We hope to really grow the channel...getting the first 200 Subs is a flipping nightmare though. Hopefully it gets easier.

If you get it right, the first 1000 or so is always by far the hardest. Once you pass that marker they always seem to come in a bit easier.

Still, I remember the days when I was at a few hundred subs - devastating when you notice it drop by one or two - you wish you could ask what you did wrong!

Ain’t that the truth! I’ve only just passed 1000 myself but seeing it drop by one or two is heartbreaking when you only have a few hundred!

Hmm, dilemma. How to lose the most amount of money? Invest in Lanistar Bank or Crep Chief Notify?

I just checked CCN's reviews on Trust Pilot. Most of the genuine bad reviews have disappeared, no doubt on protest from CCN, leaving mostly the fake good reviews. So that’s another company you can’t trust: Trust Pilot. Easily manipulated.

Have you actually used CCN? If you haven't and want to understand it, feel free to send me a message. A lot of the poor reviews on Trustpilot are related to people expecting it to be an easy way of making money and then getting annoyed that they haven't made thousands of pounds with their zero effort. Is that a fault of CCN or the user? Should the user then be able to leave a negative review and damage the business or is it fair that those reviews are able to be removed?

I'm not connected with CCN other than using it. I have a few negative things to say about CCN, but it being a scam is not one of them.

Effort? I thought they just told you what to buy, where to buy, where to sell, and you sit back and count the monies? Thanks for the offer, but I don’t want my garage full of unsold whirlpools, snazzy sneakers and testicle manicure kits.

Hey Jay, fantastic to get feedback from you, thank you.

How truly bizarre, my son and I are literally just watching your 3 part series on McLaren and the father and son purchase debacle...excellent videos...And yes, we Subscribed

Any chance of a collaboration at some point in the future? My current steed is my first ever supercar, an immaculate low mileage highly specc'ed 458 Spider.
By the way, I like my potatoes baked due to my extensive fitness background.

Misha and Tim on the Mercedes payroll now? And of course Misha has to "analyse" the record.

Huge congratulations to the whole AMG team, what a fantastic achievement! I'm beyond excited to run my GT BS for some Ring laps next year - mind you I'll probably need to ask Maro kindly to show me what to do. As always, the best or nothing!

Welcome to the top! Congratulations to the whole Mercedes-AMG team!
This is an amazing achievement and extra bonus points for setting a new benchmark in communicating the records.
I am looking forward to sharing my analyses of the record.

Morethancars is losing it. Last week he went full hater mode on JWW and now he's ranting about supercars and making up lies.

What I found hilarious was when he claimed 3 Lambo dealers called him about allocation for the new V10 (STO) but yet he forgot the name of the car. You can't remember STO? He also claims there's "millions of pictures" online of the car. There's one spyshot from March lol.

I guess Phil living beyond his means finally caught up to him and bitterness has set in.

Losing it? That absolute cretinous pleb has never had it , agreed thoroughly on the last sentence.

When Tim said in his latest video about possibly replacing the red Focus RS with an A45s, this exact thought came to mind. AMG overload on his channel now

As soon as he said he was thinking of an A45 I was thinking the same, loads of people in the comments suggested getting a GR Yaris.

What do you think you can offer that the current lot don't?

I do not feel that I am in competition with the other car YouTubers, I feel many can complement each other while others, well, stand apart.

I feel that my delivery is different. I am a technical person by trade therefore my delivery will and hopefully is (see my 993 Playlist) more technical than the likes of JWW etc.

I've no real interest in Porsches, or watches, so I'm not your audience. One thing I would say though is that you should look to getting a microphone for when you're in the car, and look at the level of your speech. I found that when you spoke in some of the videos of you in the Porsche, with the sound of the car and the faint musak in the background that it was hard to hear you.

I think, given the way you were talking and what you were talking about in the car, you're more in line with how Harry's Garage operates. That's not a bad thing, and I would agree it's different to the rest of the YouTubers.

I'd like to think it's not about competition, but if your main aim is to make money from the channel then I think you may be in competition. But that's something for you to decide. I started my own channel documenting work I'm doing on my Lada - which I'm not going to promote here because, well it's a Lada - and I do it to document not only the progress of the project but to document a part of my life. I've no kids, and my Dad died years ago, and I often wonder what he was doing when he was my age. So I thought I should at least start doing something personally that I can leave in a cupboard for a future child or whoever comes after me can see it and have an idea of what I was up to before they were around. So I'm writing experiences with the project down, I'm taking photos and writing about them, and I'm filming myself doing something I've an interest in.

I'll be honest, when I started, I would be a bit downhearted that not many people were coming to the video, or jumping out half way through. Especially as I'd get recommended people to watch who were doing the done thing. Doing something with a VW Golf, wearing joggers a size too small, using jump cuts and royalty free dubstep. I would sit there, looking at it, then looking at my own which are completely different getting nothing. I tried doing one video more like the popular ones and I hated the process. So I resolved to myself to do what I wanted, how I wanted, in a way I would find interesting.

Now I enjoy making the videos, the editing, writing an article to go with the video and sticking it on the website. What I've found now is that while I've a tiny (and I mean tiny) group of subscribers, they're all interested in what's going on and helpful. And that means more to me than what I thought it would do really, that there would be others interested in what I'm doing.

So, really, other than the audio in your video, the only other bit of advice I've got to give is to paddle your own canoe.

Enjoying Tiff and Lovecars.

Porsche 911 GT1 is a proper weapon. It'll take some saving to stump up the £10M price tag.

Good to hear Tiffs thoughts about modern super-duper hyper cars and how divorced the driver actually feels from what's going on. Mind you, that's pretty much all modern cars nowadays.

Wow thank you Bobby, really appreciated. We hope to really grow the channel...getting the first 200 Subs is a flipping nightmare though. Hopefully it gets easier.

Getting the first 1000 is the hardest, took me a while. nearly 3 years later im on just over 40,000 now: www.youtube.com/killerhertzmercedes

Echo what the others have said, you need to pick a subject and stick to it, rather than 3-4 subjects.

I generally do 'How To' videos and recently did a load of videos on the Nurburgring, which havent done as well as I thought they would, I guess they are too different a subject for my general audience.
