Automotive Vloggers (Vol. 5)

[LincolnLovin]

Who’s going to Shedfest on Saturday? It was great last year, really looking forward to it. Need to sort a drip tray for the punto though.

I wonder if that will be the same in another couple of years, especially if the AA stuff is going to be very samey. We'll see.

I reckon that Alex and Matt will have about a dozen sub channels by then and dominate over any small channels starting up!

I'm catching up on content and watching the TDC Nurburgring trip. I must say I take issue with the implications they got seriously tanked up overnight on a road trip. That's not cool.

To be fair, that wasn't the dodgiest thing in that video - I'm sure riding along in a car on a trailer on a motorway isn't particularly safe or legal.

Is there anything in these videos which people wont pick at?

They said on a podcast recently that they were booted out of the bar at Midnight due to the barmaid having a tag on her and needed to be back at her home or wherever.

If they left to go home/IKEA (as per their video) it was probably lunchtime at very least. That's more than enough time for it to exit their systems.
Its not like most people who drive to their local in villages. Drink all night, drive home and up early the next morning - and yes, this happens all over the country in smaller villages still, visit any small country pub.

It sounds like Will was up half the night vomiting so I was surprised to see him driving the next day (although I have no idea what time the next day that happened).

All very true, there is a much bigger drink drive problem than portrayed here. But I do agree it's a bit silly to include such implications in a Youtube vid that will get 200/300k views on it.

I grew up in Newcastle until I was in my 20s. Arguably the drinking capital of the country. I never saw a drunk driver.

I now live in Cambridge and if I'm ever driving on rural roads at night I ALWAYS come across a drunk driver going 15mph bouncing off the curb. I used to call the police to alert them until I realised it's such a regular a occurance there's no point anymore.

Ditto, I'm in just outside of Cambridge. Any of the roads around Cottenham, Willingham etc any evening is full of white vans/pick up trucks swaying all over the place.

Yep, out towards Saffron Walden too. Crazy.

You should watch the 44 teeth motorbike channel when they do their abroad trips! No idea why they show it as it is not hilarious.

[InformationSuperHighway]

Really enjoyed the TDC video I have to say. Also enjoyed that they’re doing their own thing, while still including the others. Felt very different to an AA video even though they were all in it.

Also, great editing.

Looking forward to more from them.

[LincolnLovin]

Access to the AA editing team is such a time saver for TDC. Allows them to move fast and utilize the already successful AA style.

I wonder if over time each channel will have a different approach to editing.

I bet their core 'lads lads lads' audience lapped it up, just like the hilarious arse slapping and screaming.

They are the complete opposite of the "lads lads lads" crowd, they even joke about it. I take it you're of an older generation where slapping a mates arse for a laugh is seen as gay or something?
It's amusing how people can watch the same content and get two completely different takes on it.

Did think the same, not big or clever to show them in the video.

At no point did that video feel any different to an AA video, same style

NSIS.

[PT1984]

I have never watched any of the AA or affiliated content. But nothing on this thread makes me want to loose even 5 minutes of my time watching. Thankfully that’s the beauty of YouTube!

What I suspect will happen is 3 channels all doing the same ideas, TDC just feels like AA V3 already.

Fair play to him for doing it but I cannot see the view count staying high, people will soon pick and chose.

I've binned off TDC already. I'm not particularly invested in either presenter. That kind of stuff is more than covered with Alex and Taylor already.
