Are these Vloggers just a scam? SOL or Shmee etc? (Vol 2)

A RWD converted Veyron, why not?!

Meh. I did that to a Mk1 Freelander years ago.

(Mind you, that made it FWD.)

I have to decide whether I want to be DannyDC2 or Dan, swinging towards the latter but neither are that fulfilling at the moment. Considering a third way out...

Not Danielle surely?

Joking aside, whatever makes you happy mate. Have you got around to fitting that lower final drive in the E46 yet?

Cool to see Tim lending his cars to Carwow for a drag race to celebrate one million subscribers.

The 720S must have this if it's 1/4 mile, 0-60 the Tesla will kill it.

[Burwood]

720s is quicker for sure. Beats a bmw super bike.

Vlogger is a bit of a bell end tbh.

Not sure why there is too much surprise that the Police are on top considering it is Sloane Street. The Police were a bit too heavy tbh, but apparently there are new rules and car owners were in contravention of them...

[Butter Face]

All those fking idiots cramming that entire street. Weird.

The car club really don't help themselves though - given that the PSPO has been in place for 2 years - http://news.met.police.uk/news/crackdown-on-danger...

If you're going to arrange a London meet, surely a zone where "anti-social and noisy cars" have been heavily targeted in the past, is not the smartest of places to start with. Did they expect some sort of special entitlement so that the rules wouldn't apply?

There are a lot of wealthy and influential residents in the area, I'm pretty certain the police couldn't get away with a turning a blind eye on this, or any, occasion.

Nor should they turn a blind eye. They're making a nuisance of themselves. If it were a proper car meet, they would hold it on private land.

No, this is about showing off and generally being a dick.

I agree completely, hence saying I aren't sure why they are surprised about the Police being heavy.

WTF did they think was going to happen?

Hoonigan are putting out some great stuff at the moment. Enjoyed Stewie's 'year with a 360' and especially like how he didn't use an impromptu meeting with JayKay as a click bait title.

For those of you with widescreen I'm doing something for a well known channel with the E30 soon.

Great series, looking forward to this one!

Very impressed with how quick the standard 330d was on track! I've got a e46 330ci, would like to see how it compared directly with that. Reckon the d might beat it with its superior torque advantage and not being that much down on HP

That track did not play into the power of the M3! We've already filmed up to episode 3 which was wheels and tyres... it's getting interesting

[e30m3Mark]

The touring is always going to be a diesel though.

You look hilariously tall next to Alex

Also, what's with the V10 plate on the M3? Seems an odd choice!

Bought it about 10 years ago in the hope I'd one day own an CGT / LFA.

Still a few quid short so I put it on the M3 to save me the £80 retention fee.

I have V10 OOH on my (3 cyl) motorbike.

I enjoyed watching the episode, nice to put a face to a forum name too. I was very surprised to see how close the e46 was to your car. Will you be weighing both cars to get a direct comparison? It may make the results more believable if there's a huge weight advantage in the 46's favour.
