Quite frankly PHers are a bunch of *****. However Frank is a bit like Brussels Sprouts, you either love him or hate him. Knowing him personally makes a big difference to how he is otherwise perceived as his online persona..
I agree some of the dialogue on this is a bit flowery however the vid itself is great and Frank was involved with all the elements of its production not just the presenting.
Cheers fella. Marmite is the other one. I guess I'd rather be loved by some (who can put up with me) than liked by all.

There are a few things I'm trying to attempt whilst being a 964 custodian,
Raise values by raising awareness - through branding, L9O and BB in publications, videos, etc.
Promote relevant businesses.
Document my 964s history.
Help others.
Get a few laughs.
There are many ways in which one can help this community. I'm doing it the only way I know how which is through promotion. Whilst I've been controversial in many aspects (one day I'll grow up) I hope I've helped push these cars onto the radar as many other have done.
It's their right to say whatever they choose. You can't throw something out there and not expect knocks. I have no problem with anyone's opinions, you'll all know I throw my own.
It's the highest video result on YouTube when 'Porsche 964' is searched. So it's working for most.
Guys it's really sweet, but honestly I have thick skin.
Thanks for the kind words gents.
Yes in hindsight there are things I would have done differently. You can't win them all. And I take every comment as true. No such thing as right and wrong when it comes to feedback. Any feedback is positive.
Sadly there were constraints regarding certain things I wanted to do. And a 'narrative feel' was one such element that I didn't feel necessary but the commissioners did.
If I may make a personal remark I believe my skills are best suited to have just directed and produced. Seeing as overall that's where the shows biggest strength was.
However unlikely were I to make another. I would hire two presenters and thus I can dedicate myself to what I truly adored, working behind the camera.
None the less. The video seems to have done well ok YouTube and over in the Far East and Russia where it was originally aired.
Thank you for taking the time to watch it.
Hi frank.
If you don't mind my opinion. ( you're getting it anyway ) I havnt been around here much lately so not aware of you or the car.
The video looks great. The camera work production are top gear worthy. I think you do a good job of presenting too, Some minor critisms aside about that but overall good.
My only issue is the script. It's just a bit cliched and smug even, and yes I was cringing a little at some parts. It just seems old. I say that as somebody who could not create a paper bag and realise this and the amount of effort you must have put in.
Car is fabulous. Good luck with future projects. You put something like that out you have got to expect opinions which I'm sure you are aware. Not everybody is going to blow smoke up your ****.
I f-ing loved it. I showed it to my brother in law Thanksgiving night after everyone had gone to bed and he loved it too. He lives in Miami and drives a sick 997 but I saw the envy in his eyes. Cheers my 964 friend and thank you. The production level is superb! Bravo!
Yes, Frank, I had the misfortune to see the PH thread yesterday and whilst there were one or two constructive criticisms the bulk of the comments were quite frankly puerile and rude.
As the owner of a production company, the production values were obviously very high although it outstayed its welcome a bit. Always difficult to know what to take out... Also, good to see Philip Raby in the other car - bought my GR C2 Targa from him in June. Lovely guy.
