But it's on YOUR channel to help YOU make money off it. Which makes you complicit!
I bought a product, and sold the product on, do you not have any idea how the world of business works?!Rich_W said:
You, and your sad group of mates who trawl round London, camera in hand, ARE THE PROBLEM! You create an audience for certain supercar owning mongs to show off in front of. You and your parasitic types BLOCK roads, chase cars down the road and walk around private underground car parks to get the all important "spot" You may not like to read it. The backlash against the spotters has started. Just see the posts on this forum. 
I fear a day when the sycophantic spotter audience encourages driving that leads to serious injury. Though I can bet that certain YT people would quite happily take the view counts if they uploaded "Lambo driver in London hits pedestrain"
This just again shows how little you know, how many of my videos are from me trawling around London? Maybe 1 in 50? You're so ridiculously uninformed it's mind-blowing.I fear a day when the sycophantic spotter audience encourages driving that leads to serious injury.

Just to clarify, do you get equally angry with The Times, Guardian, Telegraph, Daily Mail, etc for writing articles about bombs going off or serial killers? Why are you saying one news outlet is ok but the other isn't?

I bought a product, and sold the product on, do you not have any idea how the world of business works?! Instead. I have morals and don't try and make myself "a face" off the back of others wealth. Horse for courses But as you PAID my arrogant fellow poster. You can take the s
t when it benefits YOU financially to post it. You've got 3M+ hits on the current lambo accident. Care to admit how much YOU paid for it and how much that 1 video is gaining you? How is the occupant of the Mazda btw? I assume you'll be keeping in contact with them for a while seeing as how it's benefitting you. How about you contact the Lambo owner? See how he and his friend are. Maybe a nice interview of all 3 in the same room. You could compere the event. Be a real winner

bks! http://www.youtube.com/user/Shmee150/search?query=...Shows the level of your denial. More than 100 videos from the search "London" right there. 1 in 50 my f
kin arse! I particularly liked the one where you deliberately drove your car around London just to get reactions. How exciting your life is Shmee said:

Dear lord! You consider yourself a "news outlet" You are nothing more than a paparazzi. And lets be honest. No one with scruples likes them either. 
And you actually compared what you do to some journalists with integrity. You should have worked at the NOTW Like I say. If on a site like PH, there's a backlash against spotters. How does that sit with you? Surely we'd be the one group that would approve of how you conduct your business. The target audience would be car people surely?
Anyway. We're off topic now. If the mods could fold these last few posts into the Supercar General thread about "lambos revving" that'd be super. Many people in there don't much like the spotters either

I thought about wasting some time bothering to reply to your message, given that it's so overly loaded with completely incorrect info as always. However you've proven yet again you're just a childish keyboard warrior and I've got better things to do this evening.
Presumably hanging out by Harrods yeah? "ooh ooh I think there's a special edition Gallardo round the corner. I'm going to wk myself silly tonight over a video of it" Incorrect info? What like the EVIDENCE you have over 100 videos on London alone. But like to claim 1 in 50 are London? Like I say. How is the Mazda driver? Spoken to them?
Love how pretentious people like you with your own little version of how the world is always call people keyboard warriors when someone bursts their bubble. Remember, spotters are tragic, that's the consensus on PH. Not much you can say or do will change that.
Remember deary. I've had the misfortune of meeting you in real life. I knew within 30 seconds what sort of arrogant stuck up individual you are in real life. It's no surprise your website follows this trend
I quite enjoyed that episode.
Can't say I understood why anyone would gaze upon the Silver Wraith and not think "WTF?", something Vicks alluded to.
I can understand the appeal of the luxury interior but the starlit roof? Really? I mean, really?
I'd split the difference twixt that and the cheap variants and buy an Arnage which at least only had a BMW engine.

I thought the Wraith was bloody lovely and I'd definitely cough up for the starry roof - I think I might secretly be a bit Chav though to be honestCan't say I understood why anyone would gaze upon the Silver Wraith and not think "WTF?", something Vicks alluded to.

Maybe it would work in triple black all over when that starry starry night wouldn't paint your palette blue and grey...

I think the motorsport sections are too long and boring. Johnny is not the most charismatic of presenters and I just ended up getting bored by the rallycross section which was far too long as their "main story" sections generally are.
I enjoyed Tiff in the Sport Transit and the Caterham piece - though Plato's summary won't be doing them any favours.
Bit like Johnny suggesting the Cayenne was a good car but a bit of a munter.
The alternatives to the van (estates) was also interesting - again this needs expanding - those Volvo rear shocks would be a huge expense.
The piece about official MPG figures was also ineresting though nothing we ddn't already know.
I needs more regular car stuff. I can take or leave the motorsport - great for the presenters, not so much the viewers.

That's fair. I can see what they're trying to do but it does takes such a long time to get the the best bits. Bit to much waffle at times, which is even worse if it's something of no interest.Saying that, I know if a subject isn't of interest to me, I can just FF it. Since there's no scripted silliness, you know you're just missing the piece and nothing else, which makes it an easy watch.

Yes, for which reason i tend to Sky plus it and start watching half an hour in so I can FF anything that I find dull. Don't get me wrong, i can see the attraction of rallycross but in the old days, they used real cars and not these hybrid bespoke multi-million quid machines which is the part I find boring....similar to the Paris-Daker piece - I find these cars irrelevant - bring back manufacturer sponsored saloon car racing with some connection to the real world, not 600bhp 4WD "DS3s".Saying that, I know if a subject isn't of interest to me, I can just FF it.
