So Luke has the coolest car out of all of you by far in the 3000GT. Now you're telling me he's using this lovely MX5 all the time that I somehow like way more than Phil.. Also his cars ACTUALLY WORK! Luke seems to winning the AutoAlex crew best personal garage clearly!
6:40 that is a Shako shomeisho sticker, and it's essentially a parking permit as every car in Japan must have a specific parking space that it can belong in that's not on the road (you can't even buy a car if you can't prove you have a space for it)
@@hughjass8430 I'd rather do the trip in something I actually enjoy driving and enjoy the trip. Roof down just makes life so much better, even in the cold and rain
Taylor take over the V2 channel. He is so natural and the camera loves him. He needs to put on more than one video a week. We need to see more Taylor. And my youngest daughter loves him. She cant wait new video to "pop up". And then I have to watch it immiediatily with her in case she dont understant everything. She is still learning english. Hello from Slovenia 🇸🇮
luke really know how to express being a true car guy/girl its not about displacment or power or lap times its about the cars soul and luke clearly lives and breaths that mindset. love all the content from all the channels keep up the great work
Every time i leave my flat and walk past my mk2.5 sat sorn in the car park ( due to losing job and the sills going at the same time) it nearly brings me to tears knowing how much fun i had! and the fun I'm missing 😥😥😥
Couldn’t agree more about what Luke said. There are better cars out there, but nothing will compare to the feeling you personally get when driving it. I had the same feeling driving my classic mini, many years ago. Get it out on a narrow, winding country lane and you just can’t beat that feeling 👌🏻. Great vid chaps ✊🏻❤️
Alex, you certainly know how to monetize your channels!!! Keep these two producing this quality content and you'll be rolling in it for years! Great job lads!
Miss my Eunos and the smiles and waves from random people everytime I'd take it out. Couldn't park it without someone wanting to have a chat about it. She's still on the road somewhere. Xxx
My mate has one of these Eunos Rosters in a similar colour. I used to drive it once a week to a local car meet for him before he had his full licence. I used to think a Honda Jazz was a small car till we pulled up next to one in the Eunos, and the Jazz looked massive. This model MX-5 is my sisters dream car but will never own one as she can't drive manual, I took her for a spin in my mate one, and she loved it
I love my 1990 MX-5. It’s a Canadian import to the States with nothing but power brakes. No AC, Cruze, Air Bags, abs or power windows and steering. It’s the closest thing to a street legal go cart and it’s just the business. Only aftermarket kit is the canvas soft top and flying Miata 1.5 suspension which makes it so much happier in most conditions.
v2 channel way better than normal channel lately.. I always said a mx5 is the sort of car I'd love my Mrs to own.. so I could have the pleasure of driving it without admitting I owned one..
A very tastefully modified MX-5. Luke, you are a man of taste. Loved this episode Taylor is an exceptional presenter and camera work by Rory top notch. Love my NA6 ❤
Loved my mk1s. Had two, a basic 1990 1.6 Eunos, then a 1995 ER “VR Limited A” (burgundy like the Merlot Uk one) but cream leather, lsd etc. Happy days.
I had a Eunos Roadster V Special about 6 years ago, absolutely great car. I had a Boxster, 911, SLK320 and CL500 afterwards and I'd definitely have another MX5 and not the others.
Quality guys! I love MX5's I've had 3 of them all 1.6, 1 was MK2 other 2 were MK2.5's. fantastic cars bulletproof engines but very underpowered. Hilarious to drift round in the rain 👌
Yup, love my stock NA Roadster. And since the recent worldwide bout of the sniffles I cut my own hair too so can tick that cliche box about the drivers. Great vid with two of the best, and most natural, car presenters on YT.
Taylor and Luke are great to watch. Good humour, gentleman manners, great taste. Rory's camera work and comments are spot on. I would not compare Autoalex and V2- they form a perfect synergy- cool to watch as entertaining videos, useful for car guys, especially those who are into youngtimers (some name them soulful sh*tboxes).
The mx5 is one of those cars you need to own at some point They are not practical they have Thier issues but God they are fun to drive Loving the V2 Chanel you guys are killing it !
As a fellow tall MX5 owner, if you want even more space and comfort with standard seat I gained a full 1.5 inches on top of the foamectomy, try this: Remove foam, with the seat in place, use a lump hammer to massage the tin of the bottom of the seat to better fit your posterior, put back together. Done
They're glorious cars and I couldn't be happier with my S-Special! I'll pile on the miles and take good care of it, though I am very very jealous of Luke's paint that he has on Kurt there. I'd never even driven an MX5 before getting it and it just feels perfect, though there's still some ways to go before its truly mine.
YAAAAY A KURT EPISODE, I'm in a pure gym bog having a pre workout evacuation. I'm not leaving the pan until this episode is over and I have tingly toes
Its really pretty, the color and the wheels and the meat on them. If it were me I'd have a bit more ground clearance, more suspension travel.., a bit softer, just a tiny bit.
I've never seen a Miata rust despite having lived in the Detroit area for years. If you don't know they use salt in the winter like they are trying to cure the roads. Now I have seen quite a few with time released natural speed holes since everyone knows lighter is better.
I owned a 91 Eunos Roadster and planned to fit a supercharger from a Mini Cooper (they were really cheap at the time), so I fitted a Megasquirt ECU which could be mapped for boost and which also eliminated the mechanical air-flow meter and added a proper throttle position sensor. The car performed so much better after replacing just the ECU that I decided not to bother with the supercharger.
Getting out looks like me with my Scirocco. Great once I'm in it but swine to get out of and the doors are HUGE. Do like a MX5 but thought one maybe too big a challenge as a daily at 55 😂
You should consider looking at the MG TF. Its a worse miata (but mid engined) competitor that is half the prize, and nobody ever talks about them, because they kind of fall under the old people cars.
Had a 1.6 marina blue eunos too. loved it and was a great daily, if a little slow getting left for dead by the local diesel taxis off the line. sadly got written off by a drunk driver who joined a roundabout at speed! moved on to mk2 mr2 and never looked back
Can’t feel bad let’s face it modern 2.0-2.2 diesels with a dsg / zf or even the worst cvt do very well 0-30, after that they aren’t so clever but even a box standard 520d with the twinpower twinscroll will give faster cars a run off the line (for about 3 seconds)😅
I think there needs to be a series where Taylor goes out and sees people's finished project cars. I know a few other channels do that already but they aren't Taylor
“Something that handles better” .. you’re gonna have a hard time finding something that does that for less than Porsche money !! I’m on my third NA mx5 because nothing feels the same and I keep going back !!

We need to see a car vertical check on the Ferrari
Car vertical becoming very annoying now. YOU WILL LOSE BUSINESS now than gaining customer. STOP THIS SHITTY ADVERT
So Luke has the coolest car out of all of you by far in the 3000GT.
Now you're telling me he's using this lovely MX5 all the time that I somehow like way more than Phil..
Also his cars ACTUALLY WORK!
Luke seems to winning the AutoAlex crew best personal garage clearly!
The Mitsubishi is overweight, underpowered and overly complicated, but definitely has the cool beans.
@paulshort1027 the mitsubishi sounds like me. Over weight and now slow compared to others but unlike me it's cool
You can clearly see by the amount of nice details that Luke is a man of great taste. I personally love the HKS themed sticker on the side window.
I love it when Taylor is the presenter :3
V2 is pretty much his channel.
It very nice x3
Totally agreeeee me and our lass watch every
Alex is getting tiring
luke and taylor are way better than alex and rory tbh
Loving the V2 channel. Taylor is a natural. Can we see more Luke on camera and let Rory run the business.
We need a V3. I'd still watch 😂
Jog on champ
@@jochenroukaerts6423 I appreciate the feedback
Way better without Alex
@@AntO-ut5btsort it out lad

Great factoid!
Eyy, figureight! It's been a while since I've seen you
It also says Mie prefecture (三重県) and the city Yokkaichi (四日市市) about 220 miles from Tokyo. Not too far from Suzuka circuit
@@ChildishPacino I think it having lived in close proximity to Suzuka is a much cooler factoid than it being a Tokyo car for sure
9:10 A 225mile round trip to work and back is insane
Yeah and not just the long time it takes you, also the fuel costs
I do that twice a week from Newport to Oxford in my MX5. Love it...
Insane. I could barely do it in a comfy modern saloon getting 60mpg. But in a MX5? Literal lunacy.
@@hughjass8430 I'd rather do the trip in something I actually enjoy driving and enjoy the trip. Roof down just makes life so much better, even in the cold and rain
My daughter met Kurt at Caffeine and Machine and loves it. Luke and Meg are awesome people. Love the V2 channel
10:21 I'm glad the headlights do actually go down, I was beginning to think they were stuck like that!
He’s had all that welding done, and at 1:21 you can see the sill is already going. That’s the joy of MX5 ownership right there.
10:24 "The thing that holds so much water in the car " " the sills"🤣
Absolutely savage 😅

Hello from Slovenia 🇸🇮
Every video I watch with Luke in it, I just have to think of Jeremy Clarkson haha what a guy
just thought the same thing! between 3:25 and 3:34 he looked just like young Jeremy Clarkson
Yes! "I now I fit.......beautifully"
So Clarkson
luke really know how to express being a true car guy/girl its not about displacment or power or lap times its about the cars soul and luke clearly lives and breaths that mindset. love all the content from all the channels keep up the great work

Don’t sell it, you’ll be back in it in no time mate good luck with your job hunt 🙏🚗
Great car, love to see Taylor & Luke on the channel - more please!!
That ad segment was intrusive af.
I were the first person to own a eunos roadster in GB
H942HDK
Miss that car hugely

My favourite v2 presenter combo i think 🤘
Both lads are natural car commentators. Love these 2!
Alex, you certainly know how to monetize your channels!!! Keep these two producing this quality content and you'll be rolling in it for years! Great job lads!
I'd love to see more of Luke & Taylor reviewing cars. Such a great duo!
Miss my Eunos and the smiles and waves from random people everytime I'd take it out. Couldn't park it without someone wanting to have a chat about it. She's still on the road somewhere. Xxx
Just for reference Taylor is “Tall” but Luke, well sir you are a distinguishable gentleman. 😂
legend says that alex is in this video, but he's so small no-one can see him
8:24 POV of Taylor laughing at you
Really nice to get to know the cars of the whole crew! More reviews like this please! And you all are great on camera!
These 2 are really good on camera😂😂

I’d call the wheel colour gunmetal, love the car.
Both great on camera! Luke is definitely Clarkson’s love child 😂

I had forgotten I had a Mazda Miata mk1 1.6 back in the day. This reminded me of all the fun me and the misses had in it!
I bloody love Luke! What a G
Luke is an absolute Gem
Taylor and Luke one of my favourite pairings on the channels.
Taylor is dripping with charisma
A very tastefully modified MX-5. Luke, you are a man of taste. Loved this episode Taylor is an exceptional presenter and camera work by Rory top notch.

Smashed it again Taylor. V2 is your channel.
Keep the amazing content coming !!
This channel is getting better and better. Relatable cars for the majrotiy of people. Refreshing not seeing bloody supercars all the time.
This man IS Jeremy Clarkson! 3:30
😂 thought this exactly when I heard it.
Beaaauutifully
@@cryptob2281 Luke coming through when we needed him the most! #onefortheroad
I was just about to type the same reaction 😂
Jeremy Scambler.
@@VXGaming Luke Clarkson?
I was really worried I wouldn’t see a car vertical ad
Yup, love my stock NA Roadster. And since the recent worldwide bout of the sniffles I cut my own hair too so can tick that cliche box about the drivers. Great vid with two of the best, and most natural, car presenters on YT.
The channel seems like so much more of a love letter to cars than the main channel.
ITBs will be so cool, need to document that on the channel!
Taylor and Luke are great to watch. Good humour, gentleman manners, great taste. Rory's camera work and comments are spot on.
I would not compare Autoalex and V2- they form a perfect synergy- cool to watch as entertaining videos, useful for car guys, especially those who are into youngtimers (some name them soulful sh*tboxes).
Taylor is great on this channel. More please!
Great introduction to Kurk the MX 5 a very good little sports car probably the best little sports car ever made been a Mazda
The mx5 is one of those cars you need to own at some point
They are not practical they have Thier issues but God they are fun to drive
Loving the V2 Chanel you guys are killing it !
We need to see more Luke on the channel 🙏

Such a nice combo og nice guys here. I am the only one, that think that Luke has the perfect radio-voice??
Jump scare Car Vertical sponsor :D Luke and Taylor videos are make me happy!
The sticker actually say Mie prefecture (三重県) and the city Yokkaichi (四日市市) about 220 miles from Tokyo. Not too far from Suzuka circuit though
Love AlexV2 with Taylor :)
Enjoyable episode and good to see and hear Kurt. What about a supercharger instead of a turbo? A mini one can be bolted on using a custom clamp.
1:20 that rear outer seal looks to have bubbling and rust on the seam weld
Either than or some runs in the paint
This is making me wanna buy an MX5 again. I miss my 1999 NB. But my 2022 Suzuki Swift Sport keeps me happy!
Love it, and great to see Luke again. I still have a soft spot for MX5's, really miss my NB.
Anyone else think the v2 with Taylor is better than the main Autoalex channel?
Yup
I'd watch anything with Taylor TBH which is funny because I first came across him on Alex's channel
No
Think it depends on the video tbh, each channel has its pros and cons for me
Why's it always got to be a competition?
They're glorious cars and I couldn't be happier with my S-Special! I'll pile on the miles and take good care of it, though I am very very jealous of Luke's paint that he has on Kurt there.

Have had three, great cars. Smart roadster I had was very close.

Currently adding a turbo to my mx5 on my channel, hopefully it going to add to experience 👌
That's a beautiful shot 11:18
3:36 Luke's Clarkson impression lol
Recently had a bit of a want for a na mx5. Then this video comes along..
I've changed my mind, now I NEED an na mx5.
Getting out looks like me with my Scirocco. Great once I'm in it but swine to get out of and the doors are HUGE. Do like a MX5 but thought one maybe too big a challenge as a daily at 55 😂
I saw Kurt at my first visit to Caffeine and Machine - He was marvellous. I want one.
Love the video keep up the amazing work

It sits so nicely on the road 😍 Give Kurt a proper seeing to

Absolute state of them shoes Luke
I do like all of you content!!! Keep it up 👍
Lovely example and great music choice
Luke is a natural. Really reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson!
I agree with Luke turbo charged mx5s are everywhere nowadays keep it stock or at a push add a supercharger
Looks stunning, Alex take notes!
LOL the car is from Yokkaichi, Japan stated from the sticker instead of Tokyo
Miss my little MX5. They are such a sweet little
Best youtube channel rite now
Big fan of Luke!
I think there needs to be a series where Taylor goes out and sees people's finished project cars. I know a few other channels do that already but they aren't Taylor
Was thinking I'd like him to take mine out while watching this video. Hoping to get it over a few of the better channels next year
“Something that handles better” .. you’re gonna have a hard time finding something that does that for less than Porsche money !! I’m on my third NA mx5 because nothing feels the same and I keep going back !!
This was very enjoyable!
I still drive my mx5 rs nb every day, side ways atleast once every other day. Wouldn't swap it for an Aldi that for sure.
Makes me miss my volvo 480 and mx5, i never had a mk1 mx5 though
The car looks happy with that big smile on the front.
Love love love Mx5’s!
