Are these Vloggers just a scam? SOL or Shmee etc???????

STG has a new video called "should i have bought a 570S?", very interesting didn´t he say he could barely afford the 540C? I guess he´s either living in dreamworld or doesn´t keep track with his lies.

Watched 1 minute of this ,what a twunt.

In his "I'm selling both my cars" vid ,he said he's selling the 540 because he never uses it and it costs ££££ just to sit there.

A 570S won't be doing either of those things ?........

Never watching his BS ever again.

What's wrong with your understanding of tenses.

He used the word "should" and "bought", not "shall" and "buy". It's a retrospective look at whether IF he'd bought the 570S, would he still be selling up right now? This is clear from the title and the video, if you watch the first minute.

I mean, it's a filler episode, but it's a fair comparison to make.

I usually avoid the question-titled videos. I just know it's going to be rambling on for 10 minutes about something that can be answered in 10 seconds. They're all guilty of it, but as mentioned above, it's filler.

Genuinely awesome vid here (not me/mine)

Perfectly captures an epic Euro road trip

Should be just up PH street

I watched the full 35mins and enjoyed it all

https://youtu.be/P3OqgnyIYRA

Just watched it. Epic, nice to see some "normal cars" (and some supercars driven the way they should). I don´t like those "look at me, I can afford a supercar" type of people.

Also really enjoyed this. Perhaps I'm being naive too, but the speeds maintained at times on that tour were pretty intense. Looked like fun!

Just bumping this again as I feel the video deserves it. A really nice watch with a lot of good driving/car/noise footage and a gentle and subtle level of talking that gives you a nice feel for how the trip works and how enjoyable it is. Lovely roads and a lot of care has gone into shooting from different angles etc too. Very understated and classy (if that's the right word - no click-baiting, shouting, generally going "wow" "epic" etc) video, Hope it gets a few more views.

Thanks guys glad you liked it, love sharing these experiences with fellow minded motor heads :-)

It's an excellent video Joe. Even the wife was enjoying the scenery and suggesting it might be a good trip when the new Roadster arrives

Possibly the best video by a YouTuber ever?

Really good Joe. Reminded me of a video you did in Shmee"s GT4 with Ben which was good but this had moved on a long way. As a fan of driving as much as of cars I also liked your short one showing your excellent heel and toe on the trip.

Another vote for the video.

Atmospheric background music was a good touch and made all the difference.

Not UK car related but are you guys following the drama with car vlogger DDE and this road rage video showing a 720s getting smashed by a couple bikers after cars and coffee in Palm Beach?

You guys are completely misunderstanding what he is saying, he has never said he's selling up because he can't afford it, you directly quoted what he actually said which was it's a lot of car to just have sitting there, he mentions the fact that he can't afford to have cars sitting around like JWW and Shmee but I think what he done was a sensible choice.

Why is this thread so full of hateful jealous people? You're acting like children.

[93DW]

Shmee, Not usually one to pass comment like this but your recent upload with "Queen B" was so so cringey. Essentially 17 minutes of her talking and you just laughing awkwardly. Whos idea was the video?

TGE enjoyed the 720S video, Car looks amazing my triceratops.

Nope. And I really don't care about 'drama' with any of these people. I watch videos. Don't care about whatever drama they want to create/rant about

Congrats, love the colours and 61k 16 hours.

Pauls last video was 31k is 16 hours, Sams 57k in 2 days, James 57k in 23 hours.

With those views it's pretty much paying for itself

Thanks mate! Yeh I'm almost there toward paying for it, £15 down, another £247,985 to go. Lols
Has had 7500 odd comments too, has gone bananas for a channel my size.
The giveaway in it is pretty good tbh, would be incredible if someone won a McLaren off the back of it.

Slightly OT, but I remember when BOTB were a much younger company.

The original offering was a fixed number of tickets per car, example, BMW E92 M3, they'd publically state they'd sell 6000 tickets at £15 each.

While this meant you knew the gross margins they were working with (£90k in tickets for a £60k car) you also knew your approximate odds. I congratulate their success, but I did prefer knowing the entries before.

Still, their massive marking budget is paying for a number of the vloggers to keep vlogging at the moment, so fair play.

A couple of years ago a husband and wife both won a BOTB car within the space of six months!

Yeah the husband won an aston and the wife a big merc, jammy! I am a bit jealous.

[L99JKB]

I much prefer Shmee's vlog type videos. The latest GT8 video is great. That's the sort of supercar content I like and will definitely watch. I think he's the best of all the YouTubers at this sort of stuff. The other guys all videoing the same cars/events does get tedious.
Also like TGE's rough and ready style but seeing everyone else turn up to the 720s collection pointing cameras makes me wonder how many "Mr friend bought a 720s" videos are going to pop up.
