Well bookmark this prediction, I predict in 2 years you won't be doing YouTube, and you won't have a garage full of supercars.

The house of cards you have built will collapse.

Good luck to you.

No.

I actually like seen through glass. I admit I'm not a fan of supercars of London.

Good luck to them.

If they wanna be up to their eye balls in debt so they can drive a supercar around London at 5pm then good for them.

I just think the whole YouTube market is flooded. I prefer the more realistic channels.
You do realise that debt is cheaper than tax?

Some bitter people here tonight.

Whether I like watching their videos or not, they're the ones rocking around town in a car which most of the naysayers can only dream of owning. Good luck to them.

  • 2 years later Shmee has a series on Netflix instead, and owns a warehouse to house all his supercars. Benjijames28 shown to be technically correct, but surprisingly unhappy about it

Keep worshipping that NHS pal, the Brezhnev-era apparatchiks at the top with BTL portfolios & supercars are forever grateful for your money...not! lol

It's not been bitter. If you can really afford a supercar and want one then get one. I just find it funny when people get into situations where they are struggling to make payments on cars they don't need.

If I was to be as irresponsible I could drive around in a nicer car, even on my modest income I could scrape a 700 a month payment on a car I will never truly own.

Who can barely afford the payments?

With regards to STG and SOL selling their supercars, I have a different take on it.

Their recent foray into supercar ownership has propelled them to another level with regards to their credibility with manufacturers, and you can see that they are now getting regular access to press cars and product launches. Now that they have established brands, they don't need to stretch themselves so much financially to produce the type of content they want to create, so actually owning a supercar is no longer essential to their business.

Why? Why do you find it funny when people fall into financial distress? What sort of weird, sick loser are you? Seriously please go somewhere else

Yeah for me that's a lot of money. We are not all powerfully built director types.

I watched the STG video and he's selling both his cars to buy an F-Type SVR. Reason being he wants a car that is good as a daily but awesome and special when he wants it to be. All makes financial sense to me, so does the buying used to save on depreciation.

I wouldn't say someone who was selling his McLaren to buy an F-Type SVR was struggling.

Nor are we all powerfully built PAYE types. But yeah, you keep those NHS execs in their money with their BTL portfolios, supercars etc. I'm amazed you attack the likes of Shmee who cost you nowt, yet you say nothing about the public sector fat cats you prop up via PAYE??? "Truly amazing" and I suspect Gorbachev would say the same thing too. Let me guess, you pay your Telly tax too? You prop up the likes of communist Gary Linekar too eh?

benjijames28 is the epitome of Soviet Britain.

But they don't drive around London. They go to events, road trips across the continent. Something most 'normal' guys don't get to do.

Like it or not these are realistic channels. People like real life content, these 'vloggers' or whatever term you wish to use provide this content. They do it pretty well and clearly work hard. May not be to everyone's liking, but clearly there is a huge following for this and that doesn't just relate to the auto sector.

And furthermore your prediction for Shmee is funny. Even if he stops his own Youtube, I suspect it will be because of far bigger opportunities. In fact I will go as far as predicting one or more of these guys will one day be on mainstream TV in some capacity.

Sorry mate but you just come across as a completely bitter bell-end.

You yourself just took out an 8k loan to buy a 'new' car...if you have to sell it because you're struggling to make the repayments, make sure to come back here and let us know so we can all have a good laugh along with you.
