I have a background in film, much of the YT world is very similar. Working years with lots of effort for no reward before you go anywhere, extreme criticism from all angles, constant pressure etc etc...

Not that it will affect 10 year olds, but despite all the dangerous things we did in film by far the biggest killer in the industry was driving whilst tired. I can imagine many YTers suffer from it - when you have a global audience there genuinely isn't a moment when you really stop working.
You become a slave to your audience. Some can handle the pressure, others can't.

Depression is serious and I've seen a lot of successful people go down in flames because they don't know how to deal with it.

Seen Through Glass has just put a video up from Drive The World featuring a D-Type Jag. As far as I'm concerned, he's won the Internet today.

For me, videos with these sort of cars by far trump anything about Senna delivery, Senna PPF, Senna fires etc etc etc.

If STG carries on with this sort of content for DTW, as far as I'm concerned he will blow every other YT'er out the water.
I enjoyed watching it too but did I miss something, it was a kit car wasn't it / replica.

Absolutely loving MRJWW's new modern classic series.

Just wish he would add a bit more B roll of the cars externally and internally into the videos and it's viewing perfection.

JWW put up a video of F40 which is absolutely sensational. Certainly a car I would rather have.
Shmee featured the same car 3 years ago.

Llf-chavs and repeatedly asks questions the featured guy the same question over and over.

Jayemm - destroying performance car seats day by day with inane commentary.

Doug demaro - he's ok but waffles on a a bit.

NY muscle - the cleaning guy is quite interesting

Arxhie Hamilton seems. Like a spoilt brat but he's obviously from money and had an actual racing career.

I thought the Archie 550 video might be worth a watch, but all he does is go on about how much the price has gone up.

I had the Effspot Japanese car meet one pop up the other day and was so torn. I wanted to have the volume up for the cars, but couldn't stand whoever he is just constantly repeating 'squad'.

I've just started watching Shmee and the Japanese hyper car collector video was awesome. Fantastic knowledge from Tim and that F50 is gorgeous.

Have a feeling JWW reads this thread because he's content has moving away from showcasing his shop and doing proper reviews.

Just watched Harry's feel update video. Always love his content. I actually met him randomly last month in Milton Keynes and asked him about his future plans for his YT channel. He said he's going to focus on reviewing rare and older cars and was going to up the production quality. Can't wait to see what he has in the works.

James might read this, but im pretty sure his content changes will be due to large scale feedback from social media and the comments section, not a small group of grumpy wkers on PH (myself included) hehe

Anyone seen stubhubs latest trilogy ?

Taken his 2cv from wales up to Scotland and up the highest pass then done tan hill on the way back to wales .

2cv's aren't my thing but his stuff does make a refreshing change to the normal vidoes of the same cars we see.

Email from Someone I know said:
Something new for 2019 is that we have been working on providing cars for the Youtuber Mr JWW to use for filming, the first video of which has gone live today, big thanks to J and K for making these cars available for the day, great fun was had by all! I should hopefully have a list of cars required for future filming very soon so if anyone wants to take part then get back to me once I send the list out. Video link is below to see what was filmed last Sunday.
Same scud in my mirror. biggrin

Also with his kid on the way, so probably wanting to do stuff nearer to home. Seems ideal!

I hope you're joking, but nothing would surprise me with Alejandro after the whole Cupwk lawsuit a few years back. Very odd behaviour.

Tbf you cant blame him for wanting to pursue McLaren after his brand new massively expensive 'hypercar' burst into flames with him and his wife sitting in it

st happens, move on to the next thing and be thankful you and your passengers were able to evacuate safely.

I don't see how filing a lawsuit for $$$ is going to solve the fact he's now scared to drive.

Quite obviously the lawsuit won't solve that and I'm not sure anyone has suggested it will?

If I'd just spent the cash Alejandro had I'd be doing the same I reckon and at the very least I'd be wanting to know exactly what caused it

But isn't that what insurance is for? To cover the material loss.

What he will be filling a lawsuit is to cover his losses at not being unable to work.... i say work but that appears to be a landlord, a presenter of Youtube Vlogs and some small start up stuff......

I have come to dislike the guy and this just screams of someone taking an opportunity to make money.
