Automotive Vloggers (Vol. 5)

Kim Il Sung complex.

Dodgier than a 9 bob note.

Congratulations! Becoming monetised is a massive achievement, and gaining 4,000 watch hours in a rolling 12 month period (or c.12 hours of content viewed every day for 365 days, without fail) is no easy feat! Always worth remembering that only around 8% of all channels hit this threshold, although some statistics suggest it's closer to 5%. Most people give up, because it's hard work.

I expect your monthly income will rise over the next month. I'd be surprised if you don't make £35-55/month this month with the views you have.

Someone else said not to forget to declare, but check out "trading allowance" on Google. You can earn up to £1,000 from a hobby in a tax year before you need to report it to HMRC or pay tax on the income.

That new lambo on the Carwow video is, well, hard to describe.

I've got absolutely zero desire to own one (handy that) but half a million quid and over 2 tons by the time you've got a friend on board. And it has 3 (I think) motors that add another hundred and odd hp, why? That will be a horrendous ownership proposition unless you're able to sign blank cheques.

That tuned M3 Touring though, what a car. A sub 10s estate that you could in theory make look like any other 3 series.

I saw a Revuelto in the flesh for the first time the other day. I have to say, it did nothing for me. It looked smaller than expected in person, but that might be because it was surrounded by Urus(es?)

There were also a couple of Aventadors in the showroom and I personally think the first generation of those is a stunning piece of kit. I know it's a deeply flawed machine but I'd have one as a piece of motoring art

Whilst I respect the engineering involved in getting 1000bhp out of an M3, it cost £35k for the the work including a fully built engine and mods to the gearbox, my worry would be how long is the rest of the drivetrain going to cope, no mention of diff or driveshaft work.

10cm shorter than a Range Rover and 5cm wider doesn't sound small.

I’m willing to bet the average Lambo driver is short of a few cm.

The LP700 has never been a looker; it was a rather watered-down, fussier follow-on to the clean, graphic Murcielago.

The Revuelto similarly lacks the purity of line of a great design. Where have all the hero designers gone?

The usual embargo lift means a glut of new Aston Vantage videos dropped this morning. Watched Catchpole's review, brilliant as ever.

Then tried the Autocar review as I relaly rate Matt Prior, but holy crap the audio is absolutely dreadful just like it has been on previous vids.

Like, how it got uploaded like that is beyond me as it's clearly a processing issue as the audio is totally blown out and fuzzy in all situations, not just from one mic. They've really got to get that sorted out as it's just such an amateur mistake.

And no, I won't be watching Mr JWW regurgitate a thesaurus while being paid by Aston Martin to nosh them off.

In seven years!
