I hear the Police are going to possibly create a team to view third party video footage of driving where offences may have been committed? I’m wondering what impact, if any, it might have on some of the YT’ers that use public highways?
Where have you heard that? Sounds like a load of bks

I know of several people who have been to court because someone has filmed what they were up to (usually mates etc), posted it online, then it has gone to the police.

Generally speaking I think so long as you're not driving like a total wally, you're okay, but I have seen plenty of videos put out that I am not sure I would want to be involved in. It's tricky - very tricky. EVO, Top Gear, etc... have given us this expectation that every sports car should spend every moment sideways.

I have been pulled by a police officer once who recognised my car when I was a fair way from home with it - so I know there's at least one watching my videos!

It was on the news earlier today. They were talking about a proposal to set up a specific department to use video footage from the public / third party. I think (and am not 100% as I was doing other things) it is in relation to a recent Government Safety Revue? I'll have a look and see if I can find any more detail but just thought someone else may have heard it?

Does anyone else follow Garage 54? The Russian guy who swaps car wheels for springs, makes wooden pistons, or wooden brake pads just to see what happens? He's the antithesis of the usual car youtubers


He's now got a Ford Ka with the back end chopped off, and replaced with a single pivoting wheel. It looks incredibly dangerous, but a lot of fun - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z65fNqT9EVE

That's a MasterMilo creation, he's created some pretty insane stuff in the past!

Hoonigan did the same with an old Volvo a few months back.

Given the number of police whose sole job is to police potential hate crime on social media I wouldn't be surprised if this is true.

They were talking about a portal that already exists for the public to submit dash cam video, but also using social media posts that document offences like dangerous driving. The example they cite was of an HGV driver watching a football match but if a designated department is formed it would clearly look for literally any offences.

Looks like Anishvin has offloaded the Performante and the GT3 RS, and hinted at values maybe taking a hit soon on the Performante anyway. I guess its all ok when you have an 812 and a SVJ coming in to replace cool

I just have zero interest in watching his videos, he has the personality of a wet flannel. He could have a sodding Chiron arriving and the delivery would still barely register any excitement on his face.

Of course he's going to say that, the reality is he can't afford to keep both and get the SVJ and 812. I'll be shocked if the SVJ will stick around once he gets his 812.

Isn't the reality that it's actually his dad's money anyway?

No - he has made a bundle from trading the markets.

Honest.

That of course is why he sells “training” and affiliate links to his thousands of “how can I be like you” 15 year old followers .

The upper end is fairly accurate on socialblade, he's probably seeing towards £2cpm so he could easily be financing an M4 from youtube assuming he's got the rest of his living expenses covered by normal work.

His sub growth is better than any of the other UK youtubers (ignoring Tim of course)
