The big fucking circle

Someone just pointed me towards the Vehicle Virgins channel who create a lot of videos in this style ... so if you enjoyed this, please head over and check out some of their content: kzfaq.info

I hate the white spot, white stripe, white lipstick, tyre writing and black spoiler, basically put it back to stock lol

Things I Hate About My Jaguar F-Type R: 1. I don't have one

The white dots 👀

Please make a video of how to ruin an F type because I can see you have already done it once.

lower your seating position. QED

I don't even know why Yianni's got more subscribers than you

I experience exactly the same in my f-type, I'm 6 foot 4,. Tall people struggles bro.

Its never hate.. just love... Things you might change, well thats a different story. Love your car mate!

Nice video! Loving your content more and more, every video I watch!

5 things I dont like about your car: 1) The white stripes 2) The white circle 3) The white stripes 4) The white circle 5) The white accents

2:12 The guy in the white van peeking through xD

You are the Casey Neistat of the car youtubers! Keep up the great work Sam!

i know 1 thing every 1 hates and thats the white dot on the sides :p

...but if you don't have 10 mins here's the 5 "HATED" things : 1 Rearview mirror size (too little) 2 Windscreen visibility (limited for tall people) 3 Distractive electric front seats (too many options) 4 Excessive soundproofing inside the car (or low exhaust sound) 5 Front engine is too confortable.

Hi bro! Can you make a video about what kind of car you should get as your first car? If you have a budget of like maximum 5 000£

You can see the man of 6:42 think: "Look at that poor man in his F-Type R. I'm glad that I don't have to deal with the problems that he is having!"

One of the main reasons I went for the F-Type S coupe was because it sounds so much better inside the cabin. Very classical, racy noise that just vibrates your eardrums. The F-Type R is insane outside, but inside you feel like your missing some of the action, quite similar to the maserati Quattroporte GTS for example. Other than that, the main reason I went with the S coupe is because iris lighter, and I won't lose my license quite as quickly.

i love those shots of the outside of the car while driving

Can't you put your seat lower? or is it as low as it can be already ?

You should teach Paul about music choice and the volume of it in videos...

I know people don't like the whole project 7 thing you've done with your car but I actually love it

Quality of editing is getting r e a l l y good now.

it's a hard life, hope you can make it through your pain. those refugees don't know how lucky they are 😊

every single "exterior mod" you have done to that car, is making it look like shit. Great job.

Great editing and video as usual!

the problems you have with your car 1) you're too tall for your low slung sports car 2) you're too tall for your low slung sports car 3) you're too ocd to sit back and enjoy the fact you can adjust your seat in every way possible 4) you don't like how 'jag' ish (refined) your jag is. open a fucking window 5) you don't like how such an amazing car has changed your perspective on cars these sound more like things you don't like about you than your car

If ever there was an example of having more money than sense...although I suspect that would still be the case if he only had 20p...

Music choice was really really good.

Shmee150 is the professional and technical guy, Paul is the cool guy and Sam is the funny guy! I always enjoy these videos! :)

5 things I hate about my F Type 1) The digital speedometer- is partially hidden by the steering wheel 2) You have no real idea where the front corners are 3) It picks up stones which get caught in the seals- and end up scratching the windows 4) It drinks petrol, especially as you'll keep putting it into dynamic and sport 5) Everyday someone - no matter what they are driving will want to race you. But none of that matters on a clear quiet road. I can see why you take the car abroad.

That click-bait title... "Hate" is too strong of a word

For some odd reason I just love those coloured paddles. Did you get to choose the colour of them or do they come like that? :p

rambling on, and on, and on.....last two minutes reveals you're looking for something deeper in life...and you best find it.

I'm sorry but that's definitely one of the best looking cars I've seen in a long time

#6 - The custom upgrades lol

3:24， “the things that suck in the wings..." lol, its called side bolsters.

you can easily pop off any trim, door cover, floor, etc and remove some sound dampening material then put the covers back again if you want it to sound cheap and loud.

The old rear view mirrors that could be repositioned higher or lower made much more sense.

This channel is awesome just became a subscriber as I like your videos. Just wondering is this your daily driver? Or do you have two cars?

tbh mate I do not dig the white dot. the rest works. I reckon black rims would lift the whole look up. that's just my humble opinion. cheers from Croatia

No hate, but personally I really do not like the color and the stickers. Would love it in British Racing Green.

This feel to me like old Top Gear so i enjoy this channel very much.

how tall are you?

5/7

"Oh man, the thing i dislike MOST about this car is the fact that it is so AWESOME, its awful." And this is a bad thing how?

Everyone hating on his car - every single person who modified their car does it to their style and specs. In my personal opinion the white spot is a little much, but I love the rest. See, that's my opinion, I'm not shoving it in his or anyone's face, in fact I really didn't need to throw it out there at all. Appreciate that everyone has their own style and deal with it.

Reverse Japanese Flag on the door

Your getting old, that's why your liking the comfort and refinement over the passion, noise and back breaking suspension.

No 6: disabling the active rear spoiler and sticking that horrendous black wing on the back.

Get rid of the cats, you'll have plenty of sound inside lol. You can always put them back on once you notice you're going deaf.

The over privileged are always the most ungrateful.

Sounds like you need to get a 911.

I didn't really have an opinion on the new mustang. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. But seeing it in that gold wrap with all the little details have made me completely fall for it😍

Finding that optimal racing seat position is tough, account for heal toe, traffic comfort and visibility. Took me about 2 1/2 months after I got my 350z. haha

What are your thoughts on the Alfa Guilia QV? Nobody gets their mitts on one until the end of next year and like many recent mainstream Alfas, it presumably looks better in the wild than on promo shots. But you can't argue with a 7:39 ring time, the thing shifts!

Good vid mate! Honest and not pretentious like most content out there

Don't drill your car to make it more sporty on the inside just get a 'Soundracer' they plug into your cigarette lighter and mimic the sounds of other cars, you could get a V8 one (others are available) you could go for a V12 Ferrari one for instance, great fun, and won't damage your car. Paste and copy 'Soundracer V12 Ferrari Car Gadget' into Amazon, you'll see. Its akin to using a squashed up can in the front wheel of your bike as a kid....

The F-Type isn't a GT. The XK was. If you want it to sound louder inside why don't you try removing the parcel shelf and all of the boot lining trim panels?

It's definitely a "height " thing. I'm 5 '10,..and i don't have those issues. I LOVE everything about mine. It's already a classic and one of the most beautiful production cars ever made.

Have you never been offered a job on top gear or similar ,you are so so so good at this i could watch you all the time doing so many cars ,cannot believe your not on tv with your own show,well done bruv.loved your jag.

You should add Seen Through Glass stickers in the white dots on your car, actually think it makes it look cooler!

I live in British Columbia and drive a big North American pickup truck. Always have, always will. I have no use for little slipper cars. But man oh man, Jaguar have to be the most gorgeous cars out there.

The first video you posted When you modified the f-type i Hated it, but now i love it

I do enjoy your sense of humor too LOL. I am getting one this week. Excited! Thanks for your video reviews. Enjoyable! Cheers!

'I miss turn traffic lights, or the opportunity to turn right at a junction... all because I'm tweaking.' Heroin addict confirmed 8)

"Who are you! You're not Sam. You're like.... Simon!" Oh that got me hahahah. Keep up the quality work

I've watched quite a few of this guys videos now and I've finally realised, thanks to this video, that I really dislike him. He constantly gives off this 'my life is so perfect' vibe which makes me feel sick.

I really like this vid! I think its even more interesting what people don't like about their car they love.

Can't believe this was nearly 4 years ago!!!

Q. HOW TALL ARE YOU ? You do live in Blighty with its tight streets, narrow roads & stuff, so I can see visibility being a bit of a serious issue. But I live in the US & have driven a C5 Corvette for a few years & people in normal cars just don't get it - there's so little visibility. I dropped my seat to the floor, slid it back until it squeaked against the fire wall and transmission tunnel, then got it comfy, recorded the memory position - and I did find space. But I am certainly some inches shorter. So I really need to test drive an F-type & really find out if it's just you. Q. What is it like in the Jag, at night - do you get all the bigger vehicles shining headlights straight into the cabin ? That's very bad in the 'vette. Or I'm just not a night driver.

This guy is the funniest car spotter I've seen! 😂

About the exhaust note inside the car. You touched on it yourself, it's sort of a GT car. No one wants their ears to bleed when going somewhere in it for several hours, it's not all that pleasant. I get that for quicker trips around town and whatnot, that LOVELY rumble from the exhaust is the best thing ever. It's just not a good quality in a car that is suited for being a daily driver/long distance cruiser as well. Also, what is the difference like with the active exhaust on/off?

In USA stop lights (semaphore) are after intersections so you don't need to maneuver your head to see light. Very clever and reasonable decision, regulation. Inside mirror like in most of car are not perfectly crafted. Some are better than others but overall the mirrors are there to help us see back as much as we can. Follow an Italian driving philosophy where is says we don't care what is behind us but in front of us.:)))

Agree about the traffic light thing. It’s not about driver’s height either.

You touched on something rather interesting when you said drill holes in your car to make it louder... Well, you clearly can't do that for obvious reasons, but what you CAN do and it's reversible is remove some of the sound deadening material in the rear of the car. It's adhesive backed, probably 3M material, I'd imagine a hair dryer would be all that's necessary. I'd start at the very rear, closest to the exhaust, then either move to the sides of the fenders, or the bottom of the 'trunk' well below the spare tire. Bonus is you can always put it back on, and if you like it, just leave it out and with the trim in place, nobody would ever know about it. Now this is also predicated on exactly how much you really want to have a louder interior. Too much removal and you start picking up that annoying hiss from the tires like every economy junker has. If it's worth the effort, it's probably only an afternoon's worth of work to do this. Just a thought.

Good shot of Queenstown Road +Seen Through Glass

*Don't feel bad. I've got a Jag and after 2.5 years **_just the other day_** discovered an entirely new, and unknown to me, seat adjustment ... which was awesome I love it but I sure wish I'd known of it 2.5 years ago!*

#6 - the constant need to high rev because that throaty exhaust is just too sexy.

I think you need a G wagon Sam. I know what you mean though mate all the Mercedes I drive the door posts are so big its always caused a problem. You can't drive something and not be able to tweek it. Great video mate you are a natural

Watching this after you have put the quicksilver exhaust on, how times have changed...

RE: The car being quiet on the inside... If it's not raining have the windows open. I have mine open all day long to hear my car. But i guess that's the difference between supercar 'people' and modified people.

The weather in the UK is just appalling. Every TV show, youtube vid, it's raining. Always raining. I've been the the UK twice, both times in May. The weather was cold, cloudy and rainy, every day. I honestly don't know how they get people to live there.

I never noticed how obstructive my rear view mirror is in my type R and now I’m worried it’s gonna bother me lol

This was a great video Sam. The video was perfectly edited !!

lol that dude at 6:44 is totally envious right now of your car

I think you should make the white dot a little larger, put another white stripe up the bonnet, across the windshield and down to that thing you have sticking up in the back. Maybe slap on a few bumper stickers - just go with it, put them everywhere. None of this will make the car look worse than it does now.

I would also add that manual upshifting isn't always responsive. I've redlined it a couple of times because it didn't respond properly when in manual mode using the gear shift.

I'm surprised that you didn't talk about the fuel efficiency of the Jaguar. Every time you film a video, you have less than half a tank.

If you go to 1710 am on the radio and crank up the bass it usually picks up the engine sound! Works great on stick shifts. Haha, try it. Not what you are going for with a beautiful car like that though.

Sam, the not being able to see street lights thing is definitely a height issue. Im 6'3" and i drive a big-ass 2003 Dodge Durango, and i still cant see shit when i get to the front of a street light.

Funny thing, Jeremy Clarkson had the exact opposite opinion on the noise. He said it "never shuts up" and would get annoying, therefore he would take the v6 over the v8

In Melbourne we have traffic lights right in front and 50 mts away, too. So two sets of traffic lights.

Regarding traffic light visibility, I am having the same problem. I'm 6'6". But there is a solution! You're using the horizontal lines on the road all wrong. It took me a while to understand the meaning of these lines, and no one in driving school explains the proper use of the lines. These lines should be used as a reference points. When you approach an intersection with a traffic light you should stop when the line disappears in front of your bonnet, like at 2:31 and make a full stop. That way you have full visibility of the intersection and traffic lights in front of you. And no kangaroo bobbing... I've tried this in several cars and it works!

1. The stickers 2. The Stickers 3. The stickers 4. The stickers 5. The stickers

If you want to hear the exhaust, get the convertible. Its also very quiet with top up.

Hello. I absolutely adore the F-Type and own a 2009 facelift Jag XK myself and I love it. Much of your criticism is highly understandable and the same for the XK! - The rear-view mirror! It's the same in the XK! The mirror is gigantic and obstructs view! What about the outside mirrors by the way?? I have problems seeing in tight corners. Same in the F-Type? - I had a good laugh about you looking outside of the sunroof for traffic lights :D In the XK it's the exact same problem. Not a London problem. I'm from Germany, so... - Same for the seat settings. I don't think you need 'em but it's not that big of a problem for me. - Sound in the F-Type I think couldn't be better or louder on the inside because otherwise it would be a nuisance to drive long distance in it because of droning sound on the inside at certain revs!

Paul with Armytrix, Tim with IPE, Sam with Capristo/Akrapovic - would be great

How tall are you?
