When James started driving, Thomas turned into everyone’s mom when their kids start learning to drive.
My Gf's mom is like this to this day :D Making faces and noices while i take turn at 50km/h :D
Or just by going 1mph over the speed limit lmao
actually turned into an old woman
@@VinnetouCZE to be fair pushing her that fast in her chair is a bit scary. LOL
LOL your right. His face says it all @10:41.
Thomas James you guys single handedly have made YT car review scene fun and exciting again ( also Hagerty with Jason but it's not about him it's about you Guys) and I cant thank you guys enough for that
They’ve captured and reinvented all of the charm and fun of Top Gear and made it their own. It’s actually much better and far less “produced”. It feels genuine. These guys deserve all of the success int he world.
Jason is so fantastic I can listen to him all day talk about cars
If you guys could just slap each other more often that would be great.👍😳🤪😂
They haven't done it single handedly... They've got at least four.
Also Savageese adds a different flavour to car review videos.
This channel really is the spiritual successor to Top Gear. Top notch automotive content by two car obsessed people who don’t take themselves too seriously and know how to have a good time. Congrats on 2 million well earned subscribers.
Yes!!!! I was just seeing how amazing the photography is and wondering how much this channel must spend on production values while looking like something made by 2 buddies. They are fun to watch in a way the good old Top Gear was.
Couldn't agree more. So than they will be hopefully around for a while.
I wholeheartedly agree here! The wide variety of useful yet entertaining reviews mixed with hilarious skits just has such an (original) Top Gear feel to it!
I was just sitting here with the wife saying these guys are the next Top Gear. They bring the whole package with so much more. After working a hard day I'm always happy to make time to sit down and watch Thomas and James... Happy days mate !
Throttle House is like the old Top Gear back when they actually reviewed 4 or 5 cars in a single episode, some of which people could actually afford or attain and they only had one 'Gimmick' Segment rather than EVERY SINGLE FUCKING SEGMENT having to be May or Hammond in a Fiat 500 Abarth racing to some arbitrary point against a guy with a Jet Engine Strapped To His Back in a Squirrel Suit... The show became a literal farce.
James looked so chill driving this thing and Thomas looked like he never forgot how expensive of a car it is.
How expensive is it?
Looking online, they go for about $400,000. This is about double what they sold for new (adjusting for inflation).
@@JohnSmith-ys4nl crazy, I recall in the early 2000's you could pick them up used for 90-100k
@@deanwilliams433 Actually in an early episode of Top Gear(2003 I think), Hammond said Miuras are about 90K, that's just mad these days!
I'm quite jealous that you all seem to fit inside way better than me.
I instantly pictured you crammed in yours like a sardine when they first started driving it! LOL
HOOVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
“I’m quite jealous [but actually just want to remind you of true KZhead celebrity potential] that you all seem to fit inside [that one you borrowed for the day] better than me [in the one in my garage…].” Jkjk lots of respect for both of these self made car channels!
Much love from Seattle. Vinnie G
Doug didn’t complain about the headroom as much as you do and he’s 6’4 he’ll be happy to remind you.
James getting every Italian translation correct killed me 😂
Same.
Yeah, that's a little suspicious. 🙂
I could never afford a real one, but I own a kit car that looks the part really well. My dad spent 12 years building it because he too was completely enamored with the Countach. It’s so hilarious. It’s like driving a cartoon come alive. That’s about the only way I can explain it. The attention you get, the looks, the questions, I can’t even explain it, and mine isn’t even a real one. My dad always said it was real to him because he knew it would be the closest thing he’d ever own. He passed away recently, but his hard work will live on as long as I’m still here.
Your dad was a G and I’m glad he left you something as special as that, even if it is a rep.
Being a kit, what's the powerplant in it? I know they made kits for Pontiac Fiero frames (of all things) for a while.
Your dad should have dreamed bigger instead of settling don’t be him, grow your wealth it is possible
@@josephandreuccetti7270 They call it a dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.
That' is the best Lamborghini story I have ever heard!
You two _(and your awesome crew)_ have almost completely replaced the hole left when Jeremy, James and Richard left Top Gear. Thank you :)
Agreed but have you watched the Grand Tour on Amazon? The trio are still juggernauts in this field. I really do like Throttle House though, they do a fantastic job.
@@thirtyfivefifty6551 yea, totally. Watched all of them as they came out. Love those three. Really started a trend, IMO.
@@thirtyfivefifty6551they arent rly producing gt anymore other than specials so this part of the show does need a successor
“They made the air compressing lighter air conditioning weighter less” will always be a classic😂
I'm still not sure what he was trying to say...that the reduction in weight of the compressor resulted in a reduction of the air conditioning unit as a whole, I guess?
*Are they having too much fun at their jobs?*
The “get-in” helmet has to be one of my favorite bits of any car show ever. So happy to see this channel thrive
Couldn't agree more. Loved that bit.
James has a name.
That "tinnnng" sound!!!
it literally makes me burst out laughing when i rewatch
15:59 "Cramped, hot danger" is one of the funniest phrases I've ever heard in a vehicle review. You guys continue to be naturally hilarious!
It's also what I often feel when I've eaten Thai food.
I’m recovering from some not so good airport food and I laughed so hard I might need some clean underwear 😂
What a great way to celebrate! When the Countach came out it made EVERY other car look old. It was so incredibly brash and over the top that it became an instant icon. There may never be another car as radically, mechanically beautiful. Glad you got to experience and share it with us!
In fact, this car, in its day, was a very futuristic car that could also be current today. A true icon of Italian design !
@@aris1956 It's the most beautiful car ever. However, I am also very impressed with McLaren's new Speedtail. That thing is amazing looking too.
Congrats gents, what an amazing journey and so glad you guys winning💪🏽
CONGRATS GUYS! The Countach is absolutely legendary. I didn't have a poster of it on my wall as a kid, but that doesn't make me want to drive one any less. So jealous.
Great now they should get an Ferarri F40 and after that Porsche 959 and after the holly trinity completed finally the last manual Naturally aspirated hurrah the mighty : McLaren F1 !!!..
@@ericalorraine7943 I'll suggest you lookup Priscilla Dearmin-Turner, she's the real investment prodigy since the crash and have help me recovered my loses
A CNBC news host spoke so highly of the💕 woman Priscilla Dearmin-Turner and her loss prevention strategies been trying to get to her ever since didn’t know she was so accessible
@@lezliewhicker8450 I just lookup her name online and found her webpage, thank you🙏
Paid off $892000 debt within 7 months thanks to Madam Priscilla! So happy we are finally onto baby step 4, 5 & 6! Amazing! 🇨🇦
Thomas is hilarious this entire episode. From the faces to the grunts. Dude is cracking me up. LOLOL
There aren’t many other cars in existence that could garner more attention and smiles than a nice Countach like this one at a cars n coffee. Love it or hate it, this is one of the most iconic and important cars of all time.
You guys went from mildly entertaining to flat out hilarious in just a couple of years. You always seem to be having fun and have great chemistry, and enough expertise be some of the most informative reviewers as well. Jason Camissa better watch his back (although is in-depth car history videos are still my favorite right now). Congrats!
It still looks bonkers, no matter which car you park besides it, the Countach will stand out
I tend to prefer the Diablo if you're talking about styling. It probably drives similar to the car you love till you drive it. No wonder these cars are parked in so many Collections with low mileage on the odometers!
Though a lot has been said about the outlandishness of the styling already, seeing it in motion really put it into perspective. Some of the shots here almost seemed like abstract compositions.
Congrats on the 2 million guys. Never imagined I would be so keen to watch a Canadian and an Englishman rant on about cars every video, but here we are. So glad to have discovered and see how Throttle House has progressed all these years. Much love and appreciation from a place called Western Australia.
Congrats on hitting 2 million! Have been watching for over 3 and a half years; since the very first video I have loved the chemistry between you and your review style. It’s been awesome to watch you rise, and you deserve all the best. Thank you for the content and for brightening my days. Congratulations! 🎊🍾
I absolutely love how James and Thomas are pointing out how "mechanical" the car is and how it takes effort to drive the car and yet you see the biggest smile on Thomas's face! That's what cars are meant to do!
Couldn't of happened to two better guys. Thank you for always making me laugh, providing exceptional car reviews and not being sponsored by raid shadow legends. I still laugh when I think about the blackwing skit 😂
One of my favorite designs for a car ever
CONGRATULATIONS on getting 2m subs! You guys definetely deserve it. Your videos are some of the most high quality, etertaining, informative and simply beautiful content on earth. Thank you for getting me past 2020(Covid) and thank you for still making excellent videos that never disappoint.
The look of sheer panic and dread when James spun out that GT was priceless
That had to be one of the greatest moments on this channel!
Best car review video of all time on any channel! From the icon status of the car, to the detailed review and commentary, to the amazing video footage, to the genuine chemistry and humor of you two car journalists. Congrats on 2 million! 💪💪
What I love about the car is how flat and wide it is, it's still one of the most unique looking cars ever
Was smiling ear to ear the entire video! Glad to have stumbled onto this channel. You guys are killing the car review game. Thanks for all the wonderful hours spent.
You both have become the absolute peak of the KZhead car community. You’re the new benchmark, and I couldn’t be happier for that. Thank you for all you do!!
Thomas and James have become a highlight of so many of my days, thanks for putting out such great content. You both have come so far in the past year, and this video is just an example of the crazy stuff you do together. Cheers guys.
LOL the only car where the passenger also feels connected to the driving experience and shares the terror of the driver. Great video. I also can't wait till you guys test the Diablo. That's one of my favourtite super cars as well. Pretty much ever lamborghini ever made is my favourite super car lol
The chemistry between you two is unmatched on the KZhead car review scene! Congrats on the 2M and the continuing success of the channel! I came for a Factory Five Cobra review and stayed for everything else!
I was in High School / Junior year 1985 when an ACTUAL red Countach drove to my neighbors house in New York and my 16 year old jaw hit the floor. To see the ACTUAL car, IN PERSON, in 1985 was MIND ALTERING… You could not help but look at it. And stare. And admire. It was, HANDS DOWN the most over-the-top OMG LOOK AT ME car in the world. Like seeing Star Wars in 1977, or The Matrix in 1999, you are never quite the same… Such an icon, still so beautiful, yet uncomfortable, hot, quirky, and showing it’s age a bit…. Like all of us 🤔

That lfa 3x downshift will never be topped as the last few seconds of an episode. Lovely.
In the 80s driving in a Countach, picking up the phone asking "what do you want?", must have been the pinnacle of life, ok it was definitely the pinnacle
Congrats on the milestone! I love the dynamics between you guys on screen. Thanks for all the entertainment!
That accidently correct part combined with James' smile was hilarious
He's like Peter Griffin speaking Italian.
All european languages other than hungarian and finnish are related sooo
Still the biggest icon in car history. I can imagine your struggle. A week ago I was driving a 365 Daytona. Heavy steering, haevy clutch, bad breaks but what fun. At least until I had to drive trough city traffic in Zürich…
My god 2 years? What an awesome way to tie everything back to the beginning of something absolutely amazing, i’ve always been fascinated by how you guys go over the unique things about cars after all this time and sometimes when you watch others do it, yeah you learn things you never knew but some don’t have that thrill or fun side to it, and you guys capture it perfectly! Thanks for making this fun to watch and i’ll be looking forward to the many more cars you guys review!! Cheers to 2 million subs guys!!
These guys are so loveable. Like brothers, like best friends. They have the most wholesome attitude towards their passion and even outside their videos; are so cool. Congratulations on the success, it is well deserved. Here's to millions more! Thank you for getting us car nerds through some tough times and making us laugh when the world couldn't. Love you both ♥️.
Thomas and James, you guys are the alpha of your genre and I look forward to your car reviews more than anyone else on KZhead! Congratulations on hitting 2 million subscribers and I know the best is yet to come!😀☝👍
"... the alpha of your genre.." What does that even mean? 🤡🥴
@@heybro6105 It means, they are the "Top dogs" the "Best" the "pinnacle " etc of giving car reviews!
I'm completely exhausted just from watching you drive this car.
I have watched Top Gear since the late 90's. Thank you for filling the void.
Congrats everyone at TH for the 2M. This is one of my favorite channels to watch. Well deserved.
Literally so happy for you guys! I've been a huge fan for 2 years and watching the increase in production and everything has been truly amazing, what a cool montage and even cooler channel
I am glad you are not only figuratively happy for them. That would be confusing.
If any channel deserve 2 mil subscribers, it's you guys. Perfect mix of entertaining and informative.
When you've watched most of these videos at the montage you know you're a legend
Grats fellas on the 2MILLY subs! You guys are gaining traction and growing because you've created a car review formula unlike others, that's unique, unusual and most of all, fun to watch without being over the top. PS. The Lamborghini Countach is my childhood dream car, of which I had posters of it plastered on all 4 walls. You lucky bastards haha.
"Gaining traction" Like with cars
I laughed so much watching this, my face hurts now. Well done! congrats on 2 million subs you deserve them all and many more.
Congrats, guys--well deserved, you guys have been killing it! Thanks for the great show.
Congrats guys, your team absolutely deserves the success!! A friend of mine had to do some work for a retired baseball player a long time ago, that owned a Countach. He said it was the nastiest, hottest, scariest and loudest car he had ever been in let alone tried to drive lol. Keep up the awesome work, whenever I see a new video from your channel, I get excited :)
Congratulations! The highlights at the beginning of the video took me back through some amazing memories you guys have created for us viewers, and the 2 million subscribers have absolutely been earned by you guys and the amazing team you have behind the scenes. Cheers to you!
Congrats guys! I actually had that “Alpine high fidelity” poster on my wall! Awesome car and that raw emotion you get looking at a Countach has never been duplicated.
Two cars come to mind that makes me feel the same way I do about this car. First is the McLaren F1, next is the Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR (97').
I suspect that a high proportion of Alpine's sales, were due to the brilliant marketing brainwave that was association with the Countach.
I just realized why I enjoy watching your channel so much. You’re doing your version of a Top Gear type of show as well as Jeremy, Richard and James ever did. Congrats on the 2M! Keep fucking around and doing all the dumb things!
Many congrats on hitting 2 million. Best auto journalist, IMO, since the original Top Gear. I had the black Countach 5000 QV owned by Walter Payton on my bedroom wall when I was a kid. Still my ultimate dream car. And nothing sounds more distinctive than the Countach V12, the 4.8 in the QV of course. I'm jealous, but at least I can live vicariously through your experience.
Okay, I guess it's time: to mark the occasion of 2 million subscribers. This is now the best car channel on KZhead. Keep up the great work, the fun shenanigans and most amazing videography! Congrats to the whole team. You guys are killing it!
2 million subs and still underrated. You deserve every one of them and more, thanks for years of excellent content!
Great job with everything you've done i've been watching since the first 500,000 and i've absolutely been glued to yall's channel ever since. You guys are like the next Top Gear to me, and that's VERY high praise. Congrats and your achievements are amazing.
A day with a new Throttle House vid is a good day. Congrats on 2M!
2 million, wow!! Congratulations guys. I'm glad to be a small part of your journey. Everyone on your crew certainly deserves it!
Huge congratulations guys - nobody deserves this more. And man that flashback montage was great.
Huge Congrats Guys! Waited all day to get home and enjoy this video. You are the best!
I've watched this one before. I was watching it again today and it brought me tears to see you guys so happy doing what you love and killing it. Please don't abandon this channel. Best wishes!
Shed a tear ngl, congratulations TH team and everyone involved in helping with vehicles (dealers, fans)!!! The passion you guys share is incredibly palpable and inspiring. No matter how hard times became, me and many others tuned to this channel. Seeking to satiate our collective passion for cars, and reliving our childhood nostalgia for sports cars with each episode. Thank you, and here's to many more years of TH!!!
Wow! The Countach is up there as one of my favourites. I am so glad to see you guys hitting 2 mil and getting the fame you deserve!!!
you guys just gives old top gear vibes and I love it!!! Wish you guys the best oof the best so tha this channels blows up
Congrats guys. Been here since around 35.000 subs and you are just getting better and better!
It's so crazy that it wasn't that long aga when the channel was below a million and now it's at 2mil... Well deserved guys ❤️
I think it's still one of the best looking lambo made. Looks as cool today as it did when new
I have quite a few channels that I watch daily, or at least, on a regular. And this is the one channel that I push to others regularly. Smart, funny as shit, great drivers that I've grown to trust and know will be honest. Such an easy recommend! You guys are great! Congrats on the 2M!
Congratulations on the huge milestone. You guys are the most enjoyable, entertaining and informative duo. Please keep us informed and entertained on both channels for years to come. Cheers 🍻
Congrats guys. Seriously. Thanks for the quality, information, and wide range of variable reviews of all and anything cars. ❤️ the things i’d do just for an opportunity to do what you guys do, congrats!
Congratulations to all the team. The brief montage was very emotional!
Congrats, Throttle House team and thanks for this special treat.
Pure legend, none of the modern shits can replace this.
Congrats on the 2 mil guys, well deserved
I love seeing a car like this driven in such a way.
master chef dus tgis how yiu realy drive orooleey
undoubtedly amongst the top car content creators. massive congrats to both of you (and the rest of the team) and hope to see you hit 3 mil soon 🎉🖤
Just found them and already my favorite car reviewers out today
That’s one off the bucket list. Must have been an awesome experience.
Honestly, as a child I loved the 25th anniversary edition Countach; but as I’ve gotten older, all the unnecessary aero kit on it has lost its novelty. I really do love the body limes of the original lamborghini countach.
Agreed. The OG Lambo has a much cleaner, more elegant look. This one looks like a Hot Wheels edition--a bit cartoonish. Still, any Countach is a good one to have, and I wouldn't turn it down.
Miura!
Low-body ALL the way!
Get rid of the aero. Otherwise I like the smoothed out lines of the 25th.
Congratulations on 2M subs! That's an epic and well deserved accomplishment. You guys by far provide some of the best automotive content and I'm excited for what's to come. Of course, another great video - had that Lambo on my wall as a kid too. Cheers mates 🍻
Congrats fellows! Well deserved BIG-TIME! 😃
Congratulations on the 2 million! The Countach was one of the 4 cars on my bedroom wall, along with the Porsche 959, Ferrari F40 and... Saab 9000 CD. Thank you for actually driving it like it was made for!
The SAAB stands out, why did it make the wall?
@@Ce0ammer My parents had just bought one, and I thought it was so cool :) so they ended up asking the dealership for a poster for me, and the guy at the dealership was so excited that someone wanted one, that they practically showered me in Saab swag :D
@@AIRDRAC Ahh I see, those taillights were amazing at the time! Bangel brought it to the 7-series 😉
@@Ce0ammer Absolutely! My first car actually ended up being a 9000, so I guess you could say that I have owned one of my dream cars :D
bjy akl three
I wouldn’t care how much effort it takes to drive, every time I’d hear that V12 rev it’d be worth it! And imo it’s also the best-looking supercar ever made!
I believe Lambo revived the Countach didn't they? A few years back?
@@JohnSmith-ys4nlI think it was a very low production special edition version of the Aventador that sort of looked similar to the Countach? Certainly can’t match the coolness of the original. For one, there’re way too many modern safety regulations to make a car that looks like cars from the 80s lol. The closest you could get is probably how the Lotus Esprit looked in its last model year, 2004.
yes that right
Congrats on 2 million subs! we love the cars but the real reason we are all here is because you two (and your team) do a great job of reviewing the cars and making us laugh. 🍻
Congrats on 2M! That's awesome! This is one of my favorite channels on KZhead. Now you have to get in a new Countach!
Congrats on 2 million guys! You deserve it 100%, can’t to see what the future holds 👍🔥🇨🇦
Congrats on reaching 2 million lads , VERY entertaining and funny review! I had a similarly underwhelming experience in an '86 Ferrari 328 GTS many years ago.
buy itt
Don’t ever stop doing what you do, I’m not exaggerating, sadly, when I say nothing makes me smile as much as a new video from you two, and the crew of course. Thanks 👍
Thank you for the amazing content Throttle House . Much appreciated.
The attention to detail in this video is awesome,the moving back shot of the car with oversharpening,heavy vignetting,dark shadows really makes it 80s like
Very brave winding this powerful engine/machine out to redline on curvy public roads. It’ll bite you if it breaks loose. No traction aids. It’s as visceral as it gets and unforgiving. More of a ‘looker than a ‘driver.
Congratulations guys! You are my favorite channel on KZhead! Keep up the great work!
I would like to say Congratulations on 2mil subscribers!! You guys put out outstanding videos. Keep up the fantastic work. Next 5mil subscribers, lets go!!!
True spiritual successor to the original top gear (I mean the one that ended because of a slap) . Even the grand tour couldn't really pick up where that one left off. This one despite being much lower budget makes a huge impact. And reinforces the belief in a proper script even for a car review.
That was an amazing Lamborghini Countach review, and it put it in perspective how much different and better Supercars are today. Owe alot of that to the 1st gen Acura NSX, which completely changed what a Supercar of that era was.
Oh shit!! The boys made 2million!!! Congrats Kings!!!
All the other channels that most of us watch along with Thomas and James' Throttle House EXPLAIN cars to us. Thomas and James allow us to LIVE and EXPERIENCE the joy of every car (BAC Mono moment Thomas was peak). Thank you boys. You are the absolute BEST. May all your dreams and goals come true. We love you
15:18 The car almost looks like someone could make a time machine out of it... and as a plus it could actually make 88 mph.
