Rory’s stoked with his new accomplices. He said,
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be bringing on some exceptional talent to join me on the YouTube channel. “Like many car lovers, Auto Trader has been a near-permanent fixture in my web browser for as long as I can remember, so being able to produce videos that have helped many find their perfect car or to get some much-needed escapism with me on a road trip in some of the world’s wildest supercars has been a dream come true for me. “Now I want to help people even more and both Alex and Alex provide a whole host of new ideas, skills and pure passion to take our videos to a whole new level. Together, we’re going to create greatness, I recommend that everyone puts their seatbelts on for this one, we’re about to go full throttle!”
