Snippy.
Actually enjoy your channel, and have utmost respect for what you've done - regardless of your starting position, which you're actually reasonably open about. Fair doos.

Not quite vlogging, but the Mclaren YT channel has been great. Interviewing customers about their cars. Like the Japanese lawyer who daily drives his P1 and the Kiwi guy with a High Downforce F1.

I have been watching a load of the Geneva 2017 show coverage and I have to give it to them they are very good at putting out decent content quickly and regularly, even if its not as in depth in Chris Harris or that Evo guy who reminds me of the Green Cross Code Hedgehogs. And especially the vloggers like Shmee get surprisingly good access to the manufacturers.

My only criticism is they get a bit over the top, over excited and screechy, especially guys like Seen Through Glarse and Mr JWW - but then they are young, rich, driving a McLaren across Europe to a car show, id be buzzing my tits off as well.

After attending the Geneva car show, I can assure you, any buzzing of said tits would soon be quashed. Its like a posh car park full of cars you cannot touch. To make matters worse, it is like walking round a packed Asda supermarket with the number of mouthbreathing dawdling twunts everywhere.

Still, staying in Evian on the way back was alright I suppose.

LondonGeorge87 seems to know quite a bit of Mr TGE.

Funnnily enough he also has quite a bit in common with him as apparently he too has a Mac 720S and Huracan Performante on order. What are the chances of that ?

He's also expressed an interest in a custom built exhaust for an F12 in the Ferrari owners forum here helpfully linking to TGE's you tube channel for anybody else in the same boat.

He's also as per another thread he's contributed to a big fan of Dub Customs and their ppf service.

Remarkable.

He also has 87 in his name, TGE's birth year (i think) and obviously George is TGE's middle name.

Desperate and pathetic self-promotion....how the feck someone like that get enough money to buy all of those cars :/

The plot thickens... A TGE supporter, a TGE hater, or TGE in disguise? These forums are so transparent, not even he would be that stupid. Surely.

OR WOULD HE...

In case anyone cares...

Enjoying TGE's content recently, although I think many struggle to understand his blasé attitude and dead pan sense of humour. As others have said, he seems to have his pinkies in many pies, his head very much in gear & is always working - kudos. Come a long way from an E93 M3!

Although SOL's content isn't my cup of tea (and by that I mean I don't think I fall into the target audience), credit to Paul for what he has achieved. Seems a very genuine and hard working character who really has come from nothing.

See Delanney - no words. I just cannot see past the annoying floppy hair, the annoying accent and (for the final straw) the annoying "Mooooor-ning" he does on his videos - like nails on a chalkboard. Wince. Sorry, not sorry.

Finally, STG has come on leaps and bounds with his content and quality. A much more cinematic/professional feel in recent videos. Just watched his latest video driving the 4C Spider and really enjoyed it.

Did you ever manage to change your username on the replica watch forums Tom or do those threads still show up in google searches when you search for londongeorge87?

No idea who TGE is but I just googled 'TGE youtube' and given what an utter fking prick he looks with that ridiculous tramp beard, I think I now have a good idea.

How can someone who can afford such cars not afford a mirror?

Well that was nasty.

Maybe he doesn't have a mirror, but then he's not driving a 330D and you are. wink

Fair bit about this TGE character online; notably LDNM his company even featured on Forbes recently:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisoncoleman/2017/02...

He even apparently founded a watch trading business too in Notting Hill, @WatchesLDN on Instagram.

Not a hint of family money here. Good on him - more than can be said about a few of the daddy funded youtubers with nothing better to do, naming no names. Interesting funny character too. One to watch!

Assuming it is one and the same, and that you're still watching George, so hamfistedly trying to drive traffic from PH to garner You Tube clicks seems a rather stupid thing to do. Surely you can't be that desperate for the cash to fund the lifestyle ?

Sadly for you the average PHer isn't a semi-literate teenager aspiring to a replica Panerai lifestyle they'll never achieve.

LG87, you had me convinced until you started saying STG is from the streets... everything else was believable laugh

Come on Tom, time to reveal yourself, you've been 'rustled'!

Well that was my fun for the day.
Thanks for playing, yes to those that spotted it eventually, it's your resident youtubing moron with a tramp beard here, TGE.

Ciao for now

To be fair, londongeorge87 could be a TGE fan boy, or one of those weirdos from instagram that runs one of the numerous fan pages on his behalf. Don't understand why he would bother commenting on this thread under a different username, but then again! From what I can see on instagram, he calls his followers his lambs, so maybe George has got loose from the flock!
Off to watch a SOL YouTube video now!
