YouTuber

[yanyan]

I'm trying to remember the name of a YouTuber. He was quite prominent 5 or so years ago. Reviewed some tasty cars and he appeared to have a few quid. He flew his own helicopter. He wasn't well received... came across as a bit smarmy and not very genuine. Anyone remember him?

No

Phil Dixon / More than cars ?

Was this the lad who did the cringe Porsche video? He got absolute pelters for the video (quite rightly) which was hugely over produced and surely cost a fair bit to put together

Yep, I think that's him. He ended up in a relationship with a girl from "The Apprentice" just before he stopped posting as I recall. . He was a bit miffed in relation to his Aston Martin DBX but I can't remember why.

Were all his cars purple ?

One of his Astons was yellow with Cadburys purple accents and I think his DBS was blue ?
Met him once - lovely wife.

Yes! Thank you… that is him. His channel seems to have disappeared. I’m not surprised… he wasn’t liked, as I recall.
