Who is he, and why is he "famous"?

The correct answer wins a (faulty) sticker.... biggrin

Thanks for that.

He's certainly prolific.

I managed to view a whole minute and thirty three seconds of one of the videos, right up to "This weeks wrist-watch check"....

I think you may have missed the all important quotation marks around the word famous Paul ...

My attention was brought to them in another thread on the PH Porsche forum, someone linked to their YT review of the new 718 Spyder. It was utterly cringeworthy (as are all their productions, and indeed the vast majority of the material produced by self professed "video reviewers" on YT ...) I think it's safe to say the The Car Guys infamy is well deserved smile

Aha! That's why he's familiar! We have met before, I think, at a track day. Which explains it. Thank you.

QED - definitely recognised the face but not the name. Again. And PHer so definitely important too.

Speaking of which, is the guy in the yellow down jacket a PHer. I saw him when I was in the queue fro coffee and thought I recognised him. I am cursed with the combination of great memory for faces and an atrocious memory for names, so I that 50:50 whether I ought to say "Hi" and explain that, or not bother and risk being thought an ignorant and unfriendly bd.

I thought he might be 'one of us' but if he was just a YouTuber then I can rest easy.
Hi Digga, at least it’s just your memory and not your eyesight as I didn’t even see you in the coffee queue - but that’s understandable at my age.

We met at Donnington last summer - really good track day - a fair few of PH people there - I was having some much needed tuition.

Very tricky to remember names etc as everyone has a mostly “virtual” relationship and it’s further complicated by a pseudonym - I’m bad enough with real names and faces at the best of times smile

Re you tube - wouldn’t even know how to post a video, never mind have an account frown
