Title? Japolink must have watched the VIDEO to write that article. The video does not imply James was at the wheel. Keep digging.
Are you just being argumentative for the sake of it? I said his title was clickbait- it says ‘World’s First Onboard Drive’ and he doesn’t drive it. It’s clearly clickbait, and I’ve done my fair share of those, don’t have an issue with it. My point being it isn’t great to have an article written on a very popular site, dedicated to calling that out. Feel free to pick a fight where there isn’t one though.

Funny how so many posters have an issue with how you write/what you say, almost like its no them that are the issue Feel free to pick a fight where there isn’t one though.

I think long-term viewers such as myself are pretty screwed on when detecting clickbait nowadays. To me it was quite clear he didn't drive it as if he did, could you imagine the the amount of capital letters and exclamation marks in the title and the size of his gaping mouth in the thumbnail image?Feel free to pick a fight where there isn’t one though.

I watched the video and read the title. Pretty obvious to me he wasn't the one driving it.Feel free to pick a fight where there isn’t one though.
I don't like clickbait titles but I honestly didn't get that feeling from this title/video. Certainly not enough for it to be an article of a motoring news website (Jalopnik).
t being churned out in December and I find myself not even clicking on many videos I used to and actually makes jayemms videos more appealing.Beefmeister said:

It popped up on my feed, i did think "no way he gets to drive it".........not watched it yet, probably won't get round to it anyways.Feel free to pick a fight where there isn’t one though.
Just to add a little positivity to the thread - this year we’re really pleased to have done over 1,000,000 views. I know that’s small fry compared to most channels, but to us, doing 1m views, over 100,000hrs of content watched and 9000 subs gained is pretty amazing.
To anyone from here who watches our channel, sincere thanks, your views really matter to us.

The 720S is the one that wins my heart, although with a big important caveat that it has to be in pretty much that spec- more leather inside would be nice but that colour made the car. The 720 is extremely spec sensitive to me - far more so than the 12c or 650.
There is actually one last video to come from McLaren week from me, and I think it'll cause a bit of a stir...

I've had a bit of a look through the previous thread but couldn't see anything - have we chatted about SOL's Dubai trip yet? Watched bits of the various vids he's put out about it, culminating in him collecting the car from Eurospares, but he seems to have evaded chatting figures so far. Can't help but think it's a bit tight once you've shipped the car, paid duties etc. Doesn't stop me daydreaming though!
Caught some more Hoovies Garage afterwards. Driving the 348 back home. Phew, that's more my style! Though I did enjoy some of STG's vids over in America. Must sit down to watch the Magnus vid.
Still no UK plate for SOL's imported 458 Italia... seeing a Dubai registered Ferrari with loud exhaust, miles from their usual haunt of Kensington or Mayfair in the dead of winter may catch the attention of the local police around Hatfield Caught some more Hoovies Garage afterwards.

It’s great you’re obsessed with the legal aspects of his life.johnwilliams77 said:

Its just something to consider, all that money spent to import the car, fit new tyres and new exhaust kit, but not have a UK plate on it. Just an observation in the videos he's posted. It's a great car, and him meeting up with JWW, Sam and Seb Delaney of late has been good to watch. Perhaps Eurospares have something arranged to sort that out, it would be a shame to see the car picked up by plod under a Section 165 either for excessive exhaust noise (and flames) as well as no UK registration.
Well done for dodging comments about Autism today, mate. You can go back to trolling now. Take care xxx
