We Drove 1 Mile per £1 We Spent (24 Hour Road Trip)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 พ.ค. 2023
- In this video, Jack and Ethan are take on an exciting automotive challenge where we have to purchase a cheap car and road trip it as far as it costs us in only 24 hours. If we end up in a £1000 BMW, we have to drive it 1000 miles in only 24 hours. We'll go all across the country to get the mileage done including places like the Brecon Beacons Nation Park, and even Wrexham football club. Can we complete the challenge in the time allotted?

To think in old top gear challenges they could get an old porsche for under £1500 and now a 25 year old clio is £800!
A lot can change in 20 years!
Gotta think of inflation as well, £1500 back then would probably be nearly 3k or over it today
@@thwalesproductions Exactly right. Those cheap Porsches Top Gear was buying 15/20 years ago are the equivalent of the £2-3k Boxsters you find quite easily these days.
man... they got some good cars for that money
It's absolutely mad
The fact that Clio was £800 shows how crazy used car prices are now.
my 1st car, a 97 Corsa Breeze 1.4petrol was £400 in 2008.... adjusting for inflation, that would be £600 in todays money....i don't know what this means
This. Absolutely this. Same here in Ireland. I bought a Ford Galaxy for €23k about three years ago. The garage I bought it from said I’d get the same amount for it today if I traded it in. Mental.
Tbf though theirs worse out there and it’s done 60k miles
@@murphyebass7837 irelands car trade is a scam. To sell our ford edge here in Northern Ireland it's 30k, but in the south, it would cost 46k because of duty tax.
Can't even buy a decent bicycle for less than £500 these days... and even those are 'entry level'
Okay, first car throttle that I’ve really enjoyed for a while now! You need to keep Edwin on screen as he definitely adds to the dynamic! Well done lads, back on track!
10000% 😂
This comment has not aged well 😂
@@GamerGuy003why not?
Edwin's such an addition to the videos, love these guys filming together
Why is he wearing his shoes though? No respect for the carpet
I agree. I love Alex but he seems a bit "far away" now with his channel and AutoTrader. Definitely would love to see Edwin more in the mean time.
hes not though, let be honest...
@@footballrus123 they need to keep Edwin off the camera,keep it a little original,Alex used to drive me mad eating with his gob open,Edwins just trying to be the front man..if something is not broken then don't fix it.
@@manclad8934 couldn't agree less. Edwin just speaks when he would naturally and knows his onions when it comes to cars / mechanics. He's an asset to the channel.
Ethan has improved SO much since he first appeared on camera however many years ago. Great to see him being more natural in front of the camera! Having Jack, and sometimes Edwin, to present alongside him is fantastic.
I wish that in the summer you go to south France, Spain or something like that, it would be much more interesting than going around the UK for the 10th time. A different language, different road rules, bigger risks and trouble if a car breaks down, but also a beach as a reward for the finish line.
Not really diffrent road rules, only that in UK you drive on the other side of the road
Yeh they should go through the Pyrenees mountains bc then they would be in the middle of nowhere
Agreed! Especially because it wouldn’t be insanely far to drive
The UK is surrounded by beach and we've got a lovely few months of summer coming up 🤷♂
I’ve done a few foreign road trips on my channel for anyone interested including the Pyrenees ✌️
Look how small the Clio is at @14:36 compared to the Volvo and BMW! Cars are so massive now
I didn't notice that because I skipped a couple of seconds right at that spot :D
That is the real issue with the modern standard of transport. I need a to carry a lot of stuff, so I have a Volvo v70. Which was a huge vehicle when it was new but gets dwarfed by nearly everything on the road.
Eventually all cars become mini's.
That is because the Clio is a small hatchback and the BMW and Volvo in the video are both mid-size SUV. You can't compare those cars which are in different sigments
@@jonesjohnathan664 you can if you compare them in terms if proportions
Also imagine a new clio the old one will also look small compared to it
Really coming into your stride as the two main on screen guys, smashing it
When Alex left I honestly was thinking that this channel wouldnt get the views it still deserves and I was wrong! Jack and Ethan make these videos so entertaining! I love these challenges!
I have been away from utube for a while. Can you shed any light on what happened to Alex... thanks
@@paulallen3905 Google it you lazy sod..
@@paulallen3905He just left to do hosting work with other channels and to start his own channel. :)
I mean Jack was the best one out of the trio for me anyway so I am glad they still get the views
It’s actually bearable now, I might sub again
Ethan is becoming a right lad now. lol. Great vid. Keep up the good work. Love it. And as other's have said, Edwin is a cracking addition. Great friendship.
Honestly a bit disappointed you didn't go for the Xedos. My dad had one and it was a fantastic car. Smooth and comfortable... almost the perfect car to do a long journey in.
Edwin is a good addition to the car 😂
no hes not
Edwin's really annoying bruh
People like you would think a barn door is a good addition.
The fact that this comment has 172 likes would suggest that is a good addition, you sad fuckers in the comment section need to grow up a little and accept that people in fact have opinions🤦♂️🤦♂️
Edwin had me chuckling throughout in this one, back for more please!
I've owned one of those Clio's, exactly the same spec and year. Worst car ever! It had very very comprehensive history but still needed regular fixing. I bought it for £600, spent about £500 in repairs (all work done myself) then ditched it a year later.
I got a Honda Accord after that for the same price, same age and mileage. What a difference! Like going from a bicycle to a limo 😂
I kept that for 4 years fault free besides replacing the rear exhaust and she still drive like new, sold it to a friend for £300 who drove it for 3 years before the power steering failed.
I've had two and both reliable, Use one for rallying and only had replace reverse switch on gearbox. Mk1 Clio's are one of hardest car to kill 😂
honda accords were unsung heroes. The most undesirable car in the UK which meant they used to be DIRT cheap and reliable as hell. I tried to kill one for 9 years
When Edwin joins I always picture these three as Ed , Edd and Eddy obviously the guy who left is Jonny Bravo
Great video guys! Keep it up! Love the whole team on camera, the camaraderie really adds to the whole thing. Cheers!
Loved this episode, great idea, great banter and content. It felt natural and was enjoyable to watch, great content guys and hope to see more like it 👌
Yes this trio works!! Edwin should be in more videos to make the trio again
Glad to see you boys back doing what you do best.
Fun and quirky challenge, nice one lads!
It was really nice to see the boys together and these road tips is always that made me to never forget about the channel.
Fair play to Ethan, he absolutely nailed the pronunciation of Bannau Brycheiniog! There are loads more waterfalls in near(ish) Blaen Y Glyn, in Ystradfellte which are well worth a visit for anyone thinking of doing a similar trip, including one you can walk behind and get absolutely drenched.
Doing well lads. Happy to see you guys keeping it up.
Great video as always guys!
I've waited on the bridge next to the reservoir at 17:55 for about 1,000 sheep to pass whilst on DofE. Great addition. Plus the commentary about Wrexham was top notch.
I loved this model Clio. I had a blue one about 20 years ago & was surprised how reliable it was, considering French reliability. Great video
When you were parking in the car park it really demonstartes how big cars have become. Also loving Edwin being a part of it.
I can't wait for the "we turbocharged a clio" video by ethan
Great concept for a challenge. Brilliant content. Thanks!
This was excellent lads, great fun to watch 😊
I brought an identical one with 10 months MOT for £180 about 5 years ago. Used it for green laning and it was absolutely bulletproof !
Man, these videos are so great to watch - for me! 😃 A bunch of guys and some adventure in an honest car 👍🏻👍🏻
You literally drove through the only part of Wales I've walked. Awesome to see it's still there.
Got to love pre-1995 French cars though. 5, Clio, Twingo, 9, 11, 19, 21, 25, it was an awesome time for French 'light footed' comfort. And yes, they eat wheelbearings and c-joints. Would have definitely gone B-roads with that though.
Love the Clio! By far one of the Car Throttle cars I liked best so far. Good adventure too!
Well said. Any pre 2000 French car you can't go wrong
Enjoyed that more like this proper road trips 👍👍
Just finished watching Alex, with a £3000 hot hatch challenge and find this straight away for the next video... Who needs that other so called motoring show?
Well done guys that's what true driving is about 👍
Another great video, good to see you in Wrexham aswell
I’m in Chester damn it, why not a detour there or I’d have come to you guys. 🤷🏻♂️
Message me next time🤣🤣
Also, for the record. Please keep making videos like this, Alex has left, be better, we, your fans miss you doing this.
There is room for you both and we mean it.
More like this one smashing it lads
Great episode lads!
What's funny is because you put wheels on with a slightly larger radius that means the speedo was reading less meaning you had to do more miles.
Most cars over read on the speedo a bit so they probably just evened that up IMO.
Loved it! - And now I got an irrational urge to buy one of these (which should be no surprise, since I am quite addicted to older Renaults...) And as always - it is amazing what a set of nicer wheels ca do to an otherwise ordinary looking car!
I started learning to drive with a MK1 PH3 Clio from '98 15 years ago and back in 2020 bought one myself from '96. I know for a fact that MK1 used Clios have this issue where if the owner didn't maintain brakes properly and abuse them, drumbrakes would hum like that, break down and eventually seize the rear wheel. On these cars the braking power was "enough" but scarse braking, especially when 2nd or 3rd hand, always means replacing pads (duh!) but also drums and cylinders because nobody probably had done it in almost 25 years. Once done, the whole braking system should not give on you unless it's the master cylinder or (naturally) worn pads. All pieces are still available and cheap anyway.
Being a big car throttle fan and living in wrexham all my life seeing it in this video seems very surreal. Big love guys
More of this content Fella's, I loved it! How about a 3000 challenge? Get abroad 👍
Loved this, makes you see how far you can get for little money in car great video.
We need to see more from this clio!
Nice to see a bit of Wales on here. Much nicer than the usual trips around England on here
This video really bought back first car vibes, my first car was a p reg red mark 1 Renault clio.
Good effort lads.... just goes to show how good some of these cheap motors are, cant beat a scrap car adventure 😉
Great work boys!!!
Your the man Edwin👊
Great fun as always guys. I have to say though - bit of a PSA - stopping on the motorway was a dumb idea. You hadn't actually broken down, and I'm sure you had the chance to pull off to check the wheel. People really do die in genuine breakdowns on motorways, I just hope that nobody thinks it's ok to stop just cos a wheel sounds a bit dodgy.
Good vibes! And Damn now I want a clio
I’ve owned a Clio exactly like that one for about 1 month before it caught fire on the motorway😂
Good job for actually surviving that many miles👍🏻
I guess whenever you see a car on fire, you just open your window and laugh at the driver?
What a vibe, just going for a ride with the mates in a small Clio :D
Reminds me of a similar trip ten years ago lmao, that shit makes me sound like a boomer.
This is a fantastic idea. More!
Only just found this video. Great video, some good memorable moments & stops. These guys really do get o well. BUT Did anyone else realise they only put 2 alloys on, & both on one side, surely the alloys should’ve both gone on the front or the rear, not on one side? And didn’t the previous owner say something g about rear brakes or bearings needed attention & he’d drive it anywhere within 2 hours safely lol keep,up the great videos / content guys. Daniel
Best video since the little guy left. Keep the momentum up with these 👊
Amazing. Love the final destination though. ❤
You guys have explored all over the UK. Now come to the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland this summer
banging little motor 👌
Ethan, Jack and Edwin a great team ✌️
Greatly enjoyed edwins presence in this one, should definitely be on screen everytime.
Edwins insurance fraud had me dying🤣🤣🤣🤣
14:36 my god that clio looks TINY compared to those SUVs!
Had a Clio 3 1.4 .Used to travel to a friends caravan in Whitby from the Midlands no problem and in suprising comfort 😊
I think I watched Edwin falling over that bench about 6 times before I could carry on. Absolutely killed me. How has it not been a highlight for the socials yet? 😂😂😂
I’ve watch all ya episodes boys I love this show you should 100% do this again more miles
Jack and Ethan absolutely killing it.
A classic car throttle video!
Love Edwin. Keep him in the videos!
Cool idea for an episode guys! What started to sound at the end of the trip is precisely the wheel bearing and as the seller also mentioned it was starting to get bad but which you ran out of :D
He did say 2-3 hours 😂
echo to other viewers, love this viedo, you two have really step-up since the other guy left (haha) keep it up guys!!!
Never thought I would see you guys without Alex, you three were such a team. Anyways, wishing the best to you guys and hope Alex does well too
Alex does very well, he just released another today tooo
Great Video as always ❤
Car Throttle, now 100% Alex free.
Love your work 👍
wdym
Really nice video ❤
BIG fan of Edwin! Really good addition. Loving these videos!
Hope have more cheap car content video like this :), keep it up CT teams
I've went and came back from Lisbon to Normandy with not much brakes left and it did. Old Clios are sturdy 💪💪💪💪
First mod before you get home that's Renault Life 😎🤣😂 Clio Rsi wheels as well 😎
I can't believe you let Edwin wear those trainers in the house. 😂
Can’t believe the pound coin! Love it! Cash back i call it always get some with a second hand car even if its 20p is great feeling
I really like you get hurt in the the engine😂😂😂😂😂
I really like the lineup of those videos...Just more frequent updates and would be perfect
Fantastic stuff
Had 5 Clios MK1 petrol 1.2 / 1.4. Some weren't trouble free, yes, but overall great little cars. When they are sought after, they are great and also fun.
Love them.2 have have got there shoes off and the other guys walks in with shoe on 😂
I had one of those new in 99 as a company car. Did 65k in one year in it, nothing went wrong until the gearbag blew up at 99.5k, recon gearbag in and it was still going with over 200k on it with someone else in the company driving it. Solid little motors.
these people are hilarious...first time watching their video
If the Magna shirt while discussing Always Sunny is a coincidence it's an absolute monster 😂
Many years ago I was given a Clio whilst my company car was on order. The fleet manager told me they used to have four of them but three had been written off… ‘do your best!’ 🤣
As if you guys went to Wrexham! Was literally looking out for me driving past in the background 😂
Really awesome challenge
I was looking at this car on Autotrader at the time then it suddenly went off before I managed to call. Glad you boys bought it 😂😂
I just have to chuckle a lil at this wee challenge. I did a 32 hour non stop drive before. Tho a good lil drive Is always nice!
Buzzing you came to my home land 🏴
I had one of these back in 2007 for my first car. Seeing the interior shots brings back memories. I had the 1.2 RN model and loved it. Only paid £450 back then so the fact they paid £749 is ridiculous!!😅
It's a classic now though
Love it guys!
