But he's not just a youtuber/influencer like Archilles or Shmee, I believe he owns a pretty large tuning business with quite a few workers and knows his engineering, at least compared to regular youtubers; also knows his driving by driving the modified cars on their resident local track. See e.g. the part at 20:00 where he points out design/features of the S58 engine (edit: the automatic subtitle translation isn't really great I have to admit). He's probably not the best at any of it, but he's pretty good all-around when it comes to knowledge, driving, reach and access. Last edited by mbanck; 07-27-2022 at 04:49 PM.. |

Yep if you are talking about JP, I totally agree. Last time I heard him count it was approx 60 ppl on the payroll . And that's prop 1,5 years ago. I find him very knowledgeable about a lot. And what he don't know about, he brings in specialists to explain about, or travel to see specialists on anything to explain things

Though I have to admit to people who don't understand german it really looks like some dork is running around the assembly line joking/fooling around and annoying the workers. By the way, he also got a tour of the M4 GT3 being built, which is also very informative if you understand german: |

Admittedly, I don't watch barely Shmees videos, anymore. I think he's ok. Not as technical as a lot of other channels, but I was more into the channel when he was specing his Senna, and MSO McLarens.
And you're right, I think there's less of an attention span for someone to watch that doesn't speak German. I lived in Germany for 4 years, but I didn't live on the economy, and being on the military base, you may as well be in the US. Nobody speaks German. There definitely are some great channels out there. Some don't get as much airtime as others. I find myself really enjoying RBR (Remove Before Race) for all of the technical bits he gets into. I think he should have alot more subs. HIs channel is really good.

Interesting video - thanks for sharing!
SMH at people complaing about JP and comparing him to a trust fund baby who's never needed to work an honest day in his life.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what it is, but I'm just not that interested in the channel, anymore. I do watch alot of AutoTopNL. But, only the cars I think I would be interested in.

Not to be bias, but he just screams toff, doesn't he and whose dad doesn't also own an Aston, lol.
And IIRC he was born into a UK retail empire - Burtons - although who knows what the state of retail is like these days. I could be wrong, maybe someone was joking about the name but that's what I IIRCd. Like others I find him annoying and don't watch his stuff, just found it funny vis-a-vis someone else who is an actual IRL businessman and not just a social media grifter.

Apparently it was acquired by another company that then closed a year ago. Not saying they haven't stashed something somewhere. But that was never the point in this thread. Someone compared Shmee's access to plant floor with JP. As if they had same background of being there. I think we can all agree, that we rather see JP there explaining what's going on then Shmee simply because JP has more technical knowledge of what's going on. In general this was never the point of this thread. Point was to show some insights from the production of the CSL. I can still be impressed of the versatility in the production line in the plants. They can handle dd models next to limited number special editions. I've been in dingolfing plant myself and it is very impressive to see the production with the mixed versions on the same line. A visit worth

Great video.. always amazing that:
-these installers can fit every little panel, screw, and many more bits in the right place and at the right time on what is a relatively quick assembly line -that all the panels line up perfectly on the first shot (you see them just tap/bang with their fists.. nothing special) -how they ended up putting all the intercooler plumbing on the bottom of the s58. good luck if you ever have a leak (air/coolant) trying to detect or troubleshoot. Still think the CSL is a cool car... great color combo |
