I'd agree that a Shmee/SOL/STG roadtrip in sheds would be an amusing project for them.
I don't know if it will end up happening but it is already in discussion as it happens! BTW, "Roadkill" has some of the best petrolhead video's I've seen on the internets. Absolutely great stuff.
I think lots of people would love to see a quality motor like this being tested to its full potential. See how it would compare to modern day track times on the Nurburgring!!!
See how it would handle the twisty roads of the Cote d'azur, and when the trip is done you could give it away to a migrant at Calais, so it could go on and live forever!!! Plus you could enjoy the satisfaction of giving something back to the EU
Great video. Natural, easy rapport with Mr Bell, such a contrast to some of the awkwardness we usually see on Youtube.

Schmee 150. Genuine bloke playing it wisely, Seems to be building a brand for himself now. Not convinced on the Aston and merc purchase should have been one or the other and something mental. Needs to ditch the jumpers too.
The buying spree of latest special editions seems to be a total abuse of journalistic power imo. There are numerous people on this board who are genuine enthusiasts who aren't in it for the money and never have been but cannot get a car. I read years ago that Clarkson had to refuse a discount when he bought his SL to retain his credibility. If you're going to be a journalist then be one. If you want to be a guy that buys and sells cars and makes videos then great but let's not confuse the two when you present yourself to manufacturers.
I've been watching most of these YouTubers for a while, but lately have lost interest.
Shmee150 start off pretty well and his videos/content was good. However, most of his latest videos have been "Should I buy this XXX" etc. I think it's a bit pathetic and attention seeking now. Unsubscribed!

I'm not a journalist and I try to repeatedly say so, I'm a guy that likes cars and enjoys sharing them through a platform a lot of people have decided to follow. I'm fully aware that I don't have enough experience or qualifications to be a "journalist" so it would be stupid for me to claim otherwise. If you're going to be a journalist then be one.

Every car I've ordered is because I've seen and read about them online (the GT8 on PH as it happens) and ordered off the back of that. There are no incentives or discounts on any of the cars in my garage from manufacturers so I'm not sure how I'm abusing any power here.

Fair enough, I'm making content for the masses and the view numbers are a good demonstration of what most people want to see. It's a constant balance and adjustment game like running any kind of business. Shmee150 start off pretty well and his videos/content was good.

No I'm just saying it how I see it.
You know she has all those subscribers from being female but strip all the fakeness and she probably looks like the loch Ness monster in the morning.
It was a ridiculously bitter, vitriolic comment that's driven me to a volte face on my view of you, having defended you on the CTR / Focus thread.You know she has all those subscribers from being female but strip all the fakeness and she probably looks like the loch Ness monster in the morning.
Imbecilic and chauvinist - twice.

When I saw Miss Emma Walsh I thought she could be good, someone easy on the eyes who knows cars. Then I watched the video of her driving a Rolls Royce Ghost, and she didn't know what a Heads-Up Display was. Combined with the fact her videos aren't that original and often made off the back of STG, Shmee etc., cue sad face 
She's just another blond bird with no tits and make up with a face stemming from posh inbreeding and a ridiculously t
