I would like to say a big thanks to the guys at car throttle, it’s been a horrible year and this has given me a major boost. Car throttle guys are genuinely as nice as they come across on camera if not more.

A lovely experience for my husband and he’s really excited to drive the care now thank all the car throttle team you guys are great 😊 🥰

This felt like a better, more wholesome Pimp my Ride. Wishing Dave all the best, and hoping you will continue this series

[swaroopajit]

So, basically Pimp My Ride but you actually fix the car. Nice.

*Car looks immaculate.

Man, recently car throttle has been helping the general public 👍. Great job guys 👏

[kieranallen]

Such a genuine and amazing guy, even when he talks about his mental health he mentions his gf because he knows its not just about him, and he knows that and he doesn't forget it, if you're reading this all the best on your recovery!!

NC is hella underrated. As someone who has owned NAs, NBs and an NC, I can safely say the NC was my favourite. Unless you really want the raw classic car-esque experience of owning an older sports car, the NC is the one to go for. So much nicer to live with as a daily. Strikes a good balance between modern comfort whilst still feeling like a classic '5.

Me: "We could definitely use more good wholesome stuff like this on YouTube"

Jack : "I've done a real good job on Dave's rim"

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve walked past this car many a times it’s my old area. Nice one for doing this car throttle 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

It's a small thing to do something like this for someone but for Dave it clearly ment a huge thing to him.

The real heroes all along are This is your Garage, not enough places like that in existence. Been there multiple times and they're honestly the best. Even if they're a 2hr drive from me it's worth it every time.

First, they replace topgear. And now Car SOS too! Thats great :D

[wolfvontyr]

Fuck yes, lads. <3
Love the story, the reason for doing it, the process, and the results. So damn good. That David knew exactly what he wanted for the car, and you've done it for him. This is what we need more of!

One other thing I like about videos that you guys film in garages are the things in the background. That 80s Ferrari, the Lotus Elan, Jack's Saab, and Ethan's Skoda as the tow car.

Loved seeing the compassion given to another human being after a traumatic event. This is how humans should act with each other. Thank you!

[theglowingnugget]

I never used to like to watch people fix cars but I have recently bought a 205 like yours a few months ago and I was fixing bits lately and now love watching this stuff

[iNemesis__]

I've played many games with Dave, And I'm glad to see this happen to him. He's a good friend and an amazing person and truely deserves it!
