All right guys, welcome back to the channel - it's been a while since i've done one of these so let's
put 5 minutes on the clock and let's get going all right guys so i just want to hit on a few
things that have been going on on my channel over the last few weeks i haven't done a "5
Minute Friday" for a while so one of the things that happens when you have a YouTube Channel is
you post a video and then maybe 2 years later you're still getting comments daily on that
video that you shot 2 years ago and in your memory it's kind of faded but people are still viewing it
today for the first time so it's quite a strange thing and one of the things that happens is you
get a lot of people putting the same comment they don't know they're doing it they just
they just have the same thought so um a few one of the ones that keeps coming up is last year
last march i did a video about about a super yacht that sank it's the largest superyacht to
ever sing it's called called "Yogi" and it's a 40 meter boat and i made a four-part series about it
it's been very popular been very well received i had a lot of people contact me who worked on the
boat and people who were accident investigators and stuff like that and they were telling me
about how how they enjoyed the show the video and everything like that so that was really nice but
by the way if you haven't seen it you should go and check it out i'll put links in all
the usual places but one of the things that keeps coming up is one of the most frequently
mentioned comment is the fact that they think it was some sort of insurance fraud scheme
and the crew were in on it and all that kind of stuff and I have to say the act the idea
of being on a ship- in the engine in rough weather it at night 3 o'clock in the morning
and and thinking to myself someone's offered me money to sink this vessel that i'm on that
the only thing that's keeping me alive right now is this vessel among the idea to sink it for money
when you're on a vessel it doesn't matter how much money you've been offered the idea
it just it just goes against everything you've ever known as as a semen to want to actually
sink that vessel from beneath your feet not knowing if you'll even make it out alive so
the idea of that happening is very unlikely um and and what i've written down in my notes here is to
never underestimate incompetence and i don't mean that against anyone if that if they feel that it
was was beyond their control but the idea is that you can have a series of errors and this is what
happens in accident investigations they always say there was a series of mistakes or errors or
issues failures that culminated in this this thing happening and i think that is probably the likely
scenario here like i said if you haven't seen it go back and watch it it's a really good um
it's a really good series of videos but anyway i just wanted to say that on camera today
continuing with that theme one of the other most frequently comments i get is i made a video i
think it must have been over a year ago now and i made it here in general and i made a video
called why are so many super yachts for sale and one of the comments that keeps coming up
almost every day is people say the best day when you buy a yacht
and then the next best day is when you sell it and you know that might be the case for people who are
working people like myself like i might buy a small boat and then i just put loads of money
into it and i can't afford the payments and then i sell it and then i'm happy and i was
happy when i bought it and i'm happy when i saw it i think i understand that comment
however the people who buy these big superyacht 100 meters and stuff like that
they have so much money the amount of money they put into these yachts is quite significant
and it's really hard for me to be able to put it into perspective but when i worked i worked
on one of the largest shops they ever worked on i i thought that this boat was you know one of the
big things in his life that he would be putting all his money into it and it must be on his mind
all the time until i visited one of the states where he lived in the south of France and it was
massive and when i left his private pier and was sailing back to the boat the
super yacht that i worked on -after we being in the- we were in a zodiac and after
we've been gone for about 10 minutes- the guy in the boat- I was that relatively new at the time -
-the guy in the boat said to me this is still the boss's property so we've been going at sea we've
been doing like 20 knots for about 10 minutes and we were still not away from the boss's property
it was huge and then and then it re then it dawned on me that the boat was just a toy
in the same way that my 911 is is just a toy you know but it's not even the same because to me it
is a toy but the amount of money i put into my 911 in comparison to what he puts into his boat
is from me is higher i put more of what i have as total into my 911 that he puts into his
massive 130 meter boat so yeah it was wasn't until i saw that property with the underground car
garage and all this kind of stuff that i realized that the boat is just the toy moving on uh
i recently very recently- this is all about comments by the way -but very recently i made a
video about "Planet Nine" and i talked about i talked about "Planet Nine" of the vessel
and i talked about various different things and one of the things i mentioned in the video is
the reason why it's good to have a helicopter hangar because the helicopter they can lower
the helicopter into that hangar and it it reduces the center of gravity uh because the
you know the helicopter sat out on deck apart from the fact that it's exposed to the elements and
salt water et cetera that and also when you're in with weather you have to strap it down and
also there's always that possibility that the helicopter could slide off and fall into the water
damage the vessel as it goes in but also putting it in that hangar which is lower down
it lowers that weight so it reduces the roll of the boat now i got quite a few comments on that
video saying that you know people who was obviously googled the weight of that
helicopter until it only weighs 2,100 pounds therefore won't make that much difference well
you'd be surprised how much difference it would make and one of the things that a
superyacht does even the big super yachts is when they when they go to sea they drain the pools
because it's that that weight whilst that's anchor is fine but at sea the weight of that pool
will drastically alter the stability of the vessel um so so anything like that is is is um
the pool will be drained and they'll have um tanks low down where they'll drain that water
into those tanks to lower that center of gravity so the same thing for the
heli goes for the helicopter all right guys so i don't know where i am with the "5 Minutes"
i'm suspecting i'm already have already blown through it okay so the last thing is
unbelievably it's almost that time for me to head home back to the UK it's been almost
2 months i've been here it has absolutely flown by i don't know where the time has gone
i i had all these ideas for all these type all these videos i was gonna film while i was here
and unfortunately i've not been able to do all of the ones that i wanted to do
part of that is because there are still limits with travel because of covert and i want
desperately want to go back to Monaco. it's one of my favorite places i even though i'm just you know
2 and a half hours away i still can't go there i would still i'd have to go into isolation
and all that kind of stuff to cross if i crossed over into france so unfortunately i can't do that
right now but yeah it's almost that time to go home i'm gonna i'm going to be filming the trip
on the way home like i did in the previous one hopefully i won't run out of fuel this time
if you have if you haven't seen those videos check out my other channel i'll put a link
everywhere every all the places that you normally put links stupidly i'm sitting here
and then i just glanced down on my fuel and the fuel says zero and the light is orange
i had quite an adventure last time i went home but i i do have something in the boot of my car
which you'll see in that video that or if you watch the new video i produce
you'll see that that will prevent me from running out of fuel in the future
but what i'm going to be doing is another "Q&A"
I actually really enjoyed doing it and it actually took up so much time to film it that
it made the trip go that much quicker i think it was one of the reasons also i forgot to put
fuel in the car because i was so busy filming come on. -"Have you ever been propositioned by any
lady yacht owner or guest?"- but i'm going to do that and i'm going to ask you to ask me some questions
if you put the questions below if you put the #Italy#2UKtrip and then
ask your question and then i can find them easily and then i will do my best to
to answer those on the way home but i hope you will join me on on the other channel i i'll put
the question and answers on this channel obviously you can ask me any questions you can ask me
questions about cars if you don't know already i'm going to be picking up my new car when i go home
i'm picking up a new Porsche you can check that out on my other channel.
there's information about that already on the other channel but if you watch
the other channel -if you go and subscribe to the other channel you will be able to see me
actually collect that new car which is going to be on the 30th of this month yeah which is a
week on wednesday so i'm gonna go and collect the car you can see that on the other channel
i will put the road trip will be on the other channel -the Q&A will be on this channel - i will put
notices everywhere so don't worry if you don't if you didn't follow it just now in this video
one other thing on Wednesday night i went to the first day of the
the mille miglia which is the thousand miles it literally means thousand miles in
Italian and it is a nice race that has been done since 1927 in Italy - what 1927 to 1957
they had the mille miglia which was the original race which was an actual race a road race
there were two fatalities in 1957 and the race was cancelled
and since 1977 they've basically been doing reenactments where the original cars -any car that
originally took place in the in the race from 1927 to 1957 those cars automatically
qualify to be involved in the new ones so as a result you get to see some amazing cars
one of the standout cars for me on Wednesday was a 1952 Ferrari 340 Spyder America
a multi-million dollar car on the roads fantastic anyway i filmed a lot of it was quite an
impromptu trip and i wasn't actually expecting to film so i didn't have a lot of my equipment but i
filmed with my camera that i had with me on my phone and i'm going to edit it and put it
on my other channel i'm also going tomorrow this is a five minute friday on saturday i'm
also going to brescia which is in northern italy to see the last day of the mile miglia and i'm
hoping to film some more and i will put it on the channel as soon as i get the chance to edit it
anyway guys that there's a lot of information to put into this video because i haven't done this
for so long um i hope you enjoyed the video if you've got any questions put them below
