inside lane used to do, some "everyday cars", the presenter is moving to motor1 now.
Also see HubNut for interesting old bangers, and Amesie's Automotive Corner - both normal guys messing with normal cars.

Where do some of these guys get their money? TGE TV, Doug DeMuro, Rob Peretti, Salomondrin, Mr JWW, Seb Delanneye, Jack on SCD...
Gone over this in this thread, TGE views youtube as a hobby and has done well for himself in business. Isnt Salomondorin a property invester/tycoon? JWW is similar to TGE.

So does he need YouTube to pay for his cars? Well certainly not, which accounts for his car stable having no relation to his current social media earnings.
At the end of the day this non reliance on social media money, his natural presenting style plus a good artist eye has meant that is a very short space of time his videos are seen by many to be some of the best of this ilk around at the moment. The likes of Shmee have become so formulaic recently you can almost predict word for word what they are going to say next.
One other thing, I think that Mr JWW is the only one of the bunch who appears to be able to demonstrate any kind of decent driving prowess
That phrase does start to grind after a while. Possibly a thesaurus should be his next purchase rather than a new super carAlways gets brought up and I'm happy to elaborate, as am fairly proud of the journey that's allowed me to do these things.
I've worked hard, with some luck mixed, in my business/s and job now allow me now to do things I never thought I would be able to, especially not in my twenties. There are business pieces about one of my companies, LDNM, online, on Forbes and Business Insider if anyone fancies a look. In fact, my first car was a £450 1989 Renault Clio I had to halve with my twin brother. We could barely afford the insurance. We've been through some pretty s
t times too since.
I still need to spend and want to spend every waking hour and more working, in one guise or another, fitting in YT where/if I can. Wouldn't have it any other way, for now at least.
No comment about any others.
Shouldn't really matter though if just you're there for the content, but I can also see for some, it could make it a harder audience buy-in to the presenter if they feel as though that person is running around filming themself spending money handed to them they've not 'earned'. I'm not fussed, great content is great content however funded, and it comes down to your personality if that sort of thing bothers you. Just in the same way that me financing cars & not cash buying winds some people up. Can't please everyone. The internet can be an embittered, angry place.

Not surprised TGE is self made, he's so positive and always motivated every time I view his IG story or snaps. Keep up the good work brother!
Yes, TGE is the City’s busiest worker: https://www.squaremile.com/ldn-muscle-tom-exton/ Only thing that’s missing from that article, is informing us what the City’s busiest worker actually does in the City. Possibly written by the same PR agency that JWW used for that Ottillie Pop article. Edited by Horsey McHorseface on Thursday 22 June 20:07
