I wouldn't expect they are paid to attend, more given a free ticket and some free food / drink. Z Celebs will attend as its covered by the media and they will appear in magazines / websites etc. The Z list celebs can then tweet/insta post about it to their fans about the film. Its free advertising for the film companies.

Isnt the general rule that the more famous you are, the more money you have, the more free stuff you get given.

It's definitely true for car YouTube!

Playing catch-up on the Stanceworks Ferrari 308 project. I was against the idea of using a K Series before, but now I can understand why. I wouldn't change it, but he has a different use for the car than me. Really good series.

Have you thought about becoming the next TikTok star? Appearing on Love Island? Pretend your living the instagram lifestyle and become an influencer?

His rational isnt too far stretched to be fair. also in recent episodes he has weighed the car and it will be fair light by all accounts, I dont know how the engine weights compare.

I still make an effort to watch his videos over others

Vinwiki have appraised Tims car collection - granted it is based on the US market and there are some mistakes (the clio is not a $5k hot hatch, and the Exige is a loaner from a friend), but still , the $7.5m valuation is punchy

Savage summary of the incoming Zenvo - $500k down on RRP even before delivery (although I'm of the view that Tim won't be paying RRP).

I recently moved to the USA and planned to sell my e92 M3 in the UK and buy one out here.

My 58,000 UK m3 is work around £18,000 on a good day.

There's 100,000 mile cars selling here for $40,000.

About time but the main problem is Miss Hubnut is getting more involved and in 2 years is no closer to having a driving licence! Her constant waffle had made me stop watching most of his recent videos

Yes, I prefer the solo vids, but think they are going to be increasingly rare.

That Berlingo of his is a sensible purchase. I guess he can't win in terms of purchases though - if he buys something mental, it generates lots of views, but then probably looses him money on getting rid of it. Buying something boring like that Berlingo is too dull to generate much in the way of interest.

I used to enjoy his retro car reviews if only for his encyclopaedic knowledge of car trivia. The new stuff is unwatchable

I heard that and thought it weird…I think they mentioned the same person rang the bell six times whilst they were filming!

Your video about the insurance is completely believable, it seems like an easy place to find utter incompetence in general.

Years ago I had a car roll down a hill and into my Evo while it was parked, pushing it into another car too - no question about liability etc, they called up and declared it the same day as I reported it too. Insurance companies were given photos of cars exactly as they had been and descriptions of everything at the time.

That car was funnily also insured via Admiral and the one which hit me was insured via Diamond, basically part of the same group as I understand it.

Car wasn't drivable so was taken away that day. Now after a prolonged wait and many many many calls and enquiring as to what the hell was going on, I finally got it back. Except, it was only half fixed (but with the worst pain job I'd ever seen on the fixed part - literally a big line down the door a different colour) with the other side and back still smashed. The guy delivering it apologised and said he didn't understand why, but he was told to bring it.

Some shouting later because I'd really had enough and seems apparently there was some 'miscommunication' where they failed to somehow fix the whole bloody car. Just what? You can only wonder what kind of dribbling idiots are dealing with this stuff. It probably took about 3 months in total to get my car back in at least an acceptable state, including some independent assessor and whatever complaint process. It was horrendous.

Another good example - my Mum had someone pull out and hit her at a junction. Everyone ok, swapped details and so on. They told her the guy wasn't insured (she couldn't check back then) and went through lots of nonsense due to this. Then they called up to say eh, actually no, he was insured, by them. Go figure.

Ironically I write this as I have another two weeks to wait to get my car fixed after some tt decided keeping his car in his lane in the motorway as I was driving past him was optional... fingers crossed.

I hope so, it depends on if he keeps the car, all the project cars he never seems to 100% finish them, it gets to 99% and the sells them.
