In this episode of the Talkin’ Shop Podcast we sit down with YouTuber Alex Kersten (AutoAlex) — the man who walked away from the hugely successful Car Throttle to build his own automotive empire. Alex opens up about the pressure of going solo, what it was like to launch AutoAlex Cars and hit over 300,000 subscribers in just three weeks, and how he almost gave it all up before it even began. He talks candidly about the backlash from fans when he bought a “too nice” car (yep- the Porsche Macan story!), why he sold it, and how he’s learned from his mistakes.We also chat about restoring forgotten classics, dream road trips, the magic of old-school motoring, and how he and his team are shaping the next generation of British car shows. This one’s packed with laughs, honesty, nostalgia and some home truths about YouTube life, the car scene, and what success really means.
