That JWW dig though, meow
Absolute cringeworthy. The chap really needs to grow up.
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?

I wonder if Shmee would finance the black series GTR especially with his plans for a complete respray.

to be honest i have lost a lot of interest for a lot of youtubers. I used to watch Hoovies, Doug Demouro, STG, Shmee and Joe Achilies but i have not really been that interested i just dip in and out if the subject matter is of interest.

Definitely. If I'm interested in a channel which I come back to regularly it's normally because the person fronting it is watchable/likeable/genuine/credible/whatever. If my view on that person changes based on something they say or do then yes, I'd be less inclined to watch them. As was the case with that channel.

That wasnt my question, you said that your opinion is based upon comments on here.

Surely watching the said content creates your opinion rather than what people on a forum say.

No, not what other people say - what the actual youtuber in question said has changed my opinion about him.

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 smile
It doesn't matter how good the editing is though if the content is poor, the M2 will just be the same as his other cars, I posted about the GTR the other week,

I see SOL has a Nissan GTR to drive, not sure if he actually owns it though, incoming videos including;
new exhaust,
wrap,
spoiler,
wheels,
cheap tacky carbon fake fiber bits thrown onto the car,
ten reasons why I love the GTR,
ten reasons why I hate the GTR,
selling the GTR (returning the GTR),
searching for the GTR replacement,
why I sold (returned the GTR).
It is just the same over and over again, if he actually kept the car and did something with it like driving it but it doesn't happen, I would rather watch Tim/Shmee driving his cars all over Europe or Tom/TGE doing a video in a different car he owns each video even just driving around Youtube square providing updates on the car and his other cars and his plans.

I know Paul doesn't have the finances as some of the others and has to do his best and he is a far better Youtuber than I could be, but is just doing the same thing over and over and over really sustainable?

Paul is probably a nice guy but I stopped watching because the content was the same over and over again, I stopped watching Archie Hamilton as well because of the same reason.

I am sure that the can could be yellow from factory I cannot believe that any company that is charging £300k+ for a car and there is no option to have it whatever colour you want.

I gave up on Doug Demouro ages ago he's probably the worst automotive Youtubers there is imo.

I never thought the likes of DMO would have much in common with the old lady who ran the corner shop; I was wrong.

I started watching their stuff last week and have been going back through older content that they have done. I'm liking it so far.

They're certainly pumping out the videos and spending some money doing it, but there's a bit too much chat for my taste. Did they mention that S15 was £20k?! It looks to have had a hard life.
