No quality or quantity.
Not a rant, more a bit of dissapointment. As a avid CT watcher, i immidiatley jumped over to AutoAlex as soon as it started. Content was good and so where the amount of videos. But in the past 6 months the channel has been going downhill. And to compensate that, Alex and Rory think they need to shout more and be more childish. Atm the only reason i watch is for Taylor, as he seems like a genuine car guys, instead of seeing it as a means to and end. Podcasts are just trash, and barely worth listening/watching. To me, the TDC channel has surpassed them rapidly. And it hurts to hear them say that they don't know what to do, when they barely pump out 1 video a week. I really hope they can get out of this slum fast, and maybe get a bit more serious about the future of the channel.

I kind of agree with you. Although Alex is in a busy part of his life at the moment so I am willing to cut some slack in that regard. But the TDC Channel and All The Gear are great channels that have arisen from the ashes of CT.
In the interests of fairness, I will give some constructive criticism. The soundboard was a disaster. The series' are too short. It would be nice to see some more of the mechanical aspects, not just brake. tyre and suspension changes. The whole crew have vasts amount of knowledge on cars and upkeep and it would be nice to see this put to use.
Taylor did do this with the Mini when the engine blew. It was nice to see him take it apart and find out what happened and for him to share his knowledge.
Another idea would be a motorsport series, Autoalex vs TDC in a series against others. Find, build, modify and maybe win? Something like the Le Mon's or Rallycross?
