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

Genuinely fascinating for me to experience a 6:24 racecar BTG lap after the 6:55 in the GT2 RS MR; such different drives.

I echo comments about really good content lately and am loving the Nürburgring stuff. My other half even watches it with me and comments how in a million years I'd never get her in a car going that fast I'm also now watching and subscribing to Robert at Apex who really seems to know his stuff - a great collaboration and hopefully good for both of your channels.

Anyone know what’s happened to Dannydc2? All his videos have been removed and his Instagram has gone??

WHAT! Have been really enjoying his content lately and was really looking forward to content on MR2 racing.

Worrying that he has deleted everything, must be something pretty big to make that call.

Just hope it wasn't some internet d*ckhead doing/saying something that ruins it for all.

Hope all is ok if you see this dude.

Eh? I was only watching him (badly LOL) polish his headlights (ooherr missus) the other day... WTF... come back Danny!

Be a shame if he's gone. I always enjoyed his videos and total lack of ego. I'd been looking forward to seeing how he got on racing the MR2 but maybe he opted to kill the channel and concentrate his efforts?

Wonder if he's been pulled by the police so deleted all his history ?

It is a shame because much like hubnut he's producing videos of content he wants to produce not chasing trends , also you can just watch him tinkering with his cars without being interested in getting oily on your own cars.

Agreed with Robert at Apex. Not only does he know his stuff, he seems like a nice chap. Even when he talks about McLaren, it does not come across as having a dig, just fact. I have enjoyed the AMG videos with Tim. And good on Tim for letting him into the driving seat.

In one of the above vids he briefly discussed the cost of car ownership and YouTubers. And he hit the nail on the head. And now I do look at Tim as a petrol head and not just as having a lifestyle/boast channel.He just has to cater for his audience. He uses his cars. And uses them as intended.

I also like Robert’s distain for ‘influencers’.

Tim/ Robert - Apex / the ring is a winning combo in my opinion. Content is great atm

Loved the Pista video

[aem999]

One of the best car reviews I have ever seen. Watch a man's car dreams get brutally crushed by his wife.

Agreed, have discovered Robert Mitchell through Tim's channel and both content of Shmee and Robert of the Nurburgring (I have even dabbled on a few of Misha's videos!) has made me look at ferry / eurotunnel prices and start planning a trip!

Really enjoyed Dan's content, much prefer it to the posher youtubers, I liked seeing him tinker with his cars.

Was really looking forward to seeing how he gets on racing his Mr2, I think he will do rather well.

Very strange. Hope he is ok!

Yeah I really hope he’s ok

He’s genuinely one of my favourite YouTubers. Really looked forward to his videos during these past few months.

Brilliant, every man has been in the same position, its like playing chess with pigeons...

The channel description says "brb" so hopefully he's just reorganising stuff.... he's been asking for a lot of channel feedback lately and from what I saw it was quite overwhelmingly "we love it, keep doing stuff you enjoy doing and try not to get stressed out chasing trends/statistics etc" so really hoping he's not binning it all off - his content lately has been excellent.

[JSC86]

Any one follow the boqer123 channel? I use to follow for the bmx content but quite a heavy switch to cars now

[BerlinChris]

I noticed Dannys channel has 'Brb' written as the description. 'Be right back' is what im assuming it means- i really hope he does come back soon, really enjoy the cars he uses, mostly because theyre all affordable if i want to do the same!

[jon-]

It's not unusual for youtubers to feel the need to break from social. As everyone has said, he's one of the few that seemed to be nearly universally loved, which is a privilege on youtube and pistonheads, I'm sure he'll be back when he's ready

[Chr1sch]

I really hope Danny is OK, he has said before that he has struggled/found the pressures of constantly producing content and the never-ending critique of YouTube overwhelming (or words along those lines). I for one love his genuine delivery style, but ultimately its health before Youtube. Hopefully he is simply taking some time out.

[ro250]

Watched an hour long episode of Vice Grip Garage last night. Probably the longest video I've ever watched on the platform. Really good, easy to watch content.

Yeah, I'm sure it's nothing sinister, he's probably just had enough for a bit.

Him - what do you think of the raised seating position

Her - i don't like it , i'm sitting on the floor

I wonder if it's all genuine though ?

There were bits where she was grinning at the camera like she was playing her role in the video .

She totally had him re what's the point of having a screen with netflix which you can only watched parked up.

Exactly this - I'll be at the Nurburgring for a few tourist laps on Tuesday prior to heading onto Croatia
