I find Parker more annoying than shmee...I can at least watch Shmee’s videos. Parker is a dbag.
The Mercedes-AMG GT is a series of 2-door sports cars produced by Mercedes-AMG. While not directly replacing the SLS AMG (competing in a different segment), it is the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG.

oh, I see we're bagging on the Shmee here.
Agree with Hova, Parker is a consumate dbag and is more tolerable to the Shmee. Still has a punchable face, he can't do much about that; that's between him and his parents. Well, he could stop doing these videos, I guess.
Betty, couldn't decide whether your post be deemed "funny" or "informative," I decided on the latter as I did wonder about the origins of "berks." "The more you know" and all.
Also fake vents must die. Seriously, why do car designers bother with this BS.
EDIT: I meant to say Shmee's more tolerable than Parker.

The term "Supercar Berks" actually came from a U.K. Journalist Steve Sutcliffle formally of Autocar who used the term to describe the participants of the Gumball Rallies. Which these individuals who populate you tube are a by product of that event. The one time where you show off in your Supercar, kill somebody because of your recklessness and then throw copious amounts of money to make it go away.
Anyway. I love the GT in person.

Does the fully uncovered model posted earlier in this thread not qualify as a leak? If I'm not mistaken that was the real thing.

It's annoying everytime I enter a automotive search query on YT, I see their thumbnails of their faces for the entire 1st page. They spend looots of money optimizing viewership. Salmondrin too and the rest of the YT car vlogger lot.
Both come from "daddies" money, so they had a financial platform to become YTer's for a living.
They do make a fortune through ad or something.And to be honest,they live an automotive life I do envy.

Yes, nowadays if you have over 1mill subscribers on YT you're making six-figures minimum.

It's worth noting the glory days of being a Youtuber have passed. You have to work a lot harder for the money, even with 1 million subscribers. I"m not exactly sure 1 million subscribers is paying out that much anymore.

Interesting. And it seems like a lot of them buy a supercar before buying themsleves a home or investing. Priorities.
We're OT, but at least we know the GT4 will be out tomorrow.

Exactly. Ad revenue isn't as lucrative as it was 5-10 years ago. A million subscribers will not earn you enough ad revenue to afford a trifecta of supercars.
Shmee, JWW and Solomondir come from money and have made a small fortune outside of YouTube.
Seen through glass and supercars of London buy their cars through Gravelwood Cars who help with financing and gets promotion in return.
Bear in mind that YouTube vloggers are self employed and some are well under the age of 30. To get decent financing or even a mortgage, they would need to put alot more money upfront than a high paid employed individual.
