Are these Vloggers just a scam? SOL or Shmee etc? (Vol. 3)

The original video was quite interesting but I was still left wondering why everyone is going in so hard on this. I bet he wouldn't have made all this fuss if it was AMG!

Would be quite funny if they do a rerun and smash the record!

I think it would have been a much bigger story if it had been Mercedes which made the fraudulent claim.

There is every likelihood they will get the record on a rerun - though not at 331. Won't the gloss be rather tarnished by the fact that they made a fraudulent claim on a day when they failed, and afterwards lied repeatedly to cover it up?

I've said it before but will say it again, the BOM guys set the standard for automotive content on Youtube for me. Professional, highly skilled, humorous and just overall good guys.

Always come away from their videos wanting more. Current race series is TV quality.

An episode every week feels like such a treat. The best thing on Youtube right now.

Doing a second video (which I haven't watched) seems a bit overkill on the same subject. Why do they care so much?

The 2nd vid was in response to SSC press release and lies. Latest video was in response to Shelby's public apology and invitation to him, Misha and Robert.

If you made your living reporting on the world of hypercars, what news would you find more important to report on this week than a fraudulent fastest car claim?

The numbers watching the videos suggest lots of folk are interested.

So SOL’s NC500 road trip with STG started well... Trailered the Murci to Scotland and it broke down 10 minutes in... so he’s sitting passenger in his own cars for the remainder it seems.

I don't think I would want to take a Murci round the NC500 in November, whether it was trailered or not, but given he's been looking forward to this for a long time, I'm gutted for the guy.

The videos they've released are some of the dullest known to man. I imagine they've set some records of their own.

Two posts which sum it up perfectly.

Harry regularly blows it out of the water. Not really seen a bad one yet from him.

What is wrong with the car?

I thought he said it was the best example of a Lamborghini Murcielago there is!

Blimey! What sort of videos did you expect on this topic though?
This is basically one of the biggest stories in the automotive world in the last few years, a car company basically lying to the world about a 300+mph production car world record, I would be more surprised if one of the worlds biggest automotive Youtubers didn't do a video about it.

I don't see why all the hate for Tim, Misha and Robert unless you are a die hard SSC fan who believes the car did hit 331mph.

Ahmed doing a report on the SSC debacle is like Adam C doing a report on the SSC debacle. Stick to what you know.

It is not rocket science or brain surgery! we are talking about a video where a car is said to be going 200+mph on a in-car display whilst a camera in the car records a helicopter keeping up with it when the helicopters max speed is 150mph.

They teach this stuff at primary school,

Jerod needs to get to a meeting 331 miles away he is late! he has an idea, his new car he has been told can do maximum speed of 331* miles per hour, Jered gets into the car and sets off, how long does it take Jerod to get to his meeting?
(*The salesperson lied to Jerod the car can only do a maximum of 250 miles per hour.)

A - one minute.
B - one hour.
C - 1 hours, 19 minutes, 26 seconds.
D - Jerod decides to have a virtual meeting via Zoom.

A bit surprised as the car only was serviced in the summer, but not really driven for long journeys either. He used to be worried about the M25 because fuel consumption was high... it was a Garage Queen suddenly pressed into service on harsh Scottish roads. Hopefully an easy fix (water pump?) But he should have sold it when he had the chance

I find this somewhat idiotic given this is their job. What do you want them to move on to? Trump/Biden? In addition their videos on this topic are their most popular ever. Its probably one of the few times the automotive press has ever held a manufacturer to account.

I'm very much enjoying this chap Twin Cam. A young chap doing lots of BL stuff. He's really coming on as a presenter. Very watchable, and his videos are very well researched.

I thought this whilst watching. Car has been off the road for 12 months (maybe more) and as far as I am aware, not really driven before this trip. Expecting it to be driven reasonably hard, along far from perfect road conditions in Scotland is a recipe for something to go wrong. What should be quite a simple fix, will be difficult to sort such a long way from London.

Also got the impression he wasn't best pleased when on the phone to SB Racing? Seeming to throw some blame as only 10 mins into the trip and its f#/*$d itself!
