We took our cheap £500 cars on another 500-mile road trip, now fitted with modifications like rally lights and lowered suspension. Will our budget cars make it? Who knows, but there'll be lots of crashing into each other, and roadside repairs along the way.

The only legit substitute for the old TopGear challenges.
Superspeeders rob's roadtrips are a blast too.
And autotrek is pretty good too
I second that motion
Truth
@@Doggie504504 true but th has more the low budget, friends on a trip, vibe
I’m so glad you keep doing these challenges with cheap cars. They’re so much more fun than videos with expensive ones in my opinion:)
Its bevause we can relate to those because we drive same crappy cheap shits.
Totally agree the cheap car challenges are so much more fun!
@@igor.vysoky Also there is no problem bumping into each other every now and then, which would be a problem with expensive cars
not really but ok
👌👌👌
The production and editing on this episode was your best ever, and Jack particularly has become such a good car journalist! I would watch him review any car.
I also noticed that. Jack has become much more confident in himself for sure! And it’s great! He’s funny as fuck
This is the closest thing to the old Top Gear I could wish for. Love the Adventure Challenge!
Just needs more sarcastic insults and we're good to go
Alex: moves 10m away from the Golf Edwin: So you've chosen an extra Freshener
And ethan
looool
😂😂😂😂😂
Ethan's car has serious design cues from May's Volvo in the Africa Special. Love it!
It's more Richards Subaru in my opinion.
nah Jeremy's BMW
Fancy that
@@Arturro671 definitely richard's subaru
"Oh no!" "What?" "my bed's gone out of allignment" "Oh *you*'ve got problems!"
The sequence where it cuts between Ethan wondering round a garden centre whilst Alex and Jack are surfing is absolutely hilarious
As someone from Devon it was a weird experience watching Ethan walking around homeleigh lmao
Tonight on Car Throttle: Alex: hits Jack's car Jack: kicks Alex's car Ethan: buy's a tree Edwin: hides an air freshener
Man stares squintingly into the sun while having sunglasses resting on his crown and a sun visor tucked in above his head
No need for an apostrophe in buys
Effectively Ethan made the VW carbon neutral by planting a tree right behind the exhaust
Exactly what Jeremy did back in 2012
@@Afraz_9n3 Except Ethan improved the structural integrity.
@@dbclass4075 yep Jeremy just hooked a greenhouse to the back then it all shattered 😂
@@Afraz_9n3 That's what will happen for letting an orangutan with allergy to manual labour do the job.
Jack calling that goat a deer killed me 😂 that’s so Essex 😂
Lmao he said it was "tight as shit" too, fucking killed me with that 😂💀
@@toeleg "tatty as shit"... and he's bloody right. A goat is a truly tatty deer.
@@toeleg He says "tatty as shit", but after listening again it does sound like "tight as shit" in some form of American accent😂
@@charliebrayson oh damn I'm going to have to listen to that part again. Either way funny as I have never heard something was tatty unless it was torn or something and then it really would be tattered but idk lol thanks for the explanation regardless
ok
Haven’t laughed as much in a long time! Love the banter and genuine friendship between you guys and not forced or silly scripted humour like certain other well known trios. Looking forward to part 2. Only live in Kent but never been west beyond Longleat and really want to visit Cornwall.
Who are you referring to by the other trio?
@@Ouaziz186new top gear shite
Love how jack was shouting how he couldn't see when the sun was glaring in their cars, But what was on his head? SUNGLASSES 🤣🤣 38:41
So glad there’s a follow-up to this epic series! The first part genuinely inspired me and two friends to do something similar - we each bought a car for 500€ (I got a Toyota Paseo, my friends a Skoda Felicia and a Golf III Cabriolet), and then 2 months ago we headed for a two-week long, 3000 km road trip across Italy. A truly amazing adventure with fantastic memories, and it all started with me watching the first episode of this series and saying „We‘ve got to do this as well“… Thanks for the great content! 😍
not only you, I got myself a Ford Mondeo Mk3 without Tüv so i have to fix it up first. I don't know what the others got so far.
Hopefully you filmed it so you can make a 1 hour video and post it!
Thank god you're not portuguese. That saxo is probably worth 3000€ in there 😅
I'd also love to go on an adventure like that... Did you film your experience?
No, we didn't film it unfortunately, we only took a bunch of photos and Insta stories. We planned to film it at first, but we obviously don't have a production crew / camera car / drone like CT does, so it would've been quite difficult and time-consuming for a rather unimpressive result... Therefore we decided to just enjoy it 😅
Tonight: Alex washes a car Ethan walks past some greenery And Jack reviews a deer
*"Jessica" played poorly on a recorder intensifies*
Tonight, on Automobile Brake
@@RubyRoks t'night on bo'um gear
@Malik who doesnt lol
All this and more, tonight on Bottom Throttle...
The air freshner bit @ 19:00 is just gold.
Im an American but I absolutely love when channels like this use cheap cars anyone car acquire vs crazy exotics that we cant afford. Id rather watch cheap cars 10/10 times.
The chemistry between you three is such good fun to watch. More like this please
Erm....that may not be an option.
@@Booka3141 if your talking about Alex he already said he's going to stay, he's just got his own channel now
I thought this was a reupload of last years
Major classic top gear vibes with this one Nice work lads
Congratulations of duplicating the success of mid 00's TG in creating genuinely enjoyable and watchable content of 3 guys with great chemistry messing about in cars. As more recent iterations of TG have demonstrated, its not an easily repeatable task. This should really have more views, I am looking forward to part 2.
The focus with the fog light looks wicked from the front it'd so wrc! Now it need a lift, chucky tires, mudflaps and a Martini livery!
This video couldn’t have come at a better time! We have just finished our NC500 trip, and I told my dad about your guys version which I watched when you first released it, he of course then watched the videos and loved them! And now we can both watch the “SC500” haha, great stuff guys! 👍 Also, Ethan, you smashed it with the upgrades mate.
Awesome stuff working with guys, it was a blast teaching you🤙🏻
As someone who until recently had family in the South-West, it's always interesting to see how people who don't frequent the area react to it. Honestly, this episode actually made me tear up a bit, as I went there in March to say goodbye to my Grandfather. All the best lads.
Matching the humour and entertainment of Top Gear at, what I would imagine is a fraction of their budget. These films are what people want and your relationship together makes these films as entertaining as Top Gear/Grand Tour. Please don't wait 6 months for part 2 😭
2008 Top Gear vibes, pure class!
It’s nice to see how Ethan has modified my mums old car, I’m sure she would love the mods 😂
No way he bought it off your Mum!!?? 😂.
@@juddy_29 my mum had it years ago, I crashed it into some bloke in a Ford mondeo estate, wrote his car off but the focus was alright, then brother drove into the front on the house!
@@juddy_29 he didn’t buy it off my mum but she owned it!
@@br4d101 Wow, that's amazing. Your Mum must be pretty cool driving a car like that, 😀😎.
@@juddy_29 what, a yellow bog standard focus 1.6? it's hardly an RS or a 170..
I still have my Saxo, which I bought in 1998 new. Took it round Europe on x3 separate occasions on Roadtrip's over 2-3 weeks. Never missed a beat! Slept inside a few times after heavy nights at uni on the back seat, with my legs over the hatch! Remember once sleeping in an Aire on the Autobahn due to traffic/Autobajn shut due to a serious accident. My mate on the backseat, my cousin in the passenger seat and myself on the drivers seat, seat tilted back tucked in our sleeping bags! Coffee in the morning never tasted so good! #LovemySebastianSaxo
These 30min+ videos are far better than any TV programme, keep it up boys!
You guys simply are the new top gear, all fun af like good old days with Jeremy, Richard and Cap slow
Just saying, in 2+ years we will say that these were the good times. Enjoy them now boys!!!!!
Man, the chemistry between you guys and just the atmosphere in this series.. love it! Seriously had me feeling nostalgic like i was watching one of the first top gear specials again
3:40 Thanks for the tinnitus, I'll treasure it forever
I'd love to see an official CT map of the SC500 route.
no doubt it'll be on a tea-towel soon
Same I want to do it myself
@@adamwatts4 they'll probably show it when they finish it (release part 2 i think)
Just when I thought I was in for a depressing evening after a depressing week. Thank you 🙏
Head up buddy, tough times don't last.
“You have power over your mind not external events”-remember how something effects you depends on your judgment of the event. Try think about stuff in a different manner and keep your head up.
Chin up lad and keep going, be proud that you are getting through tough times, they don’t last forever 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@SmithT96 this.
@@bouncecentral230 True that, just tough at the moment, I’ll bounce back I’m sure!
Better than the whole of the new series of top gear great watch lads keep it up timeless
I love this kind of Top-Gera inspired series. Cant wait for the next episode, and future iterations of this format!!
And this is exactly what I was needing to cheer me up! Thank you CT!!
Boys, This is some SERIOUS Top Gear content! I'm loving every second!
THAT WAS AMAZING thank you very much guys for giving me the vibes man love it so wholesome
I’m laid up sick today, and this is just what I needed to relax and rest. Bless this channel.
You guys should have a "race" with these from Stavanger to Trondheim in Norway, no ferries allowed and keep to the west coast 🏎🤪
Oh have mercy, the west coast? Will there be bonuspoints for slogans, like _"Cottage pies are for queers"_ ;) ?
Cudos to the whole crew! At this scale the production is at the same bar as good old top gear specials! This is a really great series and just can’t wait to see what else there is coming!
More of that please! This trio is awesome, please give us a video every week. Top gear vibes..
You guys had me in stitches, looking forward to part 2
I gotta admit, this is one of my favourite Carthrottle video, where you all are together doing something fun with cars, just absolutely amazing , maybe for another video travel to Denmark ?
I love how that every video's format gets more like top gear with various pranks and shenanigans.
"peolpe you like, and Alex" lol what a line. Good epi guys
This is mainly for the algorithm because this style of content is awesome and I hope it gets tons of views so you do more like this!!
Video idea: Get a £500 car, then you go on 200-1000 mile journey. At the end, you get the amount driven (£1 / 1mile) as "improvement fund". The lads can compete on who gets their car most improved for the circumstances.
Watching you 3 lads just reminds me of the old top gear. Absolute perfection guys. Please keep it up and bring more of this content to us. Amazing work
YES! I've been waiting for this! Love that in true Top Gear cheap car challenge tradition, they modified them too! Ethan truly did it properly too, very similar to Hammonds WRX.
Love what y’all have done here,we’ll done reminds me of old top gear with the great trio and y’all have done it your own way. Keep this up for the viewers like me and not to mention I’m on deployment with the army,this made my day.
Love seeing the boys back out on the road, this series has been so much fun to watch
So glad you three are still doing stuff.
These are my fav videos on YT. Makes it better because you can tell you’re all just irl mates having a laugh. Love the new content on your new channel as well Alex! Keep it up
You have got some of the best video's on KZhead. The content is just brilliant I can't wait for part 2 you guys really shine doing these challenges, next time mabye you guys will be doing more than cross country mabye into other countries with cheaper cars with silly Mods the possibilities are just tones. Great video guys It was a great idea to make your own route up.
Alex - Clarkson Ethan - May Jack - Hammond
This one of the best content on KZhead right now.... absolutely fantastic.... what the might of BBC isnt able to do with the new TG, CT is able to pull off perfectly 👍
Alex staying is great because the chemistry between the 3 of them is great. Fantastic to watch. I hope these guys keep this up.
Golden team you guys are! Keep up the great work guys. These videos put one hell of laugh on my face. Every single time 👊🏻👊🏻
It’s really cool how these guys are enjoying my local roads.
Should’ve went up Porlock hill into Lynton and lynmouth, one of the nicest scenic roads to drive on imo, great video none the less
Loved this! Loved it! May have to copy you I enjoyed it so much 🤣 top work lads, really enjoyable, very relatable and extremely entertaining. Can’t wait for part 2!!!
This honestly has a lot of the best qualities of the old top gear cheap car challenges, before it rose to it's popularity. But still plenty of originality. Nailed it!
Ethan is getting brave! And this was quite the laugh!
This really reminds me of the old Top Gear!
Well, they copied it, so yeah….
@@jaguarke069 ah well it’s better than the new presenter’s
THIS is the new Top Gear, love it!
get so much top gear vibes from this, just a bit more wholesome :)
Its basically top gear on youtube at this point, great stuff
The Definitive Car Throttle Guide To Eating A Scone by Jack W Joy "You spread the cream all over your body then you swallow the scone whole" Jack was later asked so what's the jam for and replied with his classic "Would't you like to know"
These are my favorite kind of video's from this awesome channel!
Oh you guys are a riot! I wish you'd make videos like this more often. I'd love to be on a recorded road trip with these kinds of antics
Brilliant, everyone has a mate like Alex!!! I'm doing the NC500 in September and was going to do it in my daily, but you have made me want to dig my 20 year old Focus out and use that!
Ethan has gone for that van life style. Love it.
PG Tips? Oh, Ethan, get some Yorkshire! "When you're on a road trip with people you like . . . and Alex . . . " Brilliant!
❤ your work ethan 🤣 the air freshener idea etc.. .brilliant/ teamwork makes the dream work haha
38:40 My dude's got his sunglasses on his head and is squinting his eyes against the sun... 🤦🏻
"believe it or not, i've missed this car, it's like stepping into an old friend... wait-"
Lads, this is the content I need right now. It's old top gear with a new spin and more taking of the p. Keep it up
These guys are a laugh. Great humor and funny videos. keep up the good work guys!
I like how Alex spent all that money on a trailer but didn't spend £30 for wheel balancing 🤣
No link to a Google maps route or anything? Cmon guys, we legit need to make this into a thing
I bloody love these type of videos when they go on a top gear style road trips
Loved it as always 👍👍 Carry on chaps!!
we need more of these £500 shit box videos, there the best
I am 5 minutes in and so happy with this.....Ethan just reminds me of James May so much haha
The dynamic of this group is so enjoyable to watch
Glad the series came back!
