A man who knows how to use a car. None of that collecting dust in the garage business 👌🏻
We're a long time dead - better make the most of it!
Mr JWW great attitude jww
So good to see that there are super car owners that drive their cars A LOT!
Porsche with 18,000 on is music to the ears of any super hero.
congratulations James on being a legend in this game
I don't have any words
Cheers Spidey! Pleasure to journey along the way!
Mr JWW Very nice
I put 5,000 on my 991 Turbo S in 2 weeks (EU delivery) :) I think I have him beaten :)
goguhu It isn't a competition you sad act
goguhu some weird guy chatting shit . you don't have a Porsche
Well said and I agree with you completely. like you, I never understood at all, why people buy these cars and just make them garage queens. My 991 GT3 has 20,000 miles ( combined track & street miles) and loved every moment of driving this beast. I also have placed 7000 miles so far on my GT4, and 5000 miles on my 2016 Spyder which is by the way is more fun to drive on the street than both the GT3, and GT4. My only recommendation to you and since you use the GT3 as a daily driver is to install the DSC module which only takes 15 minutes to swap out with the factory PASM stock module. It will enhance your driving experience so much and allow you to enjoy the car on bad roads even while using the stiffer PASM sitting. It will transform your car in terms of handling and comfort. If you have any questions regarding the DSC module please feel free to contact me. Mark
James Bond .... I am not lying. I am a guy who does not blog. I just enjoy the driving. You don't have to show off just because you own nice cars. Here is the link to my shared picture file if you are interested in seeing my cars. www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0YJtdOXmJpo4Hi
If you follow the link you will see some pictures of me driving the GT3 on the snow!
+Mark Qandil Hey Mark, thanks for the info buddy and props to you for enjoying your cars so much too! The DSC mod sounds interesting - might do some research into it!
James Bond ..... Not a problem buddy, and thank you.
Very jealous of your Porsche collection, absolutely nailed the colours as well!
v impressive collectioN!!!
Welcome back to GT3!
This makes me happy
+AMMO NYC 🤘🏻
just randomly came across this again after 5 months and it is defintley one of the best real car people videos ever. listen to this man people he speaks the TRUTH !
Awesome GT3. The ultimate daily. Love it.
James I have to say you are absolutely smashing the game that is car you tubers. IMO you are the top guy right now. Your content is otherworldly. And the fact that you use your cars this way is spot on. Absolutely smashing it. I love how your not scared to put 18 k miles on a gt3 with out batting an eyelash. I wish others were more like you. Well done mate. Well done.
It's good to see this car getting used! So many for sale with next to no miles! 10/10 would daily
It's ana amazing daily - people associate the R8 V10 as the every day supercar but this is where it's at!
Mr JWW 100% agree! It's more of an enjoyable drivers car!
18,000 glorious miles. To hell with the "10,000 mile" limit. You've driven it, you've enjoyed it & you've had it to the track. What could be better? Nothing. Way to go James! Well done. (Mike in Ohio)
+MTobin1000 Hey again Mike! Good to see you here as always! Yeah the miles are racking up and like a fine wine it's getting better with age!
Couldn't agree with you more. I just got past 9500 miles and my car seems to pull stronger. I've done a few overnight track days, long drives, but mostly use it for my daily commute to work, short morning blasts, shopping, quick runs, it's good for almost anything with the front lift and a very usable frunk. What a car. Still can't believe it some mornings when I get in a start it. Awesome.
You are a champion for doing that many miles in such a hardcore car.
And I thought my 35K in the C63 was good! :D
Mumbo Jumbo they're actually very comfortable
Mumbo Jumbo Dream car 😍
+Mumbo Jumbo 35k in a C63 is good! Cool to see you hear as always Mumbo!
35K in a C63 in 9 months? How is your hearing these days? Love the incredible exhaust note, so savage.
c63 a mile muncher. Poor comparison of cars someone jus wanted to drop in they had an AMG. CANT BLAME YOU
I have never actually commented on a UA-cam video before but I have to say I have been a subscriber for maybe 6 or 7 months and I am continually impressed with how down to earth you seem. I think its easy for people to write off car youtubers as pretentious and condescending because you obviously have a fair amount of wealth and opportunity.However, we all have a passion for cars and the fact that you choose to share your opportunities with us in the manner that you do is very impressive to me. You really do allow us to escape into a world that we may not have access too without making us feel belittled which is what makes your channel stand out to me. Keep up the great work, looking forward to more videos and more cars. Cheers!
+Mutiny 8730 Awesome to hear thanks buddy, it's a pleasure to be able to share these experiences and adventures with like minded people, thanks for the support, lots more to come!
James, seriously, you are the only person I know of who believes in using their cars for the purpose they were so designed. I'm a GT4 owner who drives as many mountain roads as possible and never see another sports car. If you ever make it to the US, and want to experience some roads in Arizona, drop me a line. Keep up the purest car channel.
+GravityFighter Sounds good man thanks for the support 👍🏻
I Love that you take time to answer to everyones comments, shows how much time and how much you cares about your fans, rarely sees that on YT anymore, hats off to you James👏🏻
+Tobias “2Bi” Ahlzen Always! It wouldn't be very "social" media after all 😜
You are literally the best supercar owner I know of. They're cars and they should be driven!
Best car youtuber ever I've said this multiple times but how have you not got 2mill subs and mo vlogs has 😂
+JAontheway 07 The world is a strange place - I think I'd sooner retain my integrity and stick at 150k and growing 😂
incestuous content with his sister?
That's because Mo is "colored" and his channel went from literally nothing with a shitty camera to blowing up overnight and having professional production help after a bunch of black folks complained that they weren't getting front page placement on UA-cam so after a meeting with them the staff at UA-cam had to find some well spoken people of color to promote that would be appealing to a wide audience...Mo was one of those people. UA-cam literally tried to shove his channel down my throat. He has the fastest growing car channel on UA-cam of all time. That's what happens when UA-cam promotes you to the exclusion of others because of your skin color.
Lana rose...
You have my respect. Cars are meant to be driven
+Lennard Hartman Indeed they are - 100 smiles per gallon!
By far the best car featured on this channel imo. Keep it up! ;)
+IZzelYy Sweet, I'll feature it more often!
Mr JWW It would be great to have just à single gopro facing the road and your steering wheel to enjoy the sound from the inside while you're driving. That sound is intoxicating! ;)
That lens flair at 9.29 is perfecccctttt. "James seriously, cars are made to be driven, not parked in a garage for their whole lives" ~ said no one ever.
The GT3 still looks the business with that wrap!
This is my favorite GT3. I love the lower spoiler, more discrete, beautiful in my opinion
+Michael Jackson I prefer the GT3 wing VS the RS too 👍🏻
So glad I found a guy that loves the Porsche 911 gt3. Favourite car ever
Absolutely fantastic! Buying a car and not using it is like having a life and not living it! At the end of the day you may get more money if you add less miles, but will those money give you the same feeling and excitement of the experience of driving a beast like a 991 GT3...thanks for this video!
absolutely brilliant!!!! ive been saying that to people here as to why i drive mine year round. they are meant to be driven anytime,anywhere and any weather!! fantastic video yet again!!
I couldn't wait until the end before commenting.
1) The start sequence 👏🏽
2) The gun bit 😂😂
3) Just off to keep watching..... caio!
+4 Smoking Tailpipes Ha ha thanks bro!
I drove my M4 for 56K mile in a year, seems like I'm not the only crazy guy. Lol. Awesome video. 18K is the salvage mileage for a super car, but still better than leaving it in the showroom.
I am guilty to constantly wanting my car clean etc. It's such a breath of fresh air to see how you drive, own and talk about these cars. As always, excellent content Mr JWW 👍
+Darren Nice Thanks Darren, it is nice to have a clean car but it's more relaxing to just get on with it and use it as a joy tool rather than a show pony!
That intro was on point would like to see more where that came from 👌👌
Hey man ,do you know the title of that song??
He tried a Salomondrin kind of intro, that's where it came from
i like the way you ended this video. on a high (rev) note. this i think is the best way to make car vlogs. showing people how to properly use a supercar. unlike most people who buy them to be garage queens
Mega vid mate! Vid doesn't do the noise justice!!
+Archie Hamilton Racing Cheers bro! You know how nuts that thing sounds! 😜
I'm back!!
Loved it all James. Great to hear that people like you buy cars and use them properly as well as getting well and truly attached as I have with my C63. Please don't stop doing what you're doing man. It's great to somehow feel a part of it!
I love the GT3 and the content you provide with it! I hope you don't get rid of this car for quite a while!
Life is too short to let a car sit there. People need to realize the value of the drive is worth more than the value of the car!
+DualSport Great saying!
Mr JWW heard a good one , not driving it to keep mileage down for trade-in is like not screwing girlfriend to keep her tidy for the next guy 😄just saying
I agree with you Mr JWW. about driving the cars. sadly most non car people buy these cars and don't realize how amazing they are. if it were a collectors vintage car, like extremely rare, I understand. heck even with regular cars people don't like to put miles on their cars. they don't realize their cars aren't investments. great video. love for gt3 rs
Got to be honest. this is my fave of all the cars you own. It's such a stunning car and i love the fact the car absolutely filthy.
This remains my favourite if your cars. I had the good fortune of driving it along with a 458 and a GTR on track a while back. The GT3 was the clear winner imo. The best sound, shifting sensation and handling.
Thanks James. Always great to listen to your opinions. What a novel idea - actually driving a great car instead of storing it! I've had my share of garage queens over the years and in the end, the only one who benefited from my meticulous care of the car was the person I sold it to. So I finally said "screw it, I'm going to drive this thing and wring out all the pleasure I can."
man the wrapping of that car will always be the best of all the videos with the gt3,, 9 months the car must have given some good times
+jafri hossain Ha ha that was a great video! Little did I know it was going to transform the way it did!
i want a gt3, gt3rs, 675LT, rs6 and a f12 with an ipe exhaust system...
I wouldn't mind having the Range Rover and Audi S1 too
And just come I'm Loud and brash, I'd put a viper in the mix too so I could have a manual, plus all those other sexy ass cars
Phillip Berk i would have a manual 911R
I want a 997 gt3 rs, 458 speciale, CGT, Aston Martin dbs , and a Volvo XC90
If you haven't heard the talk about the manual gearbox you are not looking in the right place as there are plenty of people talking about it. Also Porsche are building the new GT3 with a manual gearbox so people are happy again that it will be an option. And finally the GT3 and RS models were never meant to be a daily car. They were meant to be a race car for the road. And having to change the gears yourself and manage revs etc is part of what the ownership experience and enjoyment of it. It's good that people can choose which gearbox they can have and maybe some will use them as a daily but that was never the intention of the originals.
Crazy to see the GT3 in silver when you're so used to the blue. The blue is just gorgeous.
I love manuals and I explicitly looked for a manual 5 series when I bought mine. But I can see the point you're making. Getting stuck in traffic isn't that fun with it, then again I would miss shifting on smaller, twisty roads.
I'm looking to buy one around 16-18 months after I get out of school that's my goal it will be my daily and I can't wait I come from a family with no money so I have no one's help but myself and that's what will make this special daily so much more special to me thanks for the video keep up the good work m8
Watching this video late, you are absolutely right, if you can afford the car, you can afford to drive it. Use it and create simply fantastic memories, we are all a long time dead...
Absolutely love the GT3. Definitely deserves to be showcased more on the channel.
Mr JWW a man who isn't afraid of grabbing his cars by the scruff of the neck and giving it what for. Another epic video man, your passion for your content, your cars and driving is mind blowing!!!
Hands down my favourti car from your line up. Keep on doing you thing James!
Been here since the day you got this one!
+TricksticKx Thanks a lot for being around from an early stage!
Thank you for posting amazing footage James!
I have the same car but in red, and I agree 100%. It's bizarre that such epic driving machines spend most of their life in a garage because the owner is hoping it appreciates. I also use mine to the full, drive to work sometimes, do autocrosses, do track days. I will probably get less for it when i sell but for me it's worth it as I have had phenomenal experiences, and as you say, in a few years these amazing engines will be history. We will all be humming around in electric self driving snoremobiles.
+Michael Nurse They also look so good in red... Guards Red? Make the most of it before self driving cars cock it all up 😂
Nice one JWW. You speak so much sense when it comes to Supercar ownership. The sound of a high revving, naturally aspirated engine. Driving v Hoarding. Sensational stuff.
You might be cool, but you'll never be MrJWW driving a GT3 cool...
+andy mc 👊🏻
plus youre the only car u tuber who i feel doesnt do it to make money or show off what youve got and thats why youre the only one i watch
+David Raynor Pleasure to share the adventures buddy!
Probably the only YT vids I watch start to finish. Keep it up 🤘
+brun747 Awesome to hear thanks man!
I use my Porsche for everything, supermarket, trips shopping park on the street and so. Its a great car for everything and really easy to park. Oh it has a lot of power and great handling too.
+Bob Smith Good lad 👍🏻
I totally agree with your mindset of driving and enjoying your cars. Heck cars these days are so reliable that miles are not a bad thing at all. High performance cars in particular need to be driven.
James, you could have just answered my question in the comments. But here you are as impressive as you can be, you answered my question through this video. Love that !! You're an Awesome UA-camr. Love 911 GT3, A perfect fantastic daily car!!!
Looking forward for some RS6 video next ?
+Mirza Belal RS6 coming soon! Thanks for the feedback buddy!
These videos just get better and better
Words cant describe how perfect is that wrap on the gt3, i'm totally in love
+Andre Tennis It works so well on this car!! Thanks man 👊🏻
This video made me feel happy. You know how to own a fun car.
Great stuff as usual,and great that your cars are not garage queens used as they should be with no mileage snobbery!
I think you hit it on the head ... it's a fscking super great daily driver and should be daily driven. That's why it's great (I personally pref. the TS over the GT3, as I like that extra space in the rear, and somewhat softer chassis, and faster acceleration (and quieter), but I'm so happy to see other people can really enjoy a car for what it is ... A CAR!!!
Well done. That's a heap 'in any man's language'. Glad to see you driving it, despite having other options.
You've easily become my favorite UA-camr. Thank you for making these videos, they're very entertaining and informative. You seem like such a genuine and cool guy. Btw, you may have answered this in the past, but what watch are you wearing? Always find myself gravitating towards your watches
+Chase Blackwood Cheers Chase! Watch is an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver 👍🏻 thanks for the support - lots more videos to come!
Silver looks better imo
Not all mileage heroes wear capes.
# ItsWhiteNoise z
10 points for the shooting sound effect ! I loved it !
Been a subscriber since you wrapped the gt3, def a dream car for me.
Keep up the good videos.
+zealouscoma Thanks for the support buddy!
Thanks for this Video....
Pure Petrolhead Impression.
The Sense is Indeed to Drive
The car and to feel it and The
Joy the car gives you can be
Seen. Lucky guy thanks for sharing.
+Stelvio Pass Good to see you again Stelvio! Thanks for watching 🚗💨💨💨
Mr JWW you should drive also the
Carrera GT any Chance to See you in
This car once? ...
The only youtuber that when i see a new video i cant wait to watch it! amazing video and the intro was awesome! I have a car with paddle shift and i enjoy it more then a manual! auto/semi auto gearboxes have come a long way :p
+Tom Watts Awesome to hear thanks Tom!
you should make the wheels gloss black and it would look incredible with the blue
Love the blue wrap - I prefer it over Porsche's Sapphire Blue, for example.
You are 100% the best car youtuber out there and your content is absolutely amazing , keep up the good work bro 😄👌🏻
Great point, can't agree more👍🏻 Good cars need to run & PDK can still enjoy the joy of the ride😎
Very well said... too many of my friends rarely drive their sports cars due to resale value or being too afraid of rock chips/scratches/mileage... I drive the piss out of my Porsche and the only time I don't drive it is during snow storms due to being RWD and summer performance tires
+vdubjetta02 And you sir will look back on your driving career and be a happy man for doing so! 👍🏻 enjoy every mile buddy! 😄
I can't drive my M during winter :( but hats off to you for driving yours.
I love your thinking Mr JJW! You spend that kind of money you need to enjoy it. If I had the money to buy one, I would driving it like I stole it. Congrats on your channel expanding.
Dude your video editing just gets better and better! Such an inspiration for success, hope to see you on the road around here one day!
+Ed Tate Thanks a lot Ed I really appreciate it 👍🏻
Thanks James, we love that you want to share with us. Keep it up man!
Fair play. You have an awesome car collection and your enthusiasm for them comes across on camera 🎥 keep up the great work 👍
+Car Crazy! thanks buddy! Lots more to come!
Some very valid points in there, points that I completely agree with. By the way I'm glad you decided to keep the blue, it's so much more interesting than the silver.
I would click "like" multiple times if I could. You're killing it man.
James, I think a stone may have made a desperate attempted to experience the GT3 from inside. Like you said these machines were designed and built to be enjoyed, owners must treat it as such. Keep up the sharing!
NICE Audemars Piquet Royal Oak Offshore
+pennfootball71 Good spot 👍🏻
Mr JWW Been collecting watches 19 years ;)
Not something I'd do personally. Tantamount to wearing a Patek Philippe to the gym. A GT3 on a commute everyday, drudging through the traffic in snow and ice, or savouring a nice day on a lovely road. Each to their own - guess it would dramatically reduce your video opportunities if you chose the latter! 😉
I rarely comment on videos but I will make an exception on this one because I totally agree with you on this. Cars are made to be enjoyed and driven not be treated as an investment.... although they are not mine so I only to respect 😉. kudos for you Sir. tough and thumbs up 👍🏻
+Carlos P Nice to hear from you thanks for the comment Carlos! 🚗💨💨💨
The best way to share your vehicle experience is to..... hand me the keys?
Great videos. My favorite channel. Always enjoy your adventures. Cheers!
With reference to one of your main points regarding mileage of supercars; perhaps it's due to the fact that most of us work ludicrously hard during the week and don't film supercars for a living...
+EnzoFerraridude Time has nothing to do with it - I run several businesses, mentor for others and find time to film and edit all my own UA-cam content - you can drive to the alps and back in a weekend from the U.K. - no excuses.
I agree to some extent. One must absolutely make the most of the weekends, particularly when you're young with few commitments/dependants. It is worth noting however, that many people practising and following their passion don't have as flexible working hours as those who run their own businesses. I love your content by the way, so apologies for sounding negative. :)
Your accountant will love this video in case the IRS questions the GT3 write-off ;)
I can't wait to get my car. I'm literally selling 99% of all of my property (most of a large arms collection, a shit-load of ammunition, a M109A3 Military Truck w/ lots of modernization parts, etc.) and taking roughly $60,000-$80,000 to buy a pre-owned Porsche 911 or an Audi R8 and the rest ($40,000-$60,000) to buy camera equipment (and to live for the year) so I can film myself traveling the States going to car shows, gun shows, and doing other awesome shit. I'm currently in the process of going through everything and creating an itemized list of the things I'm selling and their values. Hopefully it can all be sold and the car bought within 6-12 months.
Nice video James - I really got a sense of your gratitude for your position and your overall humility - good for you :)
Amazing again James, what a sound wow, thanks for sharing Mr JWW !
+Jan van den Bos A pleasure as always buddy thanks for watching!
Yes James! Back on track! I'd pick your GT3 over the Trading 212 RS any day. I suggest you ditch them unless the financial benefit is substantial!
Well done James! Keep enjoying your cars.
Yo james your editing skills are like the best of whole youtube and for sure one of the best of tv. Love all the hard work you're putting in it. Really amazing quality and your voice and story every vid doesnt bore me a bit so keep going on👌🏻
James, you should order the 991.2 GT3 with the rumored manual gearbox! Bit of a financial strain, but it would be awesome to keep the 991.1 and compare the PDK GT3 with the "desired" manual car. Cheers from Toronto
My boyfriend has had 2 F-Types (currently an R) which he also put high mileage on from daily driving and agrees with your point completely about people being too precious about depreciation. Why is it that a "cheap" car can do many miles and still be considered near-new, yet somehow these well-engineered cars are considered to age prematurely? People need to use these cars more instead of treating them as garage queens.
Nice rant, someone needed to say it. But note you don't need to have to have a supercar to enjoy driving. My old E46 M3 gives me all the enjoyment that I need.
+supertouring22 I fully agree! If it makes you smile you're winning!
Well spoken and totally agreed
+Dr_Curly 🤘🏻
Great vid man. I like how you have tried something different. You deserve a lot more subscribers!
James, could you just keep it forever? Gosh i love that car.
