I would rather watch you stick wasps up your bottom.

[993kimbo]

It would be less painful.

I can't help but say what a scumbag. He must smell nasty and laugh his ass off taking the cash he does from suckers who pay it

Yes, nasty man. He should wear a suit and work in an OPC, then it'd be ok

no suit or soap could help here.

Well, you can but dream and quality is not a word to be used frivolously

[993kimbo]

Here are few more:

Odious. Loathesome. Sycophantic. Boring. Self-important. Vain.

...and silly fake accent.

I like his Porsches and although his life story (as he tells it) is a bit like a Forest Gump movie in terms of how events lead into each other and sort of happen by accident good on him for living the dream. So much jealousy and nastiness about a bloke thats just doing his own thing. This forum just likes to shoot down everything - becoming tiresome.

Nothing wrong with MW, his build films are entertaining, his cars look good and apparently are a blast to drive and his life seems pretty damn fun.

Unless I've missed something I can see what he's done to bring on such hatred - so what if he's got long hair and tattoos - what does that mean?

I don't find him inspirational verbally and therefore struggle to think he merits a TED talk but his car collection is incredible and I'd rather watch his videos than not.

Bizarre level of vitriol here. He's just a guy who's been quite successful, bought some cars and made some videos. He seems like a decent enough bloke. If he talks about those deck lids one more time though

[minimalist]

From the moment he put 964 cup mirrors on a long-hood he was dead to me.

Excellent. Sitting here chuckling at that one.

MW has worked hard for it and he creates some cool cars. I think they work better in the states though, a bit like Harley's and American muscle cars. Cool over there in the LA sunshine, but don't make as much sense over here.
