BOTB is a scam. A spot the ball competition where they don't actually use the actual position of the actual ball they removed as a guide to who got closest.
jack i just want the saab dude.....
33:30 Ethan, I’m currently doing an advanced motor course at college, this EV thing is going to really disrupt the work jobs and how professional you can become, gone are the high paid jobs, instead I am going to hope for a good used market career and maybe performance brands, motorsport or joining the automotive journalism like you four.regardless I’m looking forward to it!
Just wait till they bring out a electrified MX-5! That’s the one car I want
Another banger guys first rate .
The best bit of this is Jacks evil smile whilst Ethan remains unaware of the garlic cake! hahaha
Never touching a bike ever after that story.
i agree on jack when it comes to being a petrol head
bmw 330e!!!
Forget the podcast - Just Jacks Jokes from now on...
Nice yawn at 1:00:48 Jack 😂
That’s not in a zr it’s a zt all day long.
Well CBT does stand for c**k and ball torcher
The bloke with the fluffy steering wheel cover gives MG a bad reputation, but as a MG owner I still burst out laughing 😂 keep up with the good content Car Throttle 👍
i see no dashboard
You guys have developed sooo much, really filling that JC,RH and JM vacuum. keep it up, dont stop podding its poggers
cheap motorbike challenge
I think you should frame that fan with Colin
in my country police hates everything that isnt stock. you cant supercharge your car but granny can go to dodge dealership and get a hellcat
Are petrol motorcycle's being banned or what ?
No they are not being banned.
I really want a motocompo
You GuYs Are Awsome Great Year. This Is Michael M
In Australia you get 3 points for speeding but 5 points if you’re caught on your phone and they have cameras on the motorways using AI to spot people using phones whilst driving.
Gareth talking about that emergency braking reminded me of something that happened to my dad a few weeks ago. He was driving a rented Peugeot on the Autobahn, outside lane of course, and someone pulled out right in front of him. The Peugeot initiated an automatic emergency braking maneuver which he could not override (maybe there is a way, but with the Peugeot being a rental he was obviously unfamiliar with such car-specific behaviour), so he came to a dead stop on the outside lane of the german Autobahn. Luckily the car behind him seemed to be equipped with an automatic emergency braking system as well and thus was able to avoid a crash, but still, this was a bloody dangerous situation that could have ended in a very bad accident.
39:46 An EV isn’t a car. It’s a vehicle, - but not a car. For it to be a car, according to the Oxford dictionary, it needs to have an engine. An “engine” is defined by NASA as a device that creates its own energy, and turns it into movement. Like a rocket, a jet engine, or an ICE. A “motor” on the other hand, is defined by NASA, as a device that takes existing energy, and turns it into movement. Like an electric motor...
i watch while trading items in the video game counterstrike global offensive :) if it makes you happy ive made around 28$ while watching your podcasts
i listen to this while playing video games.
If you need to mod an electric car, just strip down your washing machine. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i refuse to buy a bike.....Ariel Atom eeworld.info/chat/l6tkjICirqXLrdA/video

What’s the sort of triangular thing with a hole always sitting on the desk?
I had an RX8 , bought it with a dead engine and put a nearly new engine from a wrecked car . Brilliant engines but notoriously fragile, expensive to rebuild and hard to maintain , there's a car throttle video where Alex got the engine rebuilt on one they bought.
@AC2505 just had to look up how these engines work. That’s nuts, I’ve never seen anything like that!
It's the rotor from an mazda RX 8 rotary engine . Equivalent to the piston in a normal engine.
Bike story was class.. I was riding my yz250 and the back wheel hit a hole in the track we were riding bucked me off the bike and I slamed into the ground with my head hitting a rock thank god I had my helmet on was knocked out for 25 minutes woke up and after another 10 minutes rode the bike home and continued to ride for years after it... dont be scared lads
Ambulance drivers? You mean paramedics fs! Highly trained medical clinicians and you refer to them by the fact that they drive a van as part of their duties... and of course are highly and advanced trained in that aspect too. no need for a 2 bit race enthusiast thanks!
Ambulance CREW vs police and fire. Top Gear did it already. We WON!
Hi, paramedic here.. We are professional drivers Alex.
I placed on order for a t shirt over a week ago from car throttle s shop . still not posted after a week , despite emails automated answer , your e mails very important to us . bullshit they seem more interested in portraying them selves as poor mans top gear Ive asked for a refund avoid the shop

If you're in public there's a reasonable expectation to be filmed, especially with CCTV and dash cams etc. Release the footage and do it
Hows that £150 e39 doing, id like to see it again sometime soon

Get brewer back on! I always feel like he's about to be accidentally sexist or homophobic but the anticipation is awesome.
Where is the royal mail lorry mention?
Electric cars are still bad for the environment because of the mines for lithium and power plants where the electricity comes for burn fossil fuels. so until totally renewable energy is a thing the environment will still suffer.
Hi guys, I do Automotive Engineering at uni and they are beginning to prepare us more for the electrification of the industry. I have a number of more electrically oriented modules and in particular ones that focus on hybridisation. Once you can integrate an electric motor with the I.C.E engine, making the whole car electric isn't that much more difficult. Also Formula Student (which is a single seater racing competition held annually between universities) has an electric division which is constantly growing.
Don’t fear the Electrics! I’ve had one for a while and it’s addictive. I love the speed and the silence. It’s slick. My S2000 still has the ability to put a grin on my face but I find myself looking forward to driving the i3 more and more.
Why does nobody call a more modern car nut a "motor head"?
As far as I know, electric cars are at a disadvantage in cold environments. And finding parts for tesla is said to be a nightmare
So you've talked about the EV laws in 2030 and you've talked about bikes. Do you think that bikes will also have to be electric and what do you think about them?
first time listening amazing stories and content
Smart motorways are bullshit Just another way to make money when I first heard of them I thought it might of been inductive charging for EV car what would make sense but no just loads of cameras and more narrow lanes
The smart moter way on the m25 between junction 20 and 15 sometimes I find that the signs are put on for no reason sometimes, there will be normal flowing traffic of the signs drop to 60 or 50 coisedtaly next to the where the speed cameras are the after the camera they are turned off again so I do think it is bit of a money grab too
To the guy that liked the Smart Motorways, you are deluded about how safe they are. I look after all the technology on these and its utter crap, we wont even access the sites any more due to the countless near misses we've had, some of which are human error on behalf of the staff in the control room.
Did Ethan just say "good look getting that Sylvia"?! He really is turning into a car guy.
I’m at uni (third year) doing mechanical engineering and I just completed a module called engine technology so no change just yet. However, we are making an electric car for our formula student competition 2022.
Smart motorways!!!! i still remember that clip played out on radio 2 of a family broken down on a smart motorway speaking to a 999 Responder. they were ploughed into and killed during the call! Fuck smart motorways

Love the channel and the podcast, they are always brilliant, but must say they are even better when Gareth is on, he's so good! 😂
You are a little bit clueless about electric cars, mechanics, scene etc :D Not much will change --- all electrics have : AC, heat, cooling, brakes, suspension, interior, oils etc (in differentials, brake fluid, coolant, ac refrigerant and so on).... just one -two changes -- 1 speed gearbox and no clutch (or maybe there will be ev manuals :) because they are fun -- watch Ken Block ev Fiesta on rallycross track - new problems with fun driving without gears) and just electric motor instead of ice engine (which is even more complicated really). Does electric starters or alternators not require maintenance ? Those are first things that go in modern tech cars :) Sure ev have brushless engines - but construction is very simmilar just the size is bigger. There are also complicated parts that ice car don't have -- charger, contactor, big main fuse, motor regulator etc. (also inside electric motor is quite complicated with everything). Tuning will be same as now -- suspension, brakes, looks etc. and more into software .... also better motors or battery packs from tuners ? Same as today instead of better fuel pump and better engine :) . I don't see that much change. Just less oils usage in maintenance (you dont change the diff oil that often as an engine oil ;) in Telsa -- first 1 year or 12k miles -> next every 8 years or 100k miles or something like that you have to change the diff oil, brake fluid every 2 years, coolant every 4 years :) ac when needed .... also there will be more electric nonsense to go wrong (brake vacuum electric pump, electric water pump, front louvers motors, electric ac compressor etc etc...
Dundeeeeee thts where im from lol
0:02 why does ethan's avatar look like he's just sexually satisfied himself? Ps keep up the good work boy's.
Lool
What about hydrogen cars, instead of a battery you have a tank with hydrogen and a fuel cell... Can we have some content about that?
What about the Prelude? Hope you scraped the K20 and did a H22 swap! Keep the Prelude heritage!
Gap Yarrrr Motoring
As much as I love the podcast ever since it’s started we don’t get anywhere near as much new content like we’ve seen nothing of the mr2 or the a2 and the bought them months ago
The electric car scene will continue with the mods. Look what richiebkid is doing with the teslas and his electric mini. The courses at universities and technical colleges are already in the transition. We all are waiting for a Car Throttle electric car challenge! Let me know if you want a hand around Manchester
If that bike story does not tell you all you need to know about motorbikes then I dont know what will! Taking up motorbiking in middle age is only a good idea for transplant surgeons! Ethan and Jack keep resisting!
Hi lads. I've sent in an email to carstories about an mx5 with a 320d and a e46 330i track cars, both sort of inspiration from you guys. I hope you get to read it even if you don't get chance read it out on the podcast

You wondered how you mod electric cars. Hopefully motor swaps, custom windings, upgraded batteries, controllers and software.
I saw the dumbest / most dangerous car mod ever yesterday on my way back from work. Someone had decided to fit red bulbs in their front fog lights. Anyone got anything to beat this display of idiocy?
Only guys of a certain age will get this, but...there was a lad who lost a testicle ironically on a Raleigh Chopper on our estate in the 70's...some of the older kids used to sing "Remember Your a Womble" (one-ball) at the poor lad 🤦♀️
From Merritt Island Florida. Love watching you guys and I'm a huge fan of Mike and the "hold out your hand" bit. Thanks guys.
Why can't car manufactuers get together and build a generic battery pack. All you would need to do then is to dive into a service station and within 5 minutes a new pack would be fitted. Is this too much to ask for? I'm sure if the worlds governments had the collective will this could happen.
That is an MG ZT not a ZR so that a strong choice for a classy car 🤣
From a university perspective, I have friends who run our new course on autonomous driving. They focus a lot on self driving cars and hyrbid/battery power trains. But still have the time for conventional IC theory. I am not in automotive persay, but I do work in Aerospace so there is some crossover.
Smart motorways are just wrong. IF an electronic system THINKS a vehicle isn't moving, IT DEPENDS on an alert worker watching a screen/ reading a warning,then it's THEIR opinion on whether to throw up" lane closed " signs . To many variables compaired to a hard shoulder only occupied by a non moving vehicle.
46:00 when that emal was read I was eating
Evan from Glasgow whilst cleaning my Mk1 TT Quattro Sport
In the states they call us gear heads... its probably just gonna change to motorhead... most petrol heads dont even modify their diesel golf they just slam it and put wheels on that are worth twice as much as the car
Gareth pulled more triggers than Jesse james 😂
Steering wheel covers should be illegal
Gareth zooms into the future whilst Ethan, Alex and Jack smoke blunts watching Elon musk documentaries
GARETH!!!
20:40 - D.I.Kersten... I see what you did there Ethan 😂 Thanks for the great content guys 👍🏼
Alex, stop rushing.......
Jack strikes again with quote of the day....”that’s a thick bitch isn’t it?’ Gold. Another podcast triumph 👍
Moto compo nowwwwwww pleaseeeeeeee
Where is the van?
I'm a training mechanic now in my last year and we are working on petrol, diesel, hybrid and EVs.. Have been for a couple of years now
Jack and Ethan really need to do their cbt!
Alex, get it into your head NO ONE IS ASSED ABOUT BIKES!
It looks like a few squirrels wraped around the steering wheel
Garlic cake 😂 so savage. Great podcast as always kids
Petrolhead EV: Buddy Tiny Norwegian three seater
I guess the UK car people are just going to have to adopt a common US descriptor: "Motor Head" .
At 13:22 when Gareth says that I-pace's are sitting in an airfield in Leicester, It seems to Bruntingthorpe Airfield & Proving Ground maps.app.goo.gl/aegHYjnLNqzyUuAS7 (FVR9+8G)
I think for some people cars are just a mode of transport. It’s a thing to get you from A to B and for petrol heads a car is much more. It’s more of a real relationship you’d have with e.g a dog. You genuinely love your car and want to look after it.
I think for 98% of the people EVs are perfect. It will be better for our air quality and hopefully reduce global warming. And it means the other 2% (the petrol heads) can still enjoy their cars. I’m sure there will be loads of cool mods to old cars and upgrading them to a modern petrol car.
In norway it is illegal to be on your phone even when you are stadig still on a active road.
Please do the mobile phones and driving video. I can recall honking at a lady and she dropped her phone down the side of her seat. Felt great
the john story about his balls accidents. jeremy clarkson said it on top gear news.
I always thought Alex owned Car throttle
I'm not sold on electric cars but I do like the idea of converting an existing car too electric
Couldn't care less about bikes and electric cars. This was car enthusiast channel, ain't it?
Currently in isolation for potentially having covid, waiting on test results. The only thing getting me through it is the CT podcasts, keep them up lads💯💪🏼
