Single. stripe for sure.
100% agreed!
no double for sure
Oh man these old videos are so entertaining. You should start doing more of these adventure style videos
He swore now thats legitness 😎
The single stripe was spot on.
Graham used to curse in videos I could never imagine
I know like dang
I always wanted to have a Lotus. This video keeps the vision alive.
Bro your going to be famous... your vids are authentic and well done.
Thanks so much Eric! Wow this is an old video!
Hey i hope you see his comment
Watching old videos. Good prediction
You literally have the best jamz in your videos 👍🏼 and looks great with a single stripe on each side
+Jesus Ortiz Thanks Jesus! I spent a lot of time trying to find the right songs in the background so I'm really glad it's appreciated! And yes - single stripe for sure!
Love the subtle look single for sure. Only thing I would say is maybe yellow side markers and S badge and it might b much but yellow hub caps or pint stripe on the wheel lip.
Graham gets those goosebumps every time
Def my next car.. since the first day I saw one it was actually a Elise owned by a drill sergeant when I worked on base. He was like 6ft something and always wondered how he fit in it... but the car was in bad shape still loved it more than a lambo. Hopefully by the end of the year I’ll have one if not early next year..
Not only do you give awesome advice, you also put an ASAP instrumental in the video... you're growing on me ;)
Hahaha thanks David...I try to put whatever instrumental in my videos of music I actually like to listen to!
I love your car bro. I almost brought an Elise but that was in shitty condition and dropped the plan. Got a BMW Z4 instead. Someday though!!
Vinyls are a really great way to change a cars look without doing a totally new paint job. The double stripes!!
Why don't you do more car vids man?! They're the best
It looks amazing with the black abd white. I think the yellow looks a little better as it matches the brakes. Either way shes a 10
Thanks so much Bruce! 100% agreed!
I know you sold your Exige recently but I personally would LOVE to see more car videos :D
Like it, background music was solid, and finally I think I need to move to LA solely to hear the hilarious radio ads hahaha
Ha thanks so much!
Lol the 2hrs line was funny lol
Awesome vid, I'd go for the single stripe how you had it, looks sick!
Thanks! I totally agree with you, single stripe it is!
Single stripe man
+Giuseppe Ciotti 100% agreed! Keeping it the single stripe 🙌🏼
Sweet ride !!
i am going back to your old videos and watching them all!
Enjoy :)
@@GrahamStephan hey I messaged you on insta and i think snap. I had a credit card problem I guess. My insta is donnythehawk1. i thought it could also be a video idea
Same
Love your car. Maybe I'll see it one of these days around B.H/L.A..
+Lucas Reed For sure! I take it out weekends and to car meets, you ever hit up PML, morning octane, etc?
That looks 🔥
🙌🏼
I feel like you and my husband would have fun talking cars.... Although his favorite car style(model? I dunno) are mustangs.
Just to celebrate 1 million views, I watched this. Guess I need to subscribe now.
"HAHAHA"
💀😂
beautiful
She is so gorgeous
🙏🏼🔥
hey awesome videos! maybe you could possibly do a video on how to get leads, I love learning all the different techniques people use. keep up the great work.
Thank you! I'll do that. I was thinking of making two videos - one I'll record as I go along selling a condo listing I just got, and I'll upload it once it's sold. It'll probably be a month or two of filming condensed into about 15 minutes. I could also go over one of my recent deals from start to finish explaining how I got the lead, what was involved, etc. What do you think? Perhaps it'd be a better idea to make a leads video first, more informative?
Both video ideas sound great. I think you should start with one of your recent deals explaining how you got the lead, what was involved, etc. which ever one you decide to do first i will definitely check it out.
Cool, will do! Thanks for watching!
Hey, Grapham
I just passed my Exam yesterday! I will be having an internship with someone I know with about 20 years experiance in the bussiness? I have been following you fairly close to the inception of your channel. I will be turning 22 at the end of the month. She told me she wants me to make a two year commitment to her? I live in the seattle area. Since I will be working with her would you suggest I purchase your course? Also wanted to talk to you about coaching calls how often would you suggest I do that since I would be working with her as well. She reccomend that I dont do leases which was what I was planning on doing in this cut throat market up here. I really like your content keep up the good work your videos have helped me tremendously!
Stay Strong!
good to see another realtor actually work on there car lol
instead of going into a jiffy lube to get ripped off with an oil change n shit
Jiffy Libe is a RIP OFF...ah, for a fraction of the price you can do it yourself - plus it's fun to work on the car!
Stay with a single stripe! Double stripes is too much yellow! Loved the vid! :D
+robscorpius Thank you! I totally agree, single stripe it is!
Please make a video about the details of real estate and the things most people don't know about
Looks better without the yellow stripe, definitely.
Hey! I need your help! I was stuck on buying an Evora but now I can’t decide Evora or Exige?
Totally different cars! If it’s a daily, Evora. If it’s a weekend car, Exige!
Whos watching this in 2021?!
Hey Graham, I commented on one of your other videos unknowing of the fact that you're in LA. I live on the westside and was wondering what car meets you go to? I'm very into Lotus and would love to see yours and possibly meet you in person! Keep up the car vids!
Thanks Shane! Cool, I'm around the Hollywood area. PML Quickstrike is usually always a good meet - Morning Octane is so-so, and David Lee's are amazing. I hear Malibu Cars and Coffee is also decent but I've never been. I'll keep you posted!
Supercar Sunday (google it) is also a cool one I've been to as well. You'll want to leave early for Malibu C&C, it fills fast. I just recently went on my first PML Quickstrike with a friend, it was great. Honestly not intending to advertise, but check out @shax_ent on Instagram, my friend and I have started making videos. Thanks for the responses!
Which PML did you go to? Was it the last one with the Gallardo that spun out in the rain? I'll for sure be at the next PML whenever it is...usually don't wake up early enough for Malibu or SCS unless it's a really special event, but definitely come say Hi if you see me/the Exige at one of the meets! And sure, I'll check it out!
EDIT: The videos you made are awesome!
That single stripe looks awesome. Also, what's up with the Gotham city license plate? lol
+iFindThisFunny Thanks dude! The license plate is just for fun, I somewhat like pushing the limits to see just how much I can get away with 😂 I ran "Ecto1" license plate with ghostbusters logo on the side for Halloween. YOLO!
holy shit you're also a car detail enthusiast.. i see that menzerna
+CH H I wish I could take credit! That's all belongs to a friend (owner of the Chrome Purple Lotus Evora)! He's meticulous when it comes to derailing.
+GrahamStephan detailing** 😂
Graham did you fix the little bubble? I gotta know! I gotta know!
NO DOUBLE FOR SURE
looks good man. do the side scoops in black
Thanks you! I was thinking of carbon fiber side scoops...but as soon as I start modding the car, it's never going to end. So I've held back from doing anything quite yet.
GrahamStephan yeah good idea! Would love to see more cars vids in my feed
I didn't know Graham used to curse in videos
you got enough money now can get it wrapped lol
TNX GOOD
1:10 Tesla* forshadowing future
are you Jared Leto?... or are you Graham Tom Cruise Stephan?
Great video. it looks very lonely where you live at. Is it? Are there any house or stores close to your house?
Are there other colors for the vinyl tape
That was a friend's house you saw, but it's nestled in the hillside so it's a 1-minute drive to stores, etc. People love living in the hills for the privacy!
They had dozens of colors...they even had like 4+ types of yellow. Burnt yellow, super yellow, regular yellow, golden yellow, its crazy.
Graham could have been a car youtuber
Why does this only have 9k views?
Could have saved $6 if you would have used electrical tape ;) Hopefully the stuff holds up well. Single line looks nice.
😂 so far I still have it and looks great!
single stripe. You have no problem with your clutch ? thanks ;)
Nope! No problems at all!
2121 lol 🥶
“SunCor Financial MPI review”
Idoubt you will ever see this comment, but I have never seen you curse in this channel lol
What if you put the striping on the LOTUS letters on the back
(Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious: lotus)
You mean outlining the letters?
I'm talking painting every other letter yellow, i think that would look pretty sick
+Nem Leo Might be a little too wild for my taste 😜
i see, you're just trying to keep it real in this estate
I was wondering if you invest in stocks.
I do. I don't invest in individual stocks (I did years ago with terrible luck), but I max out a Roth IRA every year with Vanguard - the stock ticker is VFIAX. It's just a fund that mimics the SP500, it's a safe boring investment that'll perform well over time. The VAST majority of my investments are in real estate. I pretty much have my entire worth in real estate.
can you show us the setup of your blower?
+CH H Not sure I understand...blower?
2:06, that's not a leaf blower right?
+CH H Oh! Shit! Sorry, spaced out entirely. I'll ask for details, not mine!
Single stripe
DONE! Agreed, that was the general consensus....looks better being subtle.
of course you'd have an edgy licence plate
7:10 single
Do some pulls lmao
Hahaha I like where this is going!
single!!
+Kyla Ball Totally agree! Single stripe looks subtle with just the right amount of yellow accent.
Thanks for replying! I'm thinking about moving to LA after college, any advice? Good areas to live in?
+Kyla Ball Absolutely. Really anywhere in West Los Angeles is great - Santa Monica, Venice, marina del Rey, Culver City, Brentwood, west LA, beverlywood, miracle mile - the problem is that rent is absurdly expensive unless you have a room mate. Even then, it's on the pricier side. You can check out the valley (Sherman oaks, studio city, van nuts) and that would save you 30-50% in rent, but it's generally much father from where the action is. It also depends where you're working, sometimes it can be a long commute from the valley.
GrahamStephan thank you!
why didn't you lease that car????
Graham
Lol
Lol 12k views and barely 100 comments. Man this video is OLD!
One pin stripe
+My Recorder Disorder Totally agree!! Done, one stripe!
so is the chrome purple Ever yours too?
btw your exactly what I aspire to be. Im 15 and saving to get a loan from the bank so I can buy a 240k house to rent out and the rent will then pay off the loan and so repeat. Then become and agent when I finish school. I'm about to do work experience in an agency too so I'm so hyped
+My Recorder Disorder that's awesome, you'll really enjoy it - that sounds like a great plan.
Single
Graham buy me a Tesla
Single
Agreed!
