I’m afraid I will never know.

If it's something I'm interested in, and the 456 convertible is, then I mute him and turn on the subtitles.

There may be a couple of posters on here who will find this interesting

I know it was hardly scientific, and know they were all pretty sheddy to start from from the purchase vid, but would have liked to have seen the effect the course was having on the cars without the driving into each other bits

Looked like they were all more capable than they’re usually given credit for and can cope with some pretty rough terrain.

Best bit at the end

There's something I'm really not getting at the moment.

Remember that Joe Achilles story, where the police came across a video of him driving an R8, worked out that he was speeding and whacked him in court and convicted him?

Well, some YT channels are showing off driving that makes Joe's case look beyond trivial..

Couple of channels that popped up recently; MSB and DMO. The former posted a video yesterday, and the lad in the driver's seat is absolutely hooning it on public roads. He's also appeared on the DMO channel, about 3 months ago doing exactly the same (actually, worse) in a RWD X3M.

Thing is, they've been doing this for ages. They document themselves doing it and stick on YT to a large audience. Why haven't they been collared yet? They're surely on plod's radar.

No 27 finally adds everything together

Just watched a bit of that one. They’ll surely be getting a call!

link it up!

Not my thang - hadn't seen any before. Driving starts around 6mins

Certainly not my thing either..

Here's the other one this one's worse IMO. You get me?

Driving starts at 11.10

Yeah, he’s a dick.

How him, and others doing similar things, haven’t been pulled up on it yet I’ll never know.

But that’s just dickish driving, not speeding so no objective measure of an offence being committed. He’s also blurred the reg plate and the video doesn’t prove who was driving round the roundabout.

Sadly the less responsible twats in this video are better at not providing evidence of any offences, nor who committed them. Possibly by chance, possibly intentional.

He is drifting round a roundabout which has other traffic on it at 11 minutes in. Someone recently got done for dangerous driving for doing the same on an empty roundabout

The simple act of blurring the plates just makes it cross into too much effort territory for the police.

Just dickish driving, not dangerous?

Could be, but it’s subjective. So the CPS have to prove it.

They also have to prove who was driving. They can’t necessarily even prove whose car it was.

I’m not saying they deserve to get away with it; I’m simply saying there’s a heck of a lot more work to make a case which would get a conviction than in Joe Achilles’ speeding case.

No seatbelt but a lovely handbag.

It appears Tavarish has bought that flood/storm damaged McLaren P1. Should make for some interesting videos.

Was it just me who missed that Jodie Kidd has joined the list of motoring YouTubers?
