Thank you for covering this. It was definitely interesting to see the scepticism around this car before it was launched and how it’s image has risen after getting into the hands of owners. I myself was a bit sceptical in regards of how much better it is to the 720S. Would be interesting to hear someone with more knowledge go in detail comparing the 720S and 765LT.

[@RobertMitchell]

Since I didn’t buy one I’m bit sure when I’ll get my hands on one. We shall see as I’d love to compare

[@Pedro-vh4yz]

765lt doesn't do 8s in stock form, it was tuned...

[@RobertMitchell]

You’re right it was low 9s. I’ll correct. But.....

[@thecasterkid]

In all fairness, I did NOT realize the situation with the car from the dealership (it was pre-production etc) and even though McLaren's comment wasn't very savvy, it makes waaaaayyyyyy more sense understanding that part of the story. I don't feel that was clear enough in the first video. But maybe I missed it? Glad you made a point to spell that out in this one. But again, it does make McLaren's response far more sensible, if not necessarily advisable.

[@RobertMitchell]

As I said in the video the dealer was definitely at fault, nevertheless I'm glad that it's been sorted out and that Brookes did get his apology as he is more creditable than they made out for him to be. Thanks for watching and I'm glad that you enjoyed the video :-)

[@DrehzahlDieter]

I think what you said around 9 min about the Hybrid between KZbinr/owner/Journalist is right. And a good example in my opinion is Matthias Malmedie. He has been a long time moderator for the more fun orientated TV show GRIP on German TV but also does his own Videos on KZbin where he talks more in-depth and about the mechanics and how everything feels for him. Plus he is a pretty good driver. And actually, he made a video with the Elva in Moncao and had the clearance from McLaren to do so.

[@RobertMitchell]

I agree, we've done a bit of work at Apex with Matthias and he's a great guy :-)

[@TexRobNC]

I'm not some Brooks super fan, if I'm honest I think we probably aren't anything alike, but we both love cars. To act like Brooks isn't the number one person providing free advertising for Mclaren on KZbin is just denying reality. Drag Times is why I fell in love with the 720s, and got me super interested in the brand. Complaining about drag racing is like kicking someone out for putting ketchup on a hot dog, ie, about as snobby as you can get.

[@RobertMitchell]

I agree and as I said he's done wonders for the brand, it's good to see that he got his apology :-)

Good video as ever Robert. I think that the situation was handled perfectly by Brooks for doing what McLaren asked in the beginning and didn't then shot them down later by the comments made. I'd like to think that this was respected by McLaren for staying quiet and letting the grass grow a bit & see what happened. The response and reply by McLaren was good and cleared up the situation without too much fluffin' In this day and age KZbinr's have way more influence than any magazine. Yes there are The Good, The Bad & The Ugly but clever people know how's telling the truth. Looking fwd to seeing Brooks & yourself rippin' some cars a new one round a race track (DILUSI)

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

I think it is great that it turned out this way and if a Robert Michell video helped McLaren take this action, then good for you for helping them out. I actually think the original sin is with McLaren. Somewhere in their culture, they produced a senior exec that is a stupid jerk. Good that they smelled the rubber burning and pulled back and did some damage control. The fact it was a reaction to revolt is revealing. Let's hope they are learning from the much needed slap in the face. They make an awesome car that is great to own if you can accommodate big expenses and massive depreciation with your awesome drive.

When you have hundred VPs at some point you get one that has his own ideas or maybe even a bad day. I hope they see it and stay working to get all systems back on track

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

@@RobertMitchell True, that sometimes happens. Generally the VP goes in the penalty box. What also happens a lot is there is a corporate culture that is widespread among the execs.

Like they are trying “if there is a will there’s a way,” and “Field of Dreams” type BS , instead of exclusive product with a potential higher adoption rate because of country of origin and other previously established brand differentiation... that the current management can only ruin!

[@RobertMitchell]

You're better off asking Misha ha ha! Thanks for watching :-)

[@rgeorgek42]

Next up, an apology from BMW Marketing....haha. One can dream 💭

[@RobertMitchell]

Hehehehhe. Not gonna hold my breath

[@_Archambaud]

You have to protect your brand.ferrari does it better.apex does it.but they have to be carefull.mc Claren made a good choice to clear the air

[@RobertMitchell]

I agree, it was a good move for McLaren to apologise and I'm glad they did :-)

[@Pyotr_Velikiy]

McLaren should invite Brooks to the UK to do some trackdays with the Elva.

[@RobertMitchell]

Would be a big win

[@clippzzorito1420]

"A drop in the bucket" and yet.....

[@RobertMitchell]

Yep ha ha

[@paulchen508]

Mclaren threats customer, employees, youtuber and car enthusiasts the same way. I really don’t get it why people find the case with Dragtimes so astonishing. Just walk in a Mclaren Dealer with a big camera as a young person and you will now the brand very well. (Very different story with pretty much every other brand)

[@RobertMitchell]

Hey Paul, it was just a shock to see someone like Brooks who has owned many McLarens for many years to be treated that way by someone so senior at McLaren. I do agree with you however the dealer was definitely at fault. Thanks for watching have a great day :-)

[@wilseph1]

Them apologies, doe.

[@RobertMitchell]

Haha!

[@twoeyedbob]

Curious on your take on Doug de muro’s recent ‘Too many special mcclaren’s video ‘ ?

[@matmul4850]

Yea that was interesting, especially as Doug didnt mention other manufaures like Porsche or Ferrari.

[@RobertMitchell]

I need to watch it. Hadn’t heard of it until the comments here.

[@geemanbmw]

Only thing these guys learned is that their not wealthy enough to own a McLaren

[@RobertMitchell]

Who learned that?

[@chuckcts-v3460]

What will McLaren have to say about Vtuned, a young KZbinr in Tennessee rebuilding a 720S from a total? He had to completely replace a cracked tub, in next video he might have it ready to drive. The car was wrecked with less than 3,000 miles. Vtuned is a very experienced frame/body man and is appx. 18 years old. McClaren what say you?

[@RobertMitchell]

Well I am sure they’d love to do the repair themselves but all manufacturers must accept that at some point I depended work will take over and Gitter done cheap

[@MrCyberamp]

Mclaren has a questionable PR department I admit. They don't try their best, or can't keep up, but they have a take-it-or-leave-it Ferrari attitude to their customer.

[@ventouxR]

What happened to him is just because he done it first.

[@RobertMitchell]

Maybe so that could be correct.

[@paulaus]

As Vermouth is wine based and not that high in Alcohol you should keep it in the fridge. And throw it out after three months if not finished earlier 😉 Trust me it will improve the taste of your Negroni.

[@RobertMitchell]

Haha I know, my brother wears this shirt around me frequently. We just bring it out for the videos so you guys can see. Thanks for watching and thanks for the suggestion you are correct :-) moverandshakerco.com/products/well-woes-black-t-shirt-pre-order?_pos=2&_sid=36675a524&_ss=r
