A couple of years ago a husband and wife both won a BOTB car within the space of six months!
Yeah the husband won an aston and the wife a big merc, jammy! I am a bit jealous.
A while back a guy won an AMG GT followed by a Cayenne Turbo a few weeks later. He's the reason you can't play for a year after winning now biggrin

Some people just have a natural talent for talking into a camera / engaging an audience, whereas for some it appears so forced and ends up hugely cringeworthy to watch.

TGE is, in my humble opinion, very much in the former camp and his latest video cements this for me: https://youtu.be/qhaNJMAZxJw

Nerd question if I may?

TGE, did your 720S come on the MC marked road version of the Pirelli P Zero? (ie not the Trofeo or Corsa variant)

TGE what's going on with you and Anish + Calwoo? Cal isn't editing your vids anymore and is doing Anishs. Also been no further collabs etc between you and Anish.

Rivalry vibes?
I'm guessing Anish isn't driving a 720S and 488GTB via his 2 companies (1 dormant and 1 negative net worth...)...why do youtubers with unexplained wealth always pretend they're property developers or traders? laugh

I have put some space between us. No further professional relationship going forward with either.
No rivalry on my side. That's it from me.

Coolio!

I mainly asked because I remember one of your first videos was you going with Anish to put down a deposit at McLaren for the 720S so found it a bit odd that now you both have just had them delivered and there's been no content together.

Anyway, keep up the good work! More content with the M4 pls.

Yeah property developers and traders...I'm a trader myself and a few of these instagram/youtubers seem to be self proclaimed FX gurus, all appears a bit wishy washy tbh

This seems another of his: https://www.instagram.com/thetraderacademy_officia... Is this the same sort of thing as Trading 212? I like his no-nonsense vlog style, but now I'm not so sure about his intentions...

My best guess would be family links to Doctors Chambers Group, but of course that doesn't sell "trading" courses or "hard work pays off" on social media frown

Nice to see someone is prepared to put morals before money thumbup

typically you pay to do these courses and then supposedly they will show you how to make money...always skeptical of these schemes, if you do have a good trading strategy why would you share it with anyone? Use instagram to promote a certain aspirational lifestyle and there are plenty of people who will hand over their money in pursuit of that

Just had a quick catch up/binge watch of the latest TGE videos and as AOK mentioned Tom is really natural in front of the camera and this seems to be as he is just being himself, not trying to fit some mold or try and make it seem businessy where you're being influence in a way by promoted brands, etc. and that works really well and he comes across as a top bloke

One of the videos I watched today was when his brother picked up his Huracan and the way it flows is great as it's how it's happened, not some curated and managed production of X happens here then Y is here; naturally evolving content is much more engaging than scripted to my mind

Won't speak for above subject here, but have found easiest way people hide being gifted large sums of cash via family is by saying they, (bedroom) trade and/or are a property developer. Explains them seemingly endlessly faffing around during the week/working hours but procuring supercars from every orifice. Ten a penny on social media.

Salomondrin's video was the best, I swear he just walked around an empty unit saying the word "business" over and over.

"We do some business here. We buy a place. Make some business stuff. Sell it for a business profit. Business."
