Is Car Vertical available in the USA?
@@NickLantzy Yes
Where did you get that black hoodie from it’s very nice?
You can see how much Tom loves the banter with Alex and Taylor
Honestly my favourite segments of this channel is just Alex making Tom regret his life
Access to Robin's detailing services for life is a dangerous offer. Forget the amount of vehicles he buys, knowing Alex he'll probably start showering there to save money on water so he has more money to spend on cars 😂
I mean he didn't specify whether it was free for life 💁😂😂
Yes but he will be able to make content out of it using Alex’s name
@@SuperLuckyDanny good observation
Alex is going to be squatting that place in no time
@@YorkyPudinz oh, but he did, at 19:00. The Question is...whose life? 😂😂😂
Viking Detailing buying the rust bucket, I'm sure he's now a permanent member of the channel after that offer.
I feel like this is one of the few true car channels. It’s not all about super cars, hyper cars, spending the most.. it’s about cars. Any car. Good or bad. Preferably bad, which makes it better in my opinion. It adds another comedy aspect to the already perfect chemistry between Alex and Taylor.
Can never quite decide if Tom's having a good time and enjoying the banter or wether he's sick of Alex's shit and wants his hands clean of him😂
I think if he got fed up, I feel like (without knowing him of course) Tom would just pull the plug on any involvement with Alex and his channel. Though to me they all seem to get on really quite well.
@@jameswingrove7421 They seem to get on pretty well and it's free exposure/advertising for Tom so it's a win win all round.
I thought he was getting really annoyed in the first episode he did with Alex (can't remember which one) but I think it's just the way he is. He seems to have really warmed to it and he's a good member of the crew.
It’s 50/50 probs. Alex, you old wolf, what’s up with Barney. When can we see him already? It’s the ultimate car (save for chassi not being RX-8 how you wanted) nevertheless, please update us on his majesty
I think he can't either lol
I think you should of sold the full car to Tom for the £500 he's been a massive help to this channel and he comes across as a real nice guy
Tom should have offered his services free for life then 😂
I like Tom on camera, he's a nice, funny guy, and he's a wizard with cars.
Looking forward to watching this, nothing like buying a load of shitboxes 😂 sometimes you get gems, sometimes you get lemons but that's life as a car guy.
Mama said " life's like a barn full of shitboxes, ya never know what ya gunna get"
I was on the m1 heading south on Saturday. Saw the van (has Taylor’s plate on it) and got super excited. Drove past honked the horn a few times and gave a thumbs up, only to see a ginger guy with a beard driving and not Taylor. Felt like a fool. The van came past us and then we were going back past when the guy rolled the window down. We put ours down and he gave us an air freshener. Honestly made our day and couldn’t stop smiling about it for the rest of the drive to Crawley and then back to Teesside later
Tom seems like such a nice bloke compared to the countless short, bald, passive aggressive mechanics I've dealt with in the past. So hard to find a trustworthy mechanic these days
I wonder how much you would make on that Daimler if you just stripped it down and sold it for parts. Tom already wanted the front axle, ha also said that the engines on those were quite good and this particular one didn't sound too bad. With these and maybe some stuff like the lights, bumpers, windows, doors and other parts that are hard to come by but still in an acceptable shape, I figure you could make around 1000 quid or more if Robin hadn't messaged you.
I think I'd like to see a challenge in which each of you guys had to buy a car that's off MOT and has no chance of getting it anymore and make money parting it out and scrapping everything that doesn't sell.
Some brilliant laugh out loud moments in this episode. Great work again. Tom is always great viewing anytime he's on. Quality stuff 👍
£600 for the MG... I believe the plate alone is worth more than that! Someone got a bargain!
Any video with Tom in it is a good one! The trio with Alex, Tom and Taylor hilarious!
Well you're f**cking nailing this Alex, well done...
Daimler hemi V8 goes in a Ford Pop,the remains go on the banger track with a pinto lump. I know,lost in the '70s! Very entertaining video chaps.
These guys have really tapped into the banter element. I laugh along, like im stood just out of shot.
I have absolutely no clue when it comes to trailers but I would have never imagined that trailer to be worth £5500!
The trailer they had I've seen being sold for 8K on auto trader. The costs for trailers are mad.
Yeah it's only when Alex and Taylor's got nicked when I found out just how much they can cost. Makes sense in retrospect, it's a big lump of metal that has to safely and securely transport potentially very heavy vehicles even at motorway speeds.
That Mercedes has a ton of valuable parts, the refrigerator is worth easily 1300 pounds, add in the ABC struts, wheels, interior trim specific to the v12, the xenon headlights, exhaust cats, engine itself, and body panels and you could easily get 6k pounds from breaking it
Alex has about 5 different video series going on on this one channel, the unreliables, the vans, this trade up fleet, the other trade up series, and then the 4x4s if that’s still happening
A word you never want to hear when getting a rust inspection underneath is "WOW"...
What a challenge Alex, I’m sure you will get a profit , may the force and car gods be with you 🤣😎
I’m a mechanic in New Hampshire, USA. We see cars that rusty come in trying to get a state inspection (equivalent of MOT).
15:29 Rhys face when checking the red box that Alex just messed with....
5:55
‘Is it going to be like those student loans, where you need to earn over a million pounds to pay it back’
😂
Goddamn I wish that was true
Tom Vs Alex banger racing. Tom takes the Daimler, Alex takes that Omega estate that's been forgotten about. Could be RUclips gold 😂
£600 for the mg. Wow someone got a bargain surely
Omg this is now my favourite channel on RUclips. The banter between Alex, Tom, Taylor & Rory is amazing 🤩
Ugh that 993 does look excellent! Congrats mate!
Of this collection of wheeling and dealing, we can say "that didn't go well". [cut to scene of burning barn] Good luck guys!
The Daimler makes for a great garden ornament
Such amazing chemistry between all of you! A pleasure to watch. Great content and excited to get notifications. Thank you and well done!
I have an MGF too, and if I was in england I'd see if I could fit a rover v8 in it.... but only because then it'd technically fit the definition of a supercar haha
It doesn't work like that pal. 😅
@@samuelgarrod8327 lol obviously, but it would be fun. I suppose stanceworks has a spare transverse V8, but I just wanted to keep it in the family company
MG did it, its in the gaydon museum and i believe did hit supercar speeds. The rover v8 was around tvr 500 spec iirc.
still less rust than the average mk5 golf/jetta
wow, I thought papers with some plaster was an urban legend from the 70ies, learned something today!
That Daimler would be an awesome banger racer
So will we see Robins Espace collection soon?
Is there a finer colour in the world than Rover Tahiti Blue? The MG looks great in it.
Tom is a legend.
Still recon you should have done some sort of christmas auction to reduce the 30 odd fleet down to something manageable in the new year
All i was thinking with the red one was this needs a bodyswap, get that underside fixed and lay it on some other platform.
Perfect timing, just sat down for my break at work 😁
The only car channels where Men can be Men. So fun. Reminds of the old Top Gear. Alex and Taylor, keep on keeping on!! Love from Kenya
Think that model of Daimler/Jaguar is so good looking! Tom is such a funny character! Always a joy when he is on.
well done Alex and Tom and Taylor
never mind the profit tho its great watching the videos
Guys thanks for the content this year! Seasons greetings 👍😃
Taylor got a huge deal paying only £4000 for that transporter, that’s got to be less than half its value and you would have easily have broken even and even made profit with the trailer and transporter sales
Youre right, that Transporter is easily worth 8k+
This is the funniest thing I have seen in a while hahahaha “I own you” fantastic 😂
Seriously?
If you were into racing alex that daimler would be a good historic racer.
Could also be a sick semi restomod
It would likely need a chassis swap to be somewhat safe. Definitely not a resto mod, would be completely uneconomical to repair as it would cost so much
Saw the tweet recently, so congrats on the supposed 993!
😊
Everytime I see a notification that Autoalex has uploaded I stop what I'm doing and watch! 🎉
Some lovely X350 XJs in the workshop there…
great video Alex keep it up and merry Christmas to
This is what the average 15-20 year old car looks like in ontario, Canada. I'm not even exaggerating. We don't do yearly mot's. We only need safety inspections when ownerships are transfered. That means no inspections sometimes for the entire life of the car. Truly scary to think about
I would have definitely taken the detailing service!!
I genuinely enjoyed this episode, Taylor is back on form & was genuinely laughing.
"you do realise we will take the p*ss" 😂😂😂😂
I saw Taylor and Rory at the NEC and brought some stickers and a key tag
The MG has a cool plate which is worth money R1 MGF and if you do illegal spacing you can make it R1M GF 🤣
The chap on the bearded explorer channel would be calling this a Jag and saying it’s a disgrace that this ultra rare car isn’t being restored by the owner.
bit out there, but if theres enough metal actually left, Daimler body on MX5 floor pan?
I think a rusty chassis is as much a star of the ahow as the lads lol. Merry Christmas to all. 🎄 ⛄ 🎁
Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥 Happy Holidays, Hope y'all doing good!🎅🎁🎄
14:37 Didn't Minis have cone suspension not Hydrolastic?? 1100's and Metros had it though.
Minis where mainly sold with rubber cone suspension. But they were definitely offered with Hydrolastic for a period in the 60/70s.
bros lets get Alex to 1 mil
Should have stuck the body on a mx5 chassis or something. Pretty cool looking thing
Alex must be a superhero because he has an ability to smell rust and filler within a global radius. His weakness.. not resisting temptation to buy whatever is rusting and full of filler
Thanks for all the videos in 2023 👍👍👍
Dont give up on it! Just make it safe. Tires brakes suspension. An structural rust. And just drive it about.
Hey @autoalexcars, love watching your channel. Can I ask a question though? Been using you tube for years, but what's your take on there recent decision to massively ramp up there ads? I'm 4 mins in to your current video and have had 3 lots of ads? I wouldn't mind but just to get rid of the ads is more than my subscription to prime, which gives me videos, music and free one day delivery. It's getting to the point, that I'm getting put off watching it! Are we able to watch your content anywhere else and are they giving you guys more revenue as a result??
Man Alex and the bois never disappoints
Yorkshire Restoration will have that sorted out pretty quickly!!
Please do a Phil on the Jag, maybe put a Mazda rotary in?
Free detailing for life? Robin will regret that very quickly LOL.
Challenge Mat Armstong to restore the Daimler, he always restores new cars, give him a crazy challenge
If someone was a really good fabricator and could do the metalwork to bring the Daimler back mostly on their own, how much would it cost them to do? Out of curiosity. I’m assuming a fair chunk less than £125k?
I restored a mk 2 jag in a bit better initial condition than that Daimler, cost a fortune, lots loads when I sold it, those 2.5 Daimler engines would fit the dart and they used to be in dragsters back in the day, bet you could have broke it for good money.
You should build a UK version of a rat rod with this thing or maybe a hot rod with a UK V8 and UK theme
ngl abit sad about the old Merc, I hoped it would be a little bit less of a sh*t box especailly after hearing the engine running, what a beauty that would be if it was in good condition! :O
I love the end of video comment - ‘dedicated to automotive financial mistakes’ - we’ve all done it 😂 Merry Christmas - brilliant video as always
Sell the car to car throttle so they can supercharge it 😂😂😂
love ya stuff! great vid as always... shoulda charged more for the VW van tho. 4K is cheap!
From my experience a mgf on its spheres handles better than a tf on its coilovers, comfy slow and still sporty when in the bends, certainly better, quicker and faster in corners than the mx5s.
A mx5 would out handle a mg every day of the week as long as there’s a good driver in both cars. As for power I had a mk1 1.6 that could run circles around the MGs on track days. You only have to look and see which of the two are more popular. The MK1 MX5/Eunos Roadster/miata is world renowned for being a great car same has never been said about a MGFv😂
Love this series.
shame the daimler is probably the coolest looking car thats been on alexs channel so far. But britian and steel don't mix let alone 60 years on. wonder if you could swap it on to a new frame
That Daimlers still has a higher chance of getting an MOT than that manky E36 the boys of Car Throttle bought recently.
“Taylor this is a little bit of you” “No”😂😂you STOLE that transporter by the way😅
Shame letting such a beautiful car go to waste could have made a serie of the back of that and taylor & rory could have gotten an old car each to do up as well would have lasted at least 4 to 5 months fixing them up obviously getting someone else o paint them afterwards but bit of welding new sections for the frame rails smooth it off could have been beautiful such a shame
Get the Daimler running and driving good then drive it round on a farm till the body falls apart. That would be an entertaining video haha
Robin said Alex has access to his detailing services for life. Think the fine print will say Access only and Alex has to do the details himself 😂
Tom is surely the not-so-silent 4th member of Alex's team by now. Ledge!
Its such a shame about the Daimler, I saw a mint condition one yesterday, very elegant cars.
Im pretty sure the boys at Yorkshire Car Resorations would love to take the daimler on
Was 100 percent expecting a cut away for a life insurance sponsor
The damler was as Crusty as old Jackie 😂😂 sorry Rory. 😅
I thought of Trigger Happy TV when Alex was "on the phone"
Alex, the Daimler clearly is a car for @Roadkill. Send this to them and say hi from me.
You guys are hilarious 🤣 your vids bring me so much comfort
I was wondering when we'd see more about these cars... But here it is!
I wouldnt even give you scrap value for the Daimler 🤣🤣🤣
£600 for the MG? Unless there was something badly wrong with it that wasn't shown on the video, either Mike did you over there or there were...favours...involved in the deal.
