For me personally i have lost a lot of interest in vloggers i use to dip in and out of Shmee, Harrys Garage and even TGE every now and then but i have completely lost interest. I tried to watch Shmee's garage update last night but lasted 2 minutes before i switched over to some other content.

i do still watch Joe Achilies and petrol ped depending on topic but for me i am pretty over the car vlogging YouTube scene.

I'm starting to lose interest in youtube as a whole, just feels like every video now is a rinse and repeat of another video

Saying that perhaos lockdown has taken its toll and now we're hopefully seeing the light maybe the content will step back up

The only channels i watch regularly now are Harrys garage and farm, Producer Michael and Vinwiki

Impressive how quickly his mileage went up on Day 2 (especially at running in speed!)

The Carfection team really know how to edit an exciting video.

Carfection do the most outstanding videos, amazing stuff, and Henry is class every time.

shmee has a new garage to show us soon, has all the toys and facilities by all accounts, bet its cost a fortune!

Yes, his plates are illegal (as his car was registered in 1987), but no, the date isn't 1975, it's 1/1/1980 - if your car was made before that, you can use black & silver plates.
I saw an Instagram post from Petrol Ped about the Goodwood RRC Media Day that happened yesterday, and there's Shmee and his Mrs sitting in the middle of it. That 10 day mandatory quarantine (or even the 5 day test-to-release option) since his return from the US has gone quickly...

His videos are often released some time after filming. He will have completed a normal quarantine period, having filmed enough videos ahead of time in the US to release during quarantine.

But his bird posted 3 days ago that they were leaving Florida and 2 days ago a pic from a dealership there, I mean that's some highly coordinated obfuscation if its pre planned.

A desire to follow Mrs Shmee on Twitter sounds like an affliction in itself....

Also following Jimmy Broadbent's Praga endeavours so looked at the Britcar entry list to see who else is racing and saw that MrJWW isn't entered? Odd.

Even TGE can’t spell it when he’s doing a collaboration with him.... (I assume he actually is and isn’t just clickbaiting, didn’t watch it)

Thats what they do. There's a picture from a randomer on Instagram of him in his new M3 in traffic in London that was posted a couple of days ago. He mentioned it when he used to post on here, Shmee is always at least a week or so ahead of Tim to avoid super stalker types tracking him down and the like..!

Fair enough I guess

I don’t like his content. But he’s done very well for himself no matter how parentally funded or not his start may or may not have been.

13.7k subs on a channel with no content is impressive, set against what some of the stuff I do like gets.

Harris could have easily stretched that GT3 video to an hour. His, the Carfection and Dan’s PH video really do show how it should be done.

The most credible and utterly correct statement on this forum for a very long time. Proper journalists, wheelmen and class acts to a man.

I take it you mean Tom? If Shmee is talking about himself in the 3rd person we have bigger problems now

HubNut did an interesting history of the A Series engine, for any of us who owned an original Mini Metro / Mini or other Leyland car back in the day, even BMW used the engine

Well I took it as Tim the person, Shmee the youtube "character" and nothing to do with Tom.
But it's surely the other way around than put ie that Tim is doing stuff at least a week ahead of it being posted up on anything Shmee related
So put simply, stuff posted as Shmee has always happened at least a week in the past

There's nothing unusual about YouTube "timelines" being totally out of sync with real time.

I myself am usually 1-2 months ahead with my YT schedule.

The reasons are fairly simple - it helps you keep the content releases consistent if you have a drought in filming, plus for me most of the stuff I make it not time sensitive to release so I am not rushing to get a video out the same day as everyone else etc etc

I have to agree that Carfection GT3 video was superb. Henry's style keeps getting better...

Indeed, I posted a video on my IG pointing out how slow one of the influencers was driving the GT3 while also declaring it as having the best turn in and brakes practically of any car he's driven. 2 seconds slower over the first half of the lap than me in my 19yr old Lotus on old tyres is hatchback pace really, then to declare surprise about lack of tyre wear was comical.

Harris obviously destroyed my time. The inference is that the influencer review is effectively invalid if you aren't capable of pushing a car to the point of it moving around.

Yep, that's what I meant

Although, if you are just buying the car because it is the latest-and-greatest then you need the Influencers types to be raving about it.

I'm sure the people who are able to pedal the car to its full capacity will have their own circle of friends and aquiantences who can give a trusted review so no need to trust random reviews on paper/screen.
