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

Did you manage to watch the second vid for more than 3 seconds?

I've no idea who that dude is or what the problem is, but his views to sub ratio is consistently impressive. He must be doing something right (even if it isn't to the taste of PH)

Yes, all the way to the end.

PH is against modifying cars / second hand cars these days. I like his content. Sure he may not be everyone's cup of tea but he seems to be doing OK for himself. His subs have increased a fair bit since I started watching, and he isn't llf, who richly thinks that he is a bell end

His sub count is currently growing quicker than SOL, TGE etc!

Cannot argue with the numbers. I just hope that he doesn't go down the same path as jamie fyd (fud). He has however put a lot of his eggs in one basket and is trying to make money from YT as being his main income. It may work, it may not. I hope it does for him, but it is a risk.

I watch his vids quite often. No idea why really, as am sure I don't fit the usual demographic and I'm not really into JDM stuff? I think he just reminds me of myself at his age, trying to learn about cars and just having a go. I made some awful choices myself back then. (quite possibly still do!) I thought the abuse his Mrs got was out of order but if you're going to post vids about your car and any mods, it is going to invite opinions good and bad. Lee needs to either stop reading comments or develop thicker skin?!

If your decide to use a thumbnail of your mrs in a tight pair of trousers squatting down next to a car , you know exactly what's going to happen .

He got those valuable likes but he also got the inevitable abuse , it's not right but he knew full well what he was doing when he created that thumbnail.

I do quite like the way he seems quite happy to just get stuck into fixing stuff on his drive though .

[e30m3Mark]

Yeah, you're right I guess.

Good to see Dan back with his camera. I don't usually like MR2 but the hardtop makes it a far better car to me. I like track focussed stuff too, so it's win win. I've no experience of driving mid engined cars though and cabin space looks a bit tight. His M3 is still my fave of the 2 though. Just needs another Pole Position for the passenger side though.

Eeeeeee y’awrite lads and so on and so forth.

It’s not hard to see his appeal, he’s a male equivalent of these female “social media influencers.”

To a lot of his audience he’s living the dream. No discernible daily grind, bargain-modding his car and cutting about in the type of fashion they are all in to (just look at Gaz from Geordie Shore’s 11 Degrees clothing line).

Best of luck to him, but he’ll need to develop a much thicker skin.

Lee Lockwood.

He didn't really buy that car from Motorhub in Keighley did he?

I wouldn't buy anything from there with someone else's money!

[djdest]

Please say there is a clip of someone buying a heap from motorhub
I had a walk round there about a year ago when I was in the area for something else. You’d have to be mental to give them a penny looking at the state of most of the stock.
I’ve known about them for many years, right back from the Keighley trader days of dealing in RS fords, and never ever heard a good word about them

[TheAngryDog]

I do not believe that he bought it from Motorhub.

[e30m3Mark]

No, he didn't. He bought it from someone who'd specialised in Subaru and then moved into Evo I believe? He did give them a plug but my memory is awful.

I started watching Archie Hamilton's recent vid on the Merc 63S in the hope it might be good.

10 seconds in and the Chuckle Brothers (TGE and his sister) appear.

Turned it off.

Well, it seems that some people like him, so that’s nice.

It's a shame he doesn't try and lower his racing ambitions so at least then he can put out some decent content and show off his talents.
