Spent 33 minute on the treadmill today instead of the usual 10. Thank you gentlemen. And as a wise man once said, motoring nirvana lays on the other side of 8,000 RPM. I've only ever been there on my Daytona, never in a car, and it is euphoric everytime.
@@E_Bro Literally any major city in the world. And almost all of suburban America. Almost anywhere within 5 miles of an interstate highway in rural America.
This episode has to be one of THE most emotional videos out there. Not saying James and Thomas should, BUT if they stayed silent for the entire video the cars could have done all the talking and we would still watch every second of it!
Haha, it sounded painful, not quite the orchestra of going up the rev range of other high revving exotica, from a GT4 RS to the absolute top end GMA T50.
@wiggly1 tbh I personally find GMA T50 V12 sound too monochrome, 'cleaned up' and almost mosquito-like....perhaps it's just the result of them going too far with exhaust restriction bc T50s sounds absolutely thrilling
@@jimspackman8527 give him one for his next Birthday 😄 oh can I have one too, please? Fantastic cars, I have to save more to get one and 10 years may give me the time!
This episode was absolutely perfect. From cinematography, to featuring Richard Hammond, to absolute joy on your faces driving these legends - been a subscriber for a few years now and I am so happy to see you guys thriving
I am so overwhelmed that you two did justice by articulating exactly what I think about the GTA and 911k. The format of the channel is personified through your love of cars. Never stop. You deserve every bit of love and support. Thank you for your dedication. Congratulations.
I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT SAY!!!!! Throttle House IS the new Top Gear. And having Richard Hammond showing up, has only strengthened my opinion, more then ever before.
I am deeply moved by the enthusiasm, time, money, and care that was put into this video. Thomas, James……. You both do such a wonderful job at giving the viewer an exceptional experience. Such an emotional, thrilling time sitting here watching a video about cars. Two amazing vehicles. I love you guys. Thank you
I am in totally agreement with you. Vid had me in smiles and almost tears with the experience Tom and james are having. It sort of felt like I was experiencing the same. Now that is the upmost credibility to the Boys and all the editing and camera work to make this work. It's as special as driving the cars themselves What cars though. Worth every single penny
It's F**king Eargasmic! I feel like the sound of that engine over 6000 RPM till redline might be the BEST engine sound I've ever heard... better than a 992 gt3/RS, GT4RS, possibly better than the LFA, naturally aspirated V8 and V12 Ferrari engines, and other amazing sounding V8's V10's and V12's (yes I know the Porsche engines are flat 6's, but they sound AMAZING at 8000+ RPM)....But then again none of those engines rev to 11,000 RPM!
I got 75% of the way through the video and realized I was watching in 720p, so I restarted in 4K and watched it all over again. Well worth it. Congrats to 3M! You guys deserve it!
For whatever reason, youtube can't keep it's resolution calibrated. It's been going on like this for awhile now. I've sent complaint after complaint after complaint, and they still haven't fixed that or it's sound issues either. I have resorted to adjusting the res manually before each video starts, but there's still nothing i can do to fix it's sound issues, sadly. RUclips jacked themselves and refuse to go back to what did work fine. Stubborn idiots
I watch as much car RUclips as most other people here I expect, but it's rare I actually get real ENVY at a video. Thomas driving that Alfaholics in Wales on a glorious summer day makes me furiously envious, peak petrolhead dream stuff there
I think one thing this channel doesn't get enough credit for is the audio mastering. Its phenomenal. So many car channels struggle with it, CarWow are one of the worst as they put a high pass filter on all of their outside shots and it ruins the engine sounds. Whereas the sounds of the engines on this channel always comes across so well, and given the difficult mic positions for getting a good engine sound amidst all the wind and road noise, its a real talent. Props!
Hammond being in the video proves that this is the new old top gear. The bit feels so natural and organic the next frame should be Thomas reversing into James’ sports lorry.
Is nobody going to mention something about that outro?!? The single BEST outro I've ever seen on YT! "And if you've been watching this on the toilet...mate, it's been a half hour" 😅😂🤣😂🤣
I will forever be a Throttle House fan. I was a Top Gear fan, a Grand Tour fan, and to me Throttle House has the Unique Privilege of being the spiritual successor to the shows that had the iconic trio. You guys make car videography magic that only I have felt from them. Long live Throttle House
Oh, the 11k RPM Tuthill Porsche! Ever since I saw the video with Chris Harris whipping that thing around a track I wanted every automotive YTer I watch to drive it ASAP.
I genuinely felt that moment with Thomas looking at the Alpha. The anticipation of driving your dream car is something else. Will it be good? What if it’s bad? What if it’s too good?! I went through that a few years ago when I bought my childhood dream car sight unseen. A Gen 2 Dodge Viper ACR was delivered to my driveway and all I could do was stare at it. All of those same thought came creeping in. My wife finally had to snap me out of it so I could pull it into the garage before the rain started. What a feeling!
Once again, this proves that we don't need heavier, more powerful, and more complex cars. We need lighter, simpler, and more straightforward cars. Cars should be cars, not a second apartment that you can drive around in.
Brilliant video! The Alfa Romeo GTA -R is my dream car. I was at an Alfaholics open day a few years back and I have DMed you guys my video of the event!
Seeing Thomas drive that Alfa reminded me how much I love driving myself. I'm having an amazing time driving my old Audi A6 Avant 2.4 on holidays through the Tuscan mountains and over the Gotthard pass on our way here. And my lovely little Lancia Y Elefantino Rosso back at home and recently to and on the Spa Francorchamps circuit. I have owned many cars over the years and though none of them were expensive (cheap might be a better word) I really enjoyed driving all of them and have great memories about many of them. From a Maserati Biturbo 420 to an MK1 Suzuki Swift GTi and a 2.4 5 cylinder diesel Lancia Lybra to a Renault Vel Satis. Driving fun doesn't have to be expensive. Keep driving!
I get the same feeling driving my 6 speed E60 M5. What a sensational car. Yes it's not a lightweight sports car, but it's such a car. I'm always grinning ear to ear every time I drive it
OMG when James hit 11k RPM that was glorious! I was watching this at 3am and I got a jolt of energy from that wonderful sound. I wish I could afford to get my car to rev to 11k - life goals!
@@dreamcrusher112 Funny you say that. I've had a Triumph Street Triple for years it's great with a 14k redline. I'd love a car with a 10k+ redline too though. I probably won't get one, but aim high right?
I hope you both take this as the ULTIMATE compliment (especially from an old man)……. I really and truly hope that your deep passion for older classic cars of all makes, is infectious for the newer generation of car enthusiasts. I have felt that too many young people don’t appreciate the classics and I was afraid they will die off…..with your passion I hope they catch on
Have you seen the prices of classic cars? They aren't goin' anywhere... but, younger folks will have a hard time getting their hands on a nice one for a good price.
People still love the classics. Normal people just cannot afford them, and in the cases of most classics anyone cares about, never would come close. It’s hard to be that passionate about a car you can’t own. These being super high dollar restomods is even more so the case. It’s sad to say but collectors like them too much for anyone else to be able to
My jaw legitimately dropped with that first pull in the 911. Spinning a 3.1 litre to 11,000 is just mind boggling. That is some insane engineering And I could not get my speakers loud enough for those pulls in the Alfa. What a magnificent noise 👌 Incredible video guys, easily one of your best. 3 million is very well deserved
That was honestly one of the best videos I have seen in a while. The cars are amazing but the way you spoke about them has reminded me of why I used to love cars and driving. Something has been lacking in my life for too long. Believe it or not this has really affected me and I can't convey how my memories are now flooding back. Thank you to both of you.
THIS video is perfect proof of why I always have, and always will, drive an Alfa Romeo as my fun car. NOTHING feels the same. I love my 06 GT 3.2 Busso V6's bellow so much, I go out for drives just to hear it.
The best video on RUclips, full stop. Your level is beyond anything else there is - much as these two absolutely astonishing cars you tested. Thank you.
Lol, the first few real pulls on the r290 and i decided to pauze and pick this up again with more time and more volume ( too much joy for 23:50 with the whole family upstairs in bed). Time to go to bed and enjoy this video with some time and volume tomorrow! Oh boy, that's going to be good!! 😊
This video was ridiculous. Everything about it. The production quality seems higher even than the grand tour - every single shot in both the car segments was so so beautiful, especially that panning shot of the Alfa. Shivers down my back. You guys are crazy.
Amazing video. Kinda feels like the torch has now been passed from the trio to the duo. TH has always been my new TG and now the two have come together, for only a moment or two, but it was enough. Loved it.
I finally got to drive my dream car this year. As a fellow enthusiast, this episode just resonates. People outside of our circle can't understand what things like this mean to us. Congrats Throttle House, just congrats. *Tips hat*
New car videos these days make me roll my eyes and groan, but vehicles like these, get me excited to tune in. Such is the way. I can’t afford either, but that’s never why I watch. Keep up the fantastic work
Oh man this video brought me to tears. What with Richard Hammond in it, Thomas getting to drive his dream car and just when I thought it couldn't get better, James revved that 911. And I didn't even notice you guys got 3 million subscribers. Congratulations! Must be because I've been watching you guys for almost 4 years it made me really happy. Wishing you a lot more success❤
I've watched you guys from the beginning, since seeing James overcome with emotion test driving a Lamborghini Huracan. (He cried.) You deserve all of your success, congratulations on hitting 3 million subscribers.
Observing these two cars is the highest peak of your career guys. Hardly can imagine doing something more puristic and higher class. So proud, so envy :D BUT WE NEED SOME JDM UNICORNS, PLEASE (SuperGT cars from early 90s maybe?)
The quality increase in your videos over the last few years... It is exciting. If you read this, great job team. You guys make content that fills me with excitement and motivation. I cannot wait for more videos.
Thank you. Thank you for making 33 minutes of pure car guy nirvana. This is right up there with the best of those other three automotive icons. I am moved to tears. Love you guys.
I can 100% attest to the GTAR. Something about Alfa Romeos thats just so beautiful and romantic. I couldn't afford the Alfaholics build so I made one myself but the saloon version. I love how they sell all the parts so you can make one that falls in your budget. My Super has 185hp/165lbft and I couldnt be happier. THank you guys for the great content as always.
That's awesome, man! At one point, I had genuinely considered a project Alfa. My concept involved an F20C from a donor Honda S2000. Not sure if anyone has a running finished version yet, but it would sure make for such an incredible (and totally reliable) driving experience. My hat's off to your build! Cheers 🍻
Superb footage and humor with Thomas 'grail' and James 'excalibur' ... Thread gently this fabulous cars is the secret as in other areas too: the way of gentleness - Judo.
Is it christmas? Two of the coolest cars ever made, with the alfa being my dream car, on my favorite youtube channel, with a cameo from my favorite car journalist, on some of the best roads in the world. Beautiful production quality, excellent poetic dialogue, wonderful in every way. Looking forward so much to the A110 video as well, you guys absolutely kill it and you deserve a lot more than just 3M subscribers.
One of your best so far, and was genuinely heartwarming to see Thomas in that Alfa. And the countryside wasn’t half bad either! Can’t wait to see what you make of that Alpine next!
A video that actually almost brought tears to my eyes torn because both cars are near and dear to my heart and childhood. Filled with humor and amazing filming and unicorn car knowledge. What else is required??! So jealous that I am not part of the team and unable to see these unicorns in real life. 😢. Great job gents, keep up the good work.👍
That was great half an hour, thank you. P.s. 911K at 4-8k RPM sounds like pure pleasure, an eargasm. Over 9k its subjectively uncomfortable, but i guess its meant to be this way.
I love everything about this episode. And when the cars outpace the witty banter of you two (pimp cane is classic!) then you really know you’re viewing car royalty. Thanks guys!
Hey guys, Just want to say that I have been a huge fan of this show for years now and I am so proud of how far this series has come. Richard Hammond is a legend, also thank you for making cars fun again. You’re doing an incredible job 🙌🏻
Take a bow, Gents! You guys just keep elevating. There is an incredible balance you guys strike when reviewing unfathomably expensive cars that most of us will never see let alone drive. Yet, its always engaging, relatable, and of the highest quality. This video moved me. It is art. You guys are the GOATS in the digital landscape. Well done and thank you.
I don’t normally ‘comment’ or ‘like’ any videos, but this takes both for having the 2 best cars presented by 2 very likeable humans. I think I am the British Thomas. I still want the Alfa more than my next breath, but MY GOD that 911 is epic.
When I watched Chris Harris drive the 911k for the first time around the track, I nearly lost it. That car is the epitome of what a car should be, and I cannot even fathom what it is like to drive. I'm so glad that both of you had the privilege to drive both of those masterpieces. This episode was fantastic. You guys deserve all of the success that has come to you and that will continue to come. You guys are my favorite channel by far. Bravo 🤙
So proud of you guys!!!! - I have been watching pretty much since the start. I have said it dozens of times, you guys are - and have been for quite some time, THE best car content on any platform. Kudos to you al!!
Thomas, James, everyone at Throttle House, thank you! THANK YOU! You give reviews a true twist in the best and most exciting ways possible! Every video that comes out has always been fun to watch and so informative, can’t ever ask for more! Keep up the amazing work!!!
Beautiful to see 2 good guy's realising dreams,just 2 petrolheads experiencing motoring bliss......As 1 of your UK subscribers great to see you enjoying the fruits of what this tiny island gets up to!! Drive safely chaps 👍
I have never driven an Alfa, the Alfaholics GTA-R is not my dream car, but the thing your videos manage to do better than literally anyone else, is convey how incredibly special the experience is. Maybe it's because I know how special that car is to Thomas but I had literal chills. Bravo again gents.
Only these two bring this kind of MADNESS to the masses!!! And THANK YOU boys!!! This is auto perfection to the extreme. It's like a Singer on steroids and herion.and MDMA. Lol. The Alphaholics is a masterpiece of artisan craftsmanship at its finest. I loved the video and Congratulations on 3M. Can't wait to see 6 M chaps. Keep going boys.
Watching Thomas experience the Alfa was amazing, but this probably was James' best review of a car until now. The cars, the emotions, the filming, and most importantly, the people
1. Definitely thought I was already subscribed , congrats on 3M! 2. Meeting Richard Hammond and driving both of those amazing cars?? Jealous is an understatement
Not even kidding, I got emotional watching that Porsche go to 11,000. My mouth was agape and also smiling. Sweet jebuz, what an absolute marvel of a machine. Simply stunning.

Not the show with Hammond and the other two?
How these two pack the punch reminiscent of those three is awesome
Not really the same thing. These guys drive the cars they review on camera.
What about car trek?
you spoiled it dude 😭😭😭😭, w take tho
everytime that 911 revs I'm like SHIFT UP SHIFT UP... and it's only at 9,000 rpm. pure insanity.

2 of the most desirable cars in the world. Fuck me, the 911 must be the best sounding road car ever built. Orgasmic.
Eargasmic!
Right? I had to go watch the LFA episode after hearing the 911K
I dont know, I think if someone someday alters V10 to rev to 11,000rpm like Carrera gt, it would sound similarly aggressive, but with a V10 sound.
The only thing that is close in terms of sound is the GMA T.50 that thing is wild as well.
@@Drummin003or valkyrie maybe
I've nothing to say that hasn't already been said, so just a simple "thank you" to the TH team for a job well done.
Why did this video make me cry? The cars, the landscape, the people, the music-it all just makes you realize that this world can be a beautiful place.
Same here, almost broke in tears watching that Alfa, and the landscapes, that music, the engine, with a huge stupid smile in my face
I cried too and I don't even know why haha, I'm amazed
Great art is supposed to do that to a person.
James's reaction to the revs at 13:15 is probably my favorite moment of automotive journalism, I ride a bike and I can relate.
No I don’t think you can.

And I could not get my speakers loud enough for those pulls in the Alfa. What a magnificent noise 👌
Incredible video guys, easily one of your best. 3 million is very well deserved
That was honestly one of the best videos I have seen in a while. The cars are amazing but the way you spoke about them has reminded me of why I used to love cars and driving. Something has been lacking in my life for too long. Believe it or not this has really affected me and I can't convey how my memories are now flooding back. Thank you to both of you.
THIS video is perfect proof of why I always have, and always will, drive an Alfa Romeo as my fun car. NOTHING feels the same. I love my 06 GT 3.2 Busso V6's bellow so much, I go out for drives just to hear it.
Sometimes I rev up my 981 Spyder in my garage for the same reason 🎉❤
Busso sound is beyond comparison...

Hanging out with the Hammster, and a car guy’s car guy driving his dream car.
Damn it guys… well done. 👌
“Corn and shit”
-Richard Tuthill 2024
😂😂
The reason why it goes like stink lol! The look of the 911 engine.. still doesn't do it for me.
Tuthill is the thin line between lunatic and genius! 🤣🤣
As an avid Nebraska Cornhuskers fan I approve! 😅❤
I love anything by Alfaholics but that 911K is utterly stunning.
The best video on RUclips, full stop. Your level is beyond anything else there is - much as these two absolutely astonishing cars you tested. Thank you.
HAAAMOND!
I read this in my head in a screaming CLARKSON! voice.
“HAAAAMOND YOU BLOODY IDIOT!”
Hammond cameo contributes to my fan theory that Andy Wilman secretly produces Throttle House.
This is peak Cartube. You guys rock.
Gotta say, I fricken love old Porsche’s but that Alfa is proper gorgeous. Manic Pixie Dream Girl energy.
I love this episode! Amazing! So much better than showing the new microwave from Lamborghini
Lol, the first few real pulls on the r290 and i decided to pauze and pick this up again with more time and more volume ( too much joy for 23:50 with the whole family upstairs in bed). Time to go to bed and enjoy this video with some time and volume tomorrow! Oh boy, that's going to be good!! 😊
This channel is as close as you can get to what Top Gear was back in the day with Clarkson, May and Hammond. EpisodeS we those 6 would be crazy
Or even better.
That 911K is the stuff of dreams😮💨
This could be the best RUclips car video ever made. You guys need a tv show
That camera transition while the car is going into third at the montage at 6:30 was so expertly done, me eyes closed not expecting it, I shed a tear 😘
I know people have said it in the past and its been like this for a long time but...
THE PRODUCTION QUALITY OF THIS VIDEO IS INSANE!!!! 👏👏👏
This video was ridiculous. Everything about it. The production quality seems higher even than the grand tour - every single shot in both the car segments was so so beautiful, especially that panning shot of the Alfa. Shivers down my back. You guys are crazy.
So much gratitude and respect for what the Throttle House team has created. Thank you!
Amazing video. Kinda feels like the torch has now been passed from the trio to the duo. TH has always been my new TG and now the two have come together, for only a moment or two, but it was enough. Loved it.
I finally got to drive my dream car this year. As a fellow enthusiast, this episode just resonates. People outside of our circle can't understand what things like this mean to us. Congrats Throttle House, just congrats. *Tips hat*
New car videos these days make me roll my eyes and groan, but vehicles like these, get me excited to tune in. Such is the way. I can’t afford either, but that’s never why I watch. Keep up the fantastic work
6:30 to 6:50.
Pure bliss. I felt that “oh my god” deep in my core. Go Thomas and James! Cheers to the next 3 million that will join the TH army!
Oh man this video brought me to tears. What with Richard Hammond in it, Thomas getting to drive his dream car and just when I thought it couldn't get better, James revved that 911. And I didn't even notice you guys got 3 million subscribers. Congratulations! Must be because I've been watching you guys for almost 4 years it made me really happy. Wishing you a lot more success❤
I've watched you guys from the beginning, since seeing James overcome with emotion test driving a Lamborghini Huracan. (He cried.) You deserve all of your success, congratulations on hitting 3 million subscribers.
Observing these two cars is the highest peak of your career guys. Hardly can imagine doing something more puristic and higher class. So proud, so envy :D
BUT
WE NEED SOME JDM UNICORNS, PLEASE
(SuperGT cars from early 90s maybe?)
The quality increase in your videos over the last few years... It is exciting. If you read this, great job team. You guys make content that fills me with excitement and motivation. I cannot wait for more videos.
Thank you. Thank you for making 33 minutes of pure car guy nirvana. This is right up there with the best of those other three automotive icons. I am moved to tears. Love you guys.
Hands down the best camera work in automotive youtube. These big production videos are sooooooo good
I can 100% attest to the GTAR. Something about Alfa Romeos thats just so beautiful and romantic. I couldn't afford the Alfaholics build so I made one myself but the saloon version. I love how they sell all the parts so you can make one that falls in your budget. My Super has 185hp/165lbft and I couldnt be happier. THank you guys for the great content as always.
That's awesome, man! At one point, I had genuinely considered a project Alfa. My concept involved an F20C from a donor Honda S2000. Not sure if anyone has a running finished version yet, but it would sure make for such an incredible (and totally reliable) driving experience. My hat's off to your build! Cheers 🍻
Superb footage and humor with Thomas 'grail' and James 'excalibur' ... Thread gently this fabulous cars is the secret as in other areas too: the way of gentleness - Judo.
One of the most emotional moments on this channel for sure. I personably cannot recover from the scream of this Porsche! Thanks for sharing!
Is it christmas? Two of the coolest cars ever made, with the alfa being my dream car, on my favorite youtube channel, with a cameo from my favorite car journalist, on some of the best roads in the world. Beautiful production quality, excellent poetic dialogue, wonderful in every way.
Looking forward so much to the A110 video as well, you guys absolutely kill it and you deserve a lot more than just 3M subscribers.
One of your best so far, and was genuinely heartwarming to see Thomas in that Alfa. And the countryside wasn’t half bad either! Can’t wait to see what you make of that Alpine next!
This is basically prime top gear right here....music, vistas, actual real joy - Well done!
I am speechless. Amazing job guys!
Like this video was so perfect it feels like I should have paid for it.
A video that actually almost brought tears to my eyes torn because both cars are near and dear to my heart and childhood. Filled with humor and amazing filming and unicorn car knowledge. What else is required??! So jealous that I am not part of the team and unable to see these unicorns in real life. 😢. Great job gents, keep up the good work.👍
This video encompasses every reason we subscribe to this channel. Fantastic work as always, and congratulations on reaching 3 million subscribers! 😊
That was great half an hour, thank you.
P.s. 911K at 4-8k RPM sounds like pure pleasure, an eargasm. Over 9k its subjectively uncomfortable, but i guess its meant to be this way.
Might be the most jaw dropping thumbnail you guys have made so far!
I love everything about this episode. And when the cars outpace the witty banter of you two (pimp cane is classic!) then you really know you’re viewing car royalty. Thanks guys!
Hey guys,
Just want to say that I have been a huge fan of this show for years now and I am so proud of how far this series has come. Richard Hammond is a legend, also thank you for making cars fun again.
You’re doing an incredible job 🙌🏻
Much love from Austin, Tx
Take a bow, Gents! You guys just keep elevating. There is an incredible balance you guys strike when reviewing unfathomably expensive cars that most of us will never see let alone drive. Yet, its always engaging, relatable, and of the highest quality. This video moved me. It is art. You guys are the GOATS in the digital landscape. Well done and thank you.
I don’t normally ‘comment’ or ‘like’ any videos, but this takes both for having the 2 best cars presented by 2 very likeable humans. I think I am the British Thomas. I still want the Alfa more than my next breath, but MY GOD that 911 is epic.
When I watched Chris Harris drive the 911k for the first time around the track, I nearly lost it. That car is the epitome of what a car should be, and I cannot even fathom what it is like to drive. I'm so glad that both of you had the privilege to drive both of those masterpieces. This episode was fantastic. You guys deserve all of the success that has come to you and that will continue to come. You guys are my favorite channel by far. Bravo 🤙
So great that Richard Hammond was game for this. Awesome job guys! You should have given him Canadian Tire money, though.
So proud of you guys!!!! - I have been watching pretty much since the start. I have said it dozens of times, you guys are - and have been for quite some time, THE best car content on any platform. Kudos to you al!!
Thomas, James, everyone at Throttle House, thank you! THANK YOU! You give reviews a true twist in the best and most exciting ways possible! Every video that comes out has always been fun to watch and so informative, can’t ever ask for more! Keep up the amazing work!!!
Beautiful to see 2 good guy's realising dreams,just 2 petrolheads experiencing motoring bliss......As 1 of your UK subscribers great to see you enjoying the fruits of what this tiny island gets up to!! Drive safely chaps 👍
Waited for this one. The 911K is a beast. Would take it over a Singer any day. Chris Harris was literally sweating driving it
I have never driven an Alfa, the Alfaholics GTA-R is not my dream car, but the thing your videos manage to do better than literally anyone else, is convey how incredibly special the experience is. Maybe it's because I know how special that car is to Thomas but I had literal chills. Bravo again gents.
Only these two bring this kind of MADNESS to the masses!!! And THANK YOU boys!!! This is auto perfection to the extreme. It's like a Singer on steroids and herion.and MDMA. Lol. The Alphaholics is a masterpiece of artisan craftsmanship at its finest. I loved the video and Congratulations on 3M. Can't wait to see 6 M chaps. Keep going boys.
This episode genuinely made me laugh out loud many times. Thank you guys for sharing an amazing video ❤️🥰😍 Richard was priceless 😂
This is the best car content on RUclips. Period. These boys are masters of this particular universe.
Really looking forward to your A110 video
I love watching your videos. They remind me of the top gear years 08-09. Just pure car geekiness. Thanks for keeping the flame alive!
Has a better car review video ever been made? Perfect subjects, perfectly shot, perfectly presented, with real emotion.
Holy fucking shit, tuthill and alfaholics, we're in for some stuff today.
That ALFA ROMEO IS ABSOLUTELY EPIC!❤
So happy yall were able to experience these beauties. Favorite channel on RUclips!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Watching Thomas experience the Alfa was amazing, but this probably was James' best review of a car until now. The cars, the emotions, the filming, and most importantly, the people
1. Definitely thought I was already subscribed , congrats on 3M!
2. Meeting Richard Hammond and driving both of those amazing cars?? Jealous is an understatement
Not even kidding, I got emotional watching that Porsche go to 11,000. My mouth was agape and also smiling. Sweet jebuz, what an absolute marvel of a machine. Simply stunning.
