How long before TGE sells the Lambo? I've read on here he's also ordered a Carrera T. Another hard-to-get-hold-of car that will no doubt be sold in 3 weeks like the M4, 720S.....

Of course he does, one quick google and you can clearly see he is the owner of a pretty well established business in the fitness industry, I knew of LDNM before TGE... )Blink982 said:

Lots of different cars is all the majority of channels have to offer .te. Did they actually go anywhere as I kind of missed the point? How long before TGE sells the Lambo?

Say he kept his lamb for a year people would be bored of seeing it and stop watching it , they have to keep changing cars.
Even something more indepth like harry's garage still offers a constantly rotating selection of cars.
Channels like dannydc2 and chris drift offer something slightly different because there cars break and then you see them trying to fix/improve them , when was the last time shmee/stg etc had a car off the road due to a fault?

He is one of that majority.
YouTube commenters though frequently assume that anybody who works in The City is in fact a UK Jordan Belfort

That's the crux of the matter. We see spec'ing videos and then a collection surrounded by a bunch of kids and then it's sold. If you're lucky you might get a video driving around Mayfair. What's the point? At least Schmee and STG use their cars.Say he kept his lamb for a year people would be bored of seeing it and stop watching it , they have to keep changing cars.

That was a quite a turnout for TGE’s Lambo collection - the dealership looked packed full of schoolkids.
It's not just me that was cringing whilst I skipped through that video? A few dozen kids recording with their phones (in portrait mode FFS), and a few dozen grown men all fawning over him and the car, in one frenzied, social media-fuelled circle-jerk of hipster beards and padded jackets.
There was a conspicuous absence of anyone who looked like Lamborghini employees, and I can't blame really them
Fair enough if it gets the views, for TGE, but that made me feel quite uncomfortable. It must be a Millennial thing.

Agree with you here, to a certain extent. TGE has clearly built a large following, very quickly. IMO it's great that he's sharing his well deserved success with them.A few dozen kids recording with their phones (in portrait mode FFS), and a few dozen grown men all fawning over him and the car, in one frenzied, social media-fuelled circle-jerk of hipster beards and padded jackets.

However, if I was fortunate enough to be picking up a brand new Aventador S, I don't think I'd want so much chaos and so many people. I guess when you're collecting these cars fairly regularly they don't quite become as much of an occasion.
Either way, what a car.

You do realise that was all for show right? It's for the video, which brings yet more followers. Tom already saw the car - he freely admitted that it had already been to Topaz for the satin PPF. So he'd already had his private receiving of the car and all the excitement of that. This was for the fans and the views.However, if I was fortunate enough to be picking up a brand new Aventador S, I don't think I'd want so much chaos and so many people.

He admitted in the video he was very nervous going up there - the level if exposure he's getting certainly doesn't sit naturally with him I don't think, he's quite a private person normally.

No wonder he was nervous. I find it a bit strange but lots of fans will be happy so that’s the main thing...
Looking at some of the people there, and now knowing it "was all for show", it makes me even more uneasy!!! Dear Tom,
you still ain't called or wrote
I hope you have a chance
I ain't mad, I just think it's fxxxed up you don't answer fans
If you didn't want to talk to me outside the showroom
You didn't have to....

By inviting them they feel a little bit like there inside his world , the flip side is he has to let them in but it's a trade off , a loss of some privacy for more viewers.
Of course if you head out for a meal with the mrs and your crowded by these fans what do you do ? tell them to f
k off and bang there go your subscribers.Beefmeister said:

It's a business, he needs the fans to feel engaged to feel closer to the 'celebrity'. These younger guys look up to these YouTubers, just because you don't doesn't mean either of you is wrong.
