Seems they aren’t that hard to get, so long as you go by a three letter abbreviation hehe

Excellent, I'll start a YouTube channel.
Hi Guys I’m Uth, i’m Speccing my new GT3 the uthmobile and taking you along for the journey, have you ever thought about launching a website to check your car’s history whilst shaving your balls on finance? With Squarespace, Manmower, Car Vertical and Magnitude Finance you can do all of that using my link below. Like and subscribe for more content with cars I’m not buying that you’ll never see again because this whole charade is simply a wheeze to drive a Veyron as a business expense paid for by you, coming along for the journey. Cheeeeeeeeers

Dial it in with 3 minutes a day, rinse and repeat.
Have to qualify this with a drive around Chelsea, YouTube Square, Wandsworth Bridge and Battersea Park with Paul Wallace or similar before selling the car on to Romans / Alexander Prestige / Baytree / Gravelwood (delete as appropriate) biggrin

It's this year's GR Yaris I guess rolleyes

Does seem strange that suddenly these cars that are hard to get suddenly come available for You Tubers

It's strange really, you couldn't pay me to watch some of the channels people on here like, but I've found some I absolutely love.

Dannydc2 - I enjoy every video, amazing racing too
Harry's Garage - best at what he does
The late brake show - Jonny is just a great presenter
Stanceworks - super cool project guy, explains everything brilliantly
Number27 - fun, brave diyer
Jayemm89 - great knowledge and delivery (I need to like the car)
Saving Salvage - Cerbera personal interest here!

I've tried, and failed to enjoy Hubnut, STG, TGE and Shmee, no hate, but zero interest in what they do.

Maybe they don’t own any of the cars , they just ‘borrow’ them for a few minutes a week to make content . And then they go back to the owners .

Paul SOL has made 'a major aesthetic transformation' to his GTI. New wheels and a bodykit with a spoiler that 'acts as an air brake on the motorway'. Hmm.

I personally can't really tell the difference, but I think that's the issue with black cars in general. A lot of the design touches and subtle features are lost with dark/black paint.

He’s been taking tips from Archie clearly. Boring black car, add black wheels and cheap Maxton body kit. Result? Awful.

Tim and his team having the ultimate Goodwood experience, a couple of RV's in the VIP parking area, his cars parked just a few meters away.



Great video James!



The thing with the Countach is that driving it is an event, it shouldn't be too easy and also, remember, A Lamborghini's not for driving its for arriving!

I don't care what the Countach is like to drive, it's a dream to drive one coast to coast as fast as possible!

Well I've always followed your channel since the red 111R days and having carefully taken in everything you said have bought a 600LT. When it goes wrong you have full permission to say:

Why would Porsche let TGE have one, he's only going to flip it being the scalper he is, already got a buyer lined up surely?

Does it look like this?


I know there is overkill on Goodwood and every UK CarTuber is there, but it's on his doorstep! even Parker (vehicle virgins) was on Tim's channel, even on Zach's channel, I like both so it's enough for me to have a watch of the videos Parker has done with Tim and Zach.

How Paul has approx 600k more subs than JayEmm, 200k more subs that Sam and Harry and about the same as Emelia Hartford I really don't understand, the mind truly boggles.

Came here to post this. Great review - really enjoyed that one. Lovely 80s themes and the noise of that engine!

Because Paul has been doing it a lot longer than JayEmm has. If you look at growth and views, JayEmm is head and shoulders above Paul.

Watching part of Shmee's car update last night, interesting that Zenvo have never sold a car to the UK before.

Channel subscribers can give a good indicator of historical performance, but the truth is it doesn't always have a bearing on the current health of a channel.

Paul for example has quadruple my subs, and five times as many lifetime views - but his current view and sub rates are a third of mine. That is just one platform though - I focus heavily on YT where others do a much better job across all platforms.

I would still like to see him make a proper comeback, but he has said before he has plenty of other stuff to do and if he feels happier doing that, I'm glad for him.

Thanks also for people's kind words on the Countach video. I was expecting more flak on that because I was not convinced the car was running right and I figured more people would try to tell me that
