Persian Stig and an 812 that never shows: SOL's investment supercar hunt
Tom and Paul go shopping for cars that might hold their value, and the comments turn into a debate about prices, bubbles and a Mercedes C63 Black Series that cost more than a Ferrari 296.

IDIOTS GO INVESTMENT SUPERCAR SHOPPING
Two uploads, one steady channel. SOL, the London supercar channel that has been filming exotic cars for nearly twenty years, spent its week shopping.
The headliner is "IDIOTS GO INVESTMENT SUPERCAR SHOPPING," a collaboration that its comments place in the long run of SOL videos with TGE. The title's question is whether any of these cars are a safe place for money, and viewers took it seriously. Some argue that inflated prices for collector cars are a warning sign; one reply is simply startled that a Mercedes C63 Black Series was priced above a Ferrari 296. Others spot a 765LT they think they recognize from a known collector. Older fans light up at a cameo from Persian Stig, a name from the early days of London's supercar spotting scene. The most liked comment is a grumble, though: an 812 Competizione appears in the thumbnail promise but not in the video.
The other upload, "We Found a RARE £100,000 Supercar No One is Buying!", started slower but is now picking up more views a day than the shopping trip.
Neither of them is the channel's busiest video. That is a two-week-old long-term test, "Living With a 2026 Corvette Z06 in the UK | Better than 911 GT3?", which has passed 100,000 views and is still drawing well over twice what either new upload manages each day. An American V8 against the Porsche benchmark, on British roads, is clearly a question people want answered.
Overall the channel ran right at its usual pace, and the subscriber count held where it was. Among similar car channels it was a calm week for most; Sofya Temnikova's wordless garage drew by far the biggest crowd, while Mark McCann ran a little above his own norm.

Persian Stig! What a throwback. Is that guy still about? I remember his red Gallardo. He was always ahead of the game.
