When's the episode about the new ktm coming out ?
Seated heats 😂
YES.. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to have a DECENT dealer... And YOU SAY frustrating??? >>>
My Ex GF found a car she wanted to replace her old rust box, so, I phoned the dealer, asked the various questions, got everything sorted and said to him... "Ok, we'll be coming by motorbike (my old Suzuki RF900RW), we should be there by 4 PM, and we're coming from Grimsby (His dealership was near Blackpool 155 Mile away from us), so... we are PRETTY MUCH SET on the car so please, hold on to it till closing time, thank you"... And he agreed to wait...
So we donned our motorcycle gear, checked the weather (said there might be rain, and so took waterproofs too), and then filled up at a local garage and off we set...
We get to about Doncaster area, and then the bloody heavens opened up! So we pull over and quickly suit up with waterproofs and set off again. An hour later we've battled through dead slow traffic on the motorways around Manchester (by this time getting as cold and wet as just simply jumping fully dressed into a pool!) We decided to stop at a service station around Bolton for a quick cigarette break, at which point I decided to give the dealer a call to let him know we were about half hour or so away....
For him to say...
"I just sold the car...."
2 Hours/117 Miles in the pissing cold and rain, battling with a good section of the motorway that was blocked by non moving traffic, and facing THE EXACT SAME PROSPECTS heading home... WITHOUT the thing for doing ALL THIS in the first place!!!!!
I was HALF IN MIND to carry on to his garage and break ALL the windows of EVERY CAR he had in his lot!!! Buuuut... I had 'The Missus' with me who was soppin' wet (behave! NOT that kind of erm... 😏), and shivering, bless her. So, we had a quick warm up coffee/tea, I refilled the tank, and we set off back (yeah, I made her a bath as soon as we got back (I'm a well trained puppy haha))...
But THAT DEALER... He KNEW what we were going through to get there and buy the car!!!
W H A T A N AB-SO-LUTE C N U T!!! 😠😠😠
😎🇬🇧
Best it could be 8000 euro e 61 400 hp and 800 Nm at 290 at TKM with new gearbox and turbos

Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
The trust Alex’s wife has in him blows my mind. My parents could never. Especially after the great car debacle of 2012.
Mum needed a new car, big enough for 3 kids and room for the dog too. She’d been looking around for a month prior and had found a nice 2010 A6 Avant. She’d been to view it already and loved it. She said she’d be back next week to pay and collect it after it was serviced and MOT’d.
Come collection day, Mum had been called in to work, so Dad went to collect it instead. Problem solved, or so she thought.
Turns out, Dad had tried to argue with the guy about a very minor scratch on the paint which mum already knew about and didn’t bother her. Dad then refused to take the car and instead came home with a 2006 Jaguar X-type SALOON, almost exactly like the one he drove. We now had two saloon cars, neither of which could fit 3 car seats in at the same time and also no room for the dog. What he was thinking, to this day, I still don’t know.
This story could very well be on the podcast 😂😂.
@@Mecanic0_exe I’m up for that.
Alex, ‘old out your ‘and 🤝
it's a 30 second story@@Mecanic0_exe
I think your mother will call out your dad a blithering idiot for buying the same car as his. Or he could get away with it because he is driving a Jaaaag.
@@earlgumban oh she called him much worse than that. Despite having 2 jaaaaags
There’s a lever to change the color of the interior lighting, if you hold it until it flashes the interior accent lighting goes into “party mode” which just cycles the colors automatically

Somehow it has the same vibe as the "MALEGG" 😅😂
That matt from carwow review part everyone missed 😅
needed more stick of truth
He needed to hurl the parcel shelf haha
Didn’t miss it, even did the head room action
not gonna lie that impression of dealers or garages in general is pretty accurate
Love how he angles the camera in the photos to look taller
Don't know what you mean. I've met Alex and he's tall for his height.
@@althejazzman 😆
@@althejazzmanhe looks even shorter than Hammond when you see them together
I bought my latest Polo from James at BJH. He was super helpful the whole way through and a real pleasure to deal with. Proper old school car dealer!!
Name a more iconic duo than Derek and Nigel/Patrick and Brian

my mum has a countryman of a similar year. if you press and hold the light for the ambient lighting until the overhead light flashes, it constantly flows and changes colours
I once sold an M6 GC and the buyer mentioned cash - I didnt cotton till he turned up with a literal shoebox with nearly £30k in used notes. He was super dodgy, but I managed to confince him to give me his ID and I was desperate: so did the deal. Bearly slept a wink expecting the door to be kicked in. Went to the bank first thing, crapping it that the money was fake. They told me they had to count it by hand because it was 'damp'.
It was all there, all real, and actually over by £80 (told the guy and he said to keep it).
Great content as always. The podcast is my goto driving companion! Just as a heads up: In the UK you need to declare product placement. I know it's yootoob but still possible to get done and its in theirr T&Cs, so consider adding it to the description and clicking the 'My video contains paid promotion like a product placement, sponsorship or endorsement' check box. 🙌
I bought my car for 10k in cash, I don't get why people are afraid.
@@eurasianlynx in the age of the internet, and how many scummy people there are out there, there's many reasons to be afraid to sell a car to someone paying with cash (also with bank transfer ironically) main one being that they could take the car and the v5 and it turns out the cash is fake
once had a Guy come in to my shop and he wanted a around 110k car in cash said i dont take cash for a car that cost 110k maybe at 15k but not a 110k car he came back 2 weeks later with and wanted to buy the same car by bank Transfer and i still dont know to this day why he wanted to by the car in cash he wasnt even that dodgy
@@eurasianlynxbecause 10k is alot to lose. And you cant lose money when its digital
The other consideration is the bank gave me a grilling on where the cash came from due to money laundering rules. It hadn't occurred to me before they asked for proof.
Iirc I was able to show the car and V5 transfer receipt. Never again... Bacs all the way
His wife: meeting, heated seats, ok... go buy it please!
Is Alex sick to drive her to work, OR is she sick of it that he drives her to work? 🤪😉
Omg that was hilarious! 🤣🤣 more Patrick and Derrick please 🙏🏻 🤣
Next time with costumes :D
That caught me of guard 😂😂😂
You mentioned that the barndoorns might not be as practical, and you’re right, but, it very possibly does have a kick to open sensor behind the bumper. My brother has it on his and works very well. Kick once for the right, twice for the left as well. Springs in the doors should be strong enough to open it completely without touching it 🤙🏻
Only problem is minis are full of plastic engine parts that fail regularly! Seems to be a common problem with BMW group cars!
It's a Nissan/Renault problem too. They can't save that much money by doing it.
General car problem. Vag, Ford, all of them
Not a problem on Japanese cars except Nissan which is just Japanese for Renault these days
Japanese cars are over rated that’s why you hardly see any on UK roads compared to European car manufacturers
@@Jhonjhonray the reason you don't notice them is because they're not stopped on the hard shoulder.
Strip the door cards off the barn doors and check for cavity wax, in 2016/17 the garage I was at had an influx of these for warranty work for rusting around the rear handles just have a look inside the doors if they’ve been replaced they’ll be loaded with cavity wax
I could hear the chain rattling from here when you started it 😂
Fuel injector noise. These new bmw engines don’t have chain rattle problems like the Peugeot engines.
Yea sure wouldn't mind seeing it on the v2 channel
I work at the mini plant and we use these for ferry cars, four blokes each shift use them twenty hours a day rarely going over 30mph, last car done 62k miles with out a service lol and it was a reject originally, great cars, oh and if it has easy access you can open the split doors by waving your foot underneath it.
Ferry cars?
To move people around the Mini factory compound from one side of the site to another
@@grahamcutress47 Why don't they use golf cards for that?
@@tubejorritCheaper to use rejected cars from the production line.
you lads are having waaaay too much fun,,,and I Love it,,keep up the good work
This is bar none one of the best RUclips channels of all time. Y'all are just having a good time and a camera happens to be on. I love it.
In Germany it's actually still very common to pay in cash. Even 50k sometimes. 😂
Nur Bares ist Wahres! 👌
This isn't Germany tho, bank transfer is literally the same thing 😂
I know right, even other parts of EU, i paid 15K€ on hand.
Same in the US, if you're buying a used car
They'll be buying it against one of their various "businesses" though.
Great buy Alex! I just picked up a 2020 Clubman Exclusive and am besotted with it, incredibly refined thing. The barn doors are hilarious, and they should both open when you hold down the boot button on the key - just make sure it's not against a wall or another car! Great colour combo too, Melting Silver has helped the car age really well.
Yep, the key button trick is so cool. I love the clubman and a Cooper works version is also 300whp and 4wd!
We need to see the wife’s reaction and first impressions
agreed
Only 3 minutes in but I think the Alfa Guilietta would be a good shout for something like this
I'm sure Alex likes his wife, and wouldn't want her car breaking down more often than Kanye West.
Good joke or you know nothing about cars
@@jjb4531whats wrong with the guilietta? my mum had one and it was fine
@@jjb4531 Go on then, what's wrong with Guliettas?
@@jjb4531 mate family has one with 145k no issues performs amazing.
The wheel bearing dealership bit was pure gold
Omfg the way u said calne .. all the Wiltshire people have just died laughing I've never heard anyone mess it up that bad
😂
for sure
I'm dying, never heard it pronounced that way 😂
Rory making it sound like a small Italian town 😂
😂
its so wholesome to hear alex talk about his wife so positively and so often
Such a joy watching this one - because it feels genuine and down to earth!
Can you and Taylor make a video on what you check when buying a car? It would be great to see what you guys look for when purchasing a car so I can do the same
She deserves the world for putting up with you Alex.
16:42 Alex amazed by a car that’s not rusty 😅
Alex amazed by bmw covering the bottom with plastic so the rust can't be seen.
2:48 & 3:08 Seated Heats 😂😂
captain obv
Must be knew here 😂 this has been a ongoing joke w these guys for some time now
Would love to see Clubman updates. My Clubman Diesel Cooper (Chilli Pack), the barn doors open if you swipe your foot under the centre of the bumper. Two swipes, opens both. Awesome if you are carrying something with no free hands.
"It's a manual? Buy it, please!" She's a keeper, Alex!
Knowing that Alex and Taylor agree that Mini’s are good has made me happy because a Mini Cooper is my dream car that I can’t afford at the moment (mainly,y the insurance ) but hopefully will be able to in the future
UP! GTi !!! Mighty Car Mods have just gone through a CRAPLOAD OF STRESS converting standard Up! to a GTI Up!, and, come on, they're like little fast/zippy GO-CARTS! ESPECIALLY IF YOU re-wheel it, swap zorsts & Intercooler, upgrade suspension and tune it!! 😉 👌😎🇬🇧
Had one of those as a courtesy car once. The main disappointment for me was the line down the rear doors in viewing from the rear view mirror. It basically blanks out the road behind you. Can't really check who's behind you before you enjoy the open road
If alex doesn’t have ADHD I’d be very very shocked!! lol
100% 😂
Everybody has it 🙄
@@user-qu5ju9ph2y I hardly think so 😂😂😂
@@user-qu5ju9ph2yalright boomer, just cause back in the day autistic and adhd kids were just ‘badly behaved and weird’ doesn’t mean it’s true
@@Aaron19987 I agree to a point, but there are a large number of people who have diagnosed themselves based on Tik Tok videos, not to mention the fact that you can pretty much pay for a diagnosis from unscrupulous therapists
Love a good mini! the key has a button for the boot it should open the right door if you keep hold of the button. Once that’s open if you hold the button again it’ll open the left door
My wife! *Borat accent* gets me every time
Just ordered 2x Accelera IOTA ST-68 for my Range Rover Autobiography with 20” wheels through Tire Streets. With the AA code they were £130 delivered. Unbelievable price. Thanks Alex, fingers crossed they are decent boots.
Keep up the fantastic content. Love watching you and Taylor (and Rory)! 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻
More Patrick and Derek please! Superb!
Yeah.. inspecting old dodgy BMW 🤣
Taylor working his big tool always makes me happy! Thank you for the content guys!
hes so hot
The most middle class car ever!😂
2:44 Alex: "with seated heats"
Heated seats, manual, looks nice...buy it please...it IS Alex' wife.
Great buy guys, I am now on my 4th new mini ( hatch, clubman and two countrymen) having owned three of the originals back in the 70s. They always make me smile when I drive them I have now got a 4 year old Countryman JCW absolute hoot to drive but took four adults plus lots of lugage back from Heathrow yesterday no problems Keep up the great content 😁
great purchase - I just helped my parents find a 2021 Clubman Cooper and we are all very impressed with it, as well. They used to have an S 211 E-Class estate and wanted something smaller but still nice enough to drive on the autobahn. Obviously, the ride is not as smooth as the one in the E-Class with AIRMATIC was, but it's alright. The engine, although only a 1.5 is quite peppy and whilst I normally don't like double clutch transmissions, the one in the Mini doesn't bother me. Surprisingly the interior space - especially in the back - is almost as bis as the E-Class was, except for the boot of course. It's got LED headlights, Sunroof, Sat-Nav, adaptive Cruise, electric seats and some other stuff you wouldn't necessarily expect in a compact car. Was quite pricey though - had to pay 24.500 Euros with 30.000 km on the clock...
It’s always a good day when alex uploads 🚗
As someone who's paid 10k+ usd cash for a car multiple times, you mentioning that certainly threw me for a loop. That's pretty normal in the states.
£10,000 for the wife? Naahh😅
Bit much innit
some people will put that into a wedding ring alone, rather buy a car and take it to the ring haha
@@Dsw009
I paid less for my wife :))))
10k only poor lass
Cheapskate why not
We definitely need that update and Wife’s reaction on the car! Amazing purchase lads, fun episode and distractor as always!
I’m not buying a boring car buys a boring car 😂
Exactly what I thought like saying q3 is boring is crazy 😂😂😂 mini is just boring version of bmw
I love these minis, this probably won’t get seen but if Masie is going to travel in the boot of the mini, where the rear seat backs mount to the car, there is a bracket you can lift up and click the seats into that changes them into a more upright position to give more space in the boot.
Jeez, not another beemer, USE YOUR IMAGINATION!
Was thinking the same thing
sorry boys, I work for a car auction company and in the ten years ive been there i have yet to drive a mini that hasnt got at least one annoying problem. A rattle, a squeak, poor steering etc etc. They just dont seem that well built. And they are not minis, they are BMW zero series. OK, rant over, great content as ever.
I have a Discovery 1 with the side opening rear door. The Mini probably isn't too bad with two doors vs one on the Landy but you do learn quickly that in car parks you shouldn't drive through one to park in the one opposite when they are arranged back to bac (so you're facing nose out of the space) because someone will fill the space behind you leaving no room to open the door!
England is in a pretty bad state if you can't pay someone under $10k in cash
Bank transfer is free & instant, can't see why either party would want the additional steps of paying in cash
The bank probably wouldn't even let you have £10k in cash.
We can pay with cash if we want to but I wouldn't want to pay that much in cash myself. I wouldn't want to have to look after that much in cash.
I can't put a bank transfer down somewhere and forget where I put it.
@@mr.d5314 for me that amount of cash would be life changing if something happened to it.
I bought a van last year from a dealership for £8k and they said it would have to go through their “99 point inspection, service and MOT” before I would be able to pick it up. 2.5 weeks later I finally had a call that the car was ready! I had it 2 days and it started misfiring something chronic and it took 5 months for them to refund me! And that was only because I got legal representation. It put me off buying from small dealerships. I’d rather buy from a private seller who’s had the car for a long while. At least you can gauge the sort of person they are and where they live etc. which you can’t do with a dealer
Congrats ! Really good choice. I've got Clubman 2l D, 2017, manual. For 2 adults 3 children enough. We done 3 times by 3k each trip in europe. no problem at all.
"it is so small and so lovely."
"Same"
Never change Taylor.
I also just picked up an F40 1 series with the same engine! It also has a wheel bearing issue as well! thanks for the mini DIY Guide!
😂’there’s a snowflake symbol on the dashboard, and there’s a snowflake next to me!’ Classic Taylor 😂😂😂
Wish this was an hour long, absolutely love this kind of content 😂
I can't stand having those minis behind me with the headlights constantly going to full beam blinding me
I had a 2017 JCW Cooper, thing blew my mind every single journey, love the interior, the sound was amazing, loved it, sold it because we had a kid
I like how this car is newer and in far better condition than anything Alex has owned.
A mini clubman looks like something you’d pick up dead animals in.
The smallest parcel shelf in the world?
Ha. Me and my Abarth laugh in your general direction.
My 74 year old mum drives a 2019 cooper S hatch auto, and it’s awesome. 196hp 2.0 twin turbo in a tiny car is so much fun
2:45 "seated heats" 💀
long running joke on this channel...deliberate ...and wont be the last time😜
I had a Cooper S version and it was one of the best cars I have had. Very underrated car.
I'm always amazed by uk prices... Less than 10k for decent 2017 car is unthinkable in Spain
Listening to Rory trying to pronounce Calne is funny haha, I live a couple of miles away from Clane
"With seated heats" 😂😂
taylor is absolutly jokes 😂😂😂 and i think this trio is better than the old one from car throttle
After seeing how quickly car vertical sponsored Edwin, I no longer skip the ad. Instead i wait until the ad shows, then I click like.
We have a 2018 clubman, you can also wave your leg under the bumper to open the boot. Think it needs the comfort access pack to do it
“Mah-Waahife” I’d like to see an update please. I’ve always been interested in the new mini, but put off by their reliability and ride quality.
I enjoy all the angels Alex walks up to the camera for the ad. Once you notice it you won't not notice it.
I've had my Clubman Cooper S for 3 years and it's been the best all rounder I've owned. Maiwiiiife will love it
5:18 😂😂, who likes the tax man anyway
I had a guy turn up to buy my car with £8.5k in cash, I was like right let's go deposit that in the bank and then we'll transfer ownership yeah?
That Mini is Awesome! Love it!
I'm not fazed about the cash, even at 15k I'm not bothered when people ask for that. I am clean on it on my end, that's all that matters.
Also I hate it when people haggle over the phone, then stop by and try get even more off. I don't deal with those people.
Congratz about the MINI Clubman. that is the best handling MINI of the Fxx generation, in my eyes. And yes I have driven them all (work at the Dutch plant).
Used to love my R55 Clubman Cooper D, and the struts on the barn doors are easily replaced.
Love for dnb and fast motion during uninstall of brake
The best part of all Alex’s videos is when he decides which car to choose and calls to people trying to get the car as cheap as he can
10:57 Taylor is so smooth with his jabs sometimes 🤣❄
Things it’ll need almost immediately: upper motor mount, oil filter housing gasket, front timing cover leaks.
Bought my 3 series coupe from BJH nearly 9 years ago at their "cheap cars" site, they've been around forever! They get a lot of stock from the BMW/Mini dealership for trade-ins that are on the more Alex side of life but not particularly shit, so you usually get nice examples.
I remember recently reading a review about some guy in Australia that bought an old 90s ford falcon. He said, I noticed it had some wheel bearing noise, but I managed to fix that ,by turning up the volume on the stereo.😁
1:10 i appreciate the nod to James at Donut
Izzy was brilliant. And the Rover looks amazing
The county dish of Wiltshire at 03:12 - chilli con Calne.
I just got a Mini myself, 2012 Cooper Convertible, bought it in December, the alternator died in January, got it fixed by the end of February. Still love the Mini, it's an awesome car.
Idk if it’s just the hatches but if you put them in sport mode and put the window down you can hear a lovely turbo flutter as my 21 plate 1.5 did
pure gold dealership comedy, love it!
I’m on my 4th Mini (second F56) and I can’t complain, the interior is excellent and it’s so fun to drive (yes the boot is small that’s why I still have the jag, also just lower your rear seats people)
