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

I am more disappointed then anything, saying he is thinking or letting the Pista go when it has already gone.

I feel let down by Tom just as he was turning everything around and his content was getting better.

You okay hun?

Jesus Christ, heard it all now...disappointed and let down by a bloke on YouTube selling his car without telling you, how dare he do that

It’s actually embarrassing.

I’m really surprised how emotionally invested people get into some of these guys, find it all a bit odd to be honest!

I'm still fuming hubnut swooped his knackered vectra for a less knackered rover without even warning his loyal viewers.

I mean for fks sake its not even a Citroen ??

Good explanation from TGE. Got made an offer and took it. Probably the best.

Must be annoying for him getting sent screenshots of places, I can’t see why he’s got a particular bee in his bonnet about this place though, last 2 pages haven’t really been harsh on him for selling the Pista have they??

I agree, and he has given a good explanation, which is what I think his audience wanted.

As he says in the video he doesn't want it banded about online what he's doing by other people, which is what I have been saying it should be him saying what's happened.

Also in the video he has a pop at JamesWW and his TDF the beef is strong still!

TGE content works for some (ie <20 year old wide boys who think they can be a millionaire buying and selling trainers) - but the constant JWW war thing is actually embarrassing. Id imagine JWW has amassed some followers off the back of the bhing which is ironic in itself! Who cares who pays for any of it all. TGE is debt up to his eyeballs which he pays for via his views, JWW has family money and rich friends and supplements that income for it via his views, who cares!

Got upset about a guy online selling his car he owned without telling you every move, think you need to focus your energy on something constructive.

Then the guy online gets upset and posts a video on YouTube about it all.

The world is a weird old place eh!

I am currently filming content which is not likely to be released until next year. That's a touch extreme compared to most other YTers but gives you an idea of the disconnect between real time and the YouTube "storyline"

Thanks for running it by us first to avoid upset. You may proceed.

I just watched Sam/STG and apparently Ferrari have stopped making the Lusso and he said it could be a future classic.

Good car the V12 Lusso imo.

They've ended Lusso production in preparation for their SUV.

Wow, all the way to Malaysia to find someone visually impaired enough to buy it. Not bad.

Yeah I get that, it’s the same kind of people who’ll be saying things are chaos, rich or whatever phrase they use (disclaimer, I’m 25) whereas JWW can appeal to a more disconcerting viewer. Harry’s Garage is my thing though

What are you on about?

He has said one thing and done another that is the point I am making, just when he was becoming trustworthy this happens.

If you were a player in the Youtuber community wouldn't you want to be the one to tell your viewers about something instead of a rando on-line?

It's all pre-recorded weeks in advance, no doubt they had to do this with Corona making changes to their schedule and chances to go out to film may be reduced, so they'd sit on stuff and release it when appropriate. The IKEA Pista was a nice addition to the garage, but don't get too attached to anything with a 6 month shelf-life at best. They have to churn to showcase what's in the garage, what's coming, what's left, the usual format. I wouldn't feel 'let down'

SOL did a decent video for new wrap and exhaust for the M2 Comp, and his Nissan is a nice addition to his garage. His editing is getting better

There were two Ikea Pistas, the other a spider. No doubt spec’d by the same person.

And the spyder might retail form 50k to 100k more.

[Chr1sch]

I was pleasantly surprised with SOL's most recent video's - production was improved, albeit i don't think he could have mentioned Pilotti any more if he tried. (although I'm mentioning it here so it clearly worked lol)

I've actually stopped watching Shmee of late, Mercedes don't do it for me at the best of times, and the incessant content around merc's has got really boring. The GT's, in particular, seem to be never-ending. Shame as i loved the variety and quality of his content generally.

I have become bizarrely addicted to AdamLZ's content, probably as I'm a sucker for that RB exhaust note..

Same here. Although I am a Mercedes fan, I'm really not *that* interested in every iteration of the GT; it just seems a never ending promotion. Plus the flounce from here really put me off his channel.

Yes, the digging is a little childish, but the sentiment is true - JWW's official line is that he's keeping it because he's changed his mind, when reality is it was up for sale for a good while and nobody wanted it at the price he was prepared to let it go (i.e. he would have had to take a huge bath on it). Not sure why JWW has an issue with just telling the truth?
