In this video, Jack and Ethan are take on an exciting automotive challenge where we have to purchase a cheap car and road trip it as far as it costs us in only 24 hours. If we end up in a £1000 BMW, we have to drive it 1000 miles in only 24 hours. We'll go all across the country to get the mileage done including places like the Brecon Beacons Nation Park, and even Wrexham football club. Can we complete the challenge in the time allotted?

To think in old top gear challenges they could get an old porsche for under £1500 and now a 25 year old clio is £800!

@bindefuni5407 Год назад

@thwalesproductions Год назад

Gotta think of inflation as well, £1500 back then would probably be nearly 3k or over it today

I wish that in the summer you go to south France, Spain or something like that, it would be much more interesting than going around the UK for the 10th time. A different language, different road rules, bigger risks and trouble if a car breaks down, but also a beach as a reward for the finish line.

@gofres Год назад

I've owned one of those Clio's, exactly the same spec and year. Worst car ever! It had very very comprehensive history but still needed regular fixing. I bought it for £600, spent about £500 in repairs (all work done myself) then ditched it a year later. I got a Honda Accord after that for the same price, same age and mileage. What a difference! Like going from a bicycle to a limo 😂 I kept that for 4 years fault free besides replacing the rear exhaust and she still drive like new, sold it to a friend for £300 who drove it for 3 years before the power steering failed.

What's funny is because you put wheels on with a slightly larger radius that means the speedo was reading less meaning you had to do more miles.

You literally drove through the only part of Wales I've walked. Awesome to see it's still there. Got to love pre-1995 French cars though. 5, Clio, Twingo, 9, 11, 19, 21, 25, it was an awesome time for French 'light footed' comfort. And yes, they eat wheelbearings and c-joints. Would have definitely gone B-roads with that though. Love the Clio! By far one of the Car Throttle cars I liked best so far. Good adventure too!

@dingodash4096 Год назад

I started learning to drive with a MK1 PH3 Clio from '98 15 years ago and back in 2020 bought one myself from '96. I know for a fact that MK1 used Clios have this issue where if the owner didn't maintain brakes properly and abuse them, drumbrakes would hum like that, break down and eventually seize the rear wheel. On these cars the braking power was "enough" but scarse braking, especially when 2nd or 3rd hand, always means replacing pads (duh!) but also drums and cylinders because nobody probably had done it in almost 25 years. Once done, the whole braking system should not give on you unless it's the master cylinder or (naturally) worn pads. All pieces are still available and cheap anyway.

@markplenty2631 Год назад

@@MrManBuzz I’ve had my fair share of old classic French sheds and a classic it may be but to not even do 800 miles before falling apart is pre engineered into the cars to make more money.. the Peugeot 405 was rock solid, I had one of those and it went on forever. The french made cars so good at one point that they would hardly ever go wrong, but that isn’t good business so after the mid 90’s they decided to engineer bad cars to make people buy more.
