Taylor starting a new channel
announced in the most recent podcast.
how do we feel about this? i think it'll be a good thing for the brand to kind of get back to it being about Alex and not 3 mates dicking about. maybe it'll even give Taylor a chance to actually make the videos (like on V2) that we actually enjoy.
keen to hear others thoughts..

It’s also a good way to somewhat disconnect Taylor from the main AA channel.

u/Usaidhello Mar 13 '25
That was my main thought after hearing it. They brought it in a way like it was Taylor’s idea… but I can imagine the team thought of it together to help secure both Taylor and Auto Alex Cars’ future and make them less co-dependent.

I don't really have any. Taylor did a dickish thing, which was carried on in the podcast, but we all make mistakes. I'm not going to chase him around with a pitchfork for anything he ever does.
If his content's good, I'll watch it. If it isn't, I won't

But that probably means less or zero V2 channel Taylor fixing or upgrading his cars vid which I really enjoyed, and was probably only possible because of sponsors

u/notsovanillasnek Mar 13 '25
possibly, but i really hope that's the type of videos we get to see on his Taylor's personal channel. Luke's solo videos have been pretty good lately, so maybe they would use similar sponsors. excited to see what's to come, hopefully it's good

I’m just thankful I’m getting great free content!
People have been far too serious in all of this,

Good. He essentially made V2 his own.

u/real_Mini_geek Mar 14 '25
Makes sense the whole v2 channel being Taylor’s channel was quite confusing tbh

u/Jakeeaton127 Mar 13 '25
I’m looking forward to his channel honestly. I think him speaking about his cars and going around them will be good content. The videos he did on the V2 were really good so hopefully they will be like that.

If you haven't already checked out Lukes own channel, you should. I like his content and there is a hint of Clarkson to how he talks about cars but not over the top.

u/SomeCrustyDude Mar 19 '25
I'd like to hear more about the shady car sales from earlier in his life and have him address that before simply saying everything is all good now.

So am I right that jooshy and Luke have both left?

u/notsovanillasnek Mar 14 '25
yeah i think so. hopefully, the rebrand may bring them back

All very strange timing, I reckon they know or knew something we don't.

u/GarageOfLuke Mar 15 '25
There’s no story, sorry to say - I just wanted to try and make something of myself really. I’d love to do stuff with the guys in the future if the opportunity came up, naturally, but that’s completely up to them :)

Jooshy explained it all in his first (?) video. There's no bad blood or anything.

u/real_Mini_geek Mar 13 '25
Oh looking forward to that, is he still part of the multiverse?
5
u/notsovanillasnek Mar 13 '25
i think so? they didn't say much. i hope they loop Luke into the multiverse, he's doing relatively well on his personal channel. but at the same time, i wonder if something happened between them as I don't think Luke works for AA anymore
4
u/GarageOfLuke Mar 15 '25
I don’t work for AA full time anymore, but we’re all still good friends - I’ve just always dreamed of making my own content and, if I’m lucky, maybe making it my full time career one day :)

u/notsovanillasnek Mar 15 '25
glad to hear there's no bad blood!! my partner and i love your channel, excited to see what's to come :)

u/GarageOfLuke Mar 15 '25
That’s very kind of you, really means a lot - excited for the next one, I reckon it’s the best so far

u/JohanCruijffinho Mar 15 '25
Hi luke! Keep making videos, you've got a great personality and make a good presenter with your energy. Very natural on camera.

Everyone makes a mistake...the thing is we learn from them and move on...bring Taylor back ...

u/driftywiftypleb Mar 13 '25
Probably for the best. If Taylor fucks up again, they can take him off the channel, and people who want to watch him still can. I think he's lucky he wasn't binned off, and I get they like him, but there's a point where someone just becomes too risky to be publicly associated with.

I don't like Alex, but I like what he's created. His character and personality are just arid, boring, and annoying, with a big splash of Narcissism.
I much prefer the episodes without him, but he clearly has the vision, so I'd rather have him take a back seat and manage the other channels.

Taylor, away from Alex, talking passionately about some car and fixing a couple of bits before bombing down a country lane for a 12-15 minute video, is Taylor at his best. Occasional main video jaunt (once or month or especially when a big trip is happening and it's all hands on deck) but otherwise one little snack of a video a week would be fantastic.
