Most people don't know or care who this bloke is, and you making a video about him would simply signal boost his idiocy Give this one a miss mate

Alex, don't do it. What you've done is fell for the ragebait that those channels deliberately do by design. You will look ridiculous by making this rant.

You bringing up the 911 from Clarkson's video raises a good point. The cars he was smashing up at the time were worthless, even that 911. Back then, they was very cheap cars. Yes, an air-cooled G-Body 911 now is at least £30k to get your foot in the door on a project, but back then, they were cheap and plentiful. You just need to look at the Wheeler Dealers 911 from 2006. That car was bought for £5,000, which adjusted for inflation, nowadays will buy you a shagged 996, the most unloved Porsche 911 (£8.5k), which in the eyes of a production team, is a cheap expendable car for conic relief that noone will care too much about them smashing up as there is 1,000s of others out there. Its why there was such an uproar when modern top gear wrecked the Matra and 106 Rallye, as they was rare. Everything else Clarkson smashed up, especially in the early days, were all either cheap, plentiful, or both. The only exception being the Alpine he smashed into a wall, but that looked to a deliberately sought out bad example, not a restored collectors example

While I fully stand behind the sentiment, I agree with others who say it's not the best idea to stoop to the level of these people and actually engage with their audiences. I'm happily ruthless with the block buttons on all my social media, and for me these people don't exist anymore. They find success because any attention is good attention, so the only winning move is not to play.

These people will only go away when we stop paying attention to them. I think I speak for us all when I say: I'd just like more of their best Top Gear content YouTube has ever produced I'll never watch a video tearing down YouTube idiots

I'll be honest, I don't know who this guy is or the Whistle guy and I can't say I'm even remotely interested in watching a video on how bad he is, I think for your channels sake you'd be better off putting in the time to work on TG content as that's what people subscribe to you for and I think it's only going to end up hurting your own channel as I don't think there's much of a viewer base inside your audience for such a video. That being said if it gets a load of views I'll eat a hat, best of luck will be watching your next TG video!

Life’s too short. Don’t waste your time pettifogging on nonsense like this.

i know its not nice to see people destroy any car for no reason, especially old cars. Lets be honest though, this car is not the rarest most valuable old cars. either way, if you want a nut like him to dissapear making a video about him will do the opposite. he wants the attention.

The cars wrecjed on top gear were cheap old wrecks when they started the show, And i have a great respect for Cars, even beaten old crap ones as a result of Top gear and all the cars they crashed and Rallied. that 911 was probably not cheap at the time but not a 1 of very few remaining examples if not the only one remaining in such a condition. it wasnt mindless destruction at the time of Top Gear either, it was usually to make or prove a point about a subset of cars.

He should have been in the car while it was wrecked at least!

Lads.
It has come to my attention that a talentless Ivan by the name of Evgeny Chebotarev just released a video of himself wrecking a 90 year old BMW and a 110 year old rifle. All while dressed like a Gucci tennis ball. No pictures beyond this one, look it up if you want, but I am furious beyond all reason.
I have legitimately had enough at this point. The "joke", if there ever was one, is long played out and it just needs to stop. It is EXACTLY why my upcoming video on WhistlinDiesel is sorely needed; if it wasn't for him, this guy would still be doing dumb stunts, not engaging in soul-destroying ragebait the likes of Mr. Detwiler pioneered. If *no-one else on YouTube* has the balls to step up to these people, I volunteer mine. I've got the audience, and I've already got more than enough counter-ammunition for the "b-but Clarkson!" types who'll invariably bring up stuff like the 911 destruction from Most Outrageous, as though there's a genuine comparison to be had. I'm ready and raring to go full scorched earth against every last one of these people.
In comparison, for those who might wonder what my feelings towards Tax The Rich are, the only thing he was ever guilty of was his F40 LM burning down in a genuine, freak accident. He clearly respected the cars he owned and the fire he suffered was a legitimate, unintended mistake. He is not a target of my ire and likely never will be, because at its core, he was genuine and someone who didn't have to pretend that he loved cars. Not like certain Oscar-worthy performances where a different YouTuber who most likely grew up around cornfields pretended that a red-hot V12 dragging against bone-dry maize wouldn't result in a massive fire (spoiler alert: it did), inconveniencing a rental firm who happened to loan his friend a Chrysler minivan that also ended up incinerated.
My latest revision of the script already had a bit on this bald Russian fraud, but thanks to this senseless act of historic destruction, he's getting a few more paragraphs and a starring feature as far as I'm concerned. He can sic whoever he wants on me, I'm not scared of this limpwristed coward or whoever his connections may be in the slightest. If he or Cody or Jellybean ever experience a downfall in their careers, I want to be front and centre of it until they learn to leave us the hell alone.
For me, the days of "live and let live" are over. After the success of my last video, I will be going after all of these figures equally and with no punches pulled. Especially Junkie Jimbo. And there'll be a sizable focus on the likes of Squeeze Benz too, just to make sure every base is adequately covered on how car enthusiasts are continually being failed online in terms of entertainment and the people who get popular.
Why?
Because I'm pissed off over people who don't have a modicum of talent getting more money than they know what to do with after perhaps a handful of years of moderate hardship at most. My hobby is not some spoilt undisciplined rich brat's punching bag, be they Russian or American. Spit on me, I'll spit on you in return. Until YouTube and other social media outlets become platforms where hard work and genuine skill is rewarded over unoriginal, algorithm-chasing losers causing the most seethe.
