That is very nice, keeping a small amount of junk in the trunk tidily tucked away.

Looking at other later videos they seem to have gone for plastic for the proper production version of that thing.

Does it use the space where the Rex would be?

James seems to pull off the Gumball look much better than Tim does.

Yes, they do sell an improved moulded plastic version now. That looks like a cobbled up prototype in the film, hence the bit of eye distraction maybe smile.
And yes, it does go in the void otherwise occupied by the REX motor.

That v6 is a great purchase

Really like tom as a presenter too smile
He acts like the cars are his which is incredibly cringey
I quite like him, he certainly isn't offensive or cringey in anyway

I don't think he acts like they're his at all, at least that's not the feeling I get from the videos, he says 'we' and 'our' because he works there and constantly saying 'Shmee's 'insert car name here' would get very tedious for him and the viewer I think
I agree, the channel is basically Tom's really, it shows the other side of what goes on, Tim cannot keep up with all the car issues he said ones you get about ten cars it's difficult to manage and even more difficult if you are away for half the year which he is.

Maybe Tom just hasn't got comfortable in-front of a camera, he basically got thrown in-front of a few thousands viewers from day one, he just seems a regular person, and he doesn't come across that he says he owns the cars, it's his job to look after the cars really, couldn't keep saying "Tim's [car name]" all the time.
Just feels like a bonus channel to me. Might as well throw a camera to the behind the scenes guys and film whatever they like to capture whatever extra revenue they can from the Shmee super fans.

Is this a new thing, showing the most watched sections of a video?

Most of the peaks in this one seem to be where Tight Dress Lady is bending over........

If it's enabled for your account you get it with the scrubbing bar.

It was in test about 6 months ago. I like it. Reminds me of another website I definitely never visit.

It's the loudness of the audio.

Sam and Seb driving the two McLarens up Mount Teide will always be one of my faves, but Sam has recreated it with his 360 and it's every bit as stunning.



Production quality wise Sam is still at the top of the game.

It’s handy - makes it easy to find the cum shot best parts of the informative car review.

For me Luke with cars is just a bit shallow on what he says in the content. Beautiful cinematography but he's never going to say anything negative about any car he drives.

Epic video and scenery, we did the same roads as a coach trip whilst on holiday about 10 years ago.

Came here to post about the STG video as well. Simply incredible (video and moment). The sunrise montage gave me goosebumps.
