Taylor on the podcast. I assume we’ll here some kind of loose apology / sob story?
Ok, update on my own post.

I listened this evening and overall it was good. Pretty much back to normal, but much like the main channel.. calmer and less laddish.

Also.. Taylor is starting his own channel (presumably under the AA banner). But will still be involved in the main channel.

Finally.. the apology was short, seemed genuine and then they moved on.

I'm in the office today with the long drive home later, so might listen to the podcast out of curiosity. Rarely listened to it before, usually turned it off after 15 minutes or so.

Taylor and his mates tried to ruin a small channel / business plus dragged others into the mess, not missed them and will not be watching or listening.

I’d go along with that especially re the apology. It seems a bit more grown as well. How long that lasts is anyone’s guess.

Same, I haven't missed their content at all so won't be tuning back in at any point in the future

I see both the Auto AA and TDC podcasts are now moving to their own youtube channels. Feels sensible to separate it from the actual video content.

It is necessary to post a link to every JWW/Manny/Shmee vid here, they are all well known here, if people wanted to watch they would have already.
For the record I'm one who enjoyed watching some of it and wouldn't have seen it if not for this post.

You can see why various car makers are desperate to hold back the tide...they're done for!
Astonishing, isn't it? I looked closely at one of the Qashqai shaped MG's recently on a garage ramp (first MOT) and was suprised at how quietly the petrol engine ran, and how good the paint finish was. Not my thing at all but it looked to be a very well built car.

Jame's new car has arrived, and that is a nice spec!


You mean James sugar daddy's cars arrived. I dont know why this guy never admits these cars arnt his, it wouldnt hurt his views it would help them by being honest. I picked a car up at Porsche Perth last year and 'his' GT3RS was there waiting for collection, the staff there like him but mentioned barely any of the cars he buys are his, they are owned by a long term friend of the dealership who owns lots of units over the road amongst other things.

There’s nothing to admit, that’s why. They are owned by both JWW and his business partner, so there’s zero problems in JWW calling them ‘his’ cars. It’s only psychotically jealous people (TGE being one) that have a long history of trolling the Daddy/Sugar Daddy nonsense. It was TGE who started the whole JWW’s 911 Turbo brochure was bought off eBay, lie. Maybe we should start a convo on how TGE afforded his cars, because that would drop a few jaws to the floor.

That sounds remarkably unprofessional.

I for one am shocked to learn that a used car salesman is not a bastion of truth, rumour-mongering or discretion. frown

I don't think some people here understand what the term 'sugar daddy' means.

I just watched my first 'Harry's Garage', the one in which he drove over Hardknott Pass in a Morgan. Was that typical 'cos it was dull, dull, dull.

Indeed.. like it or not. 'JWW' is a company with two people.. an operator and an investor.

This is like many many other business small and large around the world.

Gave this a listen this morning, it was entertaining as usual, Taylor starting his own channel certainly seems like a business decision to separate him from the main thing. For what it's worth if his channel is more like the V2 stuff he was doing it'll probably be decent
