Lols. 720S at Redline isn't actually mine. Just a coincidence and a bit annoying as I was about to try and sell mine very soon anyway. *(more on that another time)
I'll be at Blenheim Palace in mine in a couple of weekends time though, for Salon Prive on the Saturday, and for BCS on the Sunday. Come say hi, as the car will be on the concours for SP & I'll prob be hanging around near it.
Re any Instagram rustling - we are just teeing up for some Youtube 'diss tracks'. Just a bit of clever publicity. Maybe. Possibly.
So how many weeks from collection to adverting for sale? Can't be more than 4?I'll be at Blenheim Palace in mine in a couple of weekends time though, for Salon Prive on the Saturday, and for BCS on the Sunday.

Here is a rather interesting one of him reviewing a 560bhp M135i

Solid production, and I love the fact a 74 year old owns a 560bhp M135i. Legend. Future goals.Here is a rather interesting one of him reviewing a 560bhp M135i

Won't end up having it long, but that's because I have other car/s coming (early) and the 720 was nearly 2 months late.So be it. Not ideal as won't have used the car as much as I wanted but I won't lose any sleep.

Makes the whole looking forward to getting cars and collection vids and everything else abit pointless then doesn't it, all seems fake like running it simply as a business! Id much rather watch ppl enjoy a car but you can't rly say you've had good ownership experience rly! So be it. Not ideal as won't have used the car as much as I wanted but I won't lose any sleep.
Think I'd love to see ppl like Andy or woppum start a YouTube channel showing exactly what ownership experience is like

Also his Corsa c will be faster than all these supercars anyway A to B so maybe he should do a video on that...

No. No it it doesn't. In this case I will have the car far shorter than ever intended, in fact I never really intended to have one at all.Think I'd love to see ppl like Andy or woppum start a YouTube channel showing exactly what ownership experience is like
I will do a video explaining what happened. But everything is genuine; the purchase, the excitement and the, (cut short) enjoyment of ownership. Doesn't matter that I haven't been able to keep it my whole life and fill a stable full of other exotica to join it.
I'm doing what many others in my fortunate position would be doing and sharing it with people. I really cannot stand the sniping. If I want to chop and change, I will.
The 720s I won't make a penny on; coupled with finance interest, opportunity cost of the cash, insurance, storage and ppf costs - hardly a business. In fact it may even go below list to a dealer. Which is fine by me as I've been able to experience, (IMO) one of the best cars ever made. Yes my Youtube probably benefitted, but you could probably buy a book of stamps with the tangible benefit from the purchase of the 720s alone.

If you have the same vlogger driving the same car possibly wrapping it then it's going to get boring , hence why they have to keep chopping and changing so they have something new to actually video.
Is the whole vlogging era fake ? it doesn't matter , as a consumer you either enjoy what there putting out and keep watching or you stop watching , it's the vloggers who have to chase viewers to keep there channels alive.

I don't know because take shmee his isn't rly stale and he puts some miles on his cars, while he does swap and change he seems to get a lot of use and covers road trips in them,If you have the same vlogger driving the same car possibly wrapping it then it's going to get boring , hence why they have to keep chopping and changing so they have something new to actually video.

Tge for example has bought the m4 gts and the 720s and it seems like they are both to be sold within weeks of getting them, to me that's not normal and makes the actual purchase pointless to my eyes unless you're hoping to make a decent premium which tge says he's not!
So in my eyes completely pointless

You and I only have to decide to watch or not watch nothing more nothing less , if the vlogger pisses his audience off then they stop watching and his views/subs go down as does the money he receives .
I couldn't give a s
t if Tge goes out a buys another Mclaren then wraps it pink and gives it away , it's his money so nothing to do with me.lee_fr200 said:

Having to hold my tongue a bit here. I am not a full time Youtuber. I work 6/7 days a week to scrape together to afford what I want, & enjoy them in my own way when I have time.

Consider: If I gave you a 720S for a couple of months, you wouldn't bother driving it because 2 months is a 'pointless' amount of time? No enjoyment or excitement would be derived from that? Horsepoo.
I really don't understand the mentality - I'm putting out content with the car, for free, for people to, (hopefully) enjoy, yet still you still have an issue because it's not how in an ideal world you would do it? How about you give it a go yourself and see how viable it all is? Bin.

I agree with you completely if he's buying these cars just for YouTube vids and doing it as a business then fair enough I get it but constantly changing cars also goes very stale! I'd much rather see him take the car on a massive road trip and seriously enjoy it and that makes good vids, no doubt his aventador s is only staying for a few weeks too??You and I only have to decide to watch or not watch nothing more nothing less , if the vlogger pisses his audience off then they stop watching and his views/subs go down as does the money he receives .

Well I work 11am 9pm 11 days on and 3 off luckily I do a lot of driving though so like today I'm in my gti I've covered 30k miles in this in 18 month so If I was given a 720s for 2 month over the 3200 miles it would have been on some lovely adventures! Today I'm off Whitby! Those are proper driving roads I wanna see vids like that tbh mate, you get to seriously know a car on a road trip it's quirks all it's little things pootling around with the odd blast isn't an ownership experience I would personally enjoy! Tbh this makes me want to buy a decent camera myself as me and my gti have had some epic momentsConsider: If I gave you a 720S for a couple of months, you wouldn't bother driving it because 2 months is a 'pointless' amount of time?
