Just unbelievable.

Yeah, but no.
Maybe I'm just getting a bit old, but I'm not sure that putting up videos on Instagram of his students doing their lessons, regardless of how fucking awful they are, is the right thing to do. It doesn't matter that he's blurred their faces a little, they're easily identifiable anyway.

I may have mentioned previously but in my test, I made a right turn instead of the left the tester had instructed.
Guess I was just stressed and nervous. The right turn was harder than the left and I executed it, albeit in the wrong direction, perfectly. Besides, I think the tester had already decided I'd passed at that point.

It's something to do with the algorithm that people are trying to manipulate. You'll see it when people put up clips that include movies, or celebs, or even brands, it gives some lengthy, partially relevant AI slop underneath. As mentioned, thankfully it's collapsed and not visible most of the time....

I wonder how much they spent on fuel, servicing, and other consumables (tyres etc) to cover 175k Kms in a Chiron?

According to the WLTP figure I can find, it is 25.19L/100km, so... Quite a lot.
About 44,191 litres. Call it £70-71k at the pump, assuming they're filling up with premium.
