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

That track did not play into the power of the M3! We've already filmed up to episode 3 which was wheels and tyres... it's getting interesting

I managed to get the TVR with two wheels about 18" off the ground at Curborough a few years back which was a bit scary.
It's definitely better suited to Caterhams and the like

I enjoyed watching the episode, nice to put a face to a forum name too. I was very surprised to see how close the e46 was to your car. Will you be weighing both cars to get a direct comparison? It may make the results more believable if there's a huge weight advantage in the 46's favour.

It was a good watch and my first thought was the same as above 'track not really suited to the M3'.. good news for the E46 i guess!

M3 might have been quicker still with the better gearbox DCT

Bought it about 10 years ago in the hope I'd one day own an CGT / LFA.

Still a few quid short so I put it on the M3 to save me the £80 retention fee.

I have V10 OOH on my (3 cyl) motorbike.

V10 OOH Gimmie! i want that on my m5!

Definitely faster with a DCT, I was either on the limiter in 2nd or out of the powerband in 3rd, it was super annoying.

I hope to go back with new brakes and Cup 2 tyres on to improve the time once the e46 gets too close.

Surprises me how quickly Jon Olsson sells cars given how much work is put into making them unique to him. 3 months in the RS6 between announcement and sale video and now the 4x4 squared is for sale too (only been 2 months)

Vlogger is a bit of a bell end tbh.

Not sure why there is too much surprise that the Police are on top considering it is Sloane Street. The Police were a bit too heavy tbh, but apparently there are new rules and car owners were in contravention of them...

Some great cars there though! Thx, enjoyed that.

I liked that too. I really want to turn up to one of those car spotting impromptu things. his video seems to give the impression that the police were mostly spent stopping people during the day, his video seems to give the impression it wasn't really happening at night, especially when people were getting louder.

More bellend driving on public roads by LLF and a fat bald guy with bad teeth.

Great as a mobile advert for his ventures but apart from that its a bit big and impractical.

Stumbled upon this guy whilst checking out some Trackhawk videos. Won't be to everyone's tastes but I've subscribed.

Just watched TGE's latest video

It seems mental you can pay your deposit, lock in your spec, get given your build/VIN number and then the factory might or might not build your car depending if they feel like it or not

Looking at Shmees video of that collection in Japan, oh my god, that F40 LM

[_dobbo_]

I can't decide if I like Tavarish or not. On the one hand I love his have a go approach, on the other he never seems to properly finish anything so I don't get closure.

At the other end of the scale MCM finished their Datsun 240z and it's fantastic, and The Skid Factory are building a barra powered bedford van. They just released a 36 minute video of them making hoses, and I honestly loved it. TurboYoda is absolutely my favourite youtuber, helped by the fact that he appears to hate youtube

Just watched that episode of skid factory. Really enjoyed it.
Tried watching mcm but i could not get on with their sense of humour.
Agree with the tavarish comment but that is what he does. I want to see the sl55 finished

It was a great set of videos from Shmee and Ben over the course of the Gumball trip. I will admit I skipped through a lot of the repetition (Going over the grid / cars at every stop was pretty repetetive). Would have been nice to see a bit more partying as well! But i guess they arrive at their destination then hit the editing suite for hours on end.

Anyway, good videos.

Homebuilt by jeff was a channel that was recommended on ph. Really enjoy it but do find the mrs jeff bits rather cringey.anybody else?

maybe a touch cringey, but her part is at the end of the video so easy to turn off early. Saying that its interesting to hear facts about AUS motoring that I would not normally listen to or find out.
