I assume you'd rather watch them sat in the car in silence with a stern look on their face.
Bloody youngsters have a bloody good time, grrrr
I like Alex and his channel, but in the last year they've done the same thing at least half a dozen times; go on the ring, 5-up with Misha driving whilst they whoop and holler. It was funny the first time, now every time they say "we're off to the ring" you know exactly how it's going to go.Bloody youngsters have a bloody good time, grrrr
I guess it must get the views. I watched his latest vid up to the point the got to the ring then moved to something else.

Have you watched it?Bloody youngsters have a bloody good time, grrrr
It’s all fake screaming for the camera.
If they were actually having a good time I’d be fine with it
If I was being chucked around the GP circuit by Misha in a car like that I'd probably be making some noise too.
It baffles me how miserable you'd have to be, to watch a group of lads enjoying themselves and find it annoying.

Maybe I'm wrong, I've met the AutoAlex guys a few times and they do dick around a bit, so watching them shouting in a car doesn't bother me.
Similarly confusing when people complain about Mat Armstrong having a laugh with his dad.

Someone mentioned Alex looks like one of the guys off the Undatables TV show which has just sent me down a rabbit hole.
They're not wrong.
Laughed far to much at this as I spotted that comment as well.They're not wrong.

I think for a lot of people AutoAlex (and associated channels!) remind them of the good times they used to have.
That's my take on it anyway!

It tends to be what happens when people have fun - see rollercoasters for example.

The formula must work for him but I avoid any of his ring videos as I know what will be in store.I guess it must get the views. I watched his latest vid up to the point the got to the ring then moved to something else.
Real or not with the screaming, it's all getting a bit repetitive for me. I'm sure they've got bigger plans that take longer so this is sort of filler content until then. The full video of them all doing the road trip down to the Nurburgring with Ethan & jack, and TDC will probably be better to be fair as well. This was probably something extra they were able to get in.

Considering Jack in the launch video said they will be avoiding trips to the ring or Scotland, odd to say the least that the first video is a trip to the ring.I can see people getting bored really quickly if you end up with three videos across the channels covering the same trip.

They did say in a recent podcast they're wanting each channel to be independent, but will still have the occasional crossover and one or two big collaborations a year.

I am just enjoying all the car related content while I can. It was only a few year ago when the most we could hope for was 12 episodes of Top Gear per year. Between the big YouTubers we are getting almost that amount per week.
I don’t suspect it will last long so enjoy it while you can.

Just watched the latest AutoAlex v2. For me, Taylor’s really the star of the lot.
100%. Was a good video. That car wore its 206000 miles very well.
I do wonder if they just stick the cheapest bushes, shocks, springs, discs and pads on it that they can buy in order to maximise profit or if he'll do it justice and fit OEM parts.
Can't be much profit in the latter on a 200k, if any.
