Sounds like a great idea for a horror movie like Shaun of the Dead.

If he sells them all out that’s over £400000 in ticket sales dependent entirely on lockdown being lifted with no delay.

He’s either very brave (or a idiot)
'By paying a deposit on this ticket you accept that the organiser has the right to change the date or cancel the event with no notice...Covid blah blah....your place in the event is only guaranteed with he final payment.....deposits and instalments are non-refundable' are the types of things that people won't have read when they put their money down for these events.
That's the thing, there are absolutely no terms and conditions anywhere on the website.

I even stuck a comment on his IG asking where are the T&Cs and what happens in the event of a covid cancellation and my comment was deleted. This will end well rofl
U r just a h8r bro.





It’s gonna be (literally) car crash tv.

Poor old Phil at morethancars has literally done his nuts on his pista & SV.

Based on previous videos he paid 330k for Tom’s SV and put 80k in, now listed with dean for 265k - pretty much wiping all his equity there,
His pista he paid 370k for and put 150k in. Now up at 269k. So another 100k plus loss.

JBR aren’t underwriting and while he’s got 500k plus already on the tab underwriters are obviously not keen to extend so he’s had to cancel his tributo and can’t get his new Mclaren underwritten.

Obviously don’t know his personal circumstances but expecting to have 1.5 million quid of car finance was probably something he needed to have in place before throwing order forms around like confetti

What makes zero sense to me is the fact he’s done the equivalent of a solid F12 paid for cash in losses and he’s still trying to sign up for more.
Nuts eh, what some people will do to get IG famous. He won't be the only one that takes a bath.

Guess he thought it was a "business plan" to become another S(c)hmee.

Ricky has just got himself a 720S, seems fighting with Chavs in a muddy field is quite lucrative.

IMO Phill doesn't come across to me that he is trying to be IG famous, hindsight is a wonderful thing. He probably could have sold those cars sooner if we weren't still in lockdown with no actual idea when life will return to normal. These are real life problems, I for one am glad he is being open about his woes (hardly seems like the type of thing someone trying to give followers the impression he leads an IG lifestyle would do).

I find it really interesting that he sold his cars to get the McLaren, I'm really glad he is but after everything that happened in the past I want to know the psychology behind this desire.

They won’t have read that type of stuff as the site is devoid of any terms or conditions.

And I’d massively undercalculated the volume of sales as id missed that most of the prices were just first instalments

With all the payments it’s well over £800000 in sales
Christ on a bike. It's a recipe for disaster - an easy way to get rid of unwanted money.

Wow, I should start shooting videos of me working on my VX220 and not actually achieving anything but a bad back. Like Hubnut but more calamitous.

Just measuring the garage for an Enzo.

It ain't because of his views right now

He's pumping his competitions, 3000 tickets @ £12 is £36k, give away a 59 plate M3 worth worth 20k so £16k gross profit. Couple of those a month and you're laughing.

Is this the Eastenders thread? Who are these people you're talking about? I wish people would stick to using social meeja names and not deviate into using real names as if we all know who's who in this sordid world.

I recall him slagging off a manual 997 GT3.2 for having a crap gear change compared with a PDK 991 GT3. The man's an arse.
Having come across him on a trackday in his 991 GT3RS he can't drive for st either.
I've said this before too. Gearchanges aside, he hacks at the steering wheel like he's on Colin McRae Rally, getting cars very unbalanced because he thinks he's making "minor corrections". He will definitely end up in a barrier on the Nurburgring at some stage, assuming he ever returns from the States.

Amazes me that he can get 3000 people to part with £12 twice a month. It sounds like a good business model if you can sell the tickets.

You don't daily drive SV's and SVJ's unless you're Rana and you don't give a F about resale.
What's the story with this Rana guy? Apologies if its been covered before, but recently he crops up when watching Youtube and seems to be buying cars daily, he must have (as well as the two SV's) 3 Merc AMG GT R's, Bentley, Merc Jeeps, he seems to constantly be unveiling cars?

I did try a little googling about him, and there was some chat a year or two back about a big Euro Millions win?

I'm not being nosey, just curious to see if there is a story out there that's all.

I dunno who Phill is to be fair? But I thought Ricky (Living Life Fast) was ubiquitous on here, apologies.

I think the man is not financially savvy and it appears that he is trying to live a life that is way beyond his means. He may be a wealthy individual but he’ll not stay wealthy for long if he continues along the road that he is on. I predict bankruptcy.

He’s taken a bath on practically every car that he has bought, yet the man is going for more with the DBX and 765 LT. Where’s the logic in that? Finance companies only refuse credit when they think an applicant is over extended and cannot afford the debt.

That said, I think the chap is a fantastic guy with a refreshing honesty, perhaps too honest at times. He should also realise that his videos for the most part are just him sitting in a car and chatting. Barely does one get to see the cars in detail. Phil is the star of the channel not the cars - he could buy cheaper cars and still attract views.

Good luck to him, I think he’s going to need it.

My apologies, I find it weird calling people by their handles when you know their real names. I was referring to MoreThanCars on Youtube aka PhilDixon89 on instagram aka Phil Dixon IRL

Thought I'd watch a couple DMO vids to see if the driving had improved.

Nope.

One of his crew borrowed his Golf R and wrote it off within 2 min of leaving. Interesting to note what side of the road the Golf appears to be on. Not a moment's sympathy expressed for the poor sap in the other car.

Well this sums up the DMO fan base nicely. Made a comment about the video where DMO and Mist were doing over 200mph on the M1 while stoned and this gem came to his rescue.

Poor Connor rofl
Connor the self proclaimed gypsie king from his profile. Poor brainwashed boy

Apex has already said they are not welcome.

I doubt most will leave Amsterdam
