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

Given that it’s 1*C today and the roads are covered in salt I probably wouldn’t be taking my SV (if I had one) our either. But I agree I’d like to see more of the SV on Tom’s channel - I’m sure there’s a happy medium!

You know full well he just doesn’t drive them .

Compared to schmee who does these big European road trips , buys his amg then straight away takes it around the ring .

People might not like him but no one can deny he uses his cars and he’s very straight up with his reasoning as to why he makes his decisions .

Without trying to defend it is clearly him keeping his channel rolling with minimal effort so he can keep telling Chinese watch and phones makers to give him money to feature their products.

As for the SV and half of his fleet. He buys to invest with the hope they don't completely drop a bk or might in some cases sell for more. So it's up to him how he uses his cars (or not)

When I clicked on his latest and saw that he was in the garage. I clicked off. I'll guess his brother is acting as a mull for that northern dealership and hasn't just bought a RS5.... Just clickbaiting nonsense

I don't think he's really interested in the car stuff , watch his fitness videos and it's like a different person .

He actually looks passionate and interested in what he's filming , rather than just whipping a camera out filming 10 mins worth of car content and fooling around.

Regarding Tom's stuff I liked when he took his Carrera T over to Europe with some other cars last year, was cool to see it being given a proper drive.

I know he's never pushed himself as being a 'car channel' in the traditional sense but he does have the capability to make some more stuff like that so hopefully he'll push the boat out a bit this year

I noticed that too. I think his Youtube maybe more of another funnel for his ldn muscle. You would think he would invest in the Ldn Muscle channel more.

FYD has washed that old X6 again. How did he get 126k subs with content like that?

Honestly it's because his mate Rich owns that mightly modified Focus RS and sold Jamie his old Max Power Fiesta.

But he got visions of grandeur and after sitting in a portakabin with hats and stickers not selling any of it his content has been dreadful.

I was hoping he'd keep pushing on Max Power content but it's just not. If you thought Salomandrin comments were toxic look at his!

It's a shame really as I used to like his channel but it's been going down hill for a while.

On another note, I see Tim is about to drop 500bhp into his Focus.

The latest video from supercar driver with Carl Hartley is a refreshing change.

Anyone seen STG's animated podcast. I'm really not a fan of the animation. Not sure why he's chosen this route.

I thought it was very poor. Carl comes across as both very arrogant and gives very little insight into the supercar business. Of course he isn't going to give away any secrets with regard to his business but then whats the point of the video?

[fridaypassion]

It's called advertising which is all SCD do.

It would be easier and less time intensive to just upload the whole episode with a static image as the background.

I just assumed it was easier to produce while he was driving the world than filming segments together with people

Its either one of two things, not funny or he's a complete wker. Either way not a good look.

It's the second. Anyone thinking that is an act has never met the man.

AH’s video at Jota was a breath of fresh air and not a single “chaos” to be heard. The thumbnail was a reminder of how good that Lambo looked in 2018 BC. (Before Clingfilm)

I thought the car was wrapped purple, is it actually purple with carbon/black wrapped bits added?

The car is originally black, the purple is a wrap and the carbon is part of the bodykit he fitted.

That’s what I thought hence my confusion. The thumbnail is him with the Huracan resplendent in purple so not sure how it reminds us how it looked BC (loving that term though )

Sorry, this was BC for me and when it looked at its best and not cheapened with purple bits.

Sorry, think I get you now.

You meant the purple thumbnail reminded you how good the car looked when black, not the car was black in the thumbnail reminding you how good that looked.
