Its easily just more interesting :D

Not too many youtubers reviewing the Porsche GT3 RS at the moment mate.

Did you mean 718 GT4?

Tbh I've always found cars like the Porsche GT3 etc kind of boring to watch. Like we all know the car is awesome to drive and everything works etc. These types of cars are more interesting to watch since you don't know what to expect

Relatable

I have actually hade such a challenge on this channel myself. Way before others got the idea. It's german, but it has got english subtitles

That's given me an idea. You seen those wheelie bin lifters on rubbish trucks? Get some attachment that fits into the bumper

indeed

Same. One of the reasons I don't watch the grand tour is because they aren't doing the same challenges. Everything feels scripted and fake, and when somebody mentioned it they made a whole episode making fun of the person who mentioned it.

John E. Those are the best.

That wasn’t intentional at all 😂😂

Top Gear has influenced all Automotive media.

Yes please

Yes cheap car videos are the best

Engineering Explained Alex would still manage to park next to it and hit it with the door

they did that in my local sainsburys - I feel disrespected lol

Reading this comment after parking my van at the back of a car park only to find someone still hit it with a shopping trolley yesterday :/

you all dont put the cart back? i mean back to the shop where all the carts are? is this some weird UK/US thing? weird

@@Lars-gu3wi thought that too! We take trolleys back in NZ

you're totally right my friend. i'm from Turkey . Our prizes more bad than you. because of we are comsuming people.

Yeah, no way would you get a used car here in Australia for 250 pounds. Only thing you might get is a civic with a blown headgasket and trashed body. You need to spend at least 1k aud to get something that runs and drives.

I can confirm this as true

Same in the USA!

Because the Swiss hate cars...

ONE POUND!!!

I once bought a car for £1 when I worked for webuyanycarS.com (a rip off webuyanycar.com) and a lady in central London called us with a Ford ka and I offered the £1 as the fees for us to collect it were higher than it's value so as a gesture the £1 was offered. The car was mint, 1 owner low mileage and when the driver arrived with the car a trader was waiting with £750 who went on to sell it for £1200ish. It's a rarity but as a motor trader it's a story I love to tell. 🤘

@@wannyyydilliamsss ONE POOOOOOUND (bingo balls go all over the floor)

PLEASE DO MORE CHEAP CAR CHALLENGES!!! Maybe even with two or three cars & a nice roadtrip to scotland or whatever

You can get a $100 car that supposedly works in the states

well when u buy a 2nd hand car you pay for like 200,00

In Germany it is even hard to get a car with "TÜV" aka MOT for under € 1.000,-. For just 500,- you get mostly non-working garbage...

That car is probably worth 5000 £ in my country 😂😂😂😂

Sadly unlike the US, in most other countries( most of Europe) 2000$ is the minimum to get a running shitbox....

They are good.. But unfortunately they get along little too much. Top gear guys r supposed to hate each other gut.. Lol

Think they would be brilliant 👏

I think that site might be a bit wrong, as there's a UK owner's club for Ladas and they have quite decent sized meetups - a friend of mine (who is, admittedly, quite, quite mad) has two Rivas and a Niva, all currently road legal, so I know there are definitely a few left.

They want rich celebrities to host and for me they are not that interesting or funny. Remember how terrible the other versions of top gear are like in America, Australia.
