I've managed to avoid a lot of these videos from these bloggers, they really don't appeal to me and to be honest the sort of rich kid / slightly toff nature of them makes my teeth itch... never has there been such an apt way to describe these chaps than when Kevin Bridges was describing a shop assistant in River Island (or something) and said "... with all the enthusiasm of a person who hasn't been punched in the face".

However...

I did watch his recent vlog / blog / Youtube video when he did a lap of the Ring with Misha Charoudin int he Sub 7 Up! and it was actually a good watch because a) Schmee said very little and b) Misha is quite watchable and his driving / track knowledge / commentating / talking to the camera multi-tasking skills are rather impressive!

It would have been borderline brilliant if only he had turfed Schmee out halfway down the main street in Nurburg...

Like most people, I have been on the internet a long time but still don't understand the mentality of the keyboard warrior.

I agree.

Tim provides free content millions watch and enjoy.

If you don't like it, don't watch. And to write that 'it would be brilliant that he gets thrown into the street mid drive' is ... well, I don't want to be a keyboard warrior but wishing harm on someone you don't know is a rather daft no?

I agree too.

But if you go back and read, I didn't say I sit and force myself to watch... and I'm not a fan of these sort of blogs nor those in front of the camera so I don't watch, however I do like Misha and the way he presents himself, can't really say why but equally I like Chris Harris... perhaps it's because both seem to know what they're talking about, proper knowledge whereas the new breed of bloggers just seems to be excitable chaps hoofing around in nice cars, which is great... as show by the number of followers or and views.

Now, just in case you chaps get upset again, when I say "hoof" I'm not implying these chaps are some form of farm or wild animals and I know they don't have hoofs as such. Just like the keyboard warrior grade, powerfully built comment passed about turfing him out... where I live, that's a somewhat tongue in cheek term "Aye, Steve got turfed out by the missus for coming in with dirty shoes" or "Wendy got turfed out the pub last Thursday for drinking six bottles of Bicardi Breezer and grinding up against the puggy". Neither of which imply a desire to inflict physical harm. Much like when I tell my mate Steve that if he farts in the car, he's getting turfed out... that doesn't mean I wish to physically force him out on the M6 at 80mph in a bid to see his skull explode on impact with some roadside furniture.

You sir have however taken that and rewritten as 'it would be brilliant that he gets thrown into the street mid drive' and that's fine, but my point was that the video would have been better if Schmee wasn't in it... however the fact he was highlighted a) that I don't like the cut of his jib b) Misha is a much more sincere / clued up and c) the two don't really work well together at all. So back on topic but no, I don't see Schmee being the next Chris Harris as he's a bit too camp / excitable / annoying (in my opinion) and b) Harris seems to be able to pedal a car rather well and really seems to understand the fundamentals, he not just driving fast cars.

Bit like asking is Chris Evans going to be the next Jeremy Clarkson...

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

Aforementioned points suggest so.
Difficult to put my finger on quite what it is, but there's something odd and hyper-irritating about his face.

Terribly judged and fake body language, especially on the clickbait photos.

Zero charisma.

Can't even watch his videos relying on the subtitles that play before you click through he's so irritating.

Aforementioned points suggest not.

How much does someone earn from getting 200K views? It can't be that much.

He's got 1.93M subscribers but only has approximately 200K views on his last few videos, seemingly struggling for content and when you've no personality you've little else to rely on.

I know who I'd rather have a pint with.

Is LLF the one who modified his pcp car and then got silly when BMW said no?

I lose track of these people. hehe

I do know one thing. They need to be taken off the road.
