Are these Vloggers just a scam? SOL or Shmee etc? (Vol 2)

20,393 Miles by 2 Careful Owners from New..... Really?!

You think that but I posted in another thread that the cheapest Aventador on AT is a 2012 LHD 20k mile example for 185K, not saying the SV is worth more than double but you can’t blame them for trying.


That being said, who’s gona fork out 400 big ones, I.e 3 bed house in surrey for a 20k mile ex rental Lamborghini from Birmingham

True, but I suppose he wasn't technically an owner....

Exactly. No mention that it’s an ex rental car that has been ragged to buggery from cold by hundreds of <expletive deleted>.

You can see the damage to the wheels from a mile off in the photos!

Typical. 19999 in the ad so it comes up in <20k mile searches. It may seem minor but this is probably the tip of the iceberg.

Not your typical Vlogger but Harry’s Garage was wonderful once again this week at the auction. The 930s.... spaff.

i cant pretend i wouldnt love a free audi r8 convertible for the summer. lol

I was actually shocked that Audi UK lent him a brand new R8 RWS which is supposedly a limited production car for as long as he wants. He's got some serious connection at Audi HQ.

I was as well. He said on Instagram there are only 3 UK RWS spyders.

I got the impression it was a press / pre launch car so probably couldn’t be sold to the public, hence pimping it out to vloggers?

[Burwood]

For as long as he wants, eh? Rubbish. Nice car though.

I know that Sid has been criticised for driving irresponsibly on public roads, but he really is a natural in front of the camera and being able to drive like he does really makes me think that he'll eventually be picked up by one of the mainstream car shows.

His latest video of the 991.2 GT3 is a true testament to what he's capable of:

The stuff he did with that fiesta st of his was legendary skill, i don't understand the ammount of crap he gets. The videos i saw him really going were always in the same road that looked like an abandoned construction site (without construction).

I like Sid, and I think that video was great, but he sometimes gets "crap" for a reason.

Amazing video on track, then at the end he does some big skids on the road, which is very obviously public because there's oncoming traffic in shot https://youtu.be/avNFzor_fWQ?t=7m19s

How is that any different to likes of Harris and Catchpole?!

Location. When have you ever seen Catchpole, Harris, Bovingdon et al sliding a car around a bend with any other cars nearby? They’re always on deserted roads, done when nobody is around.

Sid does silly slides with cars coming in the other direction which is far more dangerous.

I can't unsee it he looks like Homer Simpson

They get the road closed quite often

No they don't. They have the cameramen/snappers spot for them when they're not on a press launch.

When on press launches it's most often a quiet road out in the sticks. Very rare that a press launch has closed roads

[danzman1991]

Sideways Sidney is an utter clown. I saw his antics in a video driving a Fiesta ST like a moron in public roads once, refuse to give him another single view on any platform whatever he goes on to do. He’ll end up being in a serious accident one day.

[djdest]

As will LLF, place your bets please!

I reckon sid will stack it first. LLF drives quickly but with less of the drifting lark

I’m going for LLF. He seems half asleep most of the time and not paying attention.

[TheAngryDog]

A vlogger I subscribe to has put a vlog out saying he has quit his job to focus more on his yt channel and his brand. Admittedly his job is only 25 hours a week so it isn't going to be a massive loss compared to if I did it, but i think it is an odd decision. Llf has over 3 times more subs yet has had to go back into work to make ends meet. Ok this vlogger still lives at home (sensible if youre going to quit your job) but I struggle to see how he will make money from it, especially given the amounts of money now paid by yt. I may be wrong and I hope for his sake that I am, but it is going to be tough.
