The personal insults towards Paul on here piss me off if honest. He's a genuine, hard working bloke trying to make a living, and has spent YEARS building up to where he is now, from nothing. All he does is provide free content, that tens of thousands love - you don't have to watch.
We've all said stupid things, but he's no idiot in my book - he's the one in Spain in an Aston Martin right now while most of us are sat at desks, with a boss in our ear, waiting for 5pm.

On a similar note, a reasonably high profile McLaren F1 owner was picked up by a grammar Nazi recently on IG. His simple response was along the lines of "So I didn't get great grades in English, but where's your F1?"

This is Britain.

Where the green-eyed monster rules.

At the risk of appearing brown of nose, I don't quite get why there's so much hate (as I believe the kids are calling it nowadays?) towards people who make these little films for the YouTube? It's easy, even for a computer novice like myself, to simply not click play or click on something else all together. I must admit I quite like the YouTube and have found all manner of nonsense to entertain.

I've just asked my local bar if I can be their influencer. Even offered to buy a selfie stick.

Not interested.

They have no idea what they are missing. Even bought tippex for my teeth to be like Archie.
You forgot to wear the skin tight clothing and work on the butt pose i hear. School boy error tbh

This sort of thing....

Did anyone see the latest video by youtubegasm6969? I watched all 11 minutes of it, and it was terrible, I can't see how anyone could watch such rubbish.

I'm off to watch all the rest of his videos so I can come back here and complain about how bad he is and express my disbelief that anyone would spend time watching those videos.

Watched Salomondrin for a bit, laughed along at him and his mates while they got high parked up in a Tesla talking st about cars, then he fell out with his mates, branched off on his own and my interest dwindled massively. The rest...meh.

He also said that when he made his mind up to buy an F1 he sourced his and bought it the same day. Unthinkable to be able to do that today.

Is anyone else having issues with the new YouTube and it's comments? Mine are jumbled all over the shop. I'm watching someone else's video at the moment and I'm seeing comments from my own video! WTF

No one would sell his F1 today unless he has to.
Jay Leno once said that his F1 was sitting at the dealership for almost a year until he bought it.

Unfortunately too true. It's tall-poppy syndrome matched with ignorance. It does make PH more than a bit infuriating to read at times

It's not just YouTuber's though is it, it's the internet in general, tbh PH can be as bad as the rest. Take the old Top Gear thread and then the Grand Tour thread on here, same people every single week declaring how crap it was, repetitive content etc , yet every single week they would watch it and come back here posting the same crap. Some people just seem to have sod all else better to do than moan, pretty sad really.

Mansory Bentayga video Tim, where you mention a two month packed schedule of flights/drives/events every second day!

Hope you're getting some rest in too. This is the first video where the tiredness is literally showing on your face.

At what point would you decide to take a break from all the madness?

I know... looks truly awful. I'm seeing him with the R8 on Wed for work stuff, will make sure to give him a slap. But..... he did say it was going to be awful and just for lolz, clicks and comments so it's no surprise.

In other news, I see Tim hit the autobahn this morning and clocked 201mph in the LT. One in the eye to those who don't use their cars properly!

Ah well that appears to have backfired if the comments on the video are to be believed.

Archie every once in a while produces a decent video, mainly when he is actually showing off the fact that he can drive or has some kind of racing content, but then he just can't help himself and goes and bangs out another one of these ridiculous wrapping videos which must be getting as common as cat videos by now.

Sad, very sad......

It took a lot of preparation; location scouting, prepared the car with dealer, new tyres over inflated, all the camera side, and then up at 6am on a Sunday to do it!



Good fun though! smile

Awful wrap and calipers but I don't expect much when I hear "Dub Customs". They're basically the UK version of West Coast Customs. And the worst wrap is yet to come because Yianni is wrapping his AS with profile pictures of his subscribers.
