Don't get me wrong, never in my wildest dreams did I think this would all be possible through this venture, but it's take a ridiculous amount of work along the way behind the scenes.

The GT3 was actually pretty simple; UK dealers there was just no chance so I went into a few European mainland dealers and eventually found one that had a few empty allocations and I was just the next deposit holder on their list. I appreciate that through the nature of my travelling it gives me the ability to actually do that kind of thing but anybody else could have had the car I will now have.
That's the awesome thing about living in the EU, you basically have so many dealers you can pick from. Here in Canada and even the US allocation is all but gone to current GT owners or VIP customers. I also read that Porsche is warning dealers about customers who flip the cars within the first year. Anyone caught will be black listed and dealers will lose future allocations for GT or limited cars. I've also read that some dealers are doing phone interviews with potential customers to see if they're worthy enough to own the 991.2 which is beyond ridiculous.

What's the current situation with the Perfomante in the UK/EU? Is allocation still available?

I suppose your right. In fairness, the GT3 would have required a fair bit of Porsche investment. But I see your point. Good luck to you. I’ve watched a few of your videos and it’s patently clear you carry yourself as someone who thinks you can’t believe you’re living the dream.

Thanks for clarifying. I recall, it was a left hooker. I can imagine the hours you must put in. Keep it up. Cheers

Correct, mine is a LHD car that will live on a German reg at my flat in Frankfurt, so makes sense anyway.

Seb Delanney has uploaded a reaction video to ThatMartiniGuy "exposed" upload.

Just as I'd finished watching that, TMG uploaded a similar video focusing on Archie Hamilton. Some of the language and accusations against some Youtubers seemed pretty extreme, and sure enough found that it had been taken down this morning.

This is how it started with Tupac and Biggie and we all know where that ended.

Gangster wrappers....

Last night's video crossed the line big time, I think it's a delicate game being that outspoken between what's funny and what's legally wrong.

Did Seb forget about the red bar that shows when you've already watched videos?

I actually watched the 'reaction video' last night and did not notice that, fantastic.

A fairly cringe worthy bit of viewing for me.

Agreed, there's a difference between poking fun and making slanderous comments. Not cool.

say what you like, Shmee travels a hell of alot for different promo's invites track days etc. How he keeps his enthusiasm up is pretty amazing, aswell as scheduling all the uploaded to conflict less with SOL/STG/MRJWW etc I know he has a time, but now understand why he is drafting in a team of presenters.

Fair play.

Yes, he has said he was threatened with legal action, "even though it is littered with disclaimers saying it is a joke" (sic)

He took things way too far IMO.

From memory, the video ended with a diss track which accused Archie, TGE and Seb of lewd acts against boys.

Happy to be corrected, I can't quite remember the exact phrasing, but I do remember it was uncalled for and undid any good points that he may have made, and has damaged his reputation going forward.

amongst the jokes about clickbaiting and saying the same things on repeat, it touched a bit far on libellous 'joke' accusations of crimes etc.

Are Seb and Archie part of your management co Tim?

I know a number of car YT'ers are represented by them (though not Paul and Sam anymore)
