So STG Sam, despite getting his 540c wrapped only 2 months ago, now wants it wrapped again in a different colour, because ‘the khaki goes a bit yellowy / grey in the sun’. And his other car is yellow. Maybe get that toilet seat wrap technology (above), and apply it to your car, so every 2 months you just press a button….

I doubt Tim/Sam/Paul pay full price to get their wraps done at Dub Customs, if at all. The publicity they have given Dub has transformed the company, its rammed all the time now. So even if they have to pay for the wrap hut not the labour, it's not going to cost much.

With these channels they have to keep it fresh and new, wrapping their cars is a very simple, easy and fun way of doing this.

One reason I like Sam and his channel, is because it’s more real and less mindless money spending, but subsidized or not, this comes over as the latter. Besides, how many videos of Dub Customs working their magic, do we really want to see? Too much sponsored content and people start unsubscribing.

It's a slightly weird video. The bloke looks too old to be doing that YouTube stuff and why is he driving what looks like his mother's car? Or is he doing a parody and I've missed the joke?

I'm subscribed to sol and similar such as Archie Camel toe. They're about as interesting as a a kick in the nuts. (Stg is ok to an extent). Its the same old stuff video after video with them. There's only so many times you can watch someone rev his exhaust on an empty road. Makes supercars look pretty boring. I think most of them are trying to flog a dead horse. Supercars are a goal but I'm a young guy, I don't have the money for anything that spec. Seeing someone video himself errrday with one gets tedious.

I stick to dmo and yianni now (yianni's videos are all the same as well but something about them keeps my interest). My favourite "review" type channel is performanceCars. I think the guy is sound, nice cars, good videos. Quite relaxing to watch. Only other things i watch are chris fix type videos that touch on detailing and the like. I prefer to watch videos that I can relate to, are within my sort of scale and I also have the funds to give it a go with my car.

So watched TGE's update from Geneva...he's orderded an Aventador S, Huracan Performante, 812 Superfast, GT3 & some crazy BMW which ins't an M2 CS.....holy crap that's some additions to your fleet!

Harry's Garage Geneva video was a good watch. I could listen to Harry for hours! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOsqp-mXrUo

He can't be planning on holding onto any of them for too long. Will be interesting to see if he keeps hold of more than 1 or whether it'll just be F12, replaced by Aventador, replaced by Performante, replaced by GT3 (if that comes), replaced by 812...

I'd also be very worried about depreciation on the Aventador!

So you don't want to watch STG trap a McLaren 540C and 570S along an amazing road in the south of France but will happily watch that Yianni bloke ruin nice cars in a dreary lock up in London? (his blue 488 was perfect and he utterly ruined it with a sill wrap and hideous wheels)

He’s like a modern day Loadsamoney. It might have been quicker to just list the cars he hadn't ordered from the show. Such a modest character. He even managed to bore that poor guy in the 812, before rapidly escaping, leaving TGE to it.

I think he hints in the video one will replace another

Fair play to him that's an exciting year of cars ahead to enjoy and I bet he'll make enough on the GT3 flip to subsidise the others ha ha

I think we’d best stop mentioning Polo Joe’s channel, because it’s clearly gone to his head:



The reason I called you out on the use of ‘flyd’ yesterday is because it’s not a nice term http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fly...
