Also for those who comment saying belts weren’t changed etc, this car is as fully done, belts, pulleys turbo, water pump aux belts. The lot. Watch the full series of videos. This is heartbreaking for the autosportivo guys and John
You guys done a cracking job and you should be proud. It's a shame it ended the way it did but that idiot was disrespectful to John's ride. Truly moronic behaviour. Hopefully it'll be sorted out and John will get to enjoy the car. Well done guys! 😊👍
Feel proud of what you did fella's. The kindness and effort you put in should be admired. Theres not alot of people in the world that would go above and beyond to help someome especially when its out of you own pocket. Lets hope she gets back on the road.
Feel so bad for you guys after putting so much time, care and effort into this incredibly kind gesture, I really hope that Johns “mate” repairs the car and that John finally gets to enjoy the fruit of your efforts Much love guys 😎
Great video again guys, been looking forward to seeing it for weeks 🙈 very hard watch at the end, gutted for you all after all the time and effort you put into it, could see how gutted you were for John, the coop didn’t let anyone down …hope she rises again, cheers Kevin (le69)
I admire you guys for doing a wonderful thing, then for some twat to completely thrash the life out of the car, I'm so sorry for this. I'm Irish myself and I got warning bells as soon as the guy started talking. Fair play to you Antony for challenging him.
This was really hard to watch. I feel really bad for you guy's. Ant is such a chill person but you can tell his really pissed. Btw i have a 20vt coupe myself, with a 5 year old timing beld. This made me kind a nervous
I was still watching the vid when i posted the last comment but damn......after all that work and costs this beauty gets an abrupt end. I felt your anger and still you were nice to the guy. Respect. At least you guys have proven that your capable of rescuing a Coupe that as destined for the scrapyard. Any new cars for the channel soon? 👍😎
@@autosportivobedford , Ow Alfa 156! You need to do a 2.4 Stilo Abarth also. I keep spamming otherwise i drive one myself from Holland to Bedford haha. Keep it up legends.
Sad to see how this video ended. The way John's mate ragged it off the junction in 1st, no respect whatsoever. Who needs a friend like that. You guys did a fantastic job resurrecting the coop and the whole series has been a joy to watch. You all went above and beyond. Let his mate, if you could even call him that, fix it.
Great video! I laughed soo hard during the JP and James house tour. Sad end for the video. That was no way to treat someone else's car, you could hear it on the video. The worst is his mate ruined John's first drive. Auto Sportivo did everything right and is giving more to get it fixed again even tho it isn't their fault.
Shocking outcome, but your behaviour Ants is truly Italian: generous, so good willing and sadly you were victim of it here. Hat off to the team though, the chaps are just top class!
I wonder if the timing belt cover on the bottom did not cover completely, like if it was missing some bolts or something, seems most likely that rocks got into the timing belt and that is why it broke, I also saw in the previous videos how the guiding cast around the crankshaft sprocket was broken, most likely completely unrelated, but is a small example of how that belt could be exposed to the elements and that is not great. Now, that was not a great way to treat a friends car either, but I can't expect much from a BMW driver.
Gutted for you after all that hard work, such a lovely coop only to be driven disrespectfully 😬 Don't let it get you down and keep up the good work, love watching your content👍
I absolutely love your video's. If it wasnt for the coupe returning to its owner .....this could have easily been a " The Hangover ( UK ) ". Anyways , you guys deserve more views. Bunch of different characters together.. Keep it up. 👍😎
That is soooo gutting, so sorry, for you guys & John.. Maybe there's a reason, maybe if John had have taken it out that day, he would have crashed, so God/the universe decided to throw a spanner in the works (or a stone into the cam cover) & stop it happening.. That's the only way to look at it, then it doesn't hurt so much.. 🙏
@@autosportivobedford There's always reasons brother, shit happens, & it may seem unfair, but there can easily be another level we aren't always able to see, & we do benefit from it without realising, know what I mean? Thats how I`d rather see it in cases like this ☺
That was hard to see so much work and long drive and completely destroyed so sad ,I would be so happy to be on camera and ave work done on my car ,see that not right for you guys I got my own car completely fuck because some good garage done crap job and destroyed my car and now can't afford to fix or get to MOT,but love to see you guys working hard keep going please
@@autosportivobedford was on end was really great job you done or your great team 💪, if I was closer I would come see you guys and be on camera 😜 and probably get job done on my car I 1250 pounds to get my car destroyed at protryres😞 on my local garage and on end is fuck not gonna make next week mot and probably gonna lose the car ,but is life ,but please not let yourself down was great content and like many people love to ave some done like you guys done just was the best really like and enjoy see all the work and laugh you guys get to 👍👍👍
Well done guys for putting your money where your mouth is. Many people would just take the coupe and sell it on. You made it roadworthy, spent money and time getting it into Ireland only for a supposedly good mate to thrash an old car and ultimately break it before John could enjoy it. Remember guys its not your fault 👍👍👍
So it was that goon thrashing it thru gravel that mullered the belts......think he felt entitled to cane it just because he thinks hes the big man with a fast 400bhp diesel.....did he want to be blurred out before or after he screwed Johns car up??? He shouldnt have been anywhere near his mates car....poor John. And im nervous this guy is down to fix it! Great road trip though and epic drone footage.....dont let this experience ruin it for another worthy car lover if you get the opportunity agsin...you did good work all round lads. Enjoy those pints.
Ay Caramba! A sad ending to a very enjoyable road trip with four very likeable lads. Do hope it will eventually have a happy ending with the new cylinder head... Just for clarification: are you saying it was the gravel getting into the belts that sparked off the damage? Or red-lining the engine too much? I have an old 3.0 GTV (phase 2) and I always take the Busso up to 5-6K revs at least once on my trips out. It's where the music plays, right? But are you saying that this is bad practise on all 20+ year old Italian coups? 🤔
Oh no your fine. Unfortunately gravel got into the aux belt area and took out the timing belt. Might add there was no under-tray on the car and the aux belts so sit low on the coupes. All belts were brand new and we just covered 500 miles in the car.
@@autosportivobedfordI was going to mention if there was no under tray. I had my coupe for 16 years and a lot of street racing in my younger days and also been at n-ring a couple of times etc but I had an under tray and never any problems like this. Such a shame 🙁 Keep up the great content guys! 👊🏻
So just to clarify : You guys did 450 miles in atrocious weather , made it all the way to Ireland with the Coupe performing faultlessly , only for matey boy to drive it and show no mechanical sympathy ( his gear changing was harsh ) and throw a belt. Right !!......Will matey boy be contributing to the repair job ?
@@fatwalletboy2a simple question mate nobody can say what actually happened with zero investigation... like your guy said either gravel or its the tensioners. Im only asking as a humble long time viewer thats fleeced a few coupes fs😅😅
Firstly, that's a bit stereotypical. Secondly, they were in the UK still, they were not in Ireland once on that entire trip, they were in Northern Ireland. Like going to Wales or Scotland.
After all the work you guys have put in and for him to disrespect the car that he at is awful. That’s not even his car. It’s his mates car. I’d never treat someone else’s property with that disrespect. I feel upset for John and you guys. I’d be furious and be pumping a large bill in to johns mate.
Exactly you dont just junp into a mates car and cane the arse off it like this guy did......yeah feed the power in and make sure she goes but this guy just thought he was a fighter pilot from the first turn of the key

Pity John's "friend" is a total wanker, who shows his lack of respect for the car in this way, should be ex friend by now !
If anyone wants to read description on all the work involved
Big man with his “I’m used to 500-600bhp”. Uhhh, you’re hard 💪🏻😂
