STG said he likes to occasionally post ‘grenades’ on this thread under a pseudonym.

And that PH was akin to AIDS or something to that effect.
How childish.

Not a man of his word.

Hypocrite.

Disappointing.
My critique about Sam was that he was putting his very young child in a forward facing car seat in a somewhat dubious rear seat conversion. My real issue is that he has a platform and he was promoting such stupidity. For me I do everything in my power to protect my child. Also that his content is sometimes filler, not killer.

I don’t believe anyone else had anything worse to say. Nothing that wasn’t valid opinion or fact.

And yet that is his opinion. Shame. Maybe il tell my boss he is like hepatitis tomorrow when he critiques my work.
If you watch the clip, you could tell that he is very obviously joking with the host when he says that and last time I checked we're still allowed a bit of humour
Same with the buying Coffees quote you referenced, it was said in jest and that is clear when you watch it.
Calling this place Aids was maybe a bit out of line, however I can see his point. Also if he does post crap in here under a pseudonym then that's hilarious

For those who said Becky Evans knows nothing about cars and hired just because she's a woman:
Interesting "uncanny valley" oversized head thumbnail!
I didn't want to say anything in case there's something wrong with her.

Whever she is...
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Becky!
She’s most definitely a proper petrolhead which she seems to have got from her dad who seems likewise .. and the boyfriend is too

She does seem to be doing less YouTube and more corporate/legacy media stuff these days
But I don't know who she is.

I've Googled her and she's either 'a presenter' or she's a Georgia State Representative.


A pretty good presenter, compared to most of the others who have had years making videos on Youtube.

The BBC also seem to think so too

Goodness knows what the appeal of this crazy Atlanta car meet is (looks highly dangerous to me!) but at least there is no Shmee to be seen.

Fair point, we only have to look at JWWs 'interpretation' of business interests vs personal ownership of the cars. No wonder folks go digging.
Yes, it’s funny that his name should come up in this conversation.

I doubt James would post lies on here about other creators under a fake username though.
I’ve listened to the bit you highlighted about this thread and he starts by saying: "I just want to go in there." That then changes to: "Every now and again, I just go and leave a grenade, like, just on a fake username." There’s a clear difference between wanting to do something and actually doing it. I think he’s embellishing what he's saying to try and look clever.

There’s an interview technique to put people at ease so that they speak freely. Tell them something about yourself, and wait for them to reciprocate. Matt seems to be good at that. If they say something controversial, it will increase views.

Sam's future anecdote: The time I wound Pistonheads' members up by pretending to post under a fake username. It was chaos!

He said he did it!

He thinks his superior to everyone else, we have seen the real sam now, everything else was just an act it seems.

He hasn't wound anyone up here other than letting everyone know he views and visits here to post lies about other creators.

I have been nothing but supportive of sam on here, even though many here have said I am deluded for doing so, well it seems you were all correct!

He has lost a subscriber and supporter.

Do you really care that much ?

Ultimately i just want to watch a video about whatever car , i don't care if the presenter actually owns it , if he's from a money'd up family , if he comes on pistonheads under a false name .

There's an interview with John Cleese on the BBC today which seems oddly appropriate for this thread.

"So whenever you're doing comedy, you're up against the literal-minded. And the literal-minded don't understand irony, so that means if you take them seriously, you get rid of a lot of comedy, because the literal-minded don't understand metaphor, irony, comic exaggeration.

"And the result is, if you listen to them, these are people who are not, so far as understanding what human beings are saying and doing, they're not playing with a full deck.

"Literal-minded people can only have one interpretation of what's being said. People who are not literal-minded can see there are different interpretations depending on different contexts."

If Sam wants to come on here and wind up the mother suckling basement dwellers of PH I think that would make him pretty normal to me to be honest!

Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

This isn't the first time you've called posters on this thread basement dwellers and you've got a prolific posting history here so your basement must be the size of those mega mansions in Chelsea

You are Shmee AICMFP. 'Hilarious' is the only adjective Shmee knows and you/he never uses it correctly.

Indeed. I watch his videos every now and again, he's good at showing the buying from auctions etc and quality of part exs side of the motor trade. It's sort of a Poor Man's HighPeakAutos biggrin

The weekly vlog style videos could do with more editing to get rid of a lot of the waffle and faffing to bring them down from 45mins+ to 20mins.

Enjoyed the classic car challenge on AA. Though that Mini looked proper rotten. I assume they’ll swap the supercharged engine into the Allegro?

But then he'll be missing out on those sweet "watch hours" he's trying to rack up
