That's why it was so great lol. The Car throttle guys do those quotes all the time. So his rendition (fitting in so close to his natural accent) made me do a double take. But it was definitely intentional. . Oh and yeah Dan, I was hoping they'd fit that in too... Maybe it'll be in part 2 🤣

That side panel that came off cleanly was because I took that one off and replaced it when I owned it. It didn’t come off that easily, the other panel is more along the lines of what it’s really like.

Nah, he’s right. There’s tons of money in those parts. They bought it for dirt cheap, literally no money in USD, and those parts in the US are worth tons. You could sell off each individual piece, and have enough money to buy a drivable MR2. Of course this is going to be an off-road car, but the facts still remain.

As a 2zz turbo modified Spyder owner in Australia, this was heartbreaking to watch you tearing off panels. I know the MOT and salt roads are harsh on cars over in the UK, but these cars unmodified fetch equal to around 7000 pounds here. God it looks fun Alex but it hurts to watch lol

Nearly forgot you guys kept this on your fleet and glad you have. Like the idea of making it a off road cart plus it brings so much laughter watching you lot do these challenges. Though I feel jacks anxiety while Alex rips panels off like a pissed off chimp in a safari park lol. Keep up the great work doing what you do. P.s if you going off road I would suggest now you have got the extra room in the Frunk to move the radiator further inwards and maybe at a angle to give your new radiator protection and to increase your approach angle.

American tire sizes are super complicated but I'll try and explain. The 33 actually refers to the outer diameter. So this is the dimension from two points on the outside of the wheel as far away from each other as possible. If you imagine a point somewhere on the outer "barrel" of the tire then you'd find the point furthest away from that and it will be 33 inches away. The 12.5 is a little more complicated. It's referred to as the "width". This is the dimension from one face of the tire to the other. Usually the tires have a bulge to the sidewall so it can get complicated where on that surface to measure. You have to measure close to the outside diameter measurement you took first to get the correct width. Hope that helps, I know it can get confusing. P.s. they're your units
