Even I'm confused!

I was tempted to contact Dean @ Redline to ask about a car they have on sale but then I might want to be financing it with Harrington so that's out the window rolleyes

I've had invitations to take part again but I am choosing to give it a miss this year because I intend to head to the Monaco F1 the following weekend and have very little other gaps in my schedule this spring and summer.

Just how did Paul Wallace become an "exhaust expert" ?
I was wondering the same seeing as he seems to know fk all beyond hearing of a few different brand names
It's all meant to be very tongue-in-cheek, hence the geeky spectacles.
Who's glasses?

If you look at Harrington Finance they've tweeted about an upcoming partnership with Shmee!

I can't even see any link between Harrington Finance & Redline, in fact if you Google both companies names or bits of them the only result is the post from Redline.

Some seriously salty people on here, Paul's clearly messing with the Exhaust Expert bit, he's just a fan of loud cars. And MrJWW's Modern Classics stuff has been brilliant and his MVN stuff has been interesting and informative all while his new child has just arrived. Sam's been knocking out amazing Drive the World content. Some people really have nothing better to do than moan at all the free awesome youtube content we're getting right now, they need to sit in a dark room and have a word with themselves.

Regarding Harrington Finance, the post does suggest that they’ve been using the Redline name in their advertising without permission and despite them not being partners.

In a similar vein, if you scroll down on the ‘about us’ page of their website you will see that the company has a TrustPilot rating of 4 out of 5, but there is no rating that I can see on TrustPilot. Their website is shown as unclaimed.

The parent company, Portman Asset Finance Ltd, is on TrustPilot, but it only has a rating of 3 out of 5.

Did Schmee delete a post or has there been a bit of tidying up going on?

Marty's Matchbox Makeovers. I know they're toys but I just find it fascinating how he restores these cars.

I've been watching Adam Smith so I can lust after his 3 door Cosworth.

I've been subscribed to BareMetalHW for a long time - , similar content but with Hot Wheels cars. It is strangely satisfying watching how they are restored - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnsnjDFdtULQ4ILpA...

That is not how I understand it. I understood from the video he is going into partnership with them in terms of 'allowing him to speak on his channel'. I am sure all will become clear...not the first time Shmee has been invovled with a dodgy finance company (trading poo1poo).

dont care where tim gets his capacity to add those cars to his inventory and id wish he would stop bothering to explain so as not be called out as fake excuses..its his business

the only irony is that with that much funding one would expect a far better cinematography and sound to takes things to new heights. i remember seeing a shmee video on an open exhaust la ferrari and was completely shocked by how amatuer it was with him and the camera sitting inside the car. it really defeats the purpose...i wouldnt blame though if the open exhaust was pointing inwards towards the cockpit for sure but that was not the case
