Yeah. And the Cayenne too. I’m not very good at this

He was. Then didn't.

This is why you need that YouTube channel, do a comparison video, then strap them together for a tug of war. The monetisation would hopefully cover the destroyed transmissions

Let's not forget the merch opportunities!

SundayJumper Garage: wine and spanners since 1998 (or whenever you started drinking/spannering).

Honestly thought that Steve would make a good YT channel

Something along the lines of “I bought the cheapest supercar, what’s wrong with it” interspersed with “I bought the cheapest 320d”


Or possibly “I got drunk and bought a Bentley”

That would be a great concept - "Let's give Steve a box of wine, load up eBay and an PayPal account with £5k in it. Come back tomorrow morning to find out what he's bought"

I’d watch it! I haven’t got 5k, so where do I send the wine?

I don't underestimate the amount of work required to film YT content, but in terms of projects/interest, Steve's collection has an awful lot of appeal.

Blimey, just catching up. Nice one Steve, that looks amazing.
lol at not having sold the others first.

Jeez, that does sound bloody good tbh.

Yours is an Autobiography isn’t it? I thought that would mean alcantara headlining and pillars at least. The RRS Autobiography I went in felt nicely plush inside, and I’d always felt an RR is a step up.

Is that right re the A pillars? IIRC they are covered in a fabric material (not alcantara) - I need to double check now!

ETA: are you referring to the bit inside the window that connects to the A pillar and houses the tweeter for the sound system?

The a pillar is this bit:

New evo meet format? Between us we can cobble together the camera expertise, I'll chuck in a couple of bottles* and well, someone else can pitch in £5k.

*why isn't there a wine thread?
