Also, you sound like my elderly relative with "first class", virgin upper is "business class" and its not as expensive as it sounds but it does make plenty of vloggers a very good living reviewing.
I mean at least you didn't drill down into the irrelevant details of my mistaking Virgin Atlantics nomenclature to "prove me wrong"

If so then you can hardly complain about her if you choose to watch her channel
It would be weird to complain about something I hadn't watched though. It featured May, that's why I watched. The channel was largely irrelevant.

Don't worry. I'm sure Miss Brown is overawed by your online defence of her hehe If you go to the DriveTribe event at Bicester next year, maybe a selfie. thumbup

Lucy isn't related to May. She left DT at the start of 2024 - as people have said, she was a genius social/video/marketing person at DT from the early days. She runs her own marketing agency and helps James with his gin stuff.
After all there's no possible way that May would hire a family member to do their social media stuff, if said family member had a fledgling business in social media. I wouldn't blame him.

But the fact that she's becoming a sidekick to him in both of their channels is just like Hammond and his daughter. We watch the trios content for them, not their sidekicks who want more screen time (With the possible exception of Caleb in the TV show. Who generally seems uninterested in the media stuff)

Most of the stuff "Loopi Media" advertise is DriveTribe/Hammond/May related. I cant find anything online to suggest Loopi have many clients or were big parts of DriveTribes success.

I did not.

But he wasn't forced upon us by Jeremy shoe horning him into his videos. Unlike the other 2 sidekicks. He was popular on the TV show first, then branched out for some extra money.

No, but Lucy was a big part of it - I worked there with her for four years.

Same been a subscriber for a good while.

Love Sam’s dry humour and the fact he doesn’t seem to take much nonsense.

Love how he says that AMG stands for “all money gone” hehe

Whilst not normally a fan I did enjoy AutoAlex's road trip video.

Channel seems better now Alex has toned himself down.

I suspect parenthood has bought him back to earth and he’s better for it.

Matt Armstrong's Cullinan video was just superb from start to finish! I still think he should've got the DBX as well that was a right bargain!

When did the channel become AutoAlex Cars? I only noticed it yesterday.

It amused me that they had off road tyres for a trip to the Alps and didn't really need them when Mat Armstong's trip would have definitely would have.

That really was a good road-trip episode (actually thought it could have been longer)... although I did watch the V2 episode they filmed whilst they were away / in the back of 'Del'

Also great one from Jayem this morning too - likewise I have 0 interest in Freelanders - but interesting non-the-less.... actually have wondered what the fascination was myself!

I’ve been watching Caah Machine Cars of late. Yoing bloke buys up
snotters and brings them back to “life”. He does a pretty good job but no glitz or glamour.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fernie breaks away from driveltribe and joins the autoalex family, possibly with Maxwell.

Not sure if this was mentioned in the other thread, but he has his own channel now too.

Utterly ridiculous. How anyone can put that out there in all seriousness, I cannot fathom.

Come and get me? It isn’t the owner/driver of the car that has posted this st video. It is some st “auditor” baiting the police for clicks with someone else’s footage.
