Into cars.
Talks about cars.
Doesn't have to worry about income because of wealthy family.

Aforementioned points suggest so.

IMO, no.

He's not as engaging and knowledgable as Chris H.

Doesn't this guy have enough threads devoted to him already? confused

Feels a lot like under the radar marketing tbh.

He does his own thing, that is a different thing to Chris Harris.

Schmee is more about expensive things that happen to be cars and the lifestyle that surrounds that world, have never seen him driving anything worth much less than 100k which is a very impressive realm and his audience laps it up, not really relevant to me, not that CH was hugely but you did get the impression he had been through the ranks and had driven cars across every category, not just one that was a real life version of a 14 year olds Forza garage.

No, because he just isn't very interesting to listen too.

Chris Harris is a journalist who is knowledgeable and happens to be good in front of the camera, the kind of normal person you could sit and have a pint with. You watch his videos half for what he is doing and half because it is him doing it.

Schmee has a smarmy, annoying presenting style and if you took away the fancy cars behind him you would never watch a single one of his videos. I must add I don't know him and I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he is not a natural presenter and I watch some of his videos for content only despite his presenting.

No

One is a journalist, racing driver and car enthusiast.
The other is a Youtuber who likes looking at Supercars.

No slight to Mr Shmee and he does not even pretend/profess to be a pro-am level driver (even a good one) you also won't see him making videos about his 2CV.

Would I watch an exclusive launch video of a new hypercar made by Shmee, maybe... because CH wouldn't be there, he'd be hooning around Goodwood in a million pound E-type :-)

Nah, he'll be too busy with his film career according to Richard Meaden.

I don't see the problem with it.

This post is sponsored by Shmee150. Visit his YouTube channel for his latest car reviews.





















Just to be clear. This was a joke. Don't know the guy. May have watched one of his videos.

He's quite camp isn't he? Not Harris the other one, which I refuse to type the stupid nickname a 10 year old would have.

Not that there's anything wrong with sounding/being camp, only the voice grates and therefore would never listen to him.

I think you're confusing camp with posh.

Because CH produces high quality videos which actually review the car, whereas Shmee walks around with a few action cameras recording himself. I'm sure CH could do what Shmee does if he was so inclined, Shmee couldn't do what CH does.

Steady.

Harris attracts a lot of love on here (for some reason). wink
