The first video I ever saw of yours started with you in an Ali G outfit, and I literally thought to myself wtf is this guy. I continued watching anyway and quickly learnt your character. Got to say i love the fact you don't take life to seriously and you bring such a light hearted humour to the content. Love how you're so excited about the r8 in this video, you can genuinely see the sense of achievement you feel. I think that's what makes your channel so watchable as people root for you, knowing you're not just some rich kid showing off cars, you've worked for it, and learnt skills to put it into practice and make things work. A genuine youtuber providing great video and entertainment for us. Really hope you achieve your 250k subscribers

Nice Matt. I’ve owned a 5.2 v10 version of this, you could retro fit a v10 front and rear bumper. The v8 also has a common flat spot in second gear at around 3k revs that can be remapped out. I found it dangerous with a flat spot so check it out. All the best with it. You can also retro fit a white cluster dial to the dash too which looks tonnes better 😎👍

Do whatever whacky thing youv got planned to maseratti. If I were you I'd just return that R8 to its glory days. Just make it run sweet and look clean and standard, keep the coilovers as it sits nice. Maybe a nice clean splitter and perhaps a spoiler extention. OEM+. Get it professionally detailed once done. Keep it that colour. Get all the Interior bits cleaned or retrimmed if needed. That would be a good series to watch.

The rest is obvious like an aftermarket bumper mahbe some cool side skirt. Hope this gives you a cool idea ;).
