How much is a TDf? I have no idea.

Is it more than a Senna, a 4.0 RS and a GT2, or whatever he has bought (I lost track).

I take it back that was a good video from Shmee that Tesla is rapid

I would imagine TDF sold in the region of 600-650k

JWW has added a Senna to the collection, looks stunning in the dark colour.

What collection? His personal fleet or the bunkers collection?

I got the impression the 4.0 was his (really amazing car) and the Senna is not from social media (genuine question, I've not been keeping up with videos)

I have not really been watching either, just dipping in and out if the car interests me. I have noticed though, that in the recent round of collection videos, he says ‘we’ rather than ‘i’ when talking about ordering, specing etc.

The majority of ‘his’ cars are his business partner (multi millionaire bloke who owns the production company l, bunker etc..)

Notice the Senna has ‘joined the channel’. Very carefully chosen words. Same for the Gemera.

Does it really matter who owns the cars, I would sooner see content and cars like this instead of grown men with a DB meter and traffic cone.

People waste so much time nitpicking on whether a car is his, his dads, his business partner’s, the lease company’s etc. What does it matter? If he drives the car on the channel, pokes it with a stick and acts like he has access to the thing with impunity, who are we to judge. Best just to enjoy the footage, or not.

I completely agree, I found it interesting that the Senna was bought from his business partner though. I wonder if he sold the F12 TDF, bought the Senna from his business partner which then freed up his business partner to buy the GT3 4.0 and the 992 GT3. Next car to join sounds like it's something more expensive than the Senna! I wonder if it is F40 BLU?

Jay-Dubz next car will be the Porsche Carrera GT.

He must have had some change from selling the TDF.

Odd. On the Car Chat podcast not that long ago he said he’d never sell the TDF, I wonder what changed.

I knew the Plaid was fast, but watching the speed numbers increase is completely unreal. I so want a go in one just to feel it.

I have been watching Mike form Stanceworks build. I enjoy his style and his use of the chapters if yo uwant to skip the techy stuff.

Here is a link to his first video on the Ferrari 308 build

Absolutely loving this build, Mike is brilliant.

Good stuff, did not know about the hydraulically operated (not assisted) clutch and that proto PDK box looks like a work of genius for the time.

Much respect to Archie Hamilton for the video he’s just uploaded on his (sadly) deceased father.

The channel James owns is MrJWW, he mostly drives his own cars on the channel, he says "x car" has joined the garage or stable" which means it is his business partners, I think though that this "business partner" is nothing of the sort, he is a guy that has a lot of money and loves exotic cars, he likes to share them, but doesn't want to be known or in-front of the camera and doesn't have the skills to do it himself, James does it all for him and he gets content out of it.

James and the "business partner" don't sit about chatting about what car would be good for the channel, the "business partner" buys what cars he wants and James films content with them, I would say that any car with his plates on "JWW" are his owned cars, I cannot remember a car that has joined the garage showing a plate at all.

This is what I think anyway, sort of like that GerCollector guy Tim is friends with, he never shows his face and always covers his plates up.

Not wanting to stir all this up again, but from Jame's videos I don't think he has ever lied about owning a car, he may have not been 100% but at the least 99%, he knows that he would get found out and for being his dads cars, maybe he used some of his share of family money, but this doesn't make it "his dads car".

I agree.

I do think though that James has all-ways been Mr Sensible, but he's seen that his peers are able to have a large collection of cars, Tim and Tom (TGE) and he has moved very much into the financing of cars especially with that Charles and Dean finance company he is working with, he could have sold the TDF, maybe even to his "business partner" and used the cash from the sale of the TDF as a large deposit on the 911 4.0 RS and Senna and this other up coming car, this is what I think has happened.

Using the TDF money as a deposit on other car to finance them.

I agree, that accelerator pedal is more like a hyperspace button!!!!!!!!!

Thats a shame to hear he only did a vid with him last year didn't he? Sounded like he'd lived a life!
