Found it funny that Hyundai and Kia are getting involved with these guys.

Found it even funnier that Mr JWW is getting involved with Yianni Yiannimize. The Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau of social media surely ?

Sam putting 2,500 miles on his 360 straight away, fair play!
Agreed. I've been an on / off watcher of his channel for a while, never really fully connecting with him or his content. That is until now, I'll be glued to this series on the 360, finally, a car I can relate to as one I lusted after as a boy.. and are now at 'reasonable' prices as a modern classic.

This. He is rather good at the old editing.

JWW's channel has flatlined over the past few months. He needs to buy a new car he can do videos on or maybe some road trip content.

Just at two pretty opposing ends of the social spectrum.

Appreciate that's a subjective view.

Am genuinely baffled by the attention the Wrap King gets and think he has associated with some pretty unpleasant folk as he promotes his business.

Maybe a question for Tim, but why do most of the vloggers feel the need to use an overly long version of their cars name all the time?

"I'm going for a drive in my manual red ferrari 360"
"I'm taking my metallic purple audi R8 V10+ through the drive through"
"I'm going to wrap my 370bhp Mercedes A45 AMG"

etc

Probably because it helps with indexing the video and getting hits from people looking for any part of the name. What you say in the video counts for that as well as the text in the description etc.

I was going to say keywords too but then mostly they are irrelevant.

I've just uploaded a video where the car's brand name isn't in the title, and I recently dropped Ferrari ahead of a car name in a title too so I'm not sure it's necessarily required. The draft titles I've made for my AMG GT R next week don't include Mercedes either.

Log onto youtube and one of the first suggestions is another McDonalds drive thru. Please stop it. Russian roulette I would log on to watch involving several of the yoootubers/influencers. Having such a "great day" and "smashing fun" in the hilarity of ordering what the bloke in front had, not so much.

I went 'thru' Starbucks in the P1 in fairness, thinking out of the box a tad/copying Paul Wallace.
Just being honest here - I only really did it to try get something vaguely viral. Didn't work though as the video has had a massive poo. Lol.
At the worst it's just a bit of fun, and not worth becoming irate over.

Surely you just need to strap some peng ting in a bikini in the pax seat and drive round a track somewhere really fast. It worked very nicely for Mr Patrese. Nice skimpy top... bit of a milf / LRF but it got the views!

Farfus tried the same idea but his mrs wore some scarf that covered the "interesting" bits.

Is there a word that means the opposite of humble? Because whatever that word is, Salomondrin is it.

I have an idea for a next video that would include one or two youtubers be stuck in a supercar for up to 12 hours
