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

The insults thrown in here are nothing compared to the comments sections most YouTubers have.

I've actually replied to some of the more interesting remarks. One humorous exchange went along the lines of

Commenter: You're a see you next tuesday
Me: Oh, cheers
Commenter: Sorry, that probably came across a bit harsh. Didn't mean it
Me: Yeah, I guess your post was open to so many different interpretations....

I wonder why they bother... sad really! For what it's worth I often scroll down and read some of the comments to see what others think, and I rarely see such insults. I think the Youtube algorithm puts the good ones first and the dross last.

Not watched Seb for quite a while but just watched his latest Gulf car collection video. Very very good! He's seems to have really upped his game recently. Brilliant petrolhead content.

I see where you’re coming from, I prefer the cheaper builds where he does it himself.

I have a question about promoted videos. As I said before, watched this video on the Mulgari BMW 2-Series: https://youtu.be/ewgp9f5eAAI

Very enjoyable, so are most of their videos, but they always mention BOTB, so why aren’t they sponsored videos? Or are they being naughty?

They work for BOTB, Tim's a decent chap. They may not be getting paid for the BOTB promotion bit in which case box does not need to be ticked. Same as any YTer promoting their "own" stuff.

That makes sense thanks. I prefer his videos to the other guy, he’s too cheesy. Videos about him not the car.

Funny talking about BifB, the fabrication work on the latest vid on those radiators was insane. Well, Oscar was insane. Chris just filmed lol

STGs video with Stradman was good too.

Just seen Shmee and Misha filming Shmee’s Celica at Apex at the Nürburgring. They’ve headed for the track now I think.

I resisted the urge to go over for a selfie lol.

I’ve just done my first ever laps here, it’s amazing but I now fully appreciate how brave he was bringing the GT and Senna previously. How you drive this place and talk to the camera at the same time I’ve no idea!

Will give this a watch.

If you aren't aware of darkside they are a yorkshire based Tuning company have been around a good few years now. 2 brothers started it up and have done really well for themselves. I was at the ring with them earlier this year they took that crazy citygo.

Didn't realise they were on you tube but wish them all the best. 2 normal guys that have created a huge business all off their own back. A rare thing these days.

[Glenn63]

No idea about anything about these guys but this video popped up so I watched it, and enjoyed it, that noise!

What’s with standing in front of the car pretending to hold a massive fish and smiling like you’re on MDMA? They all do it, SoL is the worst though.

It's a Leon not a Supra.

[Meridius]

Great accent on the guys at Darkside Developments, cant see them getting many international viewers though

If YOU caught a fish that big, you'd be proud too

Really enjoying Jayemm’s channel especially the R8 GT and R8 LMX vid. Knew those editions existed but not much about them so found the video enlightening. Regardless of old or new I’ll never get tired of hearing that V10!

Shame about the rain though..

Watched the Carfection video of the highlights of the Frankfurt show. Had a good laugh at Catchpole playing the arcade game on the BMW stand and entering his name as AMG. Lol

Enjoyed watching Tim take the supra round the ring with Misha

I am warming to the car, although the colour of Tim's really suites it.

[TheAlastair34]

If you dont watch it already then the SOUP car restoration are amazing well worth having a look!

I keep getting drivetribe YT vid's suggested for similar videos's (i.e. car launches etc) and see that those are getting massive views compared to the usual suspects.

perhaps this is going to be a way forward, less channels posting the same and a collaborative approach.

Interesting Rob Ferretti bought one for his rental fleet and literally no-one wanted to rent it so he sold it.

i don't think the reskinned BMW image has done toyota any good, leaving the stock BMW interior was a bad strategy IMO

at that price point why not just go full BMW M2

Because like he said people who are looking to rent an exotic go for a Ferrari, Lambo or Mclaren and not a Toyota.

He also did a video on a limited edition Supra which didn't even sell for MSRP so it looks like Supra market has cooled in the US meaning you can get one for MSRP.

Yes, got soaked twice and felt bad about the car but it was fine! I was much more excited about driving the D2 S8 on the same day though (video out now although I can't link it)
