nope I do like his m3 but not a fan of the integra but I can afford my own m3 if I wanted as for tge I do like him and his videos I just can't understand the point of buying these cars and selling them weeks later if it's not for YouTube as a business model n that was my question! Surely if you're gonna buy a m4 gts and a 720s you're gonna actually get some use out of them or you buy rare cars to flip them for a profit which he says he's not doing so I was saying if you're not doing it for YouTube isn't it pointless losing money on a product you're only gonna use for a few weeks! Surely by the time you've been to the garage spec'd a car then waited for it then go pick it up 99% of ppl would keep it more than 8 week especially if it's the best car out there which was his own words, I personally couldn't live with the hassle of it all
Take the other vloggers they actually go on massive road trips across Europe in there's and film it that I can understand but I don't understand why tge does it unless he just enjoys ordering cars picking them up and then getting rid for something new every few week, so I'm not hating on tge I was asking what the point was unless he was doing it as a businessman model which I could then understand
Probably to drive them for a few weeks and make a little bit of money in the process.

But by his own admission he loses money in most cases which is why I said I could understand if he was making a massive premium, like the 675lt weren't they commanding a £100k premium? Now that's smart business to buy one when they came out and flip it I'd have thought a launch edition 720s would surely command a similar premium Edited by lee_fr200 on Friday 25th August 19:15
In related news, Motor Trend have announced the signing of Jethro Bovingdon to host their 'Ignition' and 'Head 2 Head' shows.
(I believe that former 5th Gearers Timothy Needell and Jonathon Smith are also doing a show for MT focussing on cars unavailable on the American market - but I've not seen it mentioned anywhere other than their own social media).

I get about 20 friend requests on Facebook a day on average. I can only imagine what the other guys get. Shmee and TGE will probably confirm, there's no end to people wanting to be your friend.
How was I arrogant?
Can't remember now tbh mate but it was like I'm too good to talk to the likes of you attitude and no I don't know you I wasn't even on corsa c lol I was like oh ok then lol I was sending you the request simply as I'd met you and we were on the same forum and had the same mutual friends lol didn't want to be a fanboy lol, and I was gonna ask about the ring trips as well but livesey has since given me some valuable info but I am looking at places to stay as I've never been and it's something I want to doHow was I arrogant?

Because his content is a loss leader for his business. It doesn't matter if he loses a few grand because the amount of subs he converts into customers makes up for it.Take the other vloggers they actually go on massive road trips across Europe in there's and film it that I can understand but I don't understand why tge does it unless he just enjoys ordering cars picking them up and then getting rid for something new every few week, so I'm not hating on tge I was asking what the point was unless he was doing it as a businessman model which I could then understand

This is presumptious btw given he combines workout videos and car videos and owns a gym related business.

Decent that, I'm pretty sure he's the Koenigsegg test driver or something? I think I met him last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXAUne9AKSo&t=...

Lee, you're really pissing everywhere aren't you? You're like my puppy, except he has scope for improvement.
Change of topic lads.
Will any of you YouTubers (looking at you in particular Shmee) ever own something above the supercar level? Perhaps a nice 1500 horsepower weapon from a little Swedish village called Angelholm? Or any of the Holy Trinity?

Schmee is getting a Koenigsegg, confirmed here on PH first!!
It would be incredible.I strongly believe that Christian is one of the world's great men. To start up your own company at 22 and within the space of twenty years be right at the top of your field is truly impressive. It's crazy to think that the company has less than 100 employees and not only competes with, but beats, global car giants such as Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche.
Truly amazing.

That's what i'd do and I think you should instead of just sitting in your McLaren in a carpark in London and masturbating onto a rolex.
So I need to avoid any TGE vids with the title ‘Just put a deposit down on a Rolex’. I try to avoid his vids anyway, but I did somehow click on his latest, where he ‘locks’ the spec on the Huracan. Does he want us to believe that all happened 5 weeks ago, just to avoid the accusation of copying another cars spec? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D3_wmiekqQGassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
