Needs a better shtick than that to stand out.
I doubt anyone else will test the off-road capabilities of the Sterrato as well as that though!

I've never really gelled with him or his content personally, he comes across very awkward on camera

This is Mark

I shouldn’t laugh at the misuse of a very expensive car but that is hilarious. biggrinbiggrinbiggrin
Whistlin Diesel does it infinity better and he brings some humour and charisma to the table too.

The car was fine after the jump, wasn't it? He wasn't trying to break it.

Yep. He popped up on a Chris Slix video recently and I instantly turned it off. I have no interest in seeing a rich bloke thrash expensive cars to shreds. I'm sure some love it though!

Really bet it wasn't from the angle it hit that ramp, the angle it landed and how much energy was involved.

That channel is a proper hidden gem. His in car and trackside films are great.

https://www.youtube.com/@19Bozzy92/videos This guy does a lot of trackside and in car footage of classic test days

https://www.youtube.com/@HillClimbMonsters/videos This is similar but hillclimb oriented

Well count me in to mostly the contrary. I loved the Auto Alex video and yes, I do believe it is not scripted... however I do wonder if they setup the breakdowns somehow by leaving a job unfinished etc.

I also seem in the minority that I like Taylor I find him very funny compared to Alex.

I do agree on Mark M being included... literally no point in him being there and he is so awkward for some reason.

Excited to see what happens at the ring.

I think you're right. I'm unsure anyone thinks Alex is funny other than Alex.

Worth remembering that Alex has ADHD which might explain why he is like he is at times.

That's not a real thing it's just a personality trait and E numbers.

The Car Throttle review of the RR Spectre is pretty good.

RR is in the best position of any brand for the conversion to BEV. Surprised they haven't stuck a 200+kwh battery in it so people can't even level range anxiety at it.

They said the 100kwh battery it has weighs 1500kg, with 200kwh it would be a 4.5 tonne car!

SOL must be getting a nice payday from from the Qataris. Looks like he's having a ball!

Not car-related, other than it’s by Moog from Mighty Car Mods, but this appeared in my list of recommendations, and it’s a really good watch.

I don't think that's right. Thought they said 700kg.

There are already cars with 200kwh batteries (new hummer, Escalade etc and the batteries don't weigh over 2t.

The battery pack in the e-tron (original) was about 800kg and something like 80+kwh usable capacity - 1.5tonnes sounds off
