Lol I don't know why he needs an SUV for winter, in his part of London (South West) it rarely snows, unless something in the Daily Express about freak weather has really spooked him laugh Surely the RS6 is a Quattro and can handle bad weather? confused

The RS6 won't be due until Spring. This whole SUV for the winter is pointless, he has the A35 which is already 4WD. I also don't get the point of having an A45S when the RS6 is going to arrive at the same time.

It's content isn't it.

If he stuck with the same two cars people get bored and stop watching.

On the other hand this is a forum, and most YouTube content is pretty mindless drivel.

No doubt this thread drives awareness and views so both “content creators” and posters here are happy all round. A win-win situation.

Many businesses in other sectors do very well from mediocre - one of the most popular beers is Carling, the most popular UK restaurant is McDonald’s, the most popular coffee freeze dried Nescafé, the most popular TV reality TV. Nothing with recognising that and providing the market with what it wants (and in this case pays for with views).

My admiration for business models that deliver on what people want to consume doesn’t mean I will defend Jacob’s Creek as a great wine though smile

Wow! Things are pretty dire on here. As a forum, its absolutely shocking and that's down to all of you who post completely tragic views and opinions. I wonder how many people realize just how pathetic they come across....it's absolutely laughable that the same people think their opinions really, truly mean anything to anyone.

A lot of people on here have to use this forum as a way of solidifying their jealousy for people who are making a ton of money out of enjoying cars and chasing THEIR dream. I would be 100% confident that if any of you had the opportunity to do anything similar for a fraction of the money, you would all do it. I don't understand the need to constantly berate people who are trying to figure out their content, careers etc. and they do it for people's pleasure as well (most of the time putting their own sanity at risk, because of idiots like you who continue to criticize).

I am sure there are some people on here with cool jobs, people who get paid lots of money, people who may even have their dream job! But, let's flip this on its head and criticize every project you work on, every mistake you make, every time you think you succeed you get a load of jealous nobodies judging you and calling you out on it!

The truth behind each Youtuber (and, behind all of you on here) is that you can display exactly what you want to display, you project and display your own brand and your life however you see fit. So, why not put your life on Insta or Youtube and see how you like it when someone tells you you are st at your job, or you've made the wrong decision because 'Steve in Barnsley' thinks so. Well, I am guessing quite a lot of you do but nobody gives a crap, because nobody likes you (simple to understand, really..)

You're all as bad as each other; embarrassing, appalling people! Most likely, the same people who wouldn't dare say anything negative to any of the people's faces you decide to slag off, but would ask for a selfie!

Grow up, look at life with some positivity for once.

Considering the very raison d'etre of the Youtuber is to make money from being 'liked', your post is nicely ironic.

Not sure if this is Archie or Paul......... biggrin

I think the difference is I'm not making my money out of sharing falsehoods or glamorising my life through social media for the pursuit of ad revenue and corporate affiliation pay offs.

I'd say we the viewers are your customer and what enables you to get paid so either change or accept the views on this niche forum will never be satisfied.

How many bad comments are there on the average Carfection or Harry M video (videos which stand up by themselves)........ not many if any......

Not a Youtuber. But a long time fan of Shmee, STG, SOL, and a few others as well as a long-time viewer of this forum (as well as others). It's just a bit ridiculous that you all find so much time to write so many stty comments and unnecessary pointless feedback to make yourselves feel better about your own lives (and jobs).

I don't know why you waste your time watching these videos if all you do is come onto a thread to leave bad feedback. Don't watch the video in the first place...

Someone was commenting about Emma Walsh's comments, and how bad they are. Yet everyone here is just as bad. Spread some love, positivity and happiness or, don't spread anything apart from that marmite on your toast in the morning.

Anyway, no point in trying to add anything positivity here. You all seem hellbent on destroying each other, and maybe that's what makes you happy?

That's the exact feeling I received from your first post, that you were trying to spread positivity...

Ironic, given you have chosen to focus purely on the negative posts on here. A bit like the YT comments, you're never going to please everyone and will see a mix of reactions to every video posted. But there are plenty of posts from people praising YT content and it's creators on here.

Anyway, welcome to the forum Paul.

Forgot to ask earlier, Jon, your AWD system comparison, how many indignant essays have you had from Subaru owners for not including one?
