I'm sure i mentioned in my post "whats my fathers is mine..." and any publicity is good publicity. I'm not here to copy Tom Hartley and Co I'm here to be me. The whole social media presence has opened up opportunities i could only dream of which you guys will find out in time. You have to also remember im 19 years old... most 19 year old are out getting pissed every weekend, doing drugs and other stuff which is far worse than me uploading pictures of my shoes. Its about motivating people as much as it is sharing your passion. im pretty sure out of 1000 car pictures 15-20 or so not being cars is ok, right? again im not here to argue with you buddy you're entitled to your own opinion and i respect that. Have a good day buddy.
How did you know that my name is Buddy?Trying to say they’re your cars as "whats my fathers is mine..." is cringeworthy. You have use of the cars… they’re not yours if you go on what any reasonable person would.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having access to a bunch of great cars your dad owns… but imo it looks a bit pathetic keeping up the pretence that they’re actually yours. All imo of course but you’d come across far better online if you dropped this lie.
“any publicity is good publicity” - I don’t think thats quite true here. Sure you’re getting loads of Facebook fans or whatever… but other teenagers aren’t your target market are they ? You can’t sell a thing to them.
Personally (someone who’s young enough to still use social media, but old enough to actually be able to afford to buy or hire decent cars) I think the promotional stuff is horrendous… to the point I’d never rent or buy from your company. Just like I wouldn’t buy from Tom Hartley Jr either. Maybe thats just me though… I don’t know (or care) what anyone else thinks on that front.
I do find some of the stuff you do funny in a way… and I don’t mean this to be rude but you do come across as a bit of a knob on social media at times! Like I said earlier in the thread though… I was doing equally stupid and embarrassing s
t when I was your age (minus the super cars obviously) and I’m thankful now that camera phones, youtube, twitter etc didn’t exist then. I think (or hope) you’re going to look back on these videos etc and cringe with embarrassment at some point…. but until then I’m sure you’ll have a great time 
Loving the colour on the new Roadster btw - definitely the colour I'll be going for when they drop down to a price level I can afford
Definitely need to try and avoid yours after its done 100 asian weddings between now and then though

I'd be interested in how you dispose of them after lease/buying them
Usually just run them into the ground as i have Rolls Royce Phantoms from 2006 that have done 200,000 miles and some from 2009 that have done 150,000, but they are work tools so mileage and depreciation doesn't matter. They are not leased. Normally when we do sell we sell it fairly cheap but its not often we sell our cars. e.g I had a 2007 Lamborghini gallardo spyder that was bought for £140k or so brand new back then. I sold the car with 32,000 miles on the clock in 2011 for £60k but by 2009, the car had already earnt itself back so everything there onwards was profit. There is no business secret to this game other than establish your client base provide impeccable service and it happy days. Its a lot of hard work don't get me wrong but when you love cars so much work is not exactly work but more pleasure. Lord Aleem said:

See, this is where the 'I' makes no sense. You were, er, 12? When that car was bought? And, 16 when it was sold?Kudos to you for having the opportunity you have, you are living the life so many dream of, but your videos are pretty cringey (the gullwing video is pretty high on the list
)I would trade places with you in a second though, don't get me wrong, you're a lucky young man, I guess your persona is your own making though and it's not the way I'd go about it, but a lot of the 'supercar spotters' make me cringe anyway.
What's the Aventador like? Is it as epic as I imagine it would be?

Exactly... its all a bit retarded to pretend they're his cars when timescale wise they obviously aren't. At least pretend the Aventador is yours and you've a chance of the youtube 'tards falling for it Lord Aleem said:
So i finally decided to join the pistonheads family and create and account for myself.
looking back at it i guess it doesnt't look good but you live and learn and each day you aim to better yourself, i only do what i do on social media for car lovers to get an insight into my world as i love sharing my passion.
If this really is you, welcome to PH and thanks for the post... Right place right time rings to mind, good luck to your family, the silliness of weddings took off about then, helicopters are the thing now lol!looking back at it i guess it doesnt't look good but you live and learn and each day you aim to better yourself, i only do what i do on social media for car lovers to get an insight into my world as i love sharing my passion.
BTW, if you want to share your passion, get into the show car scene... Wilton house, cliveden etc etc and dads day out, sporting bears etc... Kensington is not how you share your passion...

why do i suddenly have this horrible vision of cars revving to death, whilst parading up and down the cliveden driveway ?!BTW, if you want to share your passion, get into the show car scene...

Find it amazing going from one Phantom in 2006 to 20-odd plus exotics and various other high end motors just worth multi-millions just 8 years later, hats off
What's the deal with your company? Do you sublet the orange Aventador and 1 ORD Drophead? As they're never around
Also when will the crashed 458 Spider and yellow Aventador return to the fleet? That'll be a sight to see, 448S and Aventador with 100k on the clock

does sound pretty amazing growth.. you must get to a stage of saturation with your market.
he says the Lambo was paid off after two years, 160k and 32,000k miles.. not sure on servicing and consumables. or your overheads, looks like it's run from your house so pretty small.
at 700 quid a day needs to be rented out 30% of the time, 228 days.
not sure how realistic that is? can't see much demand in the winter?
