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

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

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 😂😂😂

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.

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. 👍

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 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 😂

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❤️

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 😅

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

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!

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 👌

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!!!

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

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

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

Yes! Love these challenges guys! 🔥

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 ❤

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9:00 lmao that smoke

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

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! 🚀

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!👍😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Reminded me of early early Top Gear and you three have great charisma together. Top work!

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

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

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

I love how the golf looks... Brings back so many memories. Also I kind of love the green

This really is the new Top Gear Trio, I love video's like this guys well done

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

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

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

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

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

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.

So well filmed and put together it warms my heart 🤤

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

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.

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.

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…

These are the best type of car videos. Love it

Get Well Soon Jenny

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

The video quality is out of this world. On par with the big shows!

I’m enjoying this. It has that feel of a Top Gear cheap car challenge, which I always enjoyed, but they stopped doing them. And a touching shout to Jenny, too, I hope the auction goes well. But I had to laugh at that Golf. Removing the number plate to avoid paying for fuel is silly enough when your car is an unusual colour, but as someone who’s driven a VW SDI before, odds are the cashier would be able to catch you on foot

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

Well, at least Alex can't shift into R for Race mode 😂😂😂

This. This is what made me love Top Gear. Keep it up!

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

I was feeling very nostalgic watching this and then it clicked... THIS IS TOP GEAR

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

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

Yes, old Top Gear vibes ... please keep them coming, you guys are great!

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

I've actually went on a 4000km roadtrip trough Europe this summer in my 1998 Citroen Saxo for which I payed 400€. It's also only on 41k km and drives better than a lot of modern cars i've driven. The funny thing is, I'm 1,90m and was perfectly able to sleep in the car comfortably with all my stuff beside me in the car. You can also sleep pretty much everywhere, cause nobody's expecting someone to sleep in such a tiny car. I wasn't expecting how far 60hp can bring you, but I made it to an altitude of 2400m in the Austrian Alps. The way down was actually a lot scarier than the way up in second gear. It really is the perfect car for a one-man-roadtrip! Next time you buy a car think about what you really need :)
