Yet by sharing it on here you’ve made sure his views go up, his revenue still flows and he continues his stupidity…

Don’t the BiB ever get involved?

These are all public roads and open public roads.

Have you reported it to them ?

No not sure the correct process - I’m assuming this thread is about exposing certain bloggers ?

Do you simply call local station and share the link?

Not sure, but that needs serious police attention. Prob some of the most reckless driving I’ve seen

Try asking in the Speed, Plod & the Law section of the forum. Someone in there will be able to advise. May even be some active plod who will take an interest.

Car Throttle needs to ditch Alex. Jack and Ethan make a good double team, and they don't need the mighty midget just making snarky comments all the time, and destroying things. Their podcasts were awful, the whole Mike Brewer bit was cringeworthy, I can't remember the last time I saw a CT and thought "Yes I must make time to watch that", instead of "yeah that'll kill 20 mins".

Alex is annoying, Jack and Gareth are much better.

They should get the bloke on that was the RX8 specialist, he was really good.

Posting on page 458 the day I bought a Ferrari 458 spider.

Boys, I do believe we’re in the matrix.

Custard?

I’ll buy a packet on way to collection tomorrow but it’s going to be tough to eat because there is no spoon.

Get a ready made tub and drink it.

Congrats on the car. 458's are special cars imo.

Congrats, we definitely need a custard picture.

Referring back to the case history, Plato vs. Some Tit on Pistonheads, the rules are simple; it can be any type of custard receptacle - packet, tin, carton - but you need a photo of the car, with the custard container placed upon it. Those are the rules, I don't make them up.

Here you go Digga. Apologies it’s dark but was delivered at 5:45am

Yummy. That's how to do a custard pic.

Congrats again. Great spec.

Custard challenge met, and some!

Lovely car, in a great colour. Enjoy.

Excellent work, and excellent choice of car and spec. Enjoy.

I’m impressed with Sarah’n’Tuned OCD skills on the TT and her grandmothers old pick up.

OCD is a serious mental illness, not a skillset you learn.

Sorry, I was just using the term as an informal adjective as opposed to making a psychiatric diagnosis or seeking to offend. I imagine we both knew that though.

I think she does actually suffer from proper OCD to a degree, she’s said as much in the past.

I wish we in the uk could enter to win that TT, it’ll be better than when it was new!

I really like her videos. I think her channel is one of the one's I've watched for the longest now, although I don't usually watch the car reviews.


MrJWW's 4.0 GT3RS is gorgeous but the cringe at the start is next level.

Yep.

Mark-996-911 said:

Yep. If David Brent won the lottery and did car videos...

Still, if I had a 4 litre RS, then I'd feel pretty fking pleased with myself too. So fair dos and good luck to him.

It's a cAr LiFesTyLe channel... if you want to be a part of it, you need to buy his glasses, stand by a lake and seductively put them on whilst looking at the body of water in front you and contemplating your life choices that have led you to buying your 911 GT3.

That's all to immerse you in the context of this immersive smile gland response.

Yep start was a whole new level of cringe especially as it was a gloomy overcast day and he was still wearing sunglasses. Otherwise, decent content and the production/cinematography are on a different level.

I quite enjoyed the start.......seems like he was channelling his inner James Bond to coincide with the new film release!

Anyone into car builds/restoration, Torque GT the car importers have revived their channel the last few months and have currently got a restoration series ongoing on an Impreza P1.....up to series 4 atm. Very enjoyable!

That opening shot is from St Fillans, on Loch earn. I saw JWW up in my neck of the woods while he was driving the orange 992 accompanied by the other GT3's. I know people comment on the cinematography but having now seen the whole operation I expect it to be good. There was a camera operator literally strapped onto their Ranger truck bed filming. It was like a proper commercial operation.

[jayemm89]

Yep, and a one man band operating at my kind of level just could never afford to make videos to that standard AND turn a profit. Simply impossible.

Jayemm, just seen your 944 video. Talking up the price in advance of the next video, "Why I'm selling my 944"?

Just watched your new 981 Boxster vid.... good stuff

Sounded good too!

However what do you reckon between a £30k V8 Vantage 4.3 and something like the boxster, or more appropriately in this case a 981 Cayman..... where would your £30k+ go if running costs were a mere man-maths session away from being irrelevant? Would a 997.1 feature as a third option? Talking smiles per mile here....

Interested to hear after seeing your extensive experience of each!

Edited by PopsandBangs on Thursday 23 September 17:22

I had this same dilemma, as no matter what Vantage owners tell you, I agree with James. I reckon they will drop again in the near future. I went with a leftfield choice and I've just put a deposit down on a high specification Mercedes SLK 55 AMG (R172) with the P30 performance pack (includes a limited slip diff!), which is being delivered next week.

I live in the South East and there are so many Porsches around. I also really wanted to own a V8 of some description whilst we still can! A Vantage Roadster and R8 vert were on my list at the beginning of the year, but prices are strong at the moment. The SLK is a bit different - and the soundtrack is impressive. I'll be fitting an x-pipe and removing the secondary cats, both of which are common upgrades to unleash more V8 noise.

Hopefully I like it! Haven't driven it, so ...

Next video is, confusingly, "944 first drive", after that it'll be a buyer's guide, then a driving review, then will be deciding whether it's a keeper or not.

I realised I never do enough videos on my own cars, or historically haven't anyway, so because this is something that's fallen on my lap and is a very rare item it seemed criminal not to make some content hopefully for future buyers/enthusiasts to enjoy

[jayemm89]

Also, am I the only one who seems to feel like Maserati have badly mishandled the MC20 "Launch"?

We had a bunch of driving videos a while ago, but I don't think I've seen a proper "review", yet now Novitec are making content with it?

This seems very, very confused and given how important this car is I would have thought the big review day would have been more tightly controlled

Fair points, and I really like the car FWIW. The fact its so up-specced is really surprising. And the boy in me loves the turbo script on the top of the front wing. Now I know where the GT3 RS got the idea from!
