Yes, exactly.  Bloody drag race videos. Auto journalists equivalent of going on the game.

He always said he hated drag races and they were pointless. But, offered that chance you have to take it. It’ll hopefully help his channel grow a lot.

Yes.

I just hope he doesn't drastically alter the slant of his content to cater for all his about to be new followers.  :undecided:

Will Mr Wizard get much more than a passing mention in Carwow’s vid? Most guests don’t, just a quick link to their channel or insta. Certain people get full cameo roles but not many. We shall see, but Mat seemed a bit blasé with Andrew in the snippets from the ‘day in the life’ vid.

Andrew desperately wants VW Press to take him seriously but he cut his teeth with Volkswagen Driver mag over the years as a contributor so he’s stayed true to what he does so far in being open and fairly frank and honest.
He’s a car dealer that relies on enthusiasts too so can’t go overboard with saying new cars are the best to appease VW. He’s on the right track I think, by and large.
Mind you, even Clarkson and Harris had their heads reasonably in tune with regular people before fame and fortune inserted their heads somewhere else.

Having owned a TCR and mk8 Clubsport myself I think he’s got that review pretty spot on in areas that are significant. Obviously to go into deep nitty gritty stuff he’d be recording two hour long vids that just wouldn’t keep most people’s attention span and would be a nightmare for him too.
It’ll be interesting to see what he makes of the R.
Unfortunately the 8R is doomed to attract a certain following but it’ll be good for viewing figures. A drag race is what the R excels at so he did exactly the right thing there, putting it up against supposedly bigger guns as well as doing his usual thing driving his usual roads etc.
I’m looking forward to his R vid.

Doesn’t seem fair to me. We’ll borrow your car but not even mention you.

That’s not the video is it? He was up against an A45S.

It’s the car but they had it before him too.

Actually, you're right. It was the A45 not the S3🙈
