Schmee on national TV! Although I admire what he's done ( boughtPersonal Contract Hire so he can fit in with all his "new friends" a Macca MP4 with the proceeds of his Facebook car spotting site!) I really don't think he comes across well on camera.
He doesn't come across well regardless of TV. Having seen his posts and spamming of the internet to promote himself. And yes, I've met him once in real life. But more than that there's something deeply tragic about the vast majority of these spotters. Alex Penfold for example takes some great photos as we've seen on the other thread. I can understand the photographic merit in spotting. The vast majority of the rest are just kids "oooh ooh" ing at the latest thing. And then immediately forgetting it in favour of the next newest thing. And stupidly encouraging the owners of these cars to spend all day and all evening revving the st out of them annoying the people that actually live in that part of London. It's properly chav!

As for Tiff's NASCAR exploits....poor old sod, he's a great presenter and a legendary driver.
Agree on Tiff. Didn't realise 12 Le Mans starts!Again, as ever another poor review from Henderson. One moment it's so big she can't tell where the ends of the car is (fair enough) the next it's "very easy to place on the road in a corner"
Adam was good. They liked it but gave it average score?

Have to agree with you there, did wonder how he could afford a Macca even with a few Facebook hits.Rich_W said:

Those wheels spats; the presenters seemed to have concerns about the robustness of them. Surely if they come off, it'll cause a slight imbalance in the wheel? (or does the adam not go fast enough for it to be noticeable ) Just to address the comments about Shmee and his money (why are people so bothered about this?) take a look here:

Shows what sort of person he is! No amount of "he's a lad done good" st on his site will change the facts he's part of the problem we're seeing wrt spotters.
Crash in front of him. Strolls to keep the Lambo in shot (and lets be honest Lambo driver was only caining it because of the sad spotters giving him an audience! ) And notice how Timmy doesn't even check the driver of the Mazda. In fact doesn't even care about the occupants of the Lambo. All that matters is "the spot" and even then just about the YT hits he gets for the money. Plus as you can see he's already "copyrighted" it and trying to sell it to the media
FYI, Tim didn't take the video. Look at the description:

But it's on YOUR channel to help YOU make money off it. Which makes you complicit!
You, and your sad group of mates who trawl round London, camera in hand, ARE THE PROBLEM! You create an audience for certain supercar owning mongs to show off in front of. You and your parasitic types BLOCK roads, chase cars down the road and walk around private underground car parks to get the all important "spot" You may not like to read it. The backlash against the spotters has started. Just see the posts on this forum.
I fear a day when the sycophantic spotter audience encourages driving that leads to serious injury. Though I can bet that certain YT people would quite happily take the view counts if they uploaded "Lambo driver in London hits pedestrain"

It was good that you clarified that, but I don't think you can argue that Shmee won't benefit from the crash.Youtube description said:
