I enjoy these videos as Harry genuinely loves driving, as opposed to shmee who seems to be more of a hoarder.

Arrgh. You made me go and hunt down the 30 seconds of video that reminds me why I have no interest in him.


If someone presenting automotive content is only able to relay the colours, the logos, and just how pant-wettingly excited they are about it (and pretty much everything else) then my time is best spent elsewhere.

(DC appears to have the measure of him also at 8min50).

I hereby strongly apologise to everyone for posting any shmee content. :(

It’s a shame he’s so insufferable with the access to the cars he does.

Same with Jayemm. He has some really interesting stuff on his channel that I want to hear about but I can’t stand the way he talks.

Some of his stuff is quite watchable. What amuses me no-end is that he speaks in keywords.

Yes. I. Know. What. You. Mean. There. Shame. Isn't. It.

Yes, that's the frustrating thing @tim is that some of his stuff is really good, but he can't seem to help channeling some sort of caricature of 90s Clarkson at some point in each video.
Cheers,

Mike.

So true. There's also something about Jayemm which just makes me think he's a more practised version of Shockdiamonds.

Ive not seen shock diamonds but, jayemm seems to be driving interesting cars to standout from the pack rather than because he genuinely gets them. I like petrolped and joe archilles even though they recently seem to have started taking themselves a bit too seriously.

Shmee also seems to have a naturally awkward social manner with people which make his interviews uncomfortable viewing

Liked seeing the car, but the trip element didn’t grab me much.

The good news is that it’s hit the 1000 mile run-in mark at the end of this vid, so the next one can include all the powerz.

It seems an oversight that the main speedo doesn't change to kmh :?
Nice wanderlust-provoking scenery 8-)

Have not felt so much envy for HM since his Zonda departed. That looked amazing.

Fingers crossed Hethel can put them all out at that quality.

He sums it up perfectly - it looks like a shrunken supercar, with styling evoking recent McLarens, Ferraris etc. The interior looks very impressive and reasonably practical too. I wasn't entirely sold on the fonts and resolution of the instrument binnacle, but that's minor in the scheme of things.

Scenery does look incredible though.
Cheers,

Mike.

Pagani Ootopia front end unfortunately reminds me of a Mitsuoka.

Cool that it can be manual V12, deeply uncool pretty much everything else.

I couldn’t get into the Pagani bit. The bits that interested me - I already knew. New car doesn’t appeal. Skipped quite a bit of that vid.

I guess the next vid will contain Emira content with a fully run in car….

Zonda no 1 was the best looking one, all the other cars uglier with every iteration :lol: They're all stunning under the skin though and that factory is impressive 8-)

I thought the museum looked cool though, would definitely pop-in if passing... There's been some totally crazy editions of the Paganis, but the first run, clean designs are usually the best.

Not sure about the new car though, I'm sure it will be epic, but not a fan of the styling as it stands. Almost looks like a concept car at the moment (maybe it is... I fell asleep at that point)....
Cheers,

Mike.

It looks like a Huayra which has an infection. The bulbous headlights, horrific wing mirror stalks and the bloated rear end. The Huayra itself looked like a crap Zonda.
How about not having a sig at all?
