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

Glad I don’t have to use roads near these plonkers.

These types of videos seem to be becoming more and more popular.

Guy in the S2000 was a bit sketchy.. https://youtu.be/pqNkEkf6c-0?t=8m36s

Yeah, Send it!

What a chav-fest that video is. I can't believe people actually say 'send it' in real life without feeling like utter bellends, let alone turn up at a meet with a sign saying it....

And then there's all the rubbish all over the verge, the totally inappropriate baby in a dangerous and noisy environment at night and the ridiculous 100mph+ fly-bys with so many pedestrians everywhere. But at least it gets Adam C some views so that's good.

Some of the cars are actually quite nice, it's just a pity about everything else really.

Ooh nice. Does that still use the SMG box?

Don't think so on his one, but this was also designed for the stock M5 so I would imagine it does work with SMG.

In fairness, all that nobbish behaviour goes on whether he’s recording or not. While not on a par with this video, even “classy” meets in the West End have their share of antisocial bellendery.

So that makes it OK?

More conventional car journalism, but Carwow have said they had 2million views over a 48hr period for the first time. Looking back it seems there Suzuki Jimny one is over 600k views in that time...to keep this PH, in that video Mat got the car up to 160km/h (about 100mph), when all then journalism is saying the cars top speed is 90mph!

That’s not what I said at all. Simply pointing out it goes on a lot at meets nowadays whether the likes of Adam are filming or not. Personally I think all that stuff is neither big nor clever, but them I’m not 19 and going home to watch “too fast, too annoyed”. While we’re at it, recording “cold starts” ranks equally high in the nobbish behaviour stakes. Sometimes seems I’m in the minority thinking that way though.

Funnily enough I wasn't suggesting that all the stupid behaviour in that video only happened because Adam C was there, or asked them to. I'm quite sure he isn't that influential. I've also seen similar at all sorts of other meets before, though probably never as bad. Still not sure that means it can be justified in anyway.

Bound to be some who do it for internet fame but most just play to the crowd I’m sure. As you say, it’s not justifiable though. “Tray sliding” is another dick move.

STG is driving around the world next year, and is trying to raise £25k for the trip.

I can't think of another YouTuber that I'd rather watch do this:

It does seem rather vulgar. Especially when he has a Ferrari and Porsche sat on his driveway. Perhaps it would be better to have done a Patreon campaign, and present it as paying a small fee each month to see Premium Content rather than a Kickstater which appears to be 'fund my holiday'.

I enjoy Sam's content but not to the extent I'll fund his holiday. He could always flog a (financed) car

Same; I’m driving a smart car to the Sahara desert next week and it’s 100% self funded, with every penny of the (£15k and counting...) we’ve raised going to the charity. KICKstarter to fund a drive around the world for YouTube views is pretty sad.

This would have been much better as a Patroen campaign. As it is, it does feel a lot like YouTube rich kid has a jolly round the world at someone else’s expense, whilst his two supercars sit at home...

Stopped watching his channel when he decided he wanted to have multiple projects on the go and never finished one of them...

Tavarish can be bad for that too

Shipping the car and flying in and out... wtf.
Buy a mini or defender, get your union jack boxers on and head east.
Honestly, sounds like a total cop out.

He must think we are idiots or something. Shame, he was high up in my books this year, the content was really good.
