Only in Italy could you get away with this.
Sam from STG goes for a pretty quick drive with a cigarette-puffing Joe Macari in the Maserati MC12 race car. Not only does he not have a seat but no belts either. I am not sure if he is being a hero or very stupid, you decide.

I couldn't decide if I would have done this or not, I'm definitely a bit of a loser when it comes to rules and regulations to do things right, and that doesn't look fun.
However, that car!

I think he may regret it:Sam from STG goes for a pretty quick drive with a cigarette-puffing Joe Macari in the Maserati MC12 race car. Not only does he not have a seat but no belts either. I am not sure if he is being a hero or very stupid, you decide.

Oh I agree but if you're gonna buy a car and say you've had ownership experience bloody use it otherwise what's the point 850 miles is just a pointless purchase look at shmee he's not in the same league as woppum either but Christ he does some good road trips in his cars as does Paul Wallace and the others
Hi Lee. Different strokes for different folks. I am not a full time Youtuber so I don't roadtrip for a living. I have a desk/snacks trolley to be chained to every day. Besides, I would still take 8 weeks of use over not owning the car at all. That was the decision I faced when considering whether to cancel the 720S, because it was so late. I get your point to an extent, and believe me I too would love to galavant across Europe in a £250k supercar, but rather strangely, you sound 'butthurt' by me selling my own car for my own reasons. And would a modicum of syntax kill you? My red-lipped batfish.

FFS, what is so difficult to understand? Shmee, Paul Wallace et al have nice cars to attract people to their businesses; cars are the things that make them money. TGE has a full-time day job, co-runs a reasonably sized fitness business as well as a few smaller businesses and spends the fruits of his labour on his passion: cars, which in turn probably help generate a larger audience for his businesses as a nice sideline. I'm amazed he has any time to drive them at all to be honest and £5k to do 850 miles in one of the fastest supercars around at the moment doesn't sound too bad to me; I highly doubt £5k is 20% of TGE's annual earnings

Seem to be lots of folk quoting him at £15k instead of the 5 he clearly said. TGETV said:

Not butt hurt at all just think if someone is going to buy those sorts of dream/poster cars bloody enjoy them and use them for why they were built, I don't know if I could be bothered to go to a launch event (Don't know if you did) then order a car pay a deposit then go pick it up especially with the following you got to then sell it a few weeks later just seems a lot of hassle to say you owned one. in theory I could go buy one today and take it back an hour later saying I changed my mind within the cooling off period and say I owned one! To me it just seems a lot of hassle if I'm honest. I mean what is the point of owning all these cars for weeks at a time just to get rid? If it's literally for YouTube earnings and bragging rights then again seems a lot of hassle to turn on a bunch of blokes!l on the internet! In all honesty how long you going to keep the lambo? Also what is your day to day regular car that you haven't sacked off after a few weeksAnd would a modicum of syntax kill you? My red-lipped batfish.

Please, on behalf of all of us here on this forum, go into McLaren tomorrow, buy a 720s, (or any supercar that takes your fancy) and return it an hour later citing a change of mind. Also Youtube the whole thing. ThanksTGETV said:
No, he has to buy it. I'll now sit back and await the upload.
U know what I could actually afford the payments but not the initial deposit required I'm in the middle of saving for a second house to rent out as I'm paying cash for it hence for me I'm 10yrs away from supercar ownership as I should be buying the house for cash in the next 24 month then another 12 month later then another 12 month after that currently banging money away is more important than cars atmlee_fr200 said:
