Next video: Can you daily drive a tank in London?
west side tax will probably cost more than the tank+fuel
Tanknutdave does
You can certainly do that in Paris though.
@@RedPuma90
xD
I saw a video already
rear wheel steering would be VERY useful in these things
Yep Like the phantom
It's quite tricky you can Google it
@@jaswik2023 What do you mean by tricky? Honda had it in the 80'. Or does it make limos instable?
Topgears already done it lmao
@@joelu8507 Or an 80's Honda Prelude.
I was a limo driver for years, these can be daily driven, you get used to driving them and they become a regular car for you. Actually helped me drive tow trucks, buses and semis later on. I used to back these stretch boys into a single car garage in the dark using only mirrors, it got easy about 1-2 weeks in.
Do u need a special license to drive a limo. Did u have a unique license for it. See I wanted to become a limo driver as well. I have a full UK driving license. I know I can drive an 8 seater limo with normal license. Im not sure about these limos though. Please tell me how u went about it. Did u obtain separate license? If so which one?
@@fahadmasood3887 No.
*When you ring the tailor to get a suit and tell them you are 5'7"*
I'm 5'6".
I think he's shorter than 5'7 though🤣
I think he told them he was just under 5 foot, judging by how big it looked on him.
He looks somewhere around 5'5 to 5'6.5 nowhere taller nor shorter than that.
Yeah probably, but it would be a bit of a...
STRETCH!
I’ll see myself out
Naggy naggy
Let me shaggy
Yer nanny
Hahaha 😂
Lmaooooo
I guess it’s high time we respect the city bus drivers.
And wagon drivers.
Not as bad as you think. Then again, ive been around these type of huge vehicles for the longest time. You want fun, take a 53' reefer and a OTR sleeper semi through new york. 90% of it you cant due to hieght restrictions and tight corners preventing such turns.
Why, because a son of one became mayor of Londonstan?
@@paulparoma paha, you fucking fool. Go back to your Aryan idyll... In Iran.

@Apollo Smile I choked when he said that haha
U👄U💅
I mean, leather comes from organic flesh, so it would be logical.
@@ix.cryo1 tf
@@Snowy-oq4ur 🤣
For a REAL challenge, try driving the Hummer limo
Done it....looks cool but a pain in the butt to drive smh
That's basically a bus at this point.
Yeah that will be really cool
Next episode: Living with a Fiat Multipla ... basically just make Alex daily drive one for a week
Fiat multipla Roadster
Any Fiat...
jack pendlebury aka ugliest car ever made..
Have you seen his review?
@@B.McMillan93 yeah, he said how much he hated it so i thought it would be funny to make him live with it for a week
Living with a Messcherschmitt or BMW Isetta (Bubblecar)
Wait... the Isetta (I assume) was called "Bubblecar" ? O_o
@@MadIIMike that's the nickname of it
MadIIMike Oh I’m sorry! It’s official name is indeed Isetta!
Isetta is the Knutschkugel! No but I think it's a great idea! My Grandpa has both, the Isetta and the Messerschmitt and they're just hilarious
You mean a Messerschmitt as in Nazi Germany fighter planes?
Limo company: "Who would rent a limo at 11AM on a Tuesday?
CT: Oh boy Tuesday!
This guy is effortlessly hilarious! I haven't had a genuine chuckle like this in a while.
ALEX:Yeah who will be my prom king?
ME:*stares*
ALSO ALEX:*stares*
Prolonged eye contact is a sign of physical attraction.
Just saying.
Why these type of comments are considered "funny"?
@john m ur mom gay
That was a fucking hilarious joke haha. I love this guy.
Leonardo Vargas ~ it was funny because it was unexpected. You might like to imagine that every man is non-specific when it comes to sexual orientation, but the vast majority (around 95% in most blind demographic studies) still identify as heterosexual and likely, therefore, dream of prom queens while alone in the back of a limo. You need to stop virtue-signalling yourself into humorless irrelevance and laugh, presumably at yourself, once in a while. Not everything has to be an identity politics drama queen moment.
Idea for the next video
Living in/with a Van
Where Alex's tries living in a Transit/Sprinter van camper conversion for 48 hours or a week.
He should swap his Miata for Alex Honolds Sprinter LMAO
Alex needs to do it in a berlingo he’s small enough
Theres plenty of people doing that for real already?
I would love that
Yes!👍
4:50 he sounds like glenn quagmire
Giggidy giggidy, giddidy goo. Stick around...
Holy fuck
1:26 when the shy kid in class turns around and takes something out of his backpack:
The real question is, can Alex find a suit jacket that fits?
You never know what shows up at salvation army :)
God that fit is cancer remind me of my high school off the rack glued lining polyester suit for prom date it looks like ass.
1:21 The thing is with Alex is you can't tell whether he genuinely meant it 😂
Most of the times he does. :D
This video has given me a new found respect for limo drivers xD
Next video: living with a double decker bus please make this happen like so Alex can see this 😂
Idea: Living in a miata.
Alex has to eat, sleep, and loo from within his miata for at least 72 hours or a week.
if he fails, clearly the Miata is not the perfect car and the Miata failed.
(that'll put some pressure on him!)
Never seen the word loo used a verb by anyone but I know what you mean.
@@brandonmartin-moore5302 it's 2019 man anything is possible
@Josh R miata sounds so wet! MX5 all day
@@HazewinDog but..miata is always the answer
Finnaly a car that suits your height.
5FOOT7INCHES TO BE PRECISE.
Kiss my ass
@@Rahul-zj6he I will papi
I'm five seven and it's the Cats Ass. If you're wondering the Cats Ass is good! Living Large Enough!
I mean he has to compensate somehow
And it's 28 ft long
Can you daily drive an old learner car
WITH A VERY WORN CLUTCH
_AND NEVER LOSING MORE THAN 3 POINTS_
Drives a limo
Bus and truck drivers : Patethic
Can you live with a stretch limo?
Easy
No
Ofc you can! xD
living with it is easy
dailying it isnt
You can in Texas.
Going from a couch on wheels to luxury.
I've got a lot of miles in one of these, its doable but tough, and parking in San Francisco would be tough
Can we have an update on the mx5 please
Let’s stretch the mx5
@@kolinmartz nooo not Phil but another one 😂
MX5 Limo
5:40 Did he just advocate for using the sink as a toilet? In a limo?
I approve.
Many uses, Really Awesome 😂
Growing up we had a Daimler DS420 as our family car, probably the longest non stretched car ever made. It was brilliant for long trips. Before seatbelts were considered essential my sister and I used to sit, sleep and play on a duvet spread out on the floor in the back. Legroom was measured in feet rather than inches. The only downside was the wallowing ride which made me feel sick.
😀My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we’d make meat helmets.
When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe.
My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.
7:46 Richard Hammond?
This comment needs more attention lmao
This made my day
This one? :D
ruclips.net/video/-ESBmB1FtEk/видео.html
I am learner driver.
This is literally my nightmare.
Lol pussy
Hummer stretch limo must be your sleep paralysis demon then
@@evs251 To be fair most people would get one hell of a sweaty ass if they had to drive one of these around UK city roads lol
Happy Emoji As someone who regularly drives a 40’ truck it is hilarious watching Alex freak out
Sure can, my wife has a 2005 Deville limo that is her daily driver. The kids love getting picked up from school in a limo. We get some hilarious looks too. It is by far the best road trip vehicle ever!
Where in us?
My first car was actually a stretched Cadillac Fleetwood. We used it as our daily driver for the board of a rowing club. Had a 5,7L V8 under the bonnet with RWD, yes it did donuts ;) it was actually quite easy to drive, but the view out of the windows was appalling. The mirrors were the size of a folding make up mirror and you couldn’t look out of the back! All in all it was heaps fun and it turned many heads. The drive throughs were indeed impossible to do unfortunately.
MTV cribs intro was on point! lol
Hahah good stuff bro! From a subscriber in Ontario, Canada 👍 Keep up the great videos!
Fellow Canadian I see, eh!
“Im parking here you muppet” i was gone when he said that 😂
I saw it on Instagram and I was like I need to watch this. There isn't a single video by you guys that I haven't laughed at well done
2:07is that a e60 M5 v10?!its lovely
Best car in the whole video 👌
west side what about the Vauxhall Carlton?
It's not a Lotus Carlton
But its still a Carlton
@@kaoticokeibol1746 Great car as well, as a M5 E60 fan, I even like the Civic Type R EK9 😉
This series is getting kinda ridiculous... i LOVE it :D
To a North American: LIMO
To a European: LMAO!
He’s nervous with a 8 meter car and I’m here sitting in a 25 meter truck lmao
any living with a lada episode coming soon please?
Alex the next day: "Yeah I'm pretty much a limo driver"... "and a racing driver!"
"That steering rack is so slow!" - welcome to the Lincoln...
13:15
"Well shut up...I'm the driver....you shut your face" 😂😂😂
Reminds me of the days when I was a taxi driver and how I use to think when people would say you gotta go that way.
You could pull a good slender man with those sleeves Alex 🤣🤣
If there were 3 of him standing on each other we'd have the height
Great video and the shots in all of these recently! Really good topgear/grand tour shots and i would even say better presenting. SO fucking cool guys keep it up.
Yes these kind of videos are back
Paul is a genuine limo driver .. nice touch!
Great video CT!
For the next video maybe do a marauder on the Yorkshire dale roads!
anyone else remember Top Gear taxi racing with the limo?
Yes jezza with his giant panda split in half lol 😊
@@willc9978 No that's the limo episode
When James got out of the front car and into the back one and got shot by about 10000000 paintballs😂😂😂😂😂
Got spilt in half with a NYC taxi 😂😂
“Who will be my prom king” and the look and he gave after 😂
Tommy Sandoval, pro skater, bought one with one of his first pay checks like ten years ago. It was like an 80 something Cadillac limo with full bar. He even painted the vinyl top Rasta colors with house paint. It was the funny to see him drive around or pull up to the skate park in it.
I was like HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEF- oh it came out today, okay.
Loved the MTV Cribs stylee. That made me laugh..
Number 9 on trending good job man
Yeaaaaah EPIC Alex !
5:25 damn I laughed so hard my stomach hurts
🤣🤣Me too!
@@meshanemasweng6798 I was honestly genuinely more worried at 1:25 when Alex, who pumps iron, came out with "Yeah, who's gonna be my Prom King" .... slip of the tongue.
Wondering what else he 'pumps' now.
Next challenge: Can you live with a big truck? SCANIA, Volvo, DAF, MAN, you choose it. Drive it around...hook a trailer, park it....etc :)))
rcsibiu he’d need to get a license first
Yeah don’t think he has a license for that
Fun Fact.... Jeremy rode a 50cc scooter on the Vietnam special because he can ride on on his car license but can’t ride anything bigger without getting at least an A1
But they played it out smoothly
@@Racing_Fox413 yeah I know you need a license for this....but for fun he can be allowed to drive it...at least on some private road or whatever. A Limo is a special long vehicle and he was still allowed to drive it :)
I had a volvo 740 limo that i daily drove for 2 years. Worked great!
loved watching it.
6:28 I remember wearing my dad's coat when I was a child too
Lmao
me : *requests living with a limo in the last epsiode*
CT : *makes a living with a limo video*
me : this is beyond science
I really enjoyed this episode
I had to stop the video and make sure I gave it a thumbs up after the baby driver outfit change 😂😂
Big car. Big jacket. Small man.
Perfect sub title for a film starring Alex
The tail-lights have been modified, here in the states they're solid red, the amber inserts must be turn signals.
Yeh EU law required amber/yellow turn signals. Its basically just a safety requirement because it makes it easier to understand, signals dont overlap, etc
Solid red signals are stupid
@@Garfie489 in the Netherlands Red indicators are allowed
civic in the states has amber. the red isn't a regulation, amber is allowed too.
The 'MTV Cribs' style montage had me laughing 😂😂
4:50 "All right partner, keep on rolling baby, you know what time it is"
That all right sounded exactly like Fred Durst 😂😂
Baby driver is quite fitting for you Alex 😂😂
2:07 That red m5 👌🔥
Literally saw a limo the other day and was like I wonder if they daily it 😂 then I get on web and this pops up!!!😂😂 reading my bloody mind you legends
"I would be Australia if I was in my MX-5 right now" IM WHEEZING 😂😂😂😂😂
1:57 it's funny how his feet barely reach the other seats hahaha
Next time: living with a Soviet UAZ Jeep.
I lived with it. It has no comfort.
20 years ago I saw someone daily driving a limousine. I worked at a fast food place back then and this was about a 20 year old (early/mid 80s) Lincoln Town Car. It wasn't super long, just long enough it had two extra rearward facing seats behind the front seats. He always had to park in the back of the lot where there was enough room for his car not to stick too far out of the spot. He used to watch the tiny black and white TV when he would take his lunch break. This is what got the guy fired. He would drink a beer or two and the store manager caught him one day.
Patiently waiting for the prelude series to continue
13:05 lol, I instantly knew this is Great Warley. Been driving past this place for the last 2 years. (51°35'33.9"N 0°17'04.7"E)
rear axle steering would be very helpful
The Lincoln had a solid rear axle. It's like driving a boat. Driving in NYC is hard enough. But tiny UK roads? God bless.
It's a solid rear axle. It cannot be modified to have rear axle steering, hell, you can't even adjust alignment angles on the rear. It's all fixed. It's designed to never move.
I like how you have this rich music in the background
It’s like me driving around with my truck and trailer. It’s pretty fun driving with the added challenge. You haven’t lived until you’ve parallel parked with a trailer downtown
So should have tried ordering on uber eats to the maccas car park
I have been parking a combination truck (25.25m at the time) to pocket park. It was the most stupid thing ever, but in my school (I studied logistics) it was something we had to do. Never had to done that again after that. I think the limo would be much easier. Not easy, but much easier, haha. Now when 35m long trucks are allowed here in my country, hopefully I don't need to do that never again haha.
Quality content!
I wouldn’t watch Top Gear with Clarksons now, this channel is so much better!
This Video: How Smart car drivers see suv drivers in the City.
More like jacked up trucks
Living with a peel p50 would be awesome👌 even if Alex wouldn’t notice that it is a tiny car🤔
The think i love about this is that in london the road are quite narrow to begin with now say here where i live in Tucson the roads are ridiculously wide granted some drivethroughs are narrow but in sure you can find one here in the states that is good to fit a limo lol
Lincoln Town Car, the perfect limo. Sadly, I never rode in one. My high school prom cars were mine and my father's 1989 Crown Victorias. Miss those Panthers.
Next Video: Can you daily drive a 100t Dump Truck
Can you drive a limo every day?
No
But the real question is:
can you be driven around in a limo every day?
Yes! I used to drive these for a living.
@@WALTERBROADDUS have you met any famous people? If so, who
@@angel-uo6mj Actually in the one year I drove... I met: Marie Osmond, Little Richard, Baseball Hall of Famer Tim Mccarver, Finola Hughes from "General Hospital. "Former Congressman Joe Sesteak and a chief from the Food Network. Could had met the American Idol judges, But lucked out that day.
This is what I have been doing with my 30 years old Lincoln limousine. It is my first and only car, and daily car.
It is though the smallest of stretch limo, I can barely pass a drive thru.
Omg I love it😅I'm wanting to buy one right now to drive❤️
Alex´s Long Luxurious:
" We'll get you there, somehow"
I see my carlton gsi 3.6 24 valve almost every day ☺
But it's called opel omega 3000 here
That's cool. Wish I could see more of them
Yeah I live in Cali, its normal to see one of these everyday. This is the go-to limo for everyone. Its either the 07 towncar or a stretched Hummer H3.
You trending boooooay 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
YOU SPOTTED A GENUINE VAUXHALL CARLTON ??
I get the feeling that they are dropping hints again
Indeed!
Very niiice
Man they need to get one on the show.
Donut media too, I want an up to speed AND A bumper to bumper on that car
@@Zantrop64 Alfonso Ribeiro's Carlton is the only one we got.
I know I'm a little late to the video but when I was 15 I learned to drive on a 30ft Suburban limo. I drove it for 2yrs as a daily. It had a turbo'd Duramax engine in it so it was not lacking in power. It would do donuts like a beast!
Should have vlogged it
My Dad drove a ford Zephyr zodiac mk4 V6 3.0 limousine as a daily in london from Catford to Crystal Palace then to West Dulwich then most days to Herne Hill. Only 1 turn was tight.
Laughed too much at this😂
