Automotive Vloggers (Vol. 5)

Ratarossa is back after a while with no new uploads. Unfortunately he is starting yet another project rather than finishing one of his many existing projects.
He has also been teasing us about an upcoming F40 project but still no sign of that.

Isn't he ALWAYS teasing about a new F40 project?

Look at this!



I think Manny's head will explode when his arrives.

When are you gonna stop simping for Manky Trashbin, he's a known fraudster, has been exposed numerous times on BallerBusters and also killed his passenger when drunk driving

He is not a character to be celebrated

Gave up with his channel a while ago, been teasing about the F40 replica for a long time now.

I have been looking forward to seeing the BBi rebuilt but I am wondering if he's done a bit of an Alan Partridge/Corby trouser press with it. He's taken it very much apart and putting it back together looks a bit challenging.

Blimey. I remember watching the first of those BBi videos during a lockdown. I found the content a bit boring so unsubscribed a while back. Crazy to think that he's still nowhere near finishing 3+ years later! Longest youtube build ever?

He needs to study Mat A on his video style. He has all the ingredients to make his channel huge, but he his edits are just so boring.

Considering he is full time (Still? I don't know) he should be doing better.

I'd hate to see him go the way of SoL, but his channel is heading to zombie status at the moment.

His videos are incredibly dry. I don't find him personally particularly interesting or charismatic at all. I found that I was watching for the cars and even they weren't progressing at a rate that kept my interest up. Judging by the viewing numbers on his last few videos I'm not alone.

How could I forget. Those guys get a pass for being interesting and charismatic and actually having day jobs that keep them busy.

Completely agree, so much potential, don't know how he survives from just YT. He must have other sources of income

I don’t see him as reviewing it as car, none of his videos are like that, he treats them as tech, that’s his audience. He’s right to expect tech to be intuitive, it should be, not sure why you think that’s absurd? Tech isn’t more intuitive to him because of what he does, tech is just more understandable. I’d live for tech to be more intuitive and then maybe my 80 year old mother would get on with it better.

The issue to me is he isn’t reviewing the tech: he’s staying things are “broken” when they’re not, he just hasn’t understood the design choices which he should be explaining to his audience.

I recall seeing him disassemble the BB thinking 'surely he's going to label and sort all the parts as he takes them off and stores them' and realising he's just chucking assorted bolts and nuts together.

I like him and wish him well but bloody hell he's fked that one up.

[Jobbo]

It’s the BBi rather than Ratarossa himself that I watch for - I saw it sitting unused on the driveway in Gloucester for years so it was a bit of a coup to buy it. Got to see the final result.

[jayemm89]

Several of the things you mention lots of other cars do, and might even be legislated

[tim0409]

I gave up on Ratarossa a while back when he started pushing nonsense products from Temu (or its equivalent), combined with the fact that whilst the BBi rebuild is an interesting subject, I found his videos fixing parts on his kitchen table overly long and boring.

Wow, he's annoying. Not much of a vlogger either.

If he’s not much of a vlogger, how come he’s made 1m followers so quick? Wow, indeed.

[5s Alive]

Not automotive but 1.46M subscribers and infinitely more annoying, at least his intro is, and he's not the only one who does this. A significant number of people seem to like it though so it's probably just me.

I was going to say his target audience and peers are probably younger than me but that covers almost everyone...
