Are these Vloggers just a scam? SOL or Shmee etc? (Vol. 3)

Latest Smith & Sniff is a belter.

Yep, rarely a bad video with these guys.

[SydneyBridge]

49- don't really watch anything on you tube, apart from Harry's Garage/Farm

[Warry25]

23 - Probably watch STG and Shmee the most but also a scattering of Carfection, Mighty Car Mods, Adam Ivell, DannyDC2, JayEmm and the occasional Harry's garage when a video takes my fancy.

As an avid sim-racer I also watch nearly all of Jimmy Broadbent's stuff. His karting videos with Super-GT are excellent.

[timrud]

Jimmy and Super GT are good

[Mikee19]

33 - LHT Performance, Harrys garage / farm, Jay Leno's garage, barn find hunter, hoonigan autofocus, stickydiljoedotcom

[E36Dan]

for those who like well put together videos without sponsored crap and a Scandinavian accent, I've spent some hours with this chap this week:

Good vids!

40 here: EVO, Carfection, Davide Cironi, Harry, Harris, Jayemm.

One thing I have enjoyed is watching (old and new) videos of journalists/YouTubers own cars. Bovingdons 996, Harris with the Tuthill 911, Henry's Escort, Matt Watson's 996 and of course Harry's fleet. Interesting to see what they have considering what they drive for a job.

This thread is starting to feel like a 90s Yahoo chat room.

I’m 25 but also an old man inside. I have a tendency to look at Super cars and think Christ I would never get in or out of that it’s too low and I’ll get a bad back

[waynecyclist]

44 - Harrys Garage and Farm plus Jay Leno

[NGK210]

Just got home from a pub lock-in. (Brain is a tad addled by Greene King and Jameson chasers.)
Have you seen the latest Smith & Sniff?
Oh. My. God. They’ve stumbled into a parallel universe. Weirdest car vid, ever. Wonderful!

How long realistically do you think Paul Wallace has left on YouTube before he realises just to pack it all in and get a normal job

No disrespect to the guy but he just seems like he has totally lost the plot and has no idea what’s even going on anymore...

“ I took a break of Social Media for 24 hours... To celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday”
“The plans I have lined up...”
“ I wasn’t even going to Geneva anyway”

Started the year (as they all do!) stating that it was going to be the biggest and best year so far for the channel, and that he couldn't believe how much was lined up / planned.

So far, its been a sporadic release of random videos seeming to include anything but cars. Might get more interesting when the Murci comes back, but think he intends on selling this. Last time I checked he had a Fiesta ST, BMW 140i and a Honda motorcycle on long term loan which isn't particularly interesting.

I haven't unsubscribed, but I have stopped watching.

I am guessing he is trying to hold out until spring before he fully showcases his lambo content. And people want to see a step by step process of his murci getting restored back to its factory condition.

I am sure he can get a job working in either the front end or the backend of the automotive and influencer industry.i know that beig a content cretaor for multiple years can get difficult but fair play to him for being able to reach a position that many of us would dream to be in.

I'm going to start a YouTube channel about coronavirus. I'm going to be an influenza.

I'm really enjoying Finnegan's garage at the moment. I thought I'd been on some pretty ballsy collection missions, but they're on another level. The technical stuff is always interesting too.

MotorTrend On Demand is worth the subscription price for all the Roadkill stuff, Roadkill Garage, Dirt Every Day plus Finnegans new show 'Faster With Finnegan'. There's a load of other stuff too!

If you use a US VPN you get pretty much every Top Gear episode from series 1 too.

It'd have been great to see a step by step rebuild, but I don't think he's been that involved with it all. All we've seen is him drop the car off, stripped down and then repainted. Now it's waiting for SB Engineering or whoever to rebuild it.
