BMW demand full payment from Youtuber
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I called up Nissan and they just said to me warranty wont cover exhaust The dealer had no issue with backbox delete. They knew. I told them everything else was standard and no tunes or messing with the engine. Also I made sure outstanding was settled.....Its still a mod but not a pisstake like adding methanol injection and hybrid turbos. That definitely breaches the terms and diminishes the value of the car. Also the car was sold with the standard exhaust anyway. So the new owner has nothing to worry about in terms of warranty etc I guess thats why I liked the Short Tails. Didnt need much modification and a 10 minute job -

Sounds like a plan. Get a car that all the youngsters and banksters aspire to get. Do some mods and get people watching, build subscribers and views. Sell quickly and move onto the next highly desirable car. -

Life experience or know how, maybe you could advise a younger person in a similar situation whos modifying on similar deals. Have you checked your terms and conditions etc. Youve got more experience of the situation. That's what I meant. -

lol, we all make mistakes. All part of learning. There are other youtubers who do the same thing on similar deals. Whether they can or cannot read is up for debate. Well im sure his experience will educate others. -

GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Its all related because hes asked to give back the car which gets repossessed this week if he cant pay. Point is its not as simple as not reading small prints. Its also inexperience. Hence the situation arising. Either way he still owes £60,000+ as a result of modifying and breaching contract. How he was "funded" plays a part on his terms of contract the way it was purchased. He can raffle it, sell it and try make up the rest I guess. On a different deal this may not be viral.... -

BMW demand full payment from Youtuber
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Kids are extremely impatient these days. Whats wrong with even waiting till your premiums are reasonable let alone the earnings to buy a £60,000 car. Definitely an eye opener. A lot of comments are stating he should have gone to the bank. I cant see a bank giving £60,000 loan that easily especially if you have little to no substantial credit history. Even the earnings, but everyone's situation is very different. -

crazy, the modifications are beyond what most people would do. I dont think they would have cancelled if he didnt drive like a maniac and make so many changes. ie an exhaust etc. He also financed via main dealer. Most dealers would specify the same no modification conditions. But then no mods mean no mods. Especially on PCP. His YouTube mates are financing through third parties TRL deals and other specialists. Not via BMW even so it would be agreed beforehand. -

Weather looks okay. Will be cloudy, 17 degrees a bit cooler than last year. Fortunately will miss the rain due for Friday and Sunday instead . Still a 50% chance of rain.

The front headlights on the BRZ post 17 are nice with the daytime running lights. But the blue edition on Toyotas side is very tempting too. Apparently the BRZ has a stiffer front suspension so its flatter through corners. Speaking of chargers. They say 290hp is a safer zone for the engine. I guess Fensport in Cambridge would know or Litchfield. Subaru blue or Toyota blue edition? I think Subaru has the better interior and front headlights! But that blue edition from Toyota!!

The problem with increasing tech in cars...
GranTurismoEra replied to coldel's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Lets see what the Porsche Taycan can do at £60,000-£90,000 price. Looks quite nice. My brother wants to trade his 911 for it. Give it a few years the novelty will wear off and he,ll be back in a 911. -
very nice, enjoy!!

Fiat/Chrysler merger with Renault collapses
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
China have 5 different brands with electric cars ready to hit their own local market and dominate. Nissan have set up office there hoping to get some pie. Wont be easy though -
https://jalopnik.com/nissan-might-have-played-itself-1835060715 As Renault move to start a merger where will Nissan be in all of this. It would diminish their role in an already unequal partnership that Renault dominates. Apparently Nissan arent interested in mergers for the sake of volume sales. That probably explains their painfully slow product refresh. Not sure what their strategy is. If this deal goes ahead it would be Fiat Chrysler Renault Nissan Mitsubishi and various sub companies all in a group with Daimler as a partner. Apparently Nissan has less shares in Renault than Renault have in Nissan. Also where does that leave Daimler Nissan alliance after the arrest of Carlos Ghosn. Many projects have been put on hold. Although projects like Mercedes X class and use of Nissan engines in some Mercedes have already been completed. Shared designs of Infiniti and Mercedes models in the last few years. It might be time for Nissan to move in a different direction. The high cost of electrification and stiff competition is probably whats keeping Nissan in this Renault alliance. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-daimler-boss-could-end-renault-nissan-partnership

Infiniti quietly pulls the plug on the Q60 in UK
GranTurismoEra replied to hmale4yu's topic in Other Cars
when watching these reviews its not the most appealing car. Also drive by wire is what you want to avoid. Fortunately not all are equipped with this. Have you noticed the new CLA and CLS rear tail lights share similarities to the q60. More so the new CLA -

GranTurismoEra replied to coldel's topic in Off Topic Discussion
if this is the future give me a one way ticket to a third world republic where I get to keep my petrol car. If chose to one day go electric or get a flying car the bureaucracy and laws wont hinder me in any way ie pilots license for my flying car and other taxes or extra charges due to strain on the grid from charging -
