BUYING A MINT AUDI RS4 FROM BIRMINGHAM!
Two buys, one favorite. Calvin, the Luton used car dealer who runs BINCA in Milton Keynes, went to Birmingham for "BUYING A MINT AUDI RS4 FROM BIRMINGHAM!" and came back with a car his viewers seem to like almost as much as its owner.
The RS4 is the B7 generation, the mid-2000s Audi with a high-revving 4.2-liter V8, and commenters spotted the options that make this one unusual: a solar sunroof and a cooled glove box. But the talk keeps returning to the seller, Paras, described again and again as a genuine, careful owner. A good number of viewers think Calvin should simply have paid the asking price, and some point out the car was bought for a giveaway rather than for the forecourt. Others take the chance to defend Birmingham sellers against the city's reputation in car circles.
It opened with about 200,000 views in its first day, far quicker than the week's other upload, a rare Mansory-styled Range Rover with the 5.0 supercharged V8, which has now passed 200,000 of its own. The crashed G-Wagon bought from Mat Armstrong a couple of weeks ago is still drawing a steady crowd too, and is closing in on 900,000.
All of that pushed the channel to nearly double its usual daily views, with about 1,000 new subscribers over the week. Among the car channels nearest its size, only The Electric Viking and Hydra drew more views in the week, while salvage rebuilds uk is also running well above its normal pace.
