The Morning Frost: A Collection of Super Cars

As I stepped out into the crisp morning air, surrounded by my prized collection of super cars, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and appreciation for these machines. The white paintwork glistened in the sunlight, giving the impression that everything is spotless and clean. It's moments like these that make me realize just how beautiful it is to have such an extensive collection.

My reasons for accumulating so many super cars are multifaceted. Firstly, I enjoy working with various brands and companies within the industry. By buying a range of different cars, I'm able to experience firsthand what each brand has to offer. This allows me to provide my audience with a unique perspective on these vehicles, and to share my thoughts and feelings about them in a way that's both personal and informative.

One of my favorite aspects of this collection is the opportunity it provides for me to engage with like-minded individuals who share my passion for super cars. As someone who has no allegiance to a single brand, I'm able to approach each vehicle with an open mind and a sense of curiosity. This allows me to appreciate the unique qualities and characteristics of each car, and to discuss them in a way that's both entertaining and enlightening.

I've been fortunate enough to have had some incredible opportunities working with various brands, including McLaren, Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, and Mercedes. Each of these experiences has been a privilege, and I'm grateful for the chance to share them with my audience. Whether it's discussing the features and benefits of each car, or simply enjoying the thrill of driving them, every moment is a joy.

Of course, there are also some cars that I've had the pleasure of acquiring at the right time, allowing me to build an impressive collection over the years. The Ford GT, for example, has been a long-term project, with the goal of eventually adding it to my collection. While it's still in the early stages of development, I'm excited to see how things will unfold and when I'll finally have the chance to share it with all of you.

In recent months, there's been a lot of speculation about the upcoming Ford GT. As a long-time enthusiast, I've had my eye on this car for years, and I'm thrilled to see that it's finally starting to take shape. With production set to begin in Canada, I'm eager to learn more about this exciting project and to share my thoughts and impressions with all of you when the time comes.

One topic that often arises in discussions about super cars is the idea of buying and selling them for profit. While some enthusiasts may view collecting cars as a way to make a quick buck, I've always taken a different approach. For me, buying and collecting cars is not just about making money; it's also about enjoying the thrill of driving these incredible machines.

As a result, my collection has grown in size over the years, with each new acquisition allowing me to share my passion with an even wider audience. From the McLaren 720S to the Porsche 911 GT3, every car has been carefully selected for its unique characteristics and appeal. And as I've said before, there's nothing quite like sharing the experience of driving these cars with someone who appreciates them as much as you do.

In recent years, I've had the pleasure of discussing my collection with some friends and family members, including my father. His love of M3s has been a source of inspiration for me, and he's played a key role in helping me build my collection. In fact, one of his favorite cars is the Aston Martin DB11 – and I have to say, it's an incredible machine.

After much discussion with my dad, we decided to invest in the DB11, which was about a year old at the time with only around 1,000 miles on the clock. It was a clever purchase that allowed us to enjoy this beautiful car while also generating a decent profit. With 51,000 miles now on the clock, it's clear that this car has been well-maintained and enjoyed.

One of the most rewarding aspects of collecting super cars is the opportunity to share your knowledge and enthusiasm with others. For me, there's no greater joy than seeing someone drive one of my favorite cars for the first time and watching their reaction as they experience its unique qualities.

Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to work with some incredible people who have helped me build my collection. From mechanics and technicians to fellow car enthusiasts, each person has played a vital role in helping me share my passion with others.

As I wrap up this fuel for thought episode, I want to thank you all for joining me on this journey. Whether it's discussing the latest super cars or simply enjoying the thrill of driving them, every moment is a pleasure. And as we look to the future and the exciting developments that are on the horizon, I'm confident that there will be many more moments like these in the years to come.

With that, I bid you farewell for now, but not before sharing one final thought: there's something truly special about collecting super cars, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to share my passion with all of you.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys I'm shme and welcome to the V12 Advantage so this is my dad's car but it's the Christmas holidays I've been at home for the week and it seemed appropriate to take the car out for a little Drive the first time I've driven it actually in quite a while um but I also wanted to sort of turn this into another of my fuel for Thought videos after the last couple I think you guys are really quite interested in these and I want to take the topic today of car flipping what is car flipping thing I see it all the time some of you accusing me of it um and how this whole sort of process works and then we'll talk a little bit about the sort of multiple Supercar collection versus having a hyper car in the garage um but first we're on some lovely roads in hartfordshire just north of London at the moment I'm going to put the V12 Vantage into sport mode immediately more throttle response and thrust away from the 6 L V12 in this thing 510 brake horsepower a beautiful six-speed manual gearbox and I think one of The Inspirations for the gt8 of course that we're going to be seeing a lot of in the very very near future on this channel but one of the things I love so much about this engine is how much torque it has whatever gear you're in it just gets up and goes it's it's an elegant Symphony Of Sound it's such a lovely car to be driving so after doing my previous videos I've done one in the FF one in the Focus RS one in the mini I think I'll do the next one in the McLaren but it seems sort of uh worthwhile while I was was at home for the Christmas period to take the car out so also please excuse the really low Sun if at any point in this video it is desperately annoying um it is obviously just after the shortest day of the year and there is not a whole lot I can do about it but I can be grateful that we do at least have sun in the United Kingdom at this time of year um which makes the drive a little bit more interesting than it otherwise would be so I I mean this car's an awful lot of fun H come on traffic want to be able to pull out here okay off we go just the grum B you get from the v112 behind you it's astonishing astonishing no pun intended so let's talk car flipping what is car flipping well firstly car flipping is basically if you buy a car you take up a limited edition model run slot or let's say you get an early allocation on a car and you do that purely for the purposes of selling it to make money so let's say you were fortunate enough to get a 911r allocation but before you even D driven the thing you put it up for sale maybe it cost cost you £150,000 00,000 by the time You' spec it up um but you go and sell it for well the market value right now is lost as marbles I think they're asking up to sort of a million dollars in the US but let's say realistically uh £400,000 so you literally flip the car and made a £250,000 profit but in doing so what you've effectively done is stop somebody else that wants it um from getting that allocation and being able to buy it from you themselves in favor of somebody else who you know wants to add it to their collection and doesn't mind the cost um so you've blocked out a slot on a limited edition model run and that's happening at the moment with lots and lots of cars you know 911rs 991 of them uh F12 tdf 799 of them um I'm seeing a few gt8 being sold uh at premiums very very quickly at the moment um so only the first few cars started delivering a month or two ago we've seen two for sale um specification came to 1990 to £220,000 depending how you did it um that's s of region um they're going for sale for strong money I've seen one advertis for £ 300,000 that I think went straight away and one adverti at the moment for £340,000 but those are cars that are basically be delivered to customers and put straight into a showroom for sale now I don't like that at all because you've starved somebody else who wanted the opportunity to buy the car um from doing so historically this is more well known from say Ferrari territory because new model Ferraris always have insanely long build cues to get your hands on one you know when we were talking uh even F430 days but let's say 458 Italia when it came out if you wanted a 4558 Italia the coupe you were literally going to be looking at 2 years to get your hands on one so naturally anybody who gets an early slot builds it in a very generic spec Rosso and Kema Rosso and Nero Nero exterior with Nero interior something really really generic and flipper cars are normally in launch specifications or very generic specifications um and put it straight on the market for £20,000 £30,000 over and because there are lots of people who would like them inevitably it will go but what you've done is create that KnockOn effect for everybody getting their car slightly later because you wanted to flip it now I get accused of flipping far too regularly guys um I have never in my life flipped a car um this came up particularly with 675 LT Coupe uh because of course I changed from the coupe into the spider now from my perspective that coup did 5 and a/4 thousand miles in 9 months and anybody who wanted to flip a car would not do anything like that it's stupid how much you would devalue the car by doing that mileage unfortunately we live in a world where you have to be very sensitive about the miles you doing a car because the price is dictated by that buyers will always take a car with lower miles especially um in the United Kingdom I think more so perhaps than in other countries just because we don't have massively long distances to go between places um so I saw the 75 LT Coupe as you know to move into the 675 LT spider so in no way can that be considered a flip because I spent it immediately on the direct replacement two of the same cars is stupid um 675 spider being a car I'd quite like to hang on to and I'll get onto that a little bit more shortly as well um so you get this with all sorts of different cars um and everybody I think accuses me of it cuz I change cars quite regularly U and the reason I do that partly is because I'm all I'm I as a person and very happy to admit this I'm very into whatever's new new and exciting the new things I like what's just come out new technology um and the excitement that comes around it and I think you can't really disagree that you guys as viewers of the YouTube channel quite like seeing new models as well so my aim from my side is definitely not to flip cars cuz I will never buy a car and not drive it every car I buy will go on a launch tour I'll throw a whole pile of miles on it straight away that's why I put paint protection fil on them at topaz um but I want to be growing this collection um but in turn you know there are cars that I might not like as much but equally I sometimes just need to move a car on to get some uh cash back in my bank account to pay for whatever's coming next and that's obviously something that's very very relevant because I seem to be placing deposits on new cars rather regularly at the moment um which is a slight addiction I should probably slow down with um but I want to be growing my cars um out into a collection that one day maybe I'll be able to put somewhere you know living the dream like Jay Leno's Garage uh if things desperately go in my favor I would love to do that make it a place that can be open for people to come and visit obviously I'm not going to get as far as Jen I know his garage is one of the best places in the world I've never been but hopefully at some point um but even just having maybe a small venue near London at some point in the future where you guys can come along we can host some meets and you can maybe see the cars and and see some other cars if there are some people visiting as a cool place to start my videos so in the back of my mind is is growing out the collection and basically I'm sort of thinking every two cars I buy in pretty much one will go out and I want these cars obviously to be the exciting special editions because I'm wanting to create this collection and I want to enjoy driving them and I have a particular sort of obsession with driving as you know you follow me doing an awful lot of it um so things like the gt8 especially with the emotional connection I've now got to that car said it before but just think about it I have been there through the entire build process of the GTA I've taken you along this journey from when we well first announced that I had bought it before it was even the car was even announced itself actually I had bought it to the paint shop I was in the paint shop when my car was painted I saw the engine going in at the marriage station we joined it for Final Trim I signed the back of the seat I signed the chassis on the door sort of plate underneath the uh underneath the carbon plaque uh side plate that goes on top of it it's been my car sort of all the way through it's a complete story I was there when they were testing it and then as you've just seen I went back to join Dr Andy Parmer oh bit slippy 5° for the final inspection for like signing off the car and sticking the wings badge on it making it an Aston Martin that car is to me it's my car it's like you you couldn't have a more close personal connection to anything that you can go out and drive Al it may be a kit car if you've built it yourself but come on um in this category there are 150 of them it's a serious collector car maybe at some point in the future I'll sell it but I get a lot of these accusations of you're only buying it to sell it and I can tell you guys that is not the case I am not only buying any car ever to sell it if I buy a car it's because for some reason that car appeals to me or I want it in my collection you know the 675 LT spider I had the 12C the 650 s the LT Coupe and the LT spider and between them I've done about 40,000 mil that is almost the definition of a Supercar to me because it is what I am so familiar with and that obviously comes from the fact that I loved it so much in the first place to drive and I've got this sort of attachment that even though there's a new McLaren coming I want that LT spider in my garage I want that car I it's custom paint color I made the paint color I made the spec I know the the body options so well the options on options this for the P11 platform it's I don't know it's just my car now the GTA has sort of surpassed that but these two together will sit side by side the sort of pride of my collection um for as long as I possibly can I mean in addition to those we've also got the AMG GTR coming and this is a very relevant car to all these questions coming in about car flipping so I have a lot of people and by a lot I mean I've received 20 or 30 people saying I've put an order down for an AMG GTR is it going to make me money um and some of you guys might be watching this and the long story short is if everybody does that then no because the market gets flooded with cars for sale um and people who want them don't really get to buy them or have to buy readymade specs over list price I personally can't see how a non-limited Edition Mercedes can make money anyway so I think you guys might be living a little bit in Dreamland um it's not the SLS Black Series of which there are only 150 of them yes that's gone up in value hugely but think of the numbers the AMG GTR there might be 2,000 3,000 I don't even know but there are no official numbers um yes it's a freaking phenomenal car and that's why I want it I had heard rumors of the technology before it came out and it's a car I want to use for road trips for Adventures but for track days at the other end it's got a boot it's got some luggage space it's the sort of front engineed rear wheeel drive brute of a GT and yes the FF is that in a little bit but the FF doesn't have quite um the boisterous characteristics and obviously it's a four- seater so those two cars sit side by side and I think that's another thing my cars in my garage are all they don't overlap they're not serving the same purpose um I like to think that I've got you know I'm not going to buy a 488 to sit alongside the LT because they do the same thing I've got the the mid engined ridiculously powerful carbon TP hyper car convertible I've got the gt8 which is the manual sort of funay exciting kind of short driv truly special car but the AMG GTR that will be my sort of daily driver from front engine GT car the FF that is my sort of luxurious uh multiple people nice event kind of car support car when I'm off with a car that doesn't have much luggage space and for that purpose it is literally perfect um obviously the folus RS has kind of become my daily driver it's got winter tires on it um and I'm using it an awful lot it's done 6,000 mi in 5 months just to put that into perspective that's a lot fact all of my cars just do crazy mileage then the mini is a bit of fun just to have around London obviously it's never going to do a lot of miles but it's very very easy to park so my garage and collection is sort of really I think quite well thought out even though you may not realize behind the scenes um but I'm trying to you know have everything pieced together so that they're good for driving and sometimes I end up with cars in different countries or things so you know it makes sense to slightly have some crossover um and that's basically why I want lots of super cars in my collection rather than a hyper a single hyper car let's say and I you know there are loads of these comments still why don't you sell everything and buy P1 well I could literally sell my entire fleet of cars and buy maybe one P1 if I finance a little bit on top but the downside of that obviously is I'm too scared to drive the thing is brakes are 15 grand a wind screen's 18 Grand if anything happens it costs a fortune and let's face it I do 50,000 m a year in my cars and I couldn't do 50,000 Mi if I had a single car then you've also got um taking my friends I I love going on drives with friends taking out multiple cars taking them all and just going and having some fun especially like we did on fuel faction and you can guarantee there's going to be another fuel faction um coming up very soon um just quickly while we're here he'll start in a car like this fly off handbrake manual handbrake is down this side so you're doing that with your right hand and a right hand drive car which is completely backwards and actually this is the first time I'm going to have done it in a reasonable amount of time so that's a oh little bit too much gas oh well um key for some traffic everybody turns to look at this car everybody the morning Frost white paintwork it's beautiful clean right now such such a lovely lovely machine we go but yes my reasons for the multiple supercars one is because I like the collection two is I enjoy the experience of working with many different brands and by buying a number of different cars I'm sure you've noticed that I've got a McLaren a Ferrari had a Porsche an Aston Martin a Mercedes uh a Ford there's a reason I'm sort of wanting to experience these different brands partly so I can talk to you guys about it but partly because I'm not biased to a single brand for example I have no allegiance to McLaren and as I said in my mini fuel for thought it's not like I already bought a um the new uh P4 720s uh the replacement to the 650s because you know I want to see what the car's like I'm not just going to buy it just because and certainly I'm not working with any of these brands in terms of discounts of cars or anything like that um just special filming opportunities was what they're able to provide because you guys enjoy it and I very much enjoy seeing behind the scenes of the cars the Ford GT is literally years away so please don't get excited about it yet I don't expect to see that car inside 2018 2019 if I'm lucky let's just wait and see when it turns up um what the situation is at the time I'm lucky enough to have been awarded awarded and given an allocation would be more accurate um and when the time comes hopefully I'll be able to film some things with you um the car is going to be built in Canada um we'll have to see but it's so far away that there's a lot more exciting stuff that's going to be on the horizon before we get to the GT um but yeah back back to the car flipping topic um the uh flipping topic of this video and the sort of false accusations I suppose that I kind of take quite personally because yes I want to buy the special edition CS but I want to buy them into a collection that I can share the content with to you guys and obviously everything I can make through my various sort of business type activities and everything connected to sh150 um I want to put back into my car collection into these cars because it makes more opportunities for things I can fill and enjoy on a personal level because let's face it I love the cars and supercars in this world that's why I got into this in the first place um but also the video content and opportunities I get to film and share um and there's nothing I suppose I enjoy more than having this kind of opportunity myself than letting you guys come along with me for the drive and for the ride and for whatever's going on um yeah nice this car is so good as well aston's just it's the last of the old school manual um and this one you know what this is an interesting car um I talked to my dad into buying this car he' always had M3s um he had an e92 M3 for seven years before this um and I was like listen you lose a lot of money on those kind of cars why don't we invest sensibly into something really cool um and this was shortly after his father passed away my grandfather and we came up with the idea r v to Advantage I mean he loved the manual setup he loved the car then the tunnel sorry I couldn't resist and this car we bought it um about a year old not too many miles on it um thousand or so and he's had it now for 3 years and it's probably worth about the same amount of money um that it cost when it was brand new um just by a clever purchase clever investment and getting to enjoy a drive and you know I'm looking at it now with 20, 51 mil on the clock so he's not been holding back done a good uh 6 7,000 a year with the uh with the V12 Advantage so that's definitely not being flipped um yeah so that's really my topic you know the cars I'm ordering um I'm not going to buy a car to flip um' be nice to to to not hear any more of it obviously that's not going to happen because YouTube is YouTube and you will all comment whatever you would like to comment um but I want to be able to buy these cars and share everything with you what they like what they're all about anyway I will wrap up for now I think I have waffled on for far too long in today's fuel for thought thank you very much for joining me hope hope You' enjoyed the little drive and an interesting discussion about the uh about the topic had to do it again anyway I'll wrap it up there thanks very much for watching guys and I will catch up with you soon cheershi guys I'm shme and welcome to the V12 Advantage so this is my dad's car but it's the Christmas holidays I've been at home for the week and it seemed appropriate to take the car out for a little Drive the first time I've driven it actually in quite a while um but I also wanted to sort of turn this into another of my fuel for Thought videos after the last couple I think you guys are really quite interested in these and I want to take the topic today of car flipping what is car flipping thing I see it all the time some of you accusing me of it um and how this whole sort of process works and then we'll talk a little bit about the sort of multiple Supercar collection versus having a hyper car in the garage um but first we're on some

the year and there is not a whole lot I can do about it but I can be grateful that we do at least have sun in the United Kingdom at this time of year um which makes the drive a little bit more interesting than it otherwise would be so I I mean this car's an awful lot of fun H come on traffic want to be able to pull out here okay off we go just the grum B you get from the v112 behind you

it's because for some reason that car appeals to me or I want it in my collection you know the 675 LT spider I had the 12C the 650 s the LT Coupe and the LT spider and between them I've done about 40,000 mil that is almost the definition of a Supercar to me because it is what I am so familiar with and that obviously comes from the fact that I loved it so much in the first place to drive and I've got this sort of attachment that even though there's a new McLaren coming I want that LT spider in my garage I want that car I it's custom paint color I made the paint color I made the spec I know the the body options so well the options on options this for the P11 platform it's I don't know it's just my car now the GTA has sort of surpassed that but these two together will sit side by side the sort of pride of my collection um for as long as I possibly can I mean in addition to those we've also got the AMG GTR coming and this is a very relevant car to all these questions coming in about car flipping so I have a lot of people and by a lot I mean I've received 20 or 30 people saying I've put an order down for an AMG GTR is it going to make me money um and some of you guys might be watching this and the long story short is if everybody does that then no because the market gets flooded with cars for sale um and people who want them don't really get to buy them or have to buy readymade specs over list price I personally can't see how a non-limited Edition Mercedes can make money anyway so I think you guys might be living a little bit in Dreamland um it's not the SLS Black Series of which there are only 150 of them yes that's gone up in value hugely but think of the numbers the AMG GTR there might be 2,000 3,000 I don't even know but there are no official numbers um yes it's a freaking phenomenal car and that's why I want it I had heard rumors of the technology before it came out and it's a car I want to use for road trips for Adventures but for track days at the other end it's got a boot it's got some luggage space it's the sort of front engineed rear wheeel drive brute of a GT and yes the FF is that in a little bit but the FF doesn't have quite um the boisterous characteristics and obviously it's a four- seater so those two cars sit side by side and I think that's another thing my cars in my garage are all they don't overlap they're not serving the same purpose um I like to think that I've got you know I'm not going to buy a 488 to sit alongside the LT because they do the same thing I've got the the mid engined ridiculously powerful carbon TP hyper car convertible I've got the gt8 which is the manual sort of funay exciting kind of short driv truly special car but the AMG GTR that will be my sort of daily driver from front engine GT car the FF that is my sort of luxurious uh multiple people nice event kind of car support car when I'm off with a car that doesn't have much luggage space and for that purpose it is literally perfect um obviously the folus RS has kind of become my daily driver it's got winter tires on it um and I'm using it an awful lot it's done 6,000 mi in 5 months just to put that into perspective that's a lot fact all of my cars just do crazy mileage then the mini is a bit of fun just to have around London obviously it's never going to do a lot of miles but it's very very easy to park so my garage and collection is sort of really I think quite well thought out even though you may not realize behind the scenes um but I'm trying to you know have everything pieced together so that they're good for driving and sometimes I end up with cars in different countries or things so you know it makes sense to slightly have some crossover um and that's basically why I want lots of super cars in my collection rather than a hyper a single hyper car let's say and I you know there are loads of these comments still why don't you sell everything and buy P1 well I could literally sell my entire fleet of cars and buy maybe one P1 if I finance a little bit on top but the downside of that obviously is I'm too scared to drive the thing is brakes are 15 grand a wind screen's 18 Grand if anything happens it costs a fortune and let's face it I do 50,000 m a year in my cars and I couldn't do 50,000 Mi if I had a single car then you've also got um taking my friends I I love going on drives with friends taking out multiple cars taking them all and just going and having some fun especially like we did on fuel faction and you can guarantee there's going to be another fuel faction um coming up very soon um just quickly while we're here he'll start in a car like this fly off handbrake manual handbrake is down this side so you're doing that with your right hand and a right hand drive car which is completely backwards and actually this is the first time I'm going to have done it in a reasonable amount of time so that's a oh little bit too much gas oh well um key for some traffic everybody turns to look at this car everybody the morning Frost white paintwork it's beautiful clean right now such such a lovely lovely machine we go but yes my reasons for the multiple supercars one is because I like the collection two is I enjoy the experience of working with many different brands and by buying a number of different cars I'm sure you've noticed that I've got a McLaren a Ferrari had a Porsche an Aston Martin a Mercedes uh a Ford there's a reason I'm sort of wanting to experience these different brands partly so I can talk to you guys about it but partly because I'm not biased to a single brand for example I have no allegiance to McLaren and as I said in my mini fuel for thought it's not like I already bought a um the new uh P4 720s uh the replacement to the 650s because you know I want to see what the car's like I'm not just going to buy it just because and certainly I'm not working with any of these brands in terms of discounts of cars or anything like that um just special filming opportunities was what they're able to provide because you guys enjoy it and I very much enjoy seeing behind the scenes of the cars the Ford GT is literally years away so please don't get excited about it yet I don't expect to see that car inside 2018 2019 if I'm lucky let's just wait and see when it turns up um what the situation is at the time I'm lucky enough to have been awarded awarded and given an allocation would be more accurate um and when the time comes hopefully I'll be able to film some things with you um the car is going to be built in Canada um we'll have to see but it's so far away that there's a lot more exciting stuff that's going to be on the horizon before we get to the GT um but yeah back back to the car flipping topic um the uh flipping topic of this video and the sort of false accusations I suppose that I kind of take quite personally because yes I want to buy the special edition CS but I want to buy them into a collection that I can share the content with to you guys and obviously everything I can make through my various sort of business type activities and everything connected to sh150 um I want to put back into my car collection into these cars because it makes more opportunities for things I can fill and enjoy on a personal level because let's face it I love the cars and supercars in this world that's why I got into this in the first place um but also the video content and opportunities I get to film and share um and there's nothing I suppose I enjoy more than having this kind of opportunity myself than letting you guys come along with me for the drive and for the ride and for whatever's going on um yeah nice this car is so good as well aston's just it's the last of the old school manual um and this one you know what this is an interesting car um I talked to my dad into buying this car he' always had M3s um he had an e92 M3 for seven years before this um and I was like listen you lose a lot of money on those kind of cars why don't we invest sensibly into something really cool um and this was shortly after his father passed away my grandfather and we came up with the idea r v to Advantage I mean he loved the manual setup he loved the car then the tunnel sorry I couldn't resist and this car we bought it um about a year old not too many miles on it um thousand or so and he's had it now for 3 years and it's probably worth about the same amount of money um that it cost when it was brand new um just by a clever purchase clever investment and getting to enjoy a drive and you know I'm looking at it now with 20, 51 mil on the clock so he's not been holding back done a good uh 6 7,000 a year with the uh with the V12 Advantage so that's definitely not being flipped um yeah so that's really my topic you know the cars I'm ordering um I'm not going to buy a car to flip um' be nice to to to not hear any more of it obviously that's not going to happen because YouTube is YouTube and you will all comment whatever you would like to comment um but I want to be able to buy these cars and share everything with you what they like what they're all about anyway I will wrap up for now I think I have waffled on for far too long in today's fuel for thought thank you very much for joining me hope hope You' enjoyed the little drive and an interesting discussion about the uh about the topic had to do it again anyway I'll wrap it up there thanks very much for watching guys and I will catch up with you soon cheers\n"
