of the factory is now a gym and mechanic shop
I swear Car Trek is the best thing to happen on TH-cam!
There’s a feeling like no other when you see a new season of Car Trek was posted
Tavarish, you gotta keep those side mirrors!
No one goes for that look but it looks so much cooler.
