My cynical head wonders how much the customers pay to enjoy such pointless theatre. I guess the sales margins are fixed, but no doubt the workshop contributes to the overheads.

I think I had a similar idea. No doubt putting it into practice will cost me lots of sparkly baubles.

Yes, that is an awesome dealership. Part of THE largest Ford dealership in the world! If you ever get asked if you want to look around their museum, don't hesitate...... Oh, and don't miss their restaurant diner... lick

I don't doubt it, just not a fan of his clips (its probably some deep nested jealousy that he jets around all over the place and plays with a lot of cars smile)

I think a rich dad is a bigger factor in his cars than the YouTube channel.but I enjoy his enthusiasm .

Who, the 'rich dad' who owns a V12V and posts on here???

Anyway, I've never met Shmee (plenty on here have, when he owned a V8VR) but I think you couldn't be more wrong. Shmee is very successful in his own right.

I know nothing about him ,or his dad,but based on the comment. 'He ca afford such cars because of his you tube channel' is highly unlikely ,the viewing figures for the videos don't equate to that sort of money,hence the observation.
what does he do ?

Really?

Somebody asked the same (green-eyed?) question elsewhere back in April. At the time, Shmee's YouTube channel had had over 85m views. It is estimated that YouTube pay out approximately $3k per million views. 85m views equates to over $250k.

That's plenty enough to buy some nice cars. And that doesn't include his other (successful) business ventures and sponsorships.



Edited to add: I've just had another quick look and his YouTube channel has now had over 132 million views! You do the maths.
