Loved his recent video on the L322 Range Rover. Nice to watch a video by an adult that actually knows his mechanics and doesn't just buy/wrap/go to mcdonalds'/sell.

Check out savage geese then

I think the original question posed in this thread has now been answered - looks like SOL is getting in on the snake-oil sales:

Me too, both of the ones I've had required new Transfer Boxes, surprised he didn't mention these in the video as it's a well known fault.

The key to avoid breaking anything on a Range Rover is not to use it. That includes not unlocking it or opening any doors.

Basically what I'm saying is if you leave it sat on your drive with the battery disconnected it's incredibly reliable and doesn't break down. Actually leave it in a de-humidified garage. No, actually, put it in a sealed clean room. Inside a faraday cage. in an NCB bunker.Then it'll be fine. Maybe.

Whilst they have his name wrong, it looks as though Paul is being used to promote a Bitcoin investment opportunity....

Salomondrin’s latest video from the LA Auto Show is great. He’s had his Carrera GT fully resprayed in Porsch Rubystone Red (the ‘pink’ from the 964 RS) after he tried it out with a wrap and it showed the moment where he saw it properly for the first time. Raw emotion, obviously so so happy that he has his dream car. With the new car arrivals he can be a bit blasé, but you see him welling up and just overjoyed, really nice to see.

And even the sheer joy on Buddy/Pedro’s face when he saw Jay Leno’s camera car was fantastic.

I came for the cars, but I stay for the friendship.

Raw emotion because he had his car painted pink? Cringe.

My instinct says that Paul's image is being used fraudulently here but I'll enquire with him and report back.

Edit: In fact the picture with the note looks very clearly photoshopped but I'm not sure what the original was.

Definitely a scam article.

'"I lost my job as a bank teller...'

No one in the UK uses the term 'bank teller' for a start.

[Shmee]

Yep, confirmed as expected, nothing to do with him.

The picture that has been photoshop'ed was actually to do with a Q&A on Car Throttle, they've lifted it and written over.

Similar here although it takes to a page that shows "the best gadgets for your car"

Oh look, another argumentative bellend.

Did you watch the video?

[timrud]

Irony level 6000.

You calling somebody argumentative for just posting an opinion different to yours, which was not aimed at you.

No irony, I said ‘another’ argumentative bellend. I was including myself.

. Seriously though - I just can’t ever imagine getting emotional about paint, even if it was on a Carrera GT.
