Noticed Danny DC2 has disappeared, I am guessing he has been pulled over being a naughty boy and does not want any evidence online that won’t help his case.

yeah I wonder what happened to him! it's probably higher chance that he just got tired of the youtube trolls.

He did seem to take notice of the comments etc, not every youtuber ignores and is able to ignore them sadly.

I enjoyed his content and I hope he gets back into it!

I would be surprised if it was that, he could simply stop posting new, ignore youtube and just take a bit of money from people watching his video's left in the archive. I honestly think he has been caught as lets be honest he did not used to hang around. Shame as I enjoyed his stuff.

Surprisingly enjoyable video from Archie on his first weekend racing in the Cayman GT4.

This is probably one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while, it is in English subtitles though.

Absolutely brilliant video! It had it all. Great lead character, nice introduction with the box and car reveal, I then really got interested in his lap times, and then the terrible accident, and the mellow second chapter where he regretted that final lap. Amazing.

Also really loved his house!

[Mezzanine]

Great bit of entertainment!

SOL another shocking video. When will he actually have any good video ideas? I'm sure the last couple have all been in dealerships. Need's to get more creative.

Usual format, "buying for girlfriend".. mooching around dealership, "owning" car for a month or so, it disappearing from the channel amongst the usual running through tunnels or having unnecessary mods done to the M2 Competition...

First one of his videos I’ve watched for a long time, mainly because of seeing the dealer

They’ve come an long way from an open lot on the Seven Kings High Road and a load of ropey old Rangies and Shoguns

All wrong'uns from East London move out into Essex sooner or later To their credit, it's a nice dealership, I went to look at an X3 and X5 there a couple of years ago. A little pricey, lots of Xline and SE trims, or low spec MSport.

I wonder the outcome of the video? Can't bring myself to look for any uploads or updates since

[cayman-black]

WTF was that i just watched?

Just watched the whole thing.
Not sure I “got” it, but then maybe I’m looking for something to “get” and it’s a simpler video than that.

280 pages in...to be honest the whole YT car vlogger thing has gone a bit gossip girl / celeb. It's tremendously boring and reminds me of makeup influencer 'hauls' - every few days something new and shiny, just to be tossed away, and if it's not that then the car community is moaning about the individuals involved. I blame YT's algorithm more than anything else though. It prioritises content which helps it sell advertising and let's face it, a lot of content put out now is just an indirect advert or brand building watched by teenagers. Not that I'm the first to moan.

I've been enjoying some back episodes of the behind the glass podcast largely because the two people in it are quite amusing to eat a sandwich to. Harry's Garage because it's like hanging around with that interesting uncle you always wanted.

Davide Cironi has some brilliant videos - especially the EB110. Italian, but subtitled. Proper production values there although he has this Italian man thing of comparing almost all cars to women. She ain't gonna text back, Davide. I've been trying to transition to more mechanical, learning focussed channels and it's much more fulfilling.

Also Jayemm and Henry Catchpole seem to have a disproportionate influence on the Ferrari/Lambo/McLaren-inclined friends I have, who will often text me late at night in a panic if a review has gone the wrong way and they have to then talk themselves out of a deposit.

Just my two cents!

[jayemm89]

I would like to think that anyone who has already placed a deposit on a car of that kind would not be put off by a bad review, even one by me! Plenty of reasons a car I dont like (or Henry) could still be the "right" one for them

Hah, I think it's more a sign of them listening v intently to people like you. In any case I always enjoy watching the vid to see what they are worried about !

Given all the other exotic / expensive stuff he's blown cash on, why has a 911 turbo been so elusive before now? Shirley he could have bought one ages ago if he really did want one since childhood? That said, it's great to see anyone get their dream car, whatever it might be. Mine was my rather more modest E30M3, hence trying to enjoy it while I could. Good to see Jay doing the same with his Ferrari.

Isn’t there doubts about the previous cars being his as well. And this car has the same plate
