Are they okay? They keep falling over and making weird noises - I guess they have a fever or something. Oh, and they're wkers. Why would anyone want to watch two children high on sherbet is beyond me.

Here's one for you Tim; spotted this stunning LT outside my office today with a Japanese plate...was there some Mclaren happening in US/Canada? Also spotted a P1 with NY plates.

I think that looks awful. The base car is OK but it looks like a tacky 'celebration' edition in a vile colour and nasty alloys.

[pincher]

I really like that colour

I don´t know a lot about trading and regulations but I´ve heard that every professional trader in the UK can be found by searching him or her on the FCA´s website. I´ve looked for our beloved trading and property development guru and I couldn´t find him. Maybe I made a mistake. If any professional trader or someone who knows more than me could please look it up.

If you are trading through an FCA regulated entity so either a bank or trading firm yes however anyone can start trading FX online given the numerous trading platforms available and it's also a whole lot less regulated than equity or fixed income markets ....some of the online platforms allow for crazy leverage too

It does very much remind me of kids on a sugar rush. All the running around on the spot, bouncing of the walls, random noises. Just a bit odd seeing 20 year olds behaving like that.

My son and i watch Street speed 717 and also Cleetus McFarland on youtube. Ok but every latest blog mentions "merch" for sale. Cant blame anyone for trying to make some money but the word merch is enough to annoy you.

Some very apt comments on anishs latest videos .

Dangerous rhetoric to be banding about how easy it is to become a property developer to what’s presumably a large audience of naive gullible youngsters.

Such YouTubers always remind me of Denholm Reynholm's quote, when he is presenting to shareholders, in the television series The IT Crowd;

Denholm Reynholm said:

When I started Reynholm Industries, I had just two things in my possession: a dream and six million pounds. Today I have a business empire the like of which the world has never seen the like of which. I hope it doesn't sound arrogant when I say that I am the greatest man in the world!

I'm not saying it's easy to create a popular YouTube channel, but having a lot of expendable cash behind you certainly helps!

If you are Vancouver based surely its just a wealthy Far East student that has imported their own car?

Yeah I quite like him too, but he needs to stop shaving - he looks about 12 when he does and honestly it's a little distracting!

Thank you. So Anish was just another bedroom trader who might have made a bit of money or maybe everything was given to him by his family.

He looks 12 and sometimes seem to act it too. He also needs to drop the Casey Niestat influences. He does however seem to have a hell of a networking power to be able to get rides and in some cases drive hypercars.

It's clear that YT isn't paying as well as it was though. The Jeep that had lots of mods planned has had virtually nothing, no doubt thanks to the huge bill he had on the Gallardo changing the clutch.

I have a lot of respect for him though given he was living in his car a few years ago.

Yianny wrapping a yellow 488 race car, sure I've seen it on PH?

Yes he may well have made some cash from GC trading but to run a 488, 720s, Aventador etc he'd have to have a few million in the bank minimum ... or maybe he's just financed himself to the hilt ...but most likely family cash

[BlackLabel]

Anishvin returns his 720s.

[RSbandit]

Whatever about Anish but it seems that there are some serious issues with these cars, If I'd just spent 250k on a 720s and had those issues I'd be pretty pissed off TBH , new model fair enough but it will damage the brand ...same as 12c when it launched you'd think they would learn

[Horsey McHorseface]

I may have missed it, but he didn’t explain, what could only have been oil being burnt, out the exhaust, that we saw at the start. I did wonder about the running-in of his car. He and others seemed to be hooning it around Silverstone, only days/hours after he picked it up. IIRC, that track outing was unplanned, last minute decision. What’s the running-in procedure with a 720S?
