£100K????? eek

Or take the other £40k he's going to waste in parts and labour and buy this.....

But I guess that wouldn't get the big payout from us lot watching his daft antics on YouTube. laugh

£100K though, dear god. Everyman Racing / Supercar Heros saw him coming. whistle

Like you say. Buying a built one wont bring in the revenue this build will

From the stats I have seen since he posted the first video, he has 200k more subs already!

I expect he will earn well over twice if not 4 times what the car and parts cost from the revenue

Just watched his latest video where he’s broken one of the Murcie’s glass headlights. They are an absolute fortune to replace but he says he’s found a plastic replacement lens for a couple hundred quid.
I know what he’s looking at but they are designed to protect the glass and not replace it. He’s going to be disappointed when they arrive bless him

That had to be a set up.

There is no way they couldn't tell the difference between glass and plastic before they started heating/messing around with them.

As for the price,I thought between 50 and 60k.

So these are the lenses he is buying - Looks like someone has moulded some 2mm plastic replacements - The seller themselves however stay they are not for road use and recommend getting OEM for road use scratchchin
