hehe that would actually be brilliant, but i see three small issues. I'm fairly sure a slightly fettled MR2 turbo would be as fast as a real 355 very quickly, I'm not sure anyone would like me borrow a real 355 to set a benchmark, and the people who sub to tyre reviews are there for very serious data driven testing. I definitely can't get away with clickbait and vlogging (nor would I be any good at it!)
No I wrapped my tyres videos...
followed by a...why I am selling my tyres!? video....then a video of which new tyres should I get?! and rinse and repeat.
Don't give them ideas! laugh

You joke but covering the tyres branding in big white print on the side has been a thing for a few of the vloggers.

Looks so bad imo, even worse after 2 weeks on the road!

I remember seeing SoL’s M3 and up close the tyre writing was horrendous. Looked okay on video, but in reality it was literally crap rubber letters that seemed to be badly glued on and half peeling off.

Tippex, tyreart style pens, or tirestickers.com seem to be the common ways.

...And when you are applying the Tippex don't forget to say "Its Mayhem , Absolutely Chaos, utterly madness Lad" and something about throwing it in the sea.

In other news, looks like Salomondrin won a lawsuit against McLaren?

That's a troll post, check out his IG. I doubt he's received his insurance settlement yet let alone gone through the litigation process and been awarded damages within 2 months.

There's a video on his site explaining what caused the fire, it'll be on YouTube soon I'm sure.

Good on Archie, he's changing his content slightly and getting some good invites. The R8 V10 looks like a lovely car to own too.

Seems almost un-youtuber-ish to return to the same car you owned previously, the comment sections is in meltdown already!

Tim - you need to put a "I'm getting a Project One" post up somewhere.... just to play along with the "shmeecurse"

If I hadn't read Tim's posts on here i'd think that Salomondrin video was tongue in cheek and he's messing about. He needs to get over himself.

He's blaming karma/curse.

He wanted a Ford GT, was turned down but Tim got one.

He wanted a Senna, initially couldn't get one but got one for overs. Tim releases his collection video, shortly after his burns down.

He gets his wife a new G63, Tim announces he's buying one, 11 days later it breaks down and is going back to the dealer.

He's essentially blaming Tim for his bad luck, worried about his GTR as Tim also has one.

It seems he wants an AMG One but jokes that Tim also has one on order. Tim please make a video of you announcing you've ordered one laugh
