Why would someone try to buy a car from the USA in Iraqi dinars, they would be better off trying to use one of those crypto currencies for a scam surely?
They were buying the cars in US dollars.The scam was that they used US dollars to buy foreign currencies and bonds that were supposed to increase exponentially in value after a future event. That money would then be converted back to US dollars.
The investments they purchased were effectively worthless.

I see that our comrade 'Lincoln Lovin' from the 'Project 40' channel has acquired the supercharged Z3 from the AutoAlex entourage, which I always thought was one of the more interesting cars they've featured recently.
Although I thought the idea for YTers was to buy shoddy cars![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
It's like trickle-down economics for youtubers. Buy a car from an established channel when they are bored with it, splash their name all over the video descriptions and thumbnails, hope it brings in some views.Although I thought the idea for YTers was to buy shoddy cars

The car ticked a lot of boxes, after the Cayenne I wanted something a little more track focused. I also missed having a convertible. Taylor’s car also being a new marque and supercharged meant I could tick a few more things off the bucket list.
As to whether buying a car from an established YouTuber gives the channel a big bump in views, that’s harder to say at the moment. Currently is tracking pretty normally, though that may change once impressions increase (currently only 1.8k).
It’s a deeply silly car, and I’m really looking forward to doing some track days soon.

Good luck with the project! It’s a deeply silly car, and I’m really looking forward to doing some track days soon.

I could tell within seconds this was a complete waste of time.
Surprise, surprise they just gave up and bought another X5.
Why does it bother you? A stranger tried to fix up his car, deemed it uneconomical to sort and so got himself something better. SCANDALOUS!! Surprise, surprise they just gave up and bought another X5.

Woah that’s a pretty big bump! Fingers crossed I get something similar! Forum rules mean I can’t post my channel directly, but I’ve just subscribed to your channel ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
I hope so - Like loads of smaller channels your videos are just as good as the big boys but it's very hard to fuel the algo' !![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
Thank you, that’s very kind.
The algo connects viewers with videos (rather than creators with viewers), so it’s just a case of my content not really meshing with a larger audience so far. Or at least that’s my viewpoint, this is why I wanted to experiment with a more popular brand (BMW) to see if that made a measurable difference.

The Punto is a very niche car and provided me with my first lesson “Just because you find it interesting, doesn’t mean other people will.” Perhaps it would have been a better car for later in the channels life, where people would be more invested in the story. But I think any car would have had the same trajectory as a new channel, getting impressions is always going to be a challenge when you are starting out.
Speaking of my multi yellow hot hatch, the punto is off for rust repair on Friday, hopefully the bill won’t be too bad.

Sure, it's a shame for the 'story' that it didn't come to life.. but these are youtubers in a shed, not Hollywood.
