Thanks Tuga, our own resident YouTube star, I couldn't figure out how to do that.

This is my car - and there's some things that he didn't mention that I gave him in my list of quirks...oh well. Glad he at least enjoyed the drive. I do have a short shift that is relatively easy to master but takes a tiny bit of getting used to!

I thought that alright, mines like stirring a glass of water.

What other quirks and features did you tell Doug?

oh ya know...the whole "body should've been smaller" thing...Mclaren f1 parts interchange I thought would've been interesting, can't remember what else. But focusing on some of the minor things like my window switches being backwards is something that they could've checked with me beforehand!

the first 2 minutes of the video made me dislike the presenter.
paused at 7 minutes and im not inclined to watch it to the end.

theres something about it that hits a nerve. maybe im just jealous that hes got a bazilion subscribers ?

taking a shot at an angle that is showing the decaying bonnet liner feels like very sloppy cameramenship. it wouldnt take much effort to raise up the camera to a position that hid it, giving the car a more consistent good look.

i really like the fact theres more exposure on the car, specially from someone who has a lot of viewers, but i expected better as a result as well

He's certainly a "personality," but I can't discredit him for being authentic.

The video is really a for sale ad for my car, but it's kind of not a good one. Calling it "bizarre." I mean yes, it is bizarre, but its also a good car if you inspect it in isolation.

My bonnet liner still lines the bonnet, to me that was never a big concern so much as the mechanical stuff, in which case this car is as dialed as it could be.

The shifter is not for newbies, like our presenter is though :-D It's a very tight short shift.


One day left on the auction, so we'll see if his advertisement helped.
