Tim, you (or your car) appeared fleetingly in an 'Auto Addiction' video enjoying touristfahrten in the GT3, couple questions if I may?

https://youtu.be/wamV5lkLopU?t=7m46s

Blue STI overcooks into Brunnchen and you and a couple others have to take avoiding action. It does appear you have a 'pack' of cars chasing you, does that happen a lot when you head out? Joe mentioned a similar issue when he was driving the GT8 on the road trip.

Secondly, where was the rear plate? It was bearing the number, just looked like a bit of paper stuck on!

Thirdly, good to see it getting driven like it's supposed to. Not a garage queen clap
I was passenger in the GT3 at that moment, Robert from Apex was driving (his first time ever driving a Porsche as it happens). However I did get 5 laps or so myself in the afternoon and given the weather and being a Sunday, it was exceptionally busy.

It is without a doubt that when I go out, people seem to give chase as if they are trying to be in the video. I'm assuming it will go down substantially as I do more and more laps so it becomes the norm rather than something to chase. What you heard from Joe happened in a big way when we took out the 4 cars together as a slow-pace group lap where we got totally swarmed.

The rear plate is a story and a half... coming up in tomorrow's video however the car is now on a totally different registration!

I picked the GT3 up exactly 14 days ago and in that time it has already done a road trip, 8 laps of the Nordschleife, a GP track session, 280km/h+ on the Autobahn and been driven by about 5 different friends. These things are supposed to be driven right?!

Never seen these children before but how the feck do they get 7.1 million subscribers and what would that pay them each month?

There is no direct payment or earnings for having a subscriber number, Tanner is getting around 50m views a month which is the relevant thing to look at.

The answer though, is lots and lots.

Ahh, yes, I didn't think to check views. 50M a month? Wow, it's a very strange world indeed.

From the LFA reader's car thread (read it, it's epic and 2manycars is a top, top bloke)

2manycars started his own fledgling channel and recently reviewed the M2. His co-driver is quite clearly a black man.
Ahhh, excellent thread, just caught up. hehe

Tim have you thought about moving or making content available on twitch?

The big thing at the moment for a number of YouTubers is set up over in Twitch and secondly start playing Fortenite...

I was thinking more of a podcast type product than live driving vlogs

As a result of this thread I watched a video by DMO. Riding a motorbike in shorts without a helmet. With a bit of casual homophobia thrown in. I will not bother again.

Maybe being one excuses him wearing one?

Surely only a matter of time before DMO gets his collar felt?

Repeated motoring offences including speed, carelessness, driving in a vehicle whilst drugs are taken, no seatbelt, no helmet on a bike all blatantly on camera.

Thing is for all of his street G persona he’s from a nice middle class family in Brum.

You don't have to wear a helmet in Florida.

That and him laughing in the background upon Sam telling us about his 90 Euro car wash....
You have a 'dream car' and you let someone else wash it??
He could've filmed himself doing it...whole new little niche to fill.

90 Euros.... yeesh....

Same. Every time he pops up on YT I die inside a little bit more.

Just watched Schmee lapping the ring in his GT3. The engine in that thing is just incredible. Such an amazing car. You can keep your Lambo's etc, that is about as good as it gets and I'd like one in white and a Noble M600 please
