Lotus Vs. Caterham, New Alfa Romeo Spy Shots, Oldest Car in the World For Sale

[FlatOutJoe]

turquoise is rad deal with it

[newmanthecat3940]

i think thats pretty cool, but yea his a dumbass

[brokeupwmyiphone]

Spinners were cool until the mass production of the fake ass spinners that stuck out of the rim and eventually locked up or fell off on the highway. Those light up wheels are pretty BAUSE!! if you ask me. But nobody did. So you know, whatevs...

[checkcheck662]

New Neon SRT-4?

[starksy17]

@checkcheck662 It's a New Dodge Dart =D

[pollosmusical]

is it street legal to have those loghts in the weels?

[junnie17]

Keep the jeep riding "Turquoise Jeep"

[XXXBlooddrunKXXX]

that guy is a smart ass, no dumb ass is smart enough to do that

[swagger9000]

Alfalfa Romeo!

[darkarsenal]

thats awesome xD

[newbikemike]

Light up rims are gays

[newbikemike]

Spinners are gay , light up find are gay. Grow the fuck up and get out of the ghetto !!!

[truemusic53]

I think its just cool because I havent seen it before. It would get old fast

[gborn70]

you need to make the screen for the cars larger and make you a lot smaller

[rbertran87]

I love me some kentucky fried chicken!

[skateboardkid18]

no more royal purple

[paulwhoo]

what an idiot

[bistro985]

NO!!! I'll have to disagree with you this time Derek, I think those rims are pretty SWAG if anything.

[Mastermind12358]

that is not a alfa, no triangle = no alfa.

[samthehamcam]

Those lights r sick as fuck... he should get a body it of light n a strobe in the car ahhhh

[driverfilms]

id rather drive a prius than have lights on my wheels

[wilbertcs]

I would rather have lights on my wheels instead of spinners... remember that crap, "I stop and my wheels are still rollin', BOSS!!!"

[subzerostorm]

Its kinda cool, just like tron!!!

[rorschach775]

Glowing wheels will be cool for about 4 more seconds. Spinners are still cool though.

[hiazn69]

HEY DEREK, CAN YOU PLEASE TELL YOUTUBE TO DELIVER MY SUBSCRIPTIONS TO MY SUBSCRIPTION BOX, PLEASE! YOUTUBE IS TO BUSY CHANGING THEIR LAYOUTS TO WORRY ABOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS!

[TheStig000]

Turquoise? Wear green!

[PeetPeeet]

Glowing rims are much cooler than thumping bass - the guys who drive around with windows down and stereo way up just need to be physically harmed in the groin.

[TheStig000]

@PeetPeeet They are being physically harmed in the ears. So it's kind of okay.

[ablair37]

like this for derek to wear a green shirt 

[lenboy2]

light up wheels are cool

[randomdaz]

the wheells on the bmw are cool

[LittleCarbonhahahaha]

You've got it all wrong on Lotus. Tony Fernandes and Team Lotus won the court case. The "real" Lotus cars, "Group Lotus", has nothing to do with the original Team Lotus, and is owned by Proton and the Malaysian government. Get it right!

[jjpg2000]

Sounds a lot like when Ferrari said FU to Ford, then Ford Whooped Ferrari's ass at Le Mans between 66'-69'.

[stickdiggler]

who wants to bet Jay Leno will buy the oldest car

[malikice]

guys wat's up with Chrysler rebagging Lancia's and selling them in the U.K. is it because doge sucked at building cars and lancia's got banned over here bk in the 90's

or just that chrysler does not build anything anymore

and way to go Tony

[kvt617]

Those wheels belong on something from Tron :/

[madant1977]

God, what did they do to the beautiful Giulietta? Well serves you right americans :P

[supasly75]

That ish is cool!!

[vlenhoff]

Those wheels are too distracting to mosquitoes, zombies, and common drivers.

[ammoniha]

i think it looks cool.. it would be better if he had an on/ off switch though .. so he can turn them off at times when it would be a hazard to other people driving on the road. BUT MARK MY WORDS! i bet in the future we will have LED lights on car wheels/ rims.. and not aftermarket! maybe not so bright... and maybe functional ones like blinker signals!

[dragon411320]

agree the last guy aws a dumbass, but the tech is cool..... maybe next time put them in a dodge crosshair grill or behind it so the chrome surface mirrors it out the front... be liek daytime running lights almost since its in front anyway... either way... good tech, stupid application

[CAJFB]

Dumbass!

[DrunkkenMonkey69]

i like them i think there boss!

[shadow2389]

i think it looks awesome glowing rims are cool as hell

[MRGTADUDE]

wturquois wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XenoRacing]

I remember that guy, his rotors have fluorescent powder coat, not his rims. I think it looks pimp because I love the hue and glow. Atleast it isnt a tacky mod that hurts the performance.

[kouznetsov]

u mean its freakn hot down there!  :)))

[Nastypsychoboy]

Waa hoo global warming oh yeah. Sorry but those rims look cool, im sure theres a video on youtube of rims that use LED tech but can change the image randomly, pretty cool me thinks. They dont make white m&ms? They must be roofies

[RevenantX10]

More Badass than dumbass....

[WillJPalmer]

It's 26 degrees in south England! last week it was 7 degrees :| ... It's a wtf moment but meh, the shorts are back out haha

[demander11]

Nice haircut Derek, at least it looks like you've gotten one

[corbelius6]

great job on the Lotus story Derek, and Way to go Mr. Fernandez on making a pretty cool move, hope you do well. As for the Flashy wheels? they are cool, would I have them ? no way.To Douchy but not Dumb just somebody with alot of money thats into the Hey look at me thing. probably over compensating for something . I'm just saying.

[ToyotaGT1Racer]

early tron prototype with a 7 series .

[MrSonDaOne]

Love FLD!!! Thank you for all of your effort.

[TKJWVU]

those wheels would be okay on a show car, not on a daily driver.

[isuzukid1]

First time Commenter,

I love your show your super funny .. as far as the 7 series looking cool or not I think that This will appeal to a lot of people that likes doing things to there cars that would make them stand out from every one else... look at anyone that dumps a crap load of money into there cars to make them there own. kinda the same thing, how ever this guy just put some sick LED strip lights on his car to give it a bit of personal flavor ... DOPE.

[LegoXC]

I think the wheels looked a little bit cool, I gotta admit. Maybe a tad on the douchey, "look at me" side, but definitely not dumbass-worthy.

[ls9rx7]

Cool episode! lots of info! I thought the glowing BMW wheels were a cool idea, but way too bright.

If you could barely tell they were glowing, that could look better.

[Normalaatsra]

Tony Fernandes has been buying British stuff so much, I think he's planning to do something. Taking over Britain for revenge by avenging Malaysia.

[Ganz54]

Can i get albert Einstein's brain??I don't understand anything

[mikeymike1792]

Hey Derek. I'm pretty certain Team Lotus won the court case. Besides, Danny Bahar, the 'Lotus' Renault team (The black and gold one) and the new cars are a bit gay. Sure they look good but they aren't Lotus'. One of them weighs the same as about 3 current Lotus' (Loti?)

[sature]

its the tron car! or does it look kinda like the new bmw i cars? It's the future back in the 80s when back to the future just came out. Maybe when the car door opens it'll make the whoosh sound like in star trek?

[eightbit3055]

It's people who think like you Derek D that make the cool stuff for cars illegal. Like undercarriage lights, rotating or flashing lights and so on. If people are being distracted from these lights then they shouldn't be driving. Let's look at this in another way and remove everything that distracts people, If abnormal lighting on a vehicle distracts drivers then we should also make sports cars and sexy women illegal to be near a road.

[JPLvault228]

Sure as hell beats underglow. Make it a little bit dimmer and it will be cool looking, but not something i would do to any car. new fad coming on maybe?? i can see this coming in a bunch of colors and catching in the richie rich douchebag community.

[sergh8605]

I think is cool but in a more dim seting will be less distracting, yet it will be totally BOSS status ... oh and add spinners, alto that might be an over kill. I ther way I want the rims

[sergh8605]

I think is cool but in a more dim seting will be less distracting, yet it will be totally BOSS status

[VinWeiLee27171]

dumbass? that's the smartest thing I ever seen in my life. If his BMW blow a tire at night, he doesn't need to ask his girlfriend to hold a flashlight while he's changing the tire.

[PapaShaf11]

He's not a total dumbass. It's cool in a Fast & Furious / Tokyo Drift kinda way. Hey Derek, why don't you coin a phrase for a weak dumbass / douche. P.S - You guys have convinced me to grow back my Rick Ross beard with ALL the #bawss voice overs you. LoL.

[MrSaudi098]

I love you man !!!

In non sexcual way

[votekyle3000]

At the very least it was a weak dumbass. It's kinda inventive, just strange and that doesn't quailfy in my book as being a dumbass. UNLESS it caught fire. Then you suck at wiring because you're a dumbass and deserve a seat on the FAILBOAT for destroying a 7-series.

That said, if we saw the same tech on a Kawasaki Ninja, we wouldn't question it.

[LeakyDiaper]

Those wheels are nothing. Look up Pimpstar by DUB. $15,000. Display actual still color images.

[karteileiche]

spoke POVs (google it!) are cool, but this is just dumb

[tbok75]

Derek you're forgetting that like any car trend... everyones gonna be like "wow cool" for a while. Flashy graphics, hydraulics, airbags, spinners, floaters, mile high bodies on larger than life rims and gaudy two tone paint... it all stays for a bit then gets laughed at like pee stains on your pants... or a Pontiac Aztec. So sure..."wow cool"... for now. :)

[brownmokey]

kinda cool

[nanzioboy]

I think the wheels were kind cool. Don't use them all the time though. I don't think that he should have been a dumb ass.

[GriffVirgil]

Kinda cool but

[ingaman]

About 10 years ago I would've probably wanted to do that to my S14.... I think that's more of a question geared towards different age groups lol.

[PR3LUDESI]

Thats F***in cool

[photo2010]

Wearing jeans + hot day = Shweddy Balls

[NielvanSteenderen]

LOL, I like the Beemer :)

[ivanlai0225]

different set of glowing rotors, thats all

[timeXway]

he is a dump ass but COOOL

[easy313]

i recon it looks awesome on the bmw only cause it reminds me of tron which was awesome

[DZoneTV]

I find the LED rims cool.

[reazy1515]

light up wheels are good for a show car maybe but not on everything just like some chrome 20s some people dont like to just go fast/faster i do but to each its own and people need to stop actin like they never like spinning wheels or big wings that did nothing but make their car slower

[factionxvt408x]

The bmw with lights is gaudy? How about all the lamborghinis and ferraris you guys cover? Driving one of those isn't ostentatious at all.

[LOLHICRONO]

wasnt confusing at all.

[dude1121231234]

LEDs were pretty cool looking. although it may have looked a bit wierd, its was something you weren't expecting. and it would look cool with other colors.

ps AK would take anything lol

[MuayThaiG]

Them rims are like an evolution of the old Neon-lights that D-bags would put under the 80's or 90's Honda... do they still do that?... that being said i probably would have thought those were cool when i was 15. I also expect to see them in the next Fast and the Furious movie.

[cbremer83]

I don't want an Alfa with a Dodge badge.

And the light up rims suck harder than a fluffer for a gangbang.

[mikend4spd]

technically thats illegal... the color, not the rims themselves

[josethizzlamic]

The real question should be why wouldn't you do that to the rims, besides Dub has some rims that project any image you want, even a photo. " Not that you care, but now you know".

[K0E0M0O]

2.5 MILLION ???? the BUGATTI VEYRON SUPER SPORT coast 2.5 MILLION !

[cmanclan101]

Buying a 7 series and lowering it is dumb enough. Putting douchebag wheels on it justseals the deal

[kitkat224]

wicked COOL WHEELS!!!!

[WiZdOm17]

I don't know why, but seeing those rims lit up on that white 7 series reminded me of the Audi RSQ from iRobot - even though the rims on the Audi did not spin... or light up at all. Anyhow I actually found them cool, however quite distracting. I'm with you on this one Derek; like the tech but not the full concept

[Seabass20329]

LEDs on that BMW... better than spinners at least. I kinda like it. Ridiculous and gaudy, but somehow kinda cool...

[radar3699]

LOL um, i think i BIT of light on the rims may be cool at night but not at all during the day or with that many LEDs

[Neodestro]

I liked the LED's on BMW

[SickK8GSXR600]

I liked the LED's on the R8 build by east-coast customs, you know, the tron theme one. It almost looks like it has no rims.

[jmason183]

I'd deffinately go with the Dumbass too Derek D. It is apparent that the deusch has a Tron complex. You see Trekies and "Jedi Knights" whenever there's a sci-fi convention. I mean, come on people, grow the hell up! It's just a movie, or a show, depending which subject of matter we're talking about. And Derek, stick with jeans. They're better than those grey slacks you have, eeeww!

[ranerg318]

Whoa, Dumbass, really? Come on! You're totally missing the point of these Glow in the Dark Rims. How else would this guy be able to Ghost-Ride-The-Whip at night if his rims didn't glow? More like brilliant! (okay, he's a dumbass)

[stellaspeed10]

3:51 Dumd ass and tool is diffent.

[ambee514]

That guy with the LED rims is Sofa King We Todd Did

[joshtheriddler]

I would totally rock those rims if I could afford it. Btw. Anyone see Derek in that key of awesome video on barley political? I loved the wig an mesh shirt. Lulz

[pumakid]

Lol bmw euro trash

Kp

[yummy1234098]

i think those rims are awesome.

[TheMassFail]

I bet you the guy in the BMW was Persian :)

[jimsoccer8]

looks like tron

[mmartion07]

why are we getting dodge alfa mutant cars? Id rather have something that says Alfa Romeo rather than Dodge. Dodge will never be as cool as alfa. So why bother with all the redesign to make something less awesome? Its a stupid move in my opinion.

[alboman1]

Derek D should wear a green shirt!

[unit03]

i think it looks cool but only for showing on a car show or somethin, not on daily driving. needs to have an off switch too.

[skyboom64]

lighty up wheels. fk that,they look shit.

[Sipher659]

that fucking moron should be shot in the face.  I hate people that put hug wheels on there car. you are a fucking idiot

[GNSRT4]

Dodge/Alfa SRT4 version FTW!

[dickcheese663]

that is the dumbest dumbass doucher ever... why not a big LED sign thats says.... " i need attention! I will never grow up! Small penis!" same thing

[PiroFyre]

Just like what Dodge did with Mitsubishi, create unreliable cars. Current Mitsu cars of today are a lot better than those DSM days. Fiat will go the same route.

[dickcheese663]

@PiroFyre soo true...one of the worst cars ever in the world ever was the first gen Volvo S40....a collaboration with Mitsubishi...worst thing ever dude trust me

[TeamEgyptE60M54B30]

wtf whats the point of having an alfa with a dodge front end?? I want an alfa alfa not a dodge alpha , the front is the sexiest part of an alpha anyway! way to go america.. just keep on fucking up cars so no one wants them even though you think we do. Wait what was that car again.. oh yeah the volt, that was a real winner. As much as I want to support my county's automobile manufacturers, I could just never get myself to buy an american car. smh

[ndsubisonfan]

Its the evolution of underSLOW

[Z3RO0RD1E]

Good luck Caterham, you're gonna need all of it.

[g00sampson]

@Z3RO0RD1E : With the backing of Tony Fernandez you never know... this actually sounds a lot like Cosworth, Lola or Zytek. If the business model is sound it could be a winner. Let's hope for the best. The Caterham 7 is an unbelievable package for purists.

[SirGarforth]

Is having LEDs on the rims of a BMW 7 series worse than having an Infinity G35 sedan with red/black rims and five LCD TV screens........on the outside of the car?

[Phantome666]

I wanna know how much time he spends cleaning the breakdust off the LED lights?

[XR8xSHOCKWAVE]

Titty Tassles Tuesday

[freidaddy81]

LED rims and Royal Purple is not cool.

[JeepCherokeeful]

The 7 series owner got more game than both of us combined and Factory Five probably is a safer, faster version of the Cobra. Alfa model already in production in Italy:)

One would hope he can turn off those rim lights off from inside:)

Yeah, shit video is called AutoWeak! This is not bad. The brits are the best with english language video or print by a long shot: ( Shame on us. I should of gotten a journalism major in college! Like taking candy from a baby stateside.

[Xenoni]

if he only put them on audi R8 , it would look like the audi in "I-Robot" ...

[highoctanefury]

Is that the new Alpha Neon? Now you can collect all 3!

[wickedonemd]

Turquoise Jeep... another bangaaaa(banger)... or should I say smanga! Lemme Smang it Girl... smash it and bang it!

[AdhiBoxerSanteros]

white M&M's ?? :O missing out down in NZ, can you send me some :D.... please

[ShizoluckyShizostar]

0:55 WRONG! Group Lotus LOST in court, because Fernandes legally bought the 'Team Lotus' name from the guy who in turn bought it from Colin Chapman himself about 20 years ago. Lotus Cars were allowed to use its name in F1, but the court did not prohibit Fernandes to use "Team Lotus' name. Later Fernandes bought Caterham and now Group Lotus have allegedly BOUGHT the Team Lotus name from him.

I know this is confusing, but not confusing enough to excuse such shit journalism.

[shawnice1]

dumbass for putting them on a 7-series

[supercojin]

They sell white M&M's?

[VictorRusin]

Hey Derek, I've got a good idea. Wear a green shirt to match the green screen, and get your guy in post production to add Alex Gizela's body in place of where yours would be.

[supervegano]

@VictorRusin dude great idea

[KevinBrrg]

I'm watching this in the toilet

[Slacking02]

TRON car!

[callate1269]

I think that car was kool!!!! :)

[cars2cars]

Skip ad to :26

[TheParone]

The wheels are cool if you can get away with it...which only Tron can. So, in the end, not any coolness to it. Anyone trying to 'pimp' a 7 Series like that has no business owning one. Perhaps an Escalade would be more appropriate for such an individual.

All that being said, you never explained how they lit the wheels up anyways. How did they do that and who do we have to blame for that?

Brian - Zurich

[JetBlackGT]

more like dbag of the week

[stilettolove88]

Tony Fernandes is a d bag! But at least he's doing something to make his company more credible. Those rims are pretty freakin sweet... I hate those light ground effects, but those rims look cool. As long as we don't start seeing them on Neons or Sunfires!

[BMan100]

just keep the light up wheels to SHOW cars, and not road going stuff and ok. Spinners are more than enough



[jonsimcoe]

Dumbass! As Jay-Z said, "old enough to know the right car to buy, but not to put rims on it"

[TKLiveDrive]

Why can't Alfa just come as Alfa. Whenever an American company gets rights to sell a European car otherwise not sold in the states they always Americanize it. making it bigger and heavier. In the case of Alfa Romeo this will make it worse. Alfa's are about driving quality, for a short time at least. Just give us Alfa Romeo. Screw Chrysler.

[phatkix]

My lunch hour just isn't complete without an episode of FLD! I have a question for you guys...What's the deal with "small" pick up trucks these days? Is there anything new coming out soon for North America? Our selection of non full sized trucks is terrible.

Thanks for doing what you do guys, love the show. Hey how 'bout it!

[360Sniperz]

LED Rims = Total douche .

[Notoriousyb216]

i think it would be cool on a motorcycle cause it would look like a tron lightcycle... btw as for the ferrari ebay auction... maybe the guy that just crashed his car can buy that one if he cant get it fixed

[TheKipinator]

@Notoriousyb216 the guys on the tv show american chopper put light up wheels on a motorcycle and it looked pretty cool

[SpeedFreakNO]

It wasn't all bad, the light wheels :P Specially when they go slow. Best use of extra lights on a car, like the fluorescent tubes underneath the car etc.. That's idiotic, but the light wheels, I liked it :P

[SpeedFreakNO]

Caterham 7, would be my first choice for a track day car! Fantastic piece of work!

[HKvsGlock]

They cut the Royal Purple ad because of views?

[ratpie]

having LED rims is like wearing one of those LA gear shoes.

[DanFrederiksen]

nono there are plenty of greater dumbasses before this guy.

a bit tacky perhaps, not a dumbass

[nnahous]

hhaha i love how he is a dumbass just cuz what he thinks is cool

[ThatManitobaGuy]

LED rims = douchebag

[stevenfaria20]

I think you should use the clip from last years football playoffs where Bart Scott says, "Can't Wait!" every time you have news about a future car you Cant Wait to see. You know, like the Rick Ross thing. It would be Boss! Cant Wait!

[Tonio31]

Lotusception?

[Reiberle]

@rezhik and Rick Ross

[Reiberle]

@rezhihk

[THEWILLIIS]

Its a dumass but its so dum its cool

[rezihk]

only persian people drive white bmw's with lowered suspension

[touge242]

so in three years the streets will be littered with broken down Alfas. I can live with that, at least alfas are fucking hot.

[Ji99i3]

i like the lights F what ppl think, theyre unique. if it were my car id just dull it down a tad though, and make the lights blue so i can make a tron car

[ARG3NT1N1AN]

Wow dude that BMW would be drivable for one night.. After that I would sell it

[nismo1480]

BOSS!!!!!

[BigKiddStats]

Hershey pa = 30 mi away YEAA

[FreddyFromHell]

It's a cool dumbass..?

[footballboy72]

I like the lights. Id just dull them down.

[Unleasheddeth6]

bad ass
