As the other chap mentioned it's the 750mc MR2 champ that I'm going for



Loads to do though, building the car, buying the gear, getting my license. I'm sure I could pull together some interesting VLOGs from it but trying to keep it on the low down, somewhat. I don't want to be the vlogger on the grid, just the new guy with the novice sticker! and obviously don't want any people bothering me at race weekends haha. I'll be nervous as feck
Great news, imgur is great for image hosting IMO. Decent app for uploads from phone, quick box to click to copy the bbcode for it, free...

Jesus man, has TGE banged your mum or something?
Not my Mum. I don’t think TGE is that way inclined. He did issue some bizarre fatwa against me, via instagram. Offering money for my personal details, which led to hacking attempts being made on my PH account. So yes, ‘something’.

I just cant fathom why people continue to follow/watch people that they don't like. Just don't f&*cking watch him and you wont get your knickers in such a twist over things he does.
Shmee's content is not for me, so I don't watch it.
Damn straight, talking sense there. Unsubscribe to those that annoy and don't give them your vote or your very very precious time. Totally agree re Shmug and TGE... the worst of YT automotive cringe-content.
Exactly this. Why keep subscribing to and watching someone that riles you? What a waste of time.
Me thinks you haven’t read the thread title.

Secondly, I don’t subscribe to any of TGE’s channels. I got messaged, informing me of the fakery in that video, and I watched it on that basis. And long may this thread be a vent for all the superfluous drama going on – more entertaining than the videos, a lot of the time.

A Mk3? Good luck with it, I'll be tuning in.

A brutal assessment of what it takes to be an automotive youtuber from Ricky (LLF).

Even if you can't stand him, he makes some fair points imo.

Ricky's Video said:
Don't do YouTube unless you want to dedicate your life to it.

If you start now, you aren't getting paid for 3 to 4 years.

You don't get subscribers out of nowhere.

Know your audience and upload at the right times.

Nothing matters more than the thumbnail and title and making sure they work together.
All of which I very, very much agree with.

Latest STG video. Bagged himself a C4 wrc replica from a bloke in Birmingham for the galag snow tour...
Unsubbed from him, SOL, Seb, JWW content is absolute 💩 now, liked his videos in 2016-2018 rather watch TGE and Archie, Shmee now. Archies content is becoming a bit stale though clearly living a life he can’t afford

Really enjoying the car throttle guys right now. The 500 quid track car challenge was a fun one.
Love that channel, nice to see the lad who got pushed down the motorway by that truck back driving again

Well its f**king weird that of all the st going on in the world something being filmed at a different time to whats stated is seen as something that needs paying any attention to. He is not raping children for gods sake.

Every big youtuber has some kind of fakery/smoke and mirrors going on. Its all part of appealing to your subscribers. I imagine most are very different off camera they than are on.

I can't be alone in thinking that most would prefer this thread to not have the pathetic drama such as you have highlighted filling up this thread.

I also can't see anyone else here agreeing with your outrage at his video (most 13 years olds stick to youtube comments).

Youtube takes graft and dedication, and you won't just 'blow up' overnight, even if you get lucky and get one video that goes viral, you still need to graft, do your homework and be realistic about it all.

SOL is very random at the moment. Seems there's a new gym series starting now...
The Lamborghini ownership has been up there with Hoovies garage in terms of suffering for the content bro.

I haven't watched it for a while as he seems to be over extended when it comes to the Murci.
I am sure there is a motivation to write off the costs of this as a business, but documenting how badly the work has been done by people monkeying around on the cheap is brave or stupid.
