Please tell me I'm not overreacting but I find this type of news annoying in the extreme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j4tAzkHwRM
This youtuber Shmee150 "buys" sports cars of the limited edition variety , blogs about them, flips them for more cash and repeats. He is a modern day Lamborghini poster for young men or older men who like him. Behind this facade however there is the screaming issue of how is he able to obtain allocations for so many limited edition cars? So when you look at his McLaren allocations they make sense , in that he gets LT cars because he has a track record of "buymoting" their cars before getting the limited edition cars. He has AMG GT R coming, New Ford GT coming, has an Aston GT8 but its the Porsche GT3 allocation that amazes me and at the same time annoys the hell out of me. Why? Well his only dalliance with Porsche was , yes a Cayman GT4, which he sold for profit back to an OPC . He has no affiliation or track record of buying or even liking Porsche 911's until recently. So when the lieks of you and I pop into the OPC and are told , only special loyal, long time clients get "asked" to buy a GT car we accept that and keep buying the stock variety Porsche in the hope perhaps that one dfay we may get "asked" to drop 100k plus on a car. Meanwhile, Shmee simply has to aks and gets a GT3 allocation on the back of a similar outrage on a GT4. What is it I'm not getting, we put up with all manner of nonsense and support the brand because we like the cars, yet Porsche UK dangle the fiction of access to a GT car only once loyal brand service has been served. Yet this bloke hs no such history and egst to own and flip these cars as he sees fit. It makes a mockery of the recent Porsche senior management coming out against this very thing. I don't care if he drives them a lot or not, its the access to allocation minus any track record of prior purchase that annoys the hell out of me. IN a sense we are all paying for this guy to do this, we support the brand, he doesn't , yet gets access to the holy grail, why? I'm not aware of Porsche needing to appeal to a new demographic of skint teenagers, At least Chris Harris actually bought a GT3 4.0 with his own cash and drove it. I think this needs a bit of explanation form Porsche GB, otherwise the sales guys at local OPC's are in for a hard time the next time they trot out the old " sorry only for really good clients" If it is a press car on long term loan then say that. Do we have acces to Porsche GB for comment?
