I think he was just being honest... an up to date Merc engine, twinned with outdated infotainment with an array of buttons and no touchscreen is not worthy of a car costing £150k. Interiors seem a bit gash as well if I'm honest. A good old fashioned POVlog

I don't think everybody's obliged to like every car and I appreciate his honesty. However I disagree with him and you.

I had a day in a dbx last week and I came away saying that if I was in the market for a £180000 luxury car it is probably the one I would choose. I liked the look and feel (particularly the interior) and the way it rode and drove. Harry and Catchpole who are both also honest reviewers thought that it drove with elements of Aston and liked it.

I certainly agree that the infotainment should have a touch screen but I don't agree with the complaints about too many buttons - buttons are good once you are familiar with a car and in this case actually I would have liked more buttons because unlike my DB11 there is no hotkey to switch between infotainment modes.

No one should kid themselves that an SUV at this price point will do any job better than 1 for £50,000. But it may make you feel better and give you more pride of ownership. Which of this, the Urus and the Bentayga an individual would choose is totally subjective.

I know the car isn’t relevant to the UK market. But il say it again. Savagegeese. They just give the best technical insight into the new GT500. But they manage it with geek/nerdness and humour.

I have also been watching all the recent Harris interviews and I like his honestly. I have not watched a single TG as I just cannot stand the other two pillocks. I just watch his reviews on YT. He looks to be distancing himself and the LBS and even the RBR interviews were really good.

I am also working my way through the CC podcast. It’s just compelling listening.

TV, film and radio? Really?

We'll be updating this forum title to include 'video streaming' so it makes sense to have this thread in here now, as it'll be the home for anything YouTube, Netflix, Prime etc related.

But everyone knows that it was in GG.....honestly why change it and make it difficult for everyone particularly as you have changed the title of the thread as well....?

How the hell can Bugatti be happy to sell cars to "rental" companies?!? not only that but then for it to be used in a crappy marketing campaign for scammers.

Is this Fyre Festival for credit cars?

The more i read about this the more similarities I find with Fyre Festival! Exactly the same marketing strategy, paid an absolute loads of Influencers and celebrities to promote them.

Probably because the weird stalking and bickering in this thread looks bad - I saw someone referencing it on Twitter the other day as an example of how st the PH forum is these days, suspect that isn’t the image the owners are hoping for....

Bargain Racement has come to an end sadly. I have loved some good budget racing content with all the prep and behind the scenes stuff to go with it. Fantastic move by them to donate the car to aa good cause that I'm sure will get lots of use from it.

Hopefully they're going to be putting out more content now they've got a video guy and seen how well a weekly series has done.

We really enjoyed the Bargain racement series. Hadnt seen anything from them before but watched all of the episodes as they came out and hope they find something else they can add some more brackets to in the future.

It is the other way around. There is an increasing number of threads on Youtube (and other online) content in here, so the title is catching up with reality; e.g:

And in turn, more and more suckers will sign up to it.

I'm also enjoying the Evil GT guys channel of late

[Meridius]

Maybe that Chiron wasnt bought directly from Bugatti but third party?

Also, very judgemental of JayEmm not to want to buy a drug dealers car, I assume they mostly just trundle around town sticking to the speed limits, just check the passenger seats for bolster wear

Ok, one of the owners of lanistar is Yasam ayevefe, was arrested by Interpol for illegal internet gambling in turkey, scamming people with an algorithm that meant people could only lose money, allegedly.

Didn’t take much to find that out, fair play to TGE for pulling out of this st show, for shame for everyone else involved in it.

Bugatti doesn't care because they only care about selling cars. I'm pretty sure a lot of Chrion owners are shady.

For example, there was a Chiron booting around Monaco and the owner was supposedly a mafia leader from Eastern Europe who created an alt coin. There was another owner out in Vancouver, Canada who was plastered in Chinese newspapers who complained about paying tax and it turned out his Dad was a Chinese duck farmer who become a billionaire. He had links to the CCP and organized crime.

Robert is at it again uncovering more lies in the automotive sphere, this time it's Tesla, well a Tesla tuning company.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe6VroDVGVA&ab... Once again claims have been made and our trusted journalists have taken the bait, shared the news as fact and the internet has eaten it UP!!!!

Would have made more sense to do the due diligence prior to signing the contract I would have thought..
