A lot of nonsense in it (ours doesn't pull to one side on braking, nor are the costs to replace things like anything mentioned) but his enthusiasm is definitely entertaining viewing!

Is he a serious guy? I am not 100% sure he is. But the Morgan wins!

+1. I follow him on Twitter and he is a very keen M3W owner, with a fully upgraded car. Is he a serious guy? I am not 100% sure he is. But the Morgan wins!

M3W vs AMG G63 is also hilarious, not least of all for a Harvey Weinstein gag - this must be well before all the current allegations.

I've had the pleasure to hang out with Alex a few times during Car Week in Monterey (the festivities around the Concour d'Elegance at Pebble Beach)
He's as much a personality and character in person as in these videos. He has owned multiple M3W's, broken chassis, been friendly with Charles Morgan, and has owned other odd and eccentric cars - Citroen SM, air cooled Porsche Targa. He drove an e39 M5 for the cannonball (driving from Los Angeles to New York) record at the time, by making sure his routing and detections schemes avoided police (including multiple in car radar detectors/lidars etc and a spotter plane, yes plane. Oh, and the car had police livery on it. He wrote a book about it and appeared on David Letterman's talk show. He's now done that cross country drive autonomously in a Tesla and in the Morgan. With a catheter.
100% of the time he's 60% serious. Smart enough to be biting but always with a smile.

He reminds me a bit of Kojak the lollipop sucking TV detective, aka Telly Savales, any relation?
