Hey Alex.. love your channel, I've just seen a jem on ebay for you.. how do I send you the link as TH-cam keeps deleting my comments because of the ebay link???
I think it's a bit dodgy advertising alcohol on TH-cam. Lot of minors are watching. Plus alcohol doesn't mix well with cars or at least drivers. I feel similar about Hoovie's latest sponsor.
@aidarsharafullin3154idk man that's an unpopular opinion, people enjoy these Top Gear challenge style videos with affordable, down to earth cars. I don't give a shit about Alex tinkering and tuning a POS beaten up old BMW that he occasionally drives. To what end? So he has a slightly nicer funday car in his garage? I don't care about that, and it's been done a million times.
@aidarsharafullin3154but still I definitely agree that Alex starts and stops too many different series and projects and too quickly, without updating the audience.
Wahey I'm looking forward to this, some pretty obscure cars, love the Alfa hope he makes it. This Jag looks solid too actually. Tom Lenthall should do audiobooks or a podcast, you need to save up for more Jags or a V8 Defender so we can see more of him!
I bought one of these just a month ago, absolutely falling in love with it, nice to see them getting more recognition with you and drivetribe doing videos on them.
Every time Alex wears the DTM Alfa Romeo 155 t-shirt ❤ best car ever owned was my 1997 Sports pack 3 Alfa 155. Rosso red, with Gunmetal grey Speedline wheels. Was uploaded to OG Car Throttle website before it was a thing many many years ago😢😢😢😢😢
New podcast episode is brilliant mate, I missed not having Taylor but for episode two the quality of the podcast is better than most podcast that have been going for years. Can’t wait to see big brewer on it……. “Old out yer ‘and!”
You can get H&R lowering springs with 45mm drop. 29782-1 is the PN, and im pretty sure you can replace the shocks with Bilstein's b4, maybe b6, throw on some Powerflex bushes all round. and your pretty close to a decently tight suspension setup.
You've got a 4 cylinder, a V6, V8 and a V10... Invite Tom along to the Ring and he might be able to bring a V12 within budget (probably a crusty 5.3 XJS)
Was amazing to meet you guys at Shedfest and can’t wait for next event. Would love to go to Nurburgring, but until I have recovered more I will have to keep watching you guys going. Please go more to keep me going 🤣
As for the V10, i can see 4 options 1: VW Tourag V10 TDI 2: Some ancient Ford SUV or pickup with the 6.7 Triton 3: Mike from DriveTribes V10 MX5-Connought... Or, the one i think most likely, an Audi-S6/8 or Phaeton with the 5.0 V10 that went on to go into the Gallardo
no danger you r sponsor was Beer52, I literally just lworked my last day with them yesterday after two years with them. So weird and mad I didn;t know about this as I would have jumped at the chance to meet you!
As an ex alfa owner (had a mito had to upgrade size), I am stupidly jealous of that Alfa Romeo you got a hold of Alex. I hope you look after it and give it hell on the ring.
The more REAL MECHANICS KNOWLEDGE is included in here the better for us!! I would absolutely love XK 5.0 for a lazy Sunday drives...what a fantastic machines with the best soundtrack under £10k for sure ❤
Thoroughly enjoying this series chaps, some interesting choices on the cars so far, especially liking the prospect of the Alfa, particularly if it ends up looking touring car spec!
A very nice Jaguar a few small issues Travarish did well l can definitely see this Jaguar making the trip with no problems also the BMW as for the Alpha Romeo may be after there reputation for breaking down but they are so stylish
Knew Tavarish would get a Jaaaag, thought it might be a ropey XKR, but this is a good base car with 2k to make go faster. I reckon Mark going to end up with an S6/S8 V10 oooor, a V12 with a misfire! 🤣 Still think Tayler’s little Z3 could be the winner if he can get it running as it’s so light and can have all the money thrown at it to make better.
i remember that too the one's i still do see these days on occasion are really well kept xkrs with the multi spoke sepang wheels so at least people are looking after the best version!
The jag looks good. Looking forward to Mark turning up with a Phaeton or Taureg diesel. Worst case scenarios a dodge(y) import. Taylor got this i reckon😊
Oh I''m soooooooooo very jealous (maybe not so much for the Alfa Romeo) but that Jag U ARE will just fly and shake it's ass in tight corners. A fine acquisition. (oh I spelled a word!) Reminds me, 4am foot down and slowly keaving my mate's Yamaha 650 behind (neeh, neeh cruise), blue lights flashing over the gantry? (bridge across the motorway) and slow down to see Ian with his 11 hundred HP Kawasaki pulled over, in fairness they only gave him three points, according to him, he was still accelerating at 165? Happy days, happy days.
That is a brave choice.. OK totally wrong for the ring in just about every way 🤣 let me get this right, not only has Freddie got a boat for the track, he will have to contend with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car as well? On a demanding circuit... does he have the number for Lenz already? 🤷♂️
Alex, love your work. Put the full podcast on the V2 channel. I watch the collecting cars podcast in full every week on youtube and would do the same with yours.
My guess for mark is some old BMW 7 series. This jag though... I think it could win the challenge with the right mods. Wouldn't have been my choice but I hope it does well
'i want that jag ride, we're going to be taking these turns at a moderate speed, I'm not going for lap records here' He does know that they're doing a lap with Misha right? Moderate speed is not an option when he's driving! 😂
Was going to say the looks of the "Jaaaag" blows everything away except maybe the reliability and so on... but maybe this time the looks might match the (fixed) reliability for once? Still sad about the 300ZX... with a couple of mods... that would rule this challenge easily :-)
Dunno if this would be good but i had a random idea of a new challenge video of get some under 1 Litre cars, cus there are a few fun silly options that arent too expensive or shit. Smart roaster, Daihatsu copen, Suzuki Cappuccino that kinda thing
It’ll be fine until that ZF gearbox shits itself 😂 I might suggest a transmission oil and filter service as they are seldom done due to Jaguar saying that it is “sealed for life” even though ZF says service at 70,000
I just had a look on Autotrader and was actually shocked at how little choice there was for a 4.0, 300+bhp, manual car for under 4k... There were literally 3 B6 S4 convertibles, one B7 S4 Convertible, a Cat S S5 and a 645ci Convertible!

It's a v8 rx8... would be epic for the challenge or channel..

Can you get it sent outside the UK?
Take care of my baby, she's all I got
Hurry up and finish that P1, you're just milking it now, how hard can it be!!! 😀😀😀
You did well with that, those XK8s are fantastic cars
Are you going to ship her home when you’re done?
That means it's a requirement as a Jaguar owner he has to buy golf clubs and steal freebies from hotels.
Have a 4.2 XKR of this shape. Lovely thing and quite right this one should be cherished.
Love Tom - a chap passionate about his work and truly enjoys it! Motivation for us all
Love Tom, he is very entertaining. You should include him in one of your challenges
@aidarsharafullin3154or just don’t watch his videos 🤷🏼♂️. The beauty of TH-cam. In the mean time, the rest of us will sit back and enjoy.
@aidarsharafullin3154speak for yourself.. I enjoy this content

@aidarsharafullin3154but still I definitely agree that Alex starts and stops too many different series and projects and too quickly, without updating the audience.
He's got his own channel as well (Tom Lenthall's Workshop), which includes a series of videos on his sweet XJC restomod build.
I love seeing Tom on the Channel! More of him please!
Having owned a 1.3 grand S-Type 4.2, I have had cheap jag experience and these engines are pretty damn solid
Tom is a top bloke. It is genuinely amazing to see a master at work on his specialism.
Tom almost makes me want to go out and buy a jag..............a very entertaining guy and i'd imagine a good fella to work for aswel.
The knowledge that tom has is outstanding, sounds so passionate about his job and seems like a good guy too. Great video alex
I know nothing about cars and understood nothing about what he said - but Alex is right, I did like it when he geeked out!
was thinking about this series at work today and thought 'I would love to get home and watch a new one' DREAMS CAN COME TRUE!
Same here ❤
really enjoying this series! can't wait to see all the cars lined up ready to go off to the Nürburgring!
This really makes your day! Thanks once again alex🔥
Love when Tom gets into the 'geeky' details.. not sure if itll ever be useful but love learning about it
good vid, but the best part for me is when they are scouting the web for a car shame we missed that this ep
Wahey I'm looking forward to this, some pretty obscure cars, love the Alfa hope he makes it. This Jag looks solid too actually. Tom Lenthall should do audiobooks or a podcast, you need to save up for more Jags or a V8 Defender so we can see more of him!
Yes ❤ Iv been waiting for this upload and get to watch it before work 🎉
We do love some geeking out! props to letting Tom geek out and being serious about it :D

Cant wait for the next episode already haha. love the work you are putting into this channel Alex 👏🏻
Awesome seeing you guys working together
Driving through Woodley there Alex? Next time, pop in for a cuppa!
You've got a 4 cylinder, a V6, V8 and a V10... Invite Tom along to the Ring and he might be able to bring a V12 within budget (probably a crusty 5.3 XJS)

Tom sounds like the type of mechanic every car guy needs with that level of specific knowledge
Another great video Alex and the team ! Freddie and Tom are such likeable people, can’t wait to see the carnage at the ring 😂
My dad has a 2003 Jaguar XKR it’s such a beast, It’s got a back-box delete too it sounds amazing
As for the V10, i can see 4 options
1: VW Tourag V10 TDI
2: Some ancient Ford SUV or pickup with the 6.7 Triton
3: Mike from DriveTribes V10 MX5-Connought...
Or, the one i think most likely, an Audi-S6/8 or Phaeton with the 5.0 V10 that went on to go into the Gallardo
How expensive are ram SRT10s?
Also you could probably get an inevitably exploded BMW M5 v10 😂
@@neblolthecarnerd Well itas about half a year late but E60 M5s are about 15K for a Ropey one, As for the Ram their about 30 grand
I've been mulling over buying one of these for the last 18 months .
However, that Alfa is a thing of beauty.
Top 3 automotive channels at the moment!!
The only V10 under 5k is an Audi S6 so i reckon its gonna be one of those
Awesome video
Can you add Rory in on this as well, send him off to find a 5 cylinder
no danger you r sponsor was Beer52, I literally just lworked my last day with them yesterday after two years with them. So weird and mad I didn;t know about this as I would have jumped at the chance to meet you!
UK market is just so damn cheap....checked XK8s in Germany, there are only wrecks under 10K, nice ones north of 20K
is echt krass wie billig autos da sind. aber alles andere is da nicht so günstig. 😂 und rost is da oft noch schlimmer als bei uns hier "unten"
Tina was parked next to me at Shedfest, after overtaking me on the Motorway, sounded mental. Great buy.
That Jaag is a thing of beauty in that blue. However, I'd have Alfred, just the driver in me (oh, and the chrome Busso intakes are motoring porn!).
I love Tom's geeking over Tina. 😂
We love it when Tom geeks out !
My god that alfa is so nice, so so nice
As an ex alfa owner (had a mito had to upgrade size), I am stupidly jealous of that Alfa Romeo you got a hold of Alex. I hope you look after it and give it hell on the ring.

Keep the great work up Alex a massive inspiration to me❤
Thoroughly enjoying this series chaps, some interesting choices on the cars so far, especially liking the prospect of the Alfa, particularly if it ends up looking touring car spec!
The Alfa needs to let the oil out or it will burn it all, makes you keep it topped up with fresh! Handy feature
A very nice Jaguar a few small issues Travarish did well l can definitely see this Jaguar making the trip with no problems also the BMW as for the Alpha Romeo may be after there reputation for breaking down but they are so stylish

Still think Tayler’s little Z3 could be the winner if he can get it running as it’s so light and can have all the money thrown at it to make better.
As soon as you announced this challenge I thought this would be my choice for the v8, I bloody love a Jag
Where is that Air France t-shirt from? I love it
Ive really enjoyed watching these last few videos
That outro shows just how much Alex loves his subscribers.
i remember seeing those Jags back in 2005 everywhere. now the are no where to be seen. i miss them tbh. the sound so good.
i remember that too the one's i still do see these days on occasion are really well kept xkrs with the multi spoke sepang wheels so at least people are looking after the best version!
This is gonna be an epic series…
Y’all need to do a top gear / car trek style with the three of you
whatever happened to freddys e36 he bought last time? werent you guys planning on going to the ring as a bmw crew as well
More geeky please, it's great to hear someone who KNOWS what they are looking at.. that, is a tidy motor, well done chaps
At a guess theres a binding caliper ...front left and why there is brake judder
The jag looks good. Looking forward to Mark turning up with a Phaeton or Taureg diesel. Worst case scenarios a dodge(y) import. Taylor got this i reckon😊
Let's get this straight, there are no 'best segments' of the podcast! You need to listen to the whole thing because it is all brilliant. 👌
Sounds like a BMW?? Don’t diss the poor Jag so badly
Enjoying the content and videos. Keep up the great work
Oh I''m soooooooooo very jealous (maybe not so much for the Alfa Romeo) but that Jag U ARE will just fly and shake it's ass in tight corners. A fine acquisition. (oh I spelled a word!) Reminds me, 4am foot down and slowly keaving my mate's Yamaha 650 behind (neeh, neeh cruise), blue lights flashing over the gantry?

Happy days, happy days.
Looks like you could (and should) put a 17x11 wheel on the back of that thing, it looks naturally tubbed for wide rear tires.
Looking forward for the trip and wondering how many times Alex brakes down 😂
That 300zx would’ve been exciting
Loving the channel chaps keep up the good work absolutely smashing it
Great Video as always ❤
That is a brave choice.. OK totally wrong for the ring in just about every way 🤣 let me get this right, not only has Freddie got a boat for the track, he will have to contend with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car as well?

I'm watching the video from Queensland Australia
Looking forward to my free beers tomorrow 🙌😂😂😂
My favourite Jag right there. Please take good care of her 🙏
Alex, love your work. Put the full podcast on the V2 channel. I watch the collecting cars podcast in full every week on youtube and would do the same with yours.
Tiny rebel brewery is just down the road from me and is an awesome place. And Tenby brewery is a lovely small brewery also.
WoW the production is and editing is awesome. Hats off to you Alex!
My guess for mark is some old BMW 7 series.
This jag though... I think it could win the challenge with the right mods. Wouldn't have been my choice but I hope it does well
I love the sound of a v8
I love the sound of an I4, sounds like fuel economy
I love the smell of E85 in the morning
Specially with equal length headers 🤤
@@justiceofskitzerland6429i4 diesel lol, even more economy
Love the smell of a running rich a-series in my mini
Max 115mph POWER
Shedfest was awesome!
Great sight unseen buy! I can't wait to see Tavaresh look on it for the first time.
This challenge sounds epic, I think car throttle should come in with a 3 cylinder and Mat Armstrong with a 5 cylinder
'i want that jag ride, we're going to be taking these turns at a moderate speed, I'm not going for lap records here'
He does know that they're doing a lap with Misha right? Moderate speed is not an option when he's driving! 😂
Let's see your predictions for Mark McCann's V10 .........I reckon it'll be either a VW Touareg or Phaeton with the V10 TDi
Maybe Audi S6 C6 or S8 D3? Other than that, i don't even know if there are any other cheap cars with a v10.
E60 M5

Alex doing "American accents" is the funniest shit ever! 😂 And I'm American.😂

Still sad about the 300ZX... with a couple of mods... that would rule this challenge easily :-)
Just seen you on the m25 in the Alfa cars looking good
The only you should change is the auto transmission with a manual like drive tribe did. Huge upgrade and hp unlock.
Haven't watched the video yet, but gave it a thumbs up cos I know it'll be good
Oh Alex, Mate, I just tried to sign up for the beer promo and subscription… They don’t ship to yanks across the freaking pond!
Dude that white Air France tshirt is sick. Where can I find that??
Dunno if this would be good but i had a random idea of a new challenge video of get some under 1 Litre cars, cus there are a few fun silly options that arent too expensive or shit.
Smart roaster, Daihatsu copen, Suzuki Cappuccino that kinda thing
Another great video guys 👍🏻
I am so excited for this.
Been looking forward to this
Ah the Nikasil engine problem, had the same with a BMW728. BMW changed out the engine after a lot of discussions. Thank god to forums...
Whens the v10 video dropping
Kwoah, what a car! Could tell it was an XK8 from the first 2seconds, love it!
It’ll be fine until that ZF gearbox shits itself 😂 I might suggest a transmission oil and filter service as they are seldom done due to Jaguar saying that it is “sealed for life” even though ZF says service at 70,000
