Alex, we all love your videos when you buy cars, but it would be cool af to see some more content of the million cars you already have! I’d like to see you set a lap time in each one!

So many new car videos, be nice to see you do more with the ones you already have tbh

I really would love to see a Dyno test before and after maintenance! See how the usual filters, plugs/coils, and fuel cleaner treatment improves power on an older V12!

Huge fan of the new channel, i have to say i miss Ethan and all with you. You all had great chemistry on the videos. Love the new content all the time that you have been creating.

I'd really love to see a "Guess the number of error codes" game on this one 😁 I'm thinking over 20

Love that you're reinvesting a good proportion of your new revenue into the channel and cranking loads of videos out. I feel car throttle didn't want to do that.

That was my mates old car a few years back. He bought it to run for a laugh for a while. We took it to Goodwood FOS and hammered it all weekend on the run down and run back up north. A beast S600 PRC. Have fond memories of racing an A8L on the A27 in it

Really looking forward to seeing more on this car - I occasionally have moments of weakness when I think about just getting an older car with a honking great engine. It'll be worth having a poke about to see why the passenger side doors don't line up, hopefully the hinge brackets just need adjusting and it's not a tweaked frame!

Remember its the same v12 as in the pagani zonda, so do the famous f1 system and make it sound like the pagani. Not just straight pipe.

For someone that hates personalised plates you sure do have a fair few of them 😅

The seats are dynamic multi contour - they massage (pulse) and you can adjust the bolsters from the D Pad looking Controller on the front of the sears 😊

Great purchase mate, and actually surprised that most of the things work in it. Not surprised by the air suspension, that can be refurbished for not a lot. Prop shaft wouldn't be expensive either buuuut when you get to fixing the engine bits and bobs thats when your going to splash out as most of the sensors for example are stupidly expensive. I've seen these not really straight piped but fitter with sport exhausts and they sound like old V12 F1 cars which is amazing, hope you can achieve that!

Glad you are finally are updating us on the other cars but I'd like to see something actually done with them. It's sorta seems like you are just blowing money to buy as many cars as you can at this point. Let's see something done with all of these cars, flip them, go to a fancier cars etc? I don't know, just seems every Alex video is just buying another car at this point. Ready to see something done with them. More road trips would be epic. Many of us are from America and have never seen or been to places like Norway, Sweden, and other places in Europe. Great content with these cheap cars!! Just some ideas. Oh well, just my 2 cents.

Alex's new years resolution finish a project 🤣

Hello Alex, I really like the content you're posting here, more from the one in car throttle I might say . I have a suggestion, why don't you drive the cars you already have in a track and do some challenges, that would be fun. Or, my favourite, some garage time fixing everything that's wrong and getting your hands greasy. Cheers man

I suggest fixing some of the issues and that oil/petrol issue, and maybe consider wrapping/painting it to go with the wheels! I loved watching this video.

Hoovies Garage bought a car like this 5 years ago. That video on his channel is his most watched at the moment. It was when I discovered Hoovie and car you tube in general!! It has led to many great moments of entertainment from you as well, Alex!

RIP KEN BLOCK , ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS

I just bought a w210 E series, 1996. Can confirm, even if you get a deal, plan on an extra 2k-3k in baseline repairs and maintenance! But worth it. They don't make cars like these anymore and that's a damn shame!

Alex, with all due respect, love and admiration... you Sir are an absolute madman.

Another great video. Although I do wish, when doing the 'living with...' series, that you would cover tax and maybe even insurance groups too. It's all good and well picking up old bangers with fun engines but when it's £600/yr to tax, the costs quickly rack up. And these costs are NEVER discussed 😢. It was a highlight of your picks in the xtrail/jimny video - these two are some of the cheapest 4x4s to tax with the jimny having a tiny engine and the xtrail being predominantly fwd (most off roaders or rwd biased). Missed opportunity!

Alex thanks for this Series. I am seriously looking at getting one of these W220 S600s too. It seems you have the ABC hydraulic suspension and if it only sags after a few days it is no reason for concern really. Excited to see a review of this and how efficient you can get it if you really want to. I drove my 2000 CL 500 with the M113 V8 with 30 MPG!

I always forget cooled front seats _weren’t_ standard in certain markets…like the UK. It’s hard to say an S600 is “low” spec but … this is essentially what a standard equipment S600 was in the UK with the addition of keyless go. Still a *very* lovely car, don’t get me wrong! I see it has tray tables, that is nice.

You need to make equal length headers for the V12, costly but the sound is worth it!

Anyone else notice the brilliant videography/editing in each video? Top notch stuff.

Great garage update in this. That’s how it should be done. Where others string out 30 minutes whilst telling us nothing, we know everything within a minute🎉

I drove my 2001 W220 S600 for a good 3-4 years before everything started falling to bits, and ultimately scrapping it (even with only 65,000 miles!). The rust is absolutely awful on the early W220 models, another invasion of Kuwait is needed for the fuel efficiency, and any mechanical work completed outside of what you can do at home requires a second mortgage (mainly suspension)! However, the shear power and torque of the thing, coupled with the ride is wonderful - it's basically like driving a mattress down the road. Not to mention the cool internal features. I look forward to hearing the awesome V12 with a new exhaust, something I really wanted to do on mine!

Great car, love it! That era of S-class has aged well styling wise. I think the dark wheels give it a cool, thuggish vibe, hinting at the evil power beneath, but maybe paint them a very dark metallic grey to look a bit classier. I've owned an old Merc,, guaranteed once this one is fixed, you will enjoy driving it.

"A Cheap Mercedes is an Expensive Mercedes". Looking forward to all of your videos for this V12.

cant beat a skodia fabia. im looking at those as my first car. witch i have my second lesson next week. first lesson went superb

Good find. The fact that all electronics seems to be working is amazing. Keep it

Love the videos, after seeing how good miles is I brought a 64 plate Octavia on 97000 miles and it be rude not to get a Carly odm scanner to make sure Olivia is running tip top looking forward to the next vid 😁

Alex when I saw what you bought I nearly died laughing, I've been contemplating getting one of these myself but hell that would be a bottomless pit of repairs😂😂😂

OMG you absolute nutter! i`m going more fault codes than you can count? bearings shot all round incl prop shaft? and portable fuel station needed! other than that......me feels a drag race coming up? brings a smile every vid you do keep em coming ...cheers!

I would like to see everything that's been mentioned in the comments section and a mechanical inspection... Great video 👍

I think you should make it a VIP type build. Would be so cool

DJ Another one in the house! We love the content ngl, but please do up some of the ones you have 😂 I want to see the VRS and the Volvo personally!

Looking forward to seeing what you'll be doing with this, oh and also your other cars.... eventually 😉

I kinda miss my old 2005 S-Class when seeing this, but when he starts listing the usual problems they tend to get later on - I'm glad I sold it at a top 😅

very nice, but some content related to working on cars instead of buying them would be even nicer.

Please start showing us some more work on the cars you already have. I want to see continued work rather than a new project every video

I believe the suspension on these is the ABC system which is hydraulic and the sag is due to fluid flowing back past the front valve block.

Really looking forward to hearing this with straight pipes, and top speed run.

I would be so invested if you went around Western Europe with this car, and trying all the country's chocolate milk. As an also avid, chocolate drinker, I would feel like you would share the same passion and would compare them all! Nothing like chocolate with a V12 engine.

So glad for this channel. Way more enjoy this than CT now! Keep it up Alex

Great video alex, would love to see you do a grand tour with one of these to the famous chippy in Anstruther, Scotland. Would be a good way to see how the mpg is & if it can make it

The jagg wouldn’t have worked with side pipes but the merc would be sick with them

I read that you can get a custom manifold and make these sound like an F1 car. Do it!

Once you get it all sorted out you should do a London to Glasgow run and see what it is really like on fuel and if your taking off the limiter you should go on the Autobahn and see if it will do 178mph

The seats are actually heated and cooled. It will show a blue or red led, blue being cold and red is well, you fill it in ;)

Well done and loving the content. You are single handedly keeping the scrap trade alive........ would love to see this Mad Maxed and rallied

You guys should do what effspot did and get an exhaust fitted that makes it sound like an F1 car (but for a lot less than $12,000 though lol).

Would be nice to see you actually do some work on these cars yourself alongside Gareth, we miss him 😢, nice restoration would be nice now rather than destroying every car you own 😂

The exhaust manifolds are were your gunna get that f1 sound equal length is where it comes from see if you can have ago at that?

Love this channel more and more. Keep it up guys!

This is such a gem. Love the sound of these things 🤟

The quick update on the builds is a great addition to the video, i wish more car channels did the same thing. Great job on the channel Alex, it gets better and better with each video 👍🏻

Definitely do a lap round the 'Ring with that thing! Before and after fixes perhaps. But first...what would Taylor say about that!?

The M120 and M137 sound like the proper F1 cars when straight piped properly. Aim for that with this and you won't go wrong 😉

Alex, 16 minutes of video where 1/5 is an add, we need so much more content from you 🙈

Alex, Go to a official Mercedes dealership for an appraisal to fix all the problems and do a health check. Would be cool to see I think

My Father has one of these, drove it from Middlesbrough (up north) to Stansted airport (work) and back everyday, great car remember it well, ultimately failed on air suspension modules, sensors and the rest. Had around 350k on the clock by the end

We need some big trips in the fleet. S600 to Sicily and back or somewhere equally ridiculous would be an epic watch

Definitely want to see an MPG challenge 🤣 but top speed run etc will be fun

How do the headlights on such a luxury car get so buggered so quickly? My w211 are still like new, the s class lights of this era are, invariably, fogged.

Full maintenance - plugs, intake manifold gasket, pcv, etc...then new airbox, exhaust, intercooler pump, ECU/TCU tune :D

I used to drive an E55 AMG and she flew!! It was always fun pulling up next to boy racers in their Saxos or Clios who seemed to think they could get the burn on me at the lights!!!!

Always wondered how good are these old luxury cars, guess I'm gonna find out thanks to you Alex

Ive just yesterday saw this car here in Croatia on the way to the south of the country. Nice to see it going strong.

How about a lpg conversion with lap times,dyno and full tank distance before and after

Get the lowering links in it, cheap and easy to do for air ride 😊

Love your videos since years! If you guys when speak about pound feet of torque and miles per hour can show newton meters and kilometers per hour respectively, would be great! Cheers from Bulgaria

Could you track it I wonder, firm up the suspension etc, see how it does after 2/5/10 laps, see what disasters occur (boil brake fluid, warp brake discs, any small fires start in the engine bay).

Oh boy, these early W220s with the NA V12 are a handful of the Maintenon side 😂 The tray tables is a very rare option though. My father ordered his with them and when he got rid of the car was told it was one of the rarest options.

For loudness straight pipe and decat. Delimiter? excellent!!

This car will be very interesting! I remember hearing somewhere that the "most expensive Mercedes is a cheap Mercedes". I think a youtuber called 'Number 27' bought the 5L V8 version for 900 quid and when he took it to the main dealer it came to 5 grand odd to fix, which he said was amazing.

Some nice wheels, a good wash and a polish (including the headlights) and it'll definitely look baller!

I bought a BMW 750i a few years back for £1400. Fantastic car. Same shape as the James Bond one

Hey Alex! Love your vids 🤩 Can you please use metric measurments on torque and speed in the subtitles? Just like Doug Demuro 😂 Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴⭐️

Since you are asking for advice on what to do with it. May I suggest a roll cage and a rally stage or 2

Happy New Year Alex. Any news on your Jag Project. I am rooting for you to smash DriveTribe

Hi Alex, really like to see you demist the headlights, simples.....

I you are already talking about exhaust and sound then there is only one thing that is a MUST - headers!

And I Love Yours, Taylor’s and Rory’s work Bro, keep up the Great work up and coming for 2023!🙌🏿🙏🏿👏🏿⭐️🌟💫✨❤️

Make a track hawk from it. Stiff suspention, sporty drivers seat, crazy exhaust. Fookin beast.

Love from Canada!!! Love your videos! Keep up the great work!

I want to see you do a basic service. Oil filter Air filter Plugs Taylor can be present. But is sat on a tennis umpire chair with support provided only as verbal instructions. Then at some point EQUAL LENGTH HEADERS...

Skiing in La clusaz , good MPG challenge and to test a V12 in the snow! But take Taylor !

The vibration is from the transmision mount! Don't mess whit berings or other ruber parts.

Man I'm excited for where this channel goes in 2023

Omg PART TWOO enjoyed this video so much wanna see how how this project goes ☀️🥳

Nice winterbeater man, keep up the good work!

My thesis on this car is mpg challenge. 15-22.5 mpg at the moment. Id try lpg and still modify , strip out bits, use help from fans and pros . But for 3000 grand price tag

Happy new year🥳 Awsome car and video😎🔥👌

Wide body kit, bolt on arches are needed

Really excited to see more on this as every now and then I consider going out and buying a cheap old luxury car

When you get a new exhaust made, please add an "X pipe/ cross pipe", try and see if you can get some of those F1 V12 noises, won't get them if you don't cross the flows coming from each bank of the engine.

Alex I’ve always wanted to take one of those older Mercedes and throw an apple car play system in with new speakers and see what it’s like to live with. Throw a new exhaust on it, limiter off, and possibly an intake and road trip it to the autobahn!

I'm still waiting for the respray update video 🤣come on man I need to no how it looked 🤣👍
