£500 Road Trip Challenge 

This is the best Top Gear episode since Jeremy, May, and Hamster left.

The cameraman chiming in and giving impartial comments is an excellent addition! I always loved the relationships the Top Gear crew had with their producers.

I have a sneaking suspicion that taking three random English blokes and putting them in a couple of beaters never will fail to make the greatest TV.

The way he ripped that door paneling off had me dead 😂😂😂

This feels like a proper top gear challenge, so nostalgic.

Yes chaps, this is what we want: no rich fella telling us about his car collection, or some car industry types waffling away. Just a straight sh*t box challenge. Its been done a million times before but somehow it never gets boring. 👍

I paused after seeing the scenery and now a week later I'm in Inverness ready to do the NC500 tomorrow, now is the correct time to finish watching 😂

"Don't ever need to pay for fuel" Had me laughing hard! Love these mini series! Keep making this content!!!

This is so Top gear…. James would buy a Citroen, focus for hammond and clarkson in golf.

That’s a lovely thing to do for Jenny,guys.Sure we all send our love and wish her well❤️

The bit where he talked about the deceased owner and doing things in the car it probably hasn't done does have a weight of emotion to it that I love...

I absolutely love the Scottish Highlands. My late wife and I spent our honeymoon in England and Scotland, and this video brings back fond memories. We had 20 great years.

When Alex just ripped the fake wood and Ethan is like WHAT ARE YOU DOING 😂😂😂

This is the video we've all been waiting for.

I love this so much. It’s been a long time since a RU-vid video has made me feel so happy. Gives me hope for what post lockdown travel to the beautiful UK would look like ❤️❤️❤️

When you order Top Gear from Wish

Prayers for Jenny…kudos to ct trio for the heartwarming gesture…

This is such Jeremy, May and Hammond vibes. Executed to perfection! We definitely need more.

For some reason - Ethan kicking 7 shades of s**t out of the fence panel killed me 🤣 I’m also fairly certain he could have got some wiper blades in B&M’s

22:26 and that is my favourite part. Just this "That´s fair, that would be rude" and then the disbelieve of it actually fitting.

Best low-budget top gear anyone could ever wish for 😂👌🏻

Ethan kicking that fence panel in is true TG spirit. 10/10, would LOL again.

5:15 what a legens casually kicking the bumper...

This is proper well put together! Amazing job! Really like this content, keep it up 👍🏻

10:40 “what a convoy though, three absolute weapons” 😂

I'd love to see the £500 challenge on a drive to Spain through France.

First time watching this channel. Pure 00's telly great charisma between the three of you. Will definetly be binging more of the content you have.

Great show boys! Takes me back to the days when Top Gear was great and the reason I fell in love with driving! If the BBC aren't knocking on your doors yet, they soon will! All the best to Jenny too - get well soon ❤

I just wanna take a moment to appreciate what Ethan has turned into since a couple of years ago. He adds so much to the dynamic of this trio!

Yes boys! This is the Top Gear replacement we all knew was coming but didn't know we deserved 💙

I was wondering,”why a fence panel”?.but after watching a bit longer it all made sense .a great effort lads and an extremely nice gesture for jenny.well done 👌

🔥🔥🔥🔥 this is proper television material. Great content guys!!! 👏👏👏

So beautiful that you’d acknowledge Jenny, hope she gets through alright

If I’m remembering the reg correctly, I’m about 95% sure the Focus belonged to one of my teachers from primary school…good to see it’s been ‘well loved’ over the years 😅

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue doing this! I love top gear and this is exactly their theme “3 blokes cocking about” which is honestly the best shit ever. Love!

What I really like about this is that it's so original. I've definitely never seen anything like this on TV or the internet before. It's not trying to replicate any other show in any way.

Why does this give me such old Top Gear vibes? It's brilliant, I can't wait for the next episodes. Well done guys, absolutely brilliant so far!!!

You’ve convinced me. You guys are the new Top Gear. This video gave me the same feeling I used to get watching our original trio taking their journeys.

9:00 lmao that smoke

Awesome!!! Just what was needed!! Top job boys👊

Pininpatina was such a clever car guy dad joke. Hats of to Ethan.

Yes! Love these challenges guys! 🔥

I can't stress enough on how amazing this challenge was. We need more!

This is the beginning of an amazing story! Funny to see those cars in mint condition now compared to the finish of NC500 and SC500

Just discovered this channel, reminds me of top gear before they just got stupid and started blowing everything up. Cheered me up on a gloomy day. Keep making it.

I love the long form episodes like these. They're like a mini top gear special but much more relatable.

Fantastic lads! Have liked & subscribed! Laughed my arse off at the windscreen wiper bits & well done pronouncing Corrieshalloch! Top job laddie! Away to watch the next episode now!👍😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

just watched the 2nd part and came back here. both vids combined are quite simply the best thing ive ever seen on this channel (Might be a bit biased being from Inverness, even though i live in zummerzet.) and Jenny if you're reading the comments on this vid, i wish you a speedy recovery and i'm sending you all the love and positive vibes in the world.

I love that the first shot of Alex driving the dieself golf and there's a grey smoke screen coming out the back

28:15 Jenny Hautmann is an incredible photographer and an even more amazing human being. I wish her a full and speedy recovery! 🚀

Well done lads! More of this please!! 😊👏

Love these very Top Gear but great video guys very natural funny moments 🤣 Thumbs Up Subbed up!

“This is real wood” “No it’s not” “Yes it is” Proceeds to pull it straight off and turn it around “see” 🤣🤣🤣

I must say, CT has officially replaced and surpassed Top Gear for me at this point - thank you so much for this wonderful channel! ❤️

Second I heard you say “Top Tip”, I just instinctively hit like. This has that energy I’ve missed from Top Gear.

These are the best type of car videos. Love it

You three Are actually the new top gear trio. With Jack being the leader of the group😁

27:57 i love how the music beat matched perfectly to him kicking the fence

Great video guys. Some genuine lol moments. TV companies must be bricking it. The production values are nothing short of the the same standard.

Spot on Top Gear edits. I love it! Keep it up!

I missed a lot of CarThrottle over the summer but now that I’m burrowing back down into my Den for the winter, RU-vid’s back on the menu. Can I just say the improvement in production values is so massive that RU-vid no longer deserves you. Time to hit up Netflix for a series.

As a Focus owner, Ethan picked the best car... that's my unbiased opinion... I swear

Excellent job filming this guys!

how have i never heard of you guys with the many years of car videos watched on youtube lol but i am very happy i have found you

“ _they bought me the millennium edition so they should fork out for tax as well_ ” ethan, 2021

Ethan, you missed a trick. You should have swapped the wiper blades over from Alex's car, thus giving him the annoyance!

So well filmed and put together it warms my heart 🤤

Love this video, awsome content

I knew it after all the Instagram teasers, this is going to be a great one

The Golf looks pretty good to be honest, even the color looks pretty decent on it

Obviously this video is reminiscent of the old top gear days and you absolutely nailed it! Really enjoyable.

Getting flashbacks to my first car, more or less the same as the Golf, except automatic, petrol, and called a Jetta.

the fact all these cars cost under 500 quid, and done such a journey, shows, that we need to stop going out and spending so much on brand new cars, when its clear, old cars are more then up to the job

It's been said repeatedly but its great to see how far you guys have come, living the dream that most of us petrolheads want and it has been done purely through hard work and a great on screen chemistry. Keep it up boys you deserve every success.

Thank you guys the challenge was worth everything

Really good fun watching this well done lads 🚗✨✨

Get Well Soon Jenny

The best part is that B&M sells wiper blades lol. (Where they got the fence panel and oil for the Golf)

This Video is so good, I am happy to announce that I have subscribed to this channel !

You are such fun people. Your channel is very adventurous.

This encapsulates so much of what was great about my road trips up north with an old girlfriend who's parents lived in the far north west. We'd even roll over the boarder to Scotland when we wanted to. :) I did the trips in my first cars... A Suzuki Wagon R inherited from my dad, then the Suzuki Swift (1999) I bought as my first car to myself. Then a Skoda Felicia I bought while I was up north! And that green Saxo reminds me of the similar colour AX we bought as her first car and took all the way across the country too. It's what I loved about the freedom of driving, and still do, although post Covid haven't really done too much in the way of road trips. That has to change, and I'm inspired after seeing this episode. It was those experiences of long road trips that made me fall in love with my cars I had. They were 'bangers' bought for no more than a few hundred £s but the memories I had in them will last forever. It cemented the idea that it didn't matter what I drove, I just needed 4 wheels in my life to really enjoy it. This is proper old Top Gear business right here. I've said it before, but this stuff on presumably a low budget (I recognise those walkie talkies ;) ) and certainly a fraction of what the BBC would have at their disposal is as good as anything they've produced. Absolutely golden! All the best to the young lady you mentioned, too. I hope she makes a recovery and finds quality of life again. Please keep us updated. Edit: just donated via the gofundme link.

"JOM suspension" and "nice and smooth" in the same sentence is something I never thought I'd hear

The very best of luck with this new project. For years I have dreamed about restoring a compact river cruiser but never had the time or money (guts!) to actually do it. So maybe, after watching your venture maybe it might be the inspiration I need…

This is just like a brand new cheap car challenge with clarkson, Hammond and may, love it 😍

This kind of video requires one thing... TONIGHT: A Citroen gets hot, we enjoy good Scottish weather, and Ethan plays with some wood

That focus is already the best and I've only seen less than 5 minutes, I had one and it took every battering I gave it.

We want more challenge videos like this, this bangs. 🔥

It's hard not to compare these guys to the Top Gear trio, so I've got to make a conscious effort to not compare, and in doing so I am enjoying the video - nice one, lads! Keep it up :D

Alongside old Top Gear and The grand tour, this has to be the best car show special ever!

Get well soon Jenny 15.51 Lane hogging at its best/worst 😂 How the hell did Ethan put up with those wiper blades for that long 😂 Maybe he should have used some of the wood to replace them.... It couldn't have been any worse could it? Great video boys.

1st gen Ford Focus! I have one! And it is my first car. I love it. I have the 2007 model year (North America) with Duratec 2.0L engine. Same chassis as the one in the video but with the street appearance package.

So good, watched every second

Yes, my week just got a whole lot better!!

Amazing how these three have become the Clarkson, May and Hammond trio of the current days and definitely my favourite trio of the times we're living in!

This is proper old TG vibes and I love it. You guys have the same chemistry as JC, RH and JM

I love the whole idea, but why are the 3 of you so mean to each other???

Brilliant episode, lads. Ethan looks so sorry for himself and absolutely broken at the end. Poor bloke! Can't wait for part two!

This reminds me of OG Top Gear, the golden years! Loved it from start to finish guys!

Half of Hungary has these old cars as dayli driving cars. Including me as well with a 20 years old Fabia.

Great episode. Did you make it down the other side of Applecross to the bay? Applecross Inn is a must, simply great food. Nice to see the junction on the A9 for my home town of Crieff. Your message to that young fan genuinely brought tears.
