As above, i too had never heard of him.

Does beg the question though, how do these (unknown by the majority of people) get paid such vast sums of money as to allow them the funds to in this persons case a £750k garage?

I kind of get how they make a few pence from each YouTube video view & the like, but being a name i don't recognise i can't imagine he's up there with the likes of Chris Harris or even shmee150 (makes me wretch just saying that name).

Credit to anyone making a fantastic living out of owning stunning cars & videoing themselves driving/buying, but i just don't see where the funds could come from??

On topic, that must be the highest spec RS6 PE in the UK??

Top Youtubers get vast amounts of money. Minecrafters can earn USD900k PA from their channels. I'm not saying that's how this clown gets his dosh, I'm just saying, you'd be surprised.

No. 1 Youtube earner:
PewDiePie: $12m (£7.7m), 39.8m subscribers, 10bn views
No matter where you go, there you are.

Mr JWW has separate businesses importing and exporting textiles also so he doesn't just make his dosh from YouTube. Far from it actually.

I too saw his video earlier this morning, funny how most of us haven't heard of him before and he pops up on all our social feeds. I like his spec and colour, though I'd change the wheels altogether, something in black. I believe there is someone on this forum who owns the 666rs which is what is what it should look like.

Them wheels where 8k and he had to use spacers. Personally I'd be fuming if that happened to me lol

Did he really say each ceramic disc is tested to destruction before it gets fitted to a car? Not sure I'd want a set of destroyed discs for £9k.

It might be highly specced but not how I would have specced it. I don't like the seat colour, in fact since getting the alcantara seats I don't like any of the all leather seats as much.
I don't like the heated steering wheel for 2 reasons, 1. It looks pants and 2. No drive select button.
But I'm nit picking, it's a lovely car!!

He didn't mention the suspension though. Could be on air, he said it rides like its on air which the DRC car doesn't, it rattles out your dentures. I know he has the ceramics but he could have specced them individualy without the Dynamic plus package as there was no mention of either uplift in speed restricter that comes with either the Dynamic or Dynamic Plus packages (and therefore DRC too).
