"Interesting perspectives". That's one way of putting it. I wouldn't give his views too much credence.

[Porsche911R]

Yep he is pretty cluless on the GT3 market, and it seems his mates buying GT cars at overs and now buying Macca's have more money than sense also.

best if he kept to lotus stuff he knows well.

[cayman-black]

lol, he rocked the Mclaren world though.

what told his mates to buy 2 stters, now moans about it.

he talks like they are his !!! when he says "we bought" a lot.

[robj4]

Methinks he sounds slightly antipodeon. I quite liked his diatribes on the McManchester shinanigans.

Maybe I won't enjoy his valuing my car at 20p when I watch this one later. I ain't bovvered tho.

[av185]

Verbal diarrhoea springs to mind.

Wonder if he's ever driven a Porsche.

Not quite what he was saying about the 997,he said he loved it ,his 'not that good comment ' was in context of the price they fetch.

[franki68]

what is he saying that upsets you all ? He is right about the availability determining the price ,and he says it's a good time to buy a 991 gt3, not sure how that ruffles some feathers.

Some members of the PH Porsche establishment just don’t like opinions contrary to their own?

He's driven at least one:

I personally like his stuff.

He's only 30 too.

Totally side steps probably the most crucial issue for earlier cars; the near- term end of the OEM 10 year engine warranty.

Why is that crucial ? When you buy a Ferrari or anything that is ten years or plus older you don’t get such a warranty .
Porsche were sufficiently satisfied with the changes they made that they could offer a ten year warranty and I would suggest any car with the issue would have experienced it by now.
If you buy from a dealer you will get whatever warranty they offer anyway .

I don’t see any evidence that buying a gen 1 gt3 is any more of a risk than any other similar aged car.
If you buy from an opc you would get their usual used car warranty wouldn’t you ?

[Twinfan]

Yep, and you can pay to extend it until the car is 15 years old as per any other Porsche.

[SpyderT]

Unlike most car reviewers he's not afraid to be critical. Have to say, having driven a 992 CS2 cab I totally agreed with his review:

He only told em what they already knew, but did not like to hear it. Lol

You don't. I hear plenty of conversations with people who do feel it is a concern. It might not be a total deal breaker for all of them, but it is definitely something to consider and a matter that ought to have been brought up in the video really.

To a lesser degree, strut tower failures might have warranted a mention. less of a worry and easier to spot, but there have been some reports of issues on both 991.1 and 991.2 platforms.

991.1 GT3 is a good car. I think I'd perhaps feel happier with a 991.1 GT3 RS, engine wise. His opinion of the 997 is valid, but sort of misses the point that some people want that sort of car or, indeed, an even older 996 GT3. None of these cars are going to be all things to all men.

I'm happy to concede I've not watched this particular video, purely because I've watched plenty of others he's had the temerity to foist upon the unsuspecting motoring enthusiasts on YT, and as AV rightly pointed out, this particular presenter all too often serves up huge amounts of verbal diarrhea with a large side order of pomposity that borders on the cringeworthy.
Best avoided in my very humble opinion.
