y’all should do top gear style episodes where all three of you buy cars and test em
This would be EVERYTHING
Yes please 😍😍
EXACTLY!! Idk why they didn't do that already
Yes please, buy 3 instead of one and mess with them!
They dont get funding like top gear
"Nothing that looks like silver" *buys* *silver* *car*
That's the equivalent of a white car in USA, anything else has a distinct markup
The banter between them, they're all a bunch of #SatireSponge 😂
Krylon it red
That's the carthrottle way.
Pete Mason rattle canning a car? xD jesus
Use the £50 left over for a years AA membership, she'll probably be needing it.
Generally these cars (more so the 1.6) received good reviews. They were certainly better-built than the Tigra.
🤣
actually if you do this, and wait about 4 weeks after the start of your membership - then if it breaksdown you can pay 1/3 or the cost to repair it
17:47 Alex: “It’s got a CD Player” Me: “PLAYA PLAYA PLAYA PLAYA PLAYA PLAYA PLAYA!!!!!”
ha ha - Buck Rogers!
Aiyyy feeder
I just freaked out and realized there are only like 4 people getting this reference… so hi!
It's alright Alex you can breathe out now, she's gone.
Yeah, Alex likes her quite a lot. And Jack.
@@vladmihai306 • Yes, big... yes.
Vlad Mihai jack has a hot girlfriend on his instagram. Don’t think any of them are interested
@@toefelix9571 Alex then
@@vladmihai306 Alex has a girlfriend too lol. He was probably just worried what her reaction would be. I would be worried too considering the issues the car has and the fact it's silver lol.
"It's got leather seats" "it's got a CD player" I love how quick that was 🤣🤣
Going through the comment section to see if anyone else had spotted that. What a tune

Lol Feeder reference
Ben Davison look up the song: Feeder - Buck Rodgers
Doesn't look like a jaguar
You have to appreciate her reaction, I've seen countless videos of entitled girls bitching about the car they got, in this case she was actually really impressed by a 250 pound car, that's the spirit!
That car doesn’t look like a 250 pound car tbh
I saw a thing on yiannimize where a girl got a mercedes-amg c43 coupe which was wrapped chrome rose gold and chrome trim to satin black and had literally no reaction other that a smile.
@@humanperson4605 You see, that's the problem with Yiannimize, most of the people on there don't care about the car, they just care about the recognition they get from driving it. It's a shame, really.
@@aily-9425 im pretty sure it was the girls 18th bday present aswell though. Practically brand new amg and an expensive wrap. She was just entitled as fuck and definitely gets whatever she wants or she would scream the house down. Where as ellie actually had a good reaction for an extremely cheap car
“do you wanna play with the hard top” nice Alex
Just the top
Wtf 🤣🤣🤣
"oh my god, it's like a spaceship"
You should make a series where people give you their budget and criterias. And you will need to find them a good car.
In Germany this is „ps Profis“
Yes, I need a new one in September, so I'd be well up for them finding me a car
100%, would watch the heck out of this series. Lol, I do this with friends all the time. We try to find the most fun car within x miles for x amount, it's a blast!
Actually not a bad idea cuz their budget challenges are my favourite :)
Me too
I just Love when non-car people get thrilled about cars :) Nice job
literally yesterday i gave a friend a ride to meet someone , he asked me what car should i tell them we in, so i said tell them we in a black Alfa.. he told the person and then said to me,, they going to think we in an Alfa Romeo now.. i said ,,err, we are. haha
Lorne I thought the exact same thing!
Whats wrong with that...i mean they also need a car lol
@@aaronlfcynwa2951 they probably mean when it's more than "just a car" to them. But need is indeed a great motivator haha
Everyone watching this just wants them to be the next top gear...
I agree, this is a great video, very well put together and good team.
I think it's already better than top gear but opinions are everywhere
It's even better since any ad spots are easy to skip and you can watch it anywhere, without any janky "watch the TV you're already paying for on something other than your TV" crap, for free. It could only be better if they could come up with skits instead of doing straight up ad reads, but it's really a small con since they're rare anyway.
these guys for top gear, and ed bolian, hoovie, and tavarish for the american version
It will be better for car enthusiasts, I guess. Honestly, I watch topgear for Geremy Clarkson's jokes and some excellent places they visit. I don't care about the cars, mostly because most of them don't sell in India or because I can't afford them. What am I doing now? I don't know.
Essex: where the meaning of 'literally' is completely lost.
And 'obviously'
Words literally change all the time
@@epender obviously
@@Jan_Iedema I was literally joking, obviously
Made me smile because she appreciated it so much
It was very wholesome
To be fair it was an absolute steal at £250 with MOT left, fine bodywork, fully working drop top and (probably) minor problems
@@Aaron19987 It just makes me happy that someone else has a peugeot and is so happy with it. As I have a 206 and get taken the piss out of for it but I don't care and it's not a convertible its just a standard 4 door but I love it and just glad she was so happy!
@@austinthompson227 my son had a 2004 206 for his first car, at the time I owned a 15 GTC, which was a fab handling car, however in the 206 (and my girls 2005 Ka), I found in my local lanes you could get as much fun out of them at 30 over needing 60 plus in the GTC. New cars are to insulating. Tho the CC will be super super slow due to the added roof weight , and that well, the normal one isn't exactly quick.
It really wasent bad for £300
Hopefully Elly wouldn't be like a modern Peugeot driver, Or atleast how top gear portrayed it.
Maniac!

20:20 possible new catch phrase when you do some car related for someone "You've been throttled!"
18:39 Wise words from a wise man "It is silver but it's also GOLD" - Ethan 2020
She's so happy "I've got a convertible".
I wish I had 0ne
I had a 207 cc once and paid 2 grand for it , total shitheap of a car, everything fell apart after 6 months, the gearbox mounting collapsed and clutch broke at same time, so i had to flog it off to we buy any car at a loss , avoid French cars
@@christineayres5339 while they do tend to fall apart, when peugeots are working they are a blast to drive
@@gabriellimberger7526 Yeah they are fun to drive i had the old 206 gti years back was very fast but one day hit a pot hole too fast and coolant started leaking out all down the road, engine instantly overheated off the scale and sadly never recovered, they are just made with such cheap materials, Renault and Citroen are the same too lol
@@christineayres5339 laughs in a decent renault laguna
Starting a nightshift , will keep this for the morning, nice one lads
Car throttle got me through mine this week! Keep going boss
Be safe and have fun lad
Got night shift rn but I couldn’t wait to watch this video
Lol watching it during my break on night shift
Well worth the wait ,👍
“Do u wanna play with the hard top” 🤣
Oooh matron!
That's what he says
Her reaction was class 😊. Love when people genuinely appreciate something 👏👏👏
I’m always shocked when I realize how easy is in GB to get dirt cheap decent cars. In Italy a car like that with issues like that would cost no less than 1200/1300€ (that’s about 1Grand)
Ikr?? I'm trying hard to find something decent at around €2k in Romania. Maybe because they're all right-hand drive..
Right! You can get a car that's driveable with minor issues for dirt cheap there!
Even in France they are about 1k , i dont get it ,
We have had numerous government scrappage schemes to get 'older' cars and cars less than certain quite recent euro standards for engines off the road, schemes that will have seen cars nicer than this scrapped, and I think that contributed to the cars left being worth no more than their scrap value. Government sells it to the population as 'for the environment' seemingly not realising that little of half of the car is actually recycled and how much energy is required to build new ones, but that's only one way they regularly show their stupidity. Apologies for getting a bit political.
The insurance prices are craaaaazyyy tho :(
4:20 I didn’t know Scotty Kilmer wrecked his Celica😂😂😂
he crashed it to get the supra down payment lol
Rumour has it, Scotty had a head on collision with the bell

@@SavagexRaccoon, Oh the Irony!
A had one of those years back - it was in Peugeots amazing blue, has a engine swap with the engine of a 206 gti, some nice mods, was lowered and hat some nice rims. The electronic was changed and some mechanics updated, so you could open and close the roof while driving (slowly). It was an amazing little car, and quite quick...
Best thing about Car Throttle and these blokes in general they also do videos for us average peeps... Who don't want or can't spend thousands on high end cars. Makes buying a preloved car more exciting and knowledgeable since we see the buying/inspection process. Cheers guys! Never change your formula!
Where’s your inner salesman?! It’s not Silver ..it’s “Gloomy Sunday Gray.”
Next Episode: We save Ellie on her drive home after overheating...
Lol
Loved the cameo by Tim Shaw at the end....''Ellie..You've just been Car Throttled'' Great video guys.
WELL DONE LADS. First video I have seen but KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Really enjoyed watching this.
19:07 "You get to look cool when you're on the side of the road because the car is over heated" =]]]]]
and even more cool when you get to work completely drenched cause the roof leaks.
She has a huge advantage.... Bloke breaks down on side of road: Silence Hot chick breaks down on side of road: every guy in a hundred mile radius appears to help!
Yeah you’re basically better new Top Gear now
Yeah no
The new Top Gear's Nepal special was pretty cool actually.
These guy should do a series like top gear on tv would be brilliant to watch
Just the new top gear
topgear on a budget
I absolutely love Ellie's excitement and happiness :D 'it's like a space ship!'
This video format is the best, love hearing peoples reaction to gettin lowballed by the car throttle crew haha
How about this: You 3 have £500 each. Let's see who buys the best car. Then turn in into profit within 24 hours.
Great idea!
Finding then selling within 24 hours is a reach. Add filming everything ontop of that and it's simply not enough time.
Genius
This 👌👌
300. 500 is too easy
It's either clogged radiator or a thermostat problem that is the problem. That was the most common problem I saw when working on them in a used car dealership. Hope it helps guys
Yeah Probably just a bad thermostat explains why the temperature went up once and then didn't go up again when they tested it
Pretty sure its the fan. Had the exact same problem in my old 206. The seller said it happened when he parked it running and when he got back to it it was overheating. Common problem on these.
@@jonas15449 how the hell would a broken fan make the temps go to 90 straight after startup? Hell, how would anything make the temp go that high, so fast?
@@danishlalahero sticking thermostat. If it sticks closed that is.
Or air in the system as these TU engines are pretty hard to bleed the coolant. Pushing in the clutch and revving it will clear the temp indication. But with a half empty bottle in the back, I'm going to go with head gasket which is a common problem with them too.
Absolutely love this channel, she seemed so pleased bless her!
Brilliant, love the challenges clips !!. Nice work guys 👍
The guys: yeah we'll try to make sure it's not a time bomb.... Ellie: aahahahahahaha!
I'm like Jack. I cringe when people try to get a fairly big discount. I always feel cheeky giving less than the asking price for something 😅
My car was listed for 3500€ and I got it for 3000. I think negociating is an important part of a sale. A car dealer will always try to get as much money out of you as possible. Also many private sellers don't know shit what they're talking about and will ask for much more than it's worth. The best deals you get are from old grandmas/grandpas cars, that sat in a garage with low milage.
Then you're overpaying. A lot of people add a bit to their asking price because someone will almost always try to lower it.
@@UnimprovedIN You're not overpaying if the price is already cheap and fair.
@@miracufelix If the ad says 'ONO' then I don't mind asking for discount. I'm talking about cheap cars that are already fairly priced.
Have you fixed it yet?
These trio videos remind me so much of Top Gear in earlier times when the lot of them didn't have that big of a budget due to the unique way the BBC is funded, keep them up, love watching them
17:49 cheeky bit of buck rogers, what a tune lol
I love these videos. As stated previously, you should all buy three cars one each for a budget of about 1K each and test them on a drive and lowest miles etc. Be awesome that
They would need a fat sponsor for that
They have bought a car for 3000£, so I don’t think it would too much of an ask
1k is "not ratty cars" region. My old mazda 6 was 980 and it was the best.
Yeah 400$ each would be interesting, maybe 500
you mean like they do on Top Gear.. Alex can be Hammond , Ethan is captain slow, and the other one is Jeremy..
RIP Ellie's inbox on IG
Her other boxes are filled regularly 😎🤣

Ethan “it’s silver......But it’s also Gold!!!” GENIUS!! 🤣🤣 probably the best budget car vid I’ve ever watched!
I have a 206 1,4i myself, and before I got it I knew nothing about fixing cars, but can I say you don't need knowledgde about fixing cars when you have a 206, because it's so easy to fix, like yesterday I had a red lamp saying STOP and an engine light blinking, I changed the spark plugs and it runs like a dream again. Keep up the good work its so amazing your content. Love from Denmark and my little 206 1,4i :D
"Ellie, You've been Throttled!"
That sounds wrong for some reason
*Nice*
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Alex: “oh good I feel so much like a scumbag I just clicked on marketplace 🤢”. 😂😂😂😂
I know! Ahahaha
"You've christened a time bomb" Priceless
Hopefully it will last her a few months for £300 what can yo expect, i paid £600 for mine and was lucky to get a year out of it, the main reason we all have to buy these cheap cars is very few of us can get the finance for a new one now , even though its the banks who got us into the mess of the last recession not exactly fair
Definately a follow up video of getting all the stuff sorted on it!
when your parents get you a can of lynx at crimbo. Ellie: OMG THANKS VERY MUCH ITS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.
Seemed genuine to me
@@Wolfsgejaule idk just tried to make a shite joke
And now we wait for the "PEUGEOT NEEDS FIX?" vids
i would like to see the repairs
Ethan sure could do the repairs. He simply summons ChrisFix.
Oh yes 😂
Had a bit of an Transmission issue last month with my 1.4 16v 206, but burst into flames must a be a part of the older models
BeardieGamingNL well I mean to be fair it looks like nobody took care of it very well
These are 100% my favourite videos to watch on KZhead.
Oooo, singing Feeder at 17.55. Buck Rogers to you too, your my hero now.
Ellie's reaction was wholesome. I can't wait to see you guys getting the CC fixed now..
Loving the Buck Rogers reference at 17:50
It's a classic track, it reminds me of GranTurismo although Feeders song in that was Sweet 16, 😂😂
@@TheBlueCorolla In Europe, Gran Turismo 3 had 7 Days In The Sun, Buck Rogers, and Just a Day.
@@mumboking I'm from Europe, Ireland to be specific, I had GT3 but can't remember it, GT 1 was the first game I bought for PS1 and I played it non stop for years, GT is just boring now
Watching you guys really make me smile.
This was one of the best episodes Alex, Ethan, and Jack have done. The chemistry between the three friends is infectious. And it's always a ton of laughs. Still have a hard time fully comprehending why here in the USA, a US $ equivent $390 car is virtually impossible to find. Suppose it has something to do with not having a national MOT. Maybe I could round up to $500.
She's adorable.. the fact it comes with cd player too.. it's a steal
I’m not even a car enthusiast but I just love this channel and the challenges 😂
Same
This was brilliant and should be a series on it's own - people messaging you their requests and budget and you see what options are available
There was a show on TV here where they did just that. I was a while ago already, maybe 10 years or so.
“Does it ride nice” she realised what she said hahahah lovely little car and a very sweet girl.
Am I the only one about 16:00 thought “I swear she said no silver” 😂
literally moments earlier were talking about how she'd be disappointed by it being silver but it was the best they could do for £300 on that day.
RWoody1995 gee thanks for the clarification 🤣 ✊🏼 💦
2:55 it eeeeezzz what it eeeeeez
IT EEZ WHAT IT EEZ
Amazing! Thanks for the great content lads!
Loved it boys, can't wait to watch the next one where Ethan trys to fix it up
Nobody: Jack: "I like micra's"
I agree with jack
Everyone talks shit, but they are hilarious little cars to drive.
He is like the who likes Dacias... :D
I love Micra's, mine has a Primera GT engine in it. that red one is for sale because it will never go through an mot 😂
@@rkan2 lol
Yes! More of these please been too long. Love the cheap car challenges 😂👍🏼
That was just plain fun, and Ellie was so thrilled she owns a convertible, with leather, and a CD!
I like how grateful and appreciative she was, I seen these cars being thrown around with 0 care. hope she will take good care of it. and fix the temperature problem.
I've liked it before watching it......
Loved the first podcast. Looking forward to Monday. Cheers!
Need more of Ellie's excitement ! Bugger it, Need more Ellie!!!
I have been dying for another one of these
She was so chuffed with that 206 and it actually suits the silver! Really pleased for her! Good buy guys
Discovered this channel yesterday. Binged so much of it since. It's more Top Gear than Fifth Gear, which is a good thing! #subscribed
Oh yeah. I discovered them through the first video of the rotary series. The backlog is just enormous, a real treat. My personal favorites are the Living With series (particularly the Bentley one)
Great channel - love the banter. Subscribed!
Big smiles, great job, now to sub to the podcast
"Christen it time bomb" Best line of the lot
Guys the girl is really nice and happy, make sure you fix her car to some tip top condition and even put some cool mods... Make it special and safe... Show the world what gentlemen really are like
you boys have got new series coming !!!! car throttled
I think she is very lucky to have such good friends like you to help her get a good car ,also how excited she was lovely video guys thank you
15:35 ten yr old me when my micro scooter bounced off my ankle
Have I got 20 mins to watch a Car Throttle limited cash challenge? HOLD YOUR HAND OUT SON!
More like "Aauld auut yer and sonn" 😅
Lmao my favorite thing Alex does
When Alex said "Whats the worse that could happen?" it instantly reminded me of Jeremy's "How hard can it be?" lol
Love these challenges. Good buy even with the faults
AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING I LOVE THESE VIDS
This guy is good
This could turn into a great series !
I AGREE. Bloody good viewing.
I am glad I had this on my recommendations!!
Another great episode guys! Keep us posted on this one and bring Elly back for future episodes!
"it is what it is" Edit: 2:55
It izz what it izz!

Oh how I hate that saying 😁

Hey Alex I got so excited when you found out you go to west kebab LOL I live so close their
Great find and loved this challenge!
This was really interesting, i would love to see more of this, buying cars for someone else 😊👍
Yeeeees love a Peugeot! And the tu5 jp5 engine is a peach, I have that in my 307 :)
Yes! Love the cheap car challenges they remind me on Top Gear back in the good old dates!
I think one of the best challenges so far
Admire your recognition of the sharks yu turned down, as i was watching i thought no chance. Really enjoyable and genuinely grateful gal😬
18:54 can you get the seat further forward Alex haha
It’s got leather seats Alex chimes in with the “it’s got a CD player!” Sick reference!
That was the most genuine happiness I've seen after a long time.. Actually I always dreamed of having one of those.. Can I get a ride..!!??
This should be on television!
