Looking at Shmee’s garage and 2manycars, both are normal looking down to earth blokes, is it a lottery win? Someone help me understand because I don’t get it!
2manycars owns a big business up north and invests in property. Self made. Fair play to him.

Where Shmee gets his money is literally the basis of this thread hehe

Regarding where bloggers, or anyone for that matter, get their cash is really not that important in life is it?
Who cares if it’s funded or not, why do people get so obsessed by the subject?

Ahmed to that. Not that it’s anyones business. Shmee has even said the big ticket cars are wrapped up in some sort of finance. So what.

LLF not the type of chap i'd hang around with but his content is more geared towards the tuning scene (hence the appeal) so very different to the other youtubers
I actually quite like LLF because of this, everything else is new car first looks or rich man lifestyle stuff. Some of the people on LLF are complete idiots though, particularly that recent RS3 owner.

Mr JWW is getting into some proper Alan Partridge vibes these days.

Agreed. Tim has explained broadly where he is. As for the other chap he said in his old thread that he into Property and rental market in a BIG way.

I'm baffled by the comments regarding LLF not contributing towards the gearbox repair on the M5. It's a SMG gearbox, controlled by a computer so it's not like it's failed through driver error. It's just one of those things.

Once my car is making decent power I'd like to get a YouTuber to do a video on it. I can see why LLF is the choice by a lot of people, the videos are really well put together, he puts a lot of effort into them and he gets decent views. I'm 50/50 on his driving, he spanks them on a public road which isn't ideal but on the other hand, you want to see the car being driven hard. I remember watching Shmee driving a RUF CTR? (mid engine one), he talked about how fast it was for 10 minutes but never booted it, that was a let down.

I’m baffled how he hasn’t been prosecuted by the police. It’s clear some of those speeds are just outrageous. 150mph? YouTube will surely de-monetise this sort of flagrant abuse. It gives young impressionable people, bad ideas.

Why do I care? Why do people find it offensive when someone wonders how another individual is literally spending millions on pounds on cars?

I’ve seen a couple of shmees videos and I have him on Instagram and he doesn’t seem to have a job or do anything, he is as he says, living the super car dream and I didn’t think I wasn’t allowed to ask how he is doing all of that!

As for 2manycars, the same thing, the man is literally doing what I think of doing every time I see the jackpot for the Euro millions for 50 million, both are living the dream while sharing it with us which is great.

All I want to know is what they do?

Work.

Tim mentions how he got started a few pages back.

Bottom line is they put the hours in and have had some good fortune on the way.

2manycars owns an energy firm based up north called Watt Utilities. Millions of pounds in turnover through the business plus I assume personal investments in property, cars and other assets. I wouldn't call 2manycars a YouTuber at all.


Shmee earns through ad revenue + brand campaigns. There's also a ton of work to be done behind the scenes which we won't see like brand strategy, content creation, consulting or advising on social trends and executions, managing brand social campaigns or being involved with talks/presenting, merchandise blah blah blah, he's also recently set up a shop and sells products through that. It all adds up. Don't see how you can say Tim doesn't do anything as he is probably extremely busy.

Thanks for that.

As for doesn’t do anything, I didn’t word it properly. Obviously there’s a lot behind the scenes.

I meant to say, he doesn’t have an occupation other than driving cars, something to fund his cars like Joe Achilles & chauffeuring or 2manycars with his big energy company!

What’s wrong with doing it on a track?
Oh yeah, that would cost money.
Why pay when you can thrash fk out of people’s cars for free on the main road? How silly of me laugh
