Are these Vloggers just a scam? SOL or Shmee etc? (Vol 2)

I see LLF has put the day trip to the BMW dealers back up again. I think that has to be his most embarrassing one so far.
Do people really talk and act like that these days and consider it normal?

I actually liked the video, it shows how much he can do without any stabilization.

I can’t see LLF being able to carry on like that much longer. The Police MUST be looking into it surely.

And I’m still surprised Sideways Sid posts driving like this:

He’s a kids TV presenter, yet is shown driving like a tool around a Basildon industrial estate on public roads. Add in the closing shots of his GT3 video where he’s broadside on the wrong side of the road with an approaching car and it can only be a matter of time.

The other thing with LLF. His online guests are mostly criminals. And the NCA will be watching I can be certain of that. There is no excuse to drive at those speeds and for profit I will add. It just encourages his brainless followers to do the same.

Tim, have you driven the G550 yet?

Whilst I really don’t like his content it’s a bit strong to suggest that his guests are “mostly criminals” and even if they are it’s another stretch again to suggest they are serious players in organised crime of the type the NCA pursues.

On top of all of that Plod surely has better things to do than sit around and watch car videos on You Tube in the hope of identifying a few collars to feel ?

Unless of course a concerned citizen pointed them in the general vicinity .....

Perhaps so. I just find it galling that the Platform is used for such purposes. And for the record, the police should take an interest. Meagre beginnings and all that. It only encourages others.

If I can upload images I've taken and have an online service scour the web and tell me when and where they're used you can guarantee the NCA have something way better.

They use social media to hunt for gang members and piece together 'crews' involved with the drill scene so it won't shock me if they're also monitoring YouTube.

Why do a lot of these people on film just hold the steering wheel with one hand on the bottom right corner though?

Must admit I really enjoyed the on screen chemistry between Shmee and STG on their G63 videos. Basically the same content but I still watched them both!

A good partnerships, please do more together chaps.

My Mrs just caught me watching that. I had to quickly click on pornhub so as to try and save face!

Why would someone require 'support' to collect a BMW and how come the price a) went up by 10k in the first few moments and b) is so important?

Is this your first time on YouTube?

"Collection" videos, "unboxing" videos and "MY $278,782,989 EGG SANDWICH GOT RUINED" titles account for 99% of it doesn't it?

That's quite cool. Quite endearing to see how enthusiastic and excited he is

So funny, I'd never heard of that guy, clicked on the vid and really enjoyed his genuine enthusiasm for the GT-R. Then he mentioned the RCF and it twigged that I was behind him on the way into Goodwood on the Sunday and had a good chat with him after we parked up walking in.

Great guy and mega subs too.

DannyDC2 seems to have gone very quiet lately and his last video about left foot breaking in the Volvo has been deleted.

I know he posted on here saying that he was getting uncomfortable with the attention

Shame as I really enjoyed the videos, such a change from the "five things I love about my supercar", "wrapping my supercar", getting a new exhaust for my supercar", "five things I hate about my supercar", "selling my supercar" videos.

Either he's a terrible driver or the car is putting out nowhere near 1000hp, because a 10.9 is dreadful for that level of power and grip. A tune only F10 M5 with street tyres will run an 11.4, so his car should be running much, much faster.

A standard F90 has been officially recorded at 10.6, with drag radials. It’s nothing like 1000. Hellcats at 1000 in the states are running 9.6, not that I care about such antics.

I seem to have picked it up differently to you guys.

I understood what the owner said to mean it ran 10.6 on the R888s he has fitted on the road wheels with his old spec (“stage 2 tune”) and he hasn’t run it yet with the new power upgrades and the drag radials.

Danny's always come across as a decent bloke on here, and very much in the mould of someone who makes the videos he wants to make, while being somewhat irritated with people telling him what he should make videos about. I can get behind that, having a similar "grumpy Yorkshire bugger" background.

I think maybe LLF (incorrectly) calling him out on comments on here knocked him a bit, but he's not vanished or anything, he's still around on here, I saw him pop up on the Ignis Sport thread.

Danny: Keep doing what you want to do, and, as the kids say, fk the haters. Not sure why you deleted the left foot braking video, but I'd be interested in a discussion on the subject, as your technique is slightly different to mine - I tend to more leverage the brakes against increased throttle input, rather than hitting the brake to shift the weight sharply forward, though this causes issue with the ECU setup on a lot of modern stuff that's set up to cut DBW throttle input on brake application above a second or two.

Also, seeing as you rent a barn, you must know at least one local farmer: Did the Aldi off the B6164 in Wetherby use to be Nidd Vale Daihatsu? I need to know for reasons that are somewhat convoluted, and farmers love their Daihatsus, so I'd imagine local ones would know.
