Today, our friend and Videographer, Ben has given us £2000 of his own money and tasked us with finding him a project car. Despite having spent the last 3 years filming us work on cars, he’s never even picked up a spanner, let alone owned his own project car.
A huge thanks to:

BEER WHEEEEYYY
another bad sponsor 😔
That insurance quote I wonder what they would say if you said you put BC Racing Coilovers and a Scorpion Exhaust on it with a modified air intake and shift leaver. just asking as I have found them to be rather stupid recently. I also notice any carshop apart from Halfrauds has either vanished or everything is mail / pre-order.
What's your problem with the sponsor? Is there a bad dark reason we should know about?
or is it just your personal taste? If it's the latter, don't worry about it, as long as the lads are getting money to cover their wage and produce content at a profit for the company, I see it as a good thing.
I have no interest in hipster beers or many things channels are sponcerd by, but the majority of them are just other companies also trying to make it in this terrible economy we are in.
At the moment I don't think it's been harder to make a living on your own since the late 70s @@9wowable
@@mclarenjohnf1just don't get in an accident. Being that this is so public, and their is always some jealous people, I can see this video making its way to the insurer, one way of another.
Given there are a number of channels now under the auto Alex umbrella, I'd assume they are looking at some form of trade insurance to try and cover all the employees on all of the vehicles. It could be subsidised by the company but you pay a nominal fee out of your wage. This could be a winner for all parties within the company. Maybe even the insurer could become a channel sponsor. A bit like MCM have with theirs.
It's defo something I'd have someone (cough ...Taylor) pursuing.
100% need more Ben on this channel, what a lad he is!
He's a natural. Fair play to the lad.
Totally agree
Can't wait for the lads on tour episode
Hes your Taylor.
What a joy he is and has!
Ben seems like such a good bloke! He needs more screen time!
*Yea!*
Throwing him a deal like that and getting the sponsors onboard. Ben is more than a cameraman, he's 100% family, happy for everyone involved very neat!
Or you could look at it the other way, where he just dumped the car he didn't need on him, which I find funny honestly.
@@VSautomotive at a loss of 1200 quid. hmmm
@@VSautomotivethat's literally the mantra of these guys.. wasting money on terrible cars... he wanted a project car so he was left with someone else's project. That is literally the world of below 10k car work. Bodges everywhere.
Ben's a natural infront of the camera!
He's not a true car guy until he gets excited about the free sticker with the parts
Very true!! ahaha
I get so excited when I get to add to my rockauto magnet collection tbh.
He's going to have a blast with the free stickers and the lid on whatever laptop he's using at the time
I do love a free sticker. Even though I never have a clue where to put them lol
I keep my stickers on my bin lol
@@HendrickT-bi4iw On the side of the toolbox.
Great episode, Ben is a great addition to the show. You all looked to be having great fun showing Ben how to get on.
The 3 of you together worked really well, think that’s another series option. The adventure of Ben with Samwise and Gandalf (you can pick who’s who)
Those £30,000 insurance quotes are colloquially known in the insurance industry as "fuck off" quotes. AKA "fuck off we're not insuring you, unless you're daft enough to give us 30 grand"
In nz they just straight up tell you no 😂😅
@@jadenclemow Given that comparison sites here have hundreds of companies, the fact only two came up means every other company went "absofuckinglutely not" haha
@@mattd6085 Ahha very true, I’m used to only seeing 2 or 3 insurance companies
@@jadenclemowyeah but some companies promise they will insure any car as some kind of tag line. So they price it so insanely high that even a billionaire with money to burn wouldn’t pay for it just to keep their tag line true lol. It’s so scummy. My insurance of my 1.6 a class went through the roof this year. 18+ years no claims discount with no claims and my insurance was higher than this dudes.
I suspect the quote they got was without declaring any of the modifications they intended to make. Having inside knowledge on insurance schemes and loading, I imagine adding the coil-overs and exhaust would probably take it back up to £30k 🙁
Edwin has massive older brother energy, will roast you to oblivion but will still stop you from rounding a bolt.
Love seeing ben on the channel, love the dynamic you all have.
Ben has such a great energy. You guys need to bring him in front of the cameras more often
Never watched Car Throttle or whatever the channel was. But this channel here is top class.
honestly some of the CT stuff is good like rebuilding the old golf and Porsche or the camping trip its worth a watch!
@@jordanthompson9676 thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give it a watch
yep same, knew will from that other channel
@@jordanthompson9676yeah totally agree some of the stuff ct produced even until the “end” was fantastic. Even not the huge projects like the golf and the 924. The P38 Range Rover video is one of my favs
Car Throttle is still the best and always will be! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
That was a lovely surprise, thanks TDC Team 👍🏻👊🏻
People who know nothing about cars will say "oh never get a European car for your first project" as if they think every european car is a C63 or M3 and needs a small army to work on them.
Wee french hot hatch is just the right level of fun bullshit and cheap parts, same as a JDM with none of the import snobbery
Exactly, also JDM fanboys dont have anything to argue past reliability...
As an American it is very common to hear that here
We don't see alot of the cars you guys have unfortunately
most european cars are fine. not sure about the french cars though.
@@ChrisWijtmans I'll gladly have an ancient, French, diesel. But that's my limit from France
This was incredibly wholesome to watch, though a dark part of me resents Ben for not having to modify his first car on a suicide jack in the rain on the road outside his house..
I'm only half way through the video but you need to get more of Ben on the channel with this project guys. He's great
Ben is genuinely a funny guy, the TDC team is top class. Love the content!
We need more of Ben on camera! He's a natural in front of it and the chemistry between you three is great!
Enjoy your Clio Ben, had one as my first car (Sadly only a 1.2, but damn did I love that car!) You're gonna love it!,
Sincerely another random RUclipsr with a chronic car addiction that has resulted in me having over 15 cars in the 8 years I've been driving 😂
It's Ethan learning mechanics all over again!! (Although without stripped knuckles and crying)
Or annoying
And he's not a gimp
@@growanewsystem4141😂😂😂glad I’m finally not the only one who thinks so. Every video with them lot was people saying how funny it was and I was pulling my hair out at how unfunny it was, and why they thought that was comedy. Lisp was the most annoying part.
Spoiler alert... "its an exhaust" 😂 Ben's got a great sense of humour. Top lad 😅
This is what car channels are supposed to be, it is amazing to see that sponsors are on board with your stuff from this early too.
Genuine interactions with some useful pointer sprayed here and there, Ben being an absolute chad and ending up with what I would say a "dream" first project car.
I love you guys, following you from Morocco.
I like the not-bullying atmosphere on this new channel
Yeah it’s more friendly piss-taking between mates 😂
Agreed. They celebrated his struggles with empathy rather than mockery. Small but significant difference.
Speaking of UK insurance being mental. I am also a young guy I live in a nice ish area so cars don’t get stolen here and my dad bought an M2 competition so for a laugh I got a quote on it. 1 came back for just over £56,000 a year 😂
And I thought it was bad in America
That shit is criminal 😂
@@T03L3G I know. And the best bit is the cars worth less than that. So they assume I’m going to write it off more than once a year 😂
And how much was the cheapest offer?
@@progammler that was the only one
Ben seems like a really good lad, it’s great seeing him be that excited and grateful. I think you made a good choice getting him in front of the camera.
Watching a decent young lad get a bargain, and introduced to working on cars with his mates - outstanding work, it genuinely doesn’t get any better 👌🙌
This makes me so happy. The camera guys are often the unsung heroes - and it is so great that you two are giving him his chance to shine. And what a great chap he is - what an excellent addition to the TDC crew! Will and Edwin, you are both so great with him - it is such a pleasure to watch!
He needs to go up against Ethan working on separate project cars!
Finally a big channel doing an RS, everyone seems to avoid them and I i don't know why. The Meganes and Clios are some of the fastest cars on the road
I gotta say there's also not enough love for the Ph1 Clio 2, everyone's got the Ph2 but I personally really love that Ph1 face!
Ben needs to learn just how lucky he is to be working on his car in a garage with an actual lift. Most of us are on sloped driveways with wheel chocks and jack stands doing what work we can manage with only 20-ish inches of clearance.
Nothing more rewarding/infuriating
Did a clutch on a driveway, never again.
@@mattd6085 can't imagine that. What car?
@@RoxusRemo Civic. 0/10 would not recommend.
@@mattd6085 hahaha. I'm looking at picking up a civic. I'll ensure the clutch is not due
When Edwin says "You look like Claire Balding" Brilliant! Pissed myself laughing!
Okay but actually, a mid week release from you all genuinely makes the week much better. That Monday video is just what we need to start the week, but something like this midway through the week is really the kick we need to make it to the weekend! Love all the stuff you fellas get into, cheers from the USA!
Should have got him a crossfire 😎
this is what its all about. getting an enthusiast all the stuff to get them off the ground. really happy for ben, lets hope to see more of the silver 182 :)
for example making it not silver :D let's have a repeat of the Banaru wrapping extravaganza
Pushing out all the great content
This video brought me back to 2006 when me and a friend fitted a k&n induction kit on my 2001 Fiesta Zetec s, didn't have a clue what we were doing but its so much fun. Ben is a natural in front of the camera, great sense of humour. We need more of Ben!! My favourite channel on RUclips without a doubt. Keep it up lads 👌👍
You can tell really Ben likes his new Clio. A few things that Ben needs to do as a new car owner. He needs to clean the air filter, change the transmission, differential oil and coolant. I would replace the brake fluid too.
Belts belts belts and probably dephaser, water pump while he's in there. Critical on these cars.
Love Ben's attitude, so pure and genuine! I would say it is even better to have someone who is willing to learn the basics in maintaining a car.
This is the exact kind of video I love to watch. Makes me want to work on my nugget
I'm like a proud Dad watching my son take his first steps. Very emotional.
Well done Ben!
I want to see an engine remap, android player install, some new racing seats and a big f*ck off wing on the back!
This video gives proud dad vibes 😂
Up at :430am, Been out for a morning jog with my amazing dog 🐕 ivy, food prepared for work, and now off loading yesterday’s meal while watching TDC what an amazing start to my day ❤❤
This was such a good episode. It reminds me of the first time I worked on my car. I had to figure it out myself as my Dad didn't know so it was just me and RUclips. I'm really glad you guys could be there to inaugurate him.
Ben is the new Ethan. He is a natural in front of the camera too.
Will and Edwin discovering the sheer obscenity of under-25 insurance quotes has absolutely made my night
such good vibes on this channel
this was actually very entertaining to watch someone be introduced into doing car things
Think you need a new videographer, Ben is a natural in front of the camera.
Huge congrats to Ben on the first project car. Him working on it took me back a decade to High School and wrenching (read: spending 2 days trying to install coilovers) on my Jetta GLI!
Pac-Man @9:29
This would make an amazing series for you guys. Viewers / fans give you how much money they have to buy a project car (they give you what they like and dislike or even buy the car with them) and then you teach and mentor them on their first ever day of working on their own projects. I’m sure companies would be dying to get involved with free parts to get their names out there with your side of RUclips. Could even do it weekly! More likely monthly. It would be great for us beginner
Fantastic video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong??
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade.
Following you has been an amazing journey , you have shown me the best way to earn much better profits despite the bad economic situations, God bless you with more knowledge Mrs Janet...
Wow, I'm surprised to see Janet mentioned here as well. I didn't know she had been kind to so many people
I thought myself and my family were
the only ones enjoying Janet
trade benefits
Mrs Janet successful stories are everywhere, all over the place.
He's a good lad ya know. You guys are good role models for him too! Keep up the great work. All the best.
we need a new episode every time ben updates this car. what a lad
Ben is hilarious 😂 put him in more videos
Think it's nice you left his mistakes in, shows what it is genuinely like starting out on cars. I've worked on a fair share of cars and I still make the mistakes shown in this video. Props to Ben for digging in and getting involved.
Loving the content, boys
awesome, ben was so good infront of the camera, keep it up lads
I love when the actual searching for cars is included in these videos!!
Ben and Ethan should try to mod a car.
In honesty I hadn't heard of Will before joining this channel, and I was a bit unsure of Edwin on CT, but this is rapidly becoming one of my favourite channels now. Guys are smashing it, great dynamic and content ❤
Love the channel lads ❤

21:03 - Man, the bit about "you've now hurt it; it's done," is so relatable. That first big dent or scratch that you look at every time you get in the car. But once it's done, it's done. don't have to worry about it happening anymore. lol
Ben is great in front of the camera. Very natural and witty
Ben has some banter. This channel is getting better and better
Mugging Will off with the exhaust joke sent me! Fair play to him for getting stuck in.
2 views in 8 seconds
U guys fell of
This channel is 100% better than auto alex now man. Theyre humour is a so on point and its proper car oriented. Love you guys
He was super happy, get him in front of the camera more!
What a genuinely lovely chap! Can actually string a sentence together and is very personable! Better than most 22yo kids I know of! Enjoy the Clio!
Ben’s an absolute natural on camera - congrats on the clio, mega cars they are!
I'm a Ben, never touched a spanner but watched hundreds of hours of the Auto Alex family channels. I would LOVE to not only see noobs working on cars, but a tiny bit into WHY you do what you have to do. Would be sick in spreading knowledge too.
I've gotta say, a great formula to Matt Watson's videos is the involvement from his cameraman. Even the banter from behind the camera is a neat addition. Get loose, Ben! Have a voice/face to your brilliant behind the scenes work.
More of Ben please! He's a natural on camera and tinkering with cars as well.
Fair play to Ben, we need more young car guys like him, he’s got a great attitude! I’d love a cruise with him
Ben is a natural on camera , let’s see more of him , would love to see him do a hot lap of the ring in his clip
Randomly just found this channel. The fact that ben isn't already a normal part of this crew, blows my mind.
More Ben! He's born for this. Legend.
Crikey guv, he's only a blimmin' natural!
Other channels would have spun this out to two episodes or more. Your content is tightly packed with goodness, like a particularly rich fruitcake. Lovely stuff. 👌
Additional Ben appreciation comment. Deffo get him that side of the camera more often.
Definitely one of my favourite episodes of any car channel! Seeing Ben's reaction was so lovely! He should be your third! The three of you are a great trio
Mega episode, mega little car, and what a fantastic CHOOM noise!
Also, Ben's an absolute natural on camera, I think this duo could become a trio...
ben is an absolute gem, great to see him on the other side of the camera!
Ben did great in front of the camera and I love how happy he was with the Clio! This channel keeps getting better
As a noob to cars it's great to see Ben getting his first car. It helps me learn
Quality! Edwin and Will being proud dads with Ben learning how to do mods and bodges was quality. Cheers for the extra video!
Ben is a natural in front of the camera! Awesome video guys 👍
I'm impressed at that insurance quote for Ben with the BC Racing shocks, exhaust, after market alloys and the cone filter.
This is giving me Ethan working on his project car vibe. I love it.
What great vibes all round this episode. You can tell you're all good mates who help each other out, and that's exactly what project cars are all about
From one Ben to another congratulations much deserved for all the work you do behind the scenes. 🎉😁
Hey Edwin and Will that was really nice off Will too sell his car too Ben it was good off Edwin and Will helping Ben with the exhaust it was great seeing Ben doing the BC Coilovers well done Ben on your first project car.
Can we do a series where the guys teach Ben all about maintaining his car?
Love the video!
First time watching your channel and it's the most enjoyment I've had watching a car program since the old top gear. Great job guys.
Two’s company, three’s a car show! Great to see Ben on the channel!
Yet again another brilliant heart felt chat with 2 honest & down to earth men. I always enjoy & have learnt a lot from you & guests, much appreciate these phill please keep them coming. Thank you!
I enjoyed this immensely. It's like going back to 2004 when my older brother watched over me while I installed red neon underglow, a used nitrous kit, and horrible eBay "coilovers" on my first "tuner" car.
It's so wholesome and so good to watch I cannot even choose right words to describe it
Ben smashed it. He's a natural service guy. 👍
You guys are the best and that includes Ben who is a fantastic addition in front of the camera 👏🏻👍🏻🏴
You 2 are just fun to watch. The best car duo on yt.
Blew Ethan out of the water on his debut! Well done big man 🫡
