How is buying something totally different to everyone else out there unimaginative?

The Zenvo sure isn’t my taste, but at least it isn’t another Ferrari or Audi.

I think having to take it back to Denmark every time it has a fault or needs a service would get tiresome over time.

But think of the content.

"My Zenvo needs a service or it's WORTHLESS."

"Booking my Zenvo in for a service. CAN I GET THERE?"

"Will my Zenvo get on to the ferry? IS IT DOOMED?"

PS although that actually would make an interesting video... I reckon a couple of days there, what with with the trip over, a reasonably long-distance test/shakedown and a nose around the factory/service bay would be worth a watch,

Ah yes, I bet the West Yorkshire police are getting good at this now then.

The funny thing is these were convicted by one of their own gopros, a few times in the footage his mates tell him to turn the camera off, he pretends to then carries on recording and uploads it all uncut to youtube

He was stupid enough to use the Certi name for his car business so they probably just followed him from there.

Ended up watching a bit of Mat Armstrong, not bad content but it's *so* drawn out, and everything ends up being OK at a glance (and from a distance) but half arsed if you look at all closely. Big stuff done but all sorts just skipped underneath, especially anything that needs a clip or a bolt.

He's enthusiastic but too much subtle lazy bodgery for me.

I got sucked into his content as well. I quickly decided to stop watching him as soon as I found out he's a buy-to-let landlord (aka tts). I can imagine his properties are also botch jobs like his cars.

The guys a dhead and comes cross as such, seems to know fk all about cars and pads his videos out something crazy

Don't understand his appeal in anyway, much like a slightly better off Lee Lockwood

The link and my comment aren't referencing Certi Driver but yes you're probably right

I could have put "loud moron knows nothing about cars and 'fixes' writeoffs in a way even a dodgy Bradford garage would think was iffy" but thought I'd try to be reasonable. He's Hubnut with more money and less brains.


Re. the Zenvo at least Shmee finally found a car with a gaping rictus grin to match that stupid one he insists on putting on for every single thumbnail. The shtick is just so tired.

You guys are pretty harsh. He's not doing any harm and seems a decent guy (although not my cup of tea)

Tim himself has said Shmee is a character. A character whose actions are driven by data analytics.

Tim seems a lovely chap.

Shmee is a created revenue generator and therefore is open to criticism much like any theatrical creation.

I meant Matt A. I can see why he's not everyone cuppa but isn't a bad lad. Many would do well to build up his income.

Yep. As the character is a deliberate creation any bit of the act is open to criticism.

Too many people seem drift into doing a caricature as they build a channel and get stuck with it.

Much the same as in traditional media - eg. Tim Westwood and Danny Dyer.

I watched an early Stradman upload, where he talks about his background. It's a very very different tone to his current fast paced style, which seems to be working incredibly well for him.

I make that just over £4 million - I took the cheapest price on autotrader where available (he drives them so they aren't going to fetch the highest prices)

it's also missing the Zenvo.
