There is a follow up video now live, he says in it he got a grand for the video (although how much he declares then to the tax man...)

Surprised he even got that much, YouTube views don't pay as much as people think when you consider how few people watch the Ads and then YouTubes cut.

Always the passenger that pays the price. The seatbelt ripped and she ended being thrown into the trees from the car.

 

Its all well and good saying no speed limit or copying youtubers like autotopnl but not much can save you losing it at 186 mph 

 

I saw one with a 2018 E class convertible showing off in Russia. A risky overtake, could have gone into the grass but tried to recover it. Went straight into the back of a lorry. Both man and woman instantly dead. 

 

Since when does a 23 year old have enough experience to drive a McLaren sensibly on an autobahn. Another lightweight high power supercar in the hands of rich kid

Mclaren seem to think Lando Norris has enough experience, at 18 years of age

If anyone has Netflix, have a look at the documentary Fyre - bloody hell, astonishing that it actually happened!

Watching now, what a disaster!

Oh, you mean the thread link? I just scanned through the meets section and copied the URL to it, not sure why you cannot open it?

Yeah, I've noticed before i couldn't open it when navigating to it myself too. Strange.

Stood in that car park in the middle of that little village, car up on ramps, fluid pumping out everywhere with Chirag arguing with the AA that it was his car  Ended up parking it in a car park for a week in aberdeen or something didn't you?! 

 

As an aside, note to all, full cover with AA or RAC including recovery and courtesy car is about £50 for the week all in 

 Yes, left it inverness for 2 weeks, only for it to break again in under a month as they ballsed up the fitting 

Noted about the breakdown cover for next time

I will admit I am umming and urring, would need to get it past the missus after taking 8 days off this year to drive across Europe! 

 

At least the old Celica will have new top mounts on it after one decided to collapse on that trip!

You've got a few months to charm her round! 

I'll be bringing something without a clutch this time, hopefully that'll avoid me having the same problem as before

Yep, my 2013 335i is missing a dipstick, I'm not a fan

How can a 1M be one of the most sought after cars out there but a 135i "looks like a shoe"?
