BOTB results out today with a warning on trading. Might link with lighter viewing numbers on YT.

Has anyone been watching Aleems’ weekly vlogs? You can’t deny that they put in the work and the content he is pushing out is brilliant! Very cool to see what goes on behind the scenes at a luxury car rental company.

Do you think that’s all that goes on behind the scenes?

Of course not, but the legit side of things. Car repairs, logistics etc.

Just spotted Shmee150 passing through Marlow in a purple Cayman GT4(?), followed by someone else driving his Toyota Yaris GR with Castrol livery …

Must mean an absolutely riveting never done before episode is coming on wrapping the GT4 purple. God I can't wait.

He must still be watching this thread... he's just released the video.

Just came to say the same thing haha.

Jww. I like the 992 turbo so watched his latest production. I came away thinking the guy would drink his own bathwater.

So what you want about Aleem but he's getting the highest views among the UK automotive YT'bers so he's doing something right.

Just stumbled across this YouTube channel

I have to say a lot of people are braver than me in new cars in some of the videos

Looks like a sponsored video judging by the loud and proud Innozetek box in the thumbnail.

Maserati MC20, initial test drive on track by Seb Dellaney, quite surprised this came up as a suggestion as I though he'd gone native (French speaking only) years back.

Interesting car, though seems expensive? Maybe the brand sells well enough to justify that cost? Also half decent review by Seb, seems to have upped his production quality over the years, which is nice.

Though I am surprised no UK auto vloggers have driven it yet, especially Shmee and JWW.

Was JWW not a ‘brand ambassador’ or something? It does indeed strange that none of the other usually suspects have videos out on it.

Didn't he present the unvailing of the MC20..equally surprising he didn't get a first drive.

Eh? Not even close. A third less monthly views than even JWW.

Maserati's strategy seems utterly bizarre, the MC20 has only been reviewed by tiny channels with barely any views. One of the most important cars they've ever made.

Maybe Jayemm can shed some light on what's going on.

The difference is Aleem is only uploading once a week and getting over 100k views whilst JWW is uploading every few days and JWW's views have been pretty disappointing if you minus his viral RR and Aston uploads. He's barely averaging 50k per video.

Indeed but I used him as a barometer to say that Aleems 2mil per month ain't nothing to write home about

Absolutely, no-one cares about the silver-spooned-Michael-Gove of the YT world. So dull, worse than watching paint dry.

I am afraid not. Maserati are a truly bizarre company. They are even smaller than Ferrari in the UK I suspect, and almost totally inactive when it comes to promoting their range. I have emailed and spoke to their PR on a number of occasions, and even owning one hasn't changed anything.

I've currently got a Levante as a courtesy car from Meridien while the 550 is being serviced, and there's quite a lot I like about it (and some things I don't). Half tempted to just film with it and put that out as a review, but I might upset a few people if I do that.

For some reason this Wrench video from DMax250 popped up on my feed. Seems the 250 was the attendance figure.

Let’s be honest they’re absolutely appalling, everything about it is so outdated it has zero road presence other than it’s a Maserati and the tech inside is beyond dated for a 60-70k car
