Toaster - out of interest what's the youtube revenue been like? Up there with the Shmee150's of the world or enough to buy you a box of tea bags?

Obviously tell me to stop being so nosey if you don't want to say!
There’s no revenue at all - you can’t monetise a channel until you have over 1000 subscribers (and even then, you’ll be in the Tesco Value tea bag territory!)

Takes a long, long time to make any money, unless you’re really good at getting the numbers up. It’s definitely not my motivation at the moment!

Some kind of 3 cylinder Corsa? Assuming that counts as "German" of course.

Security - protective monitoring mostly. About to feel the full force of the IR35 shambles since my current gig ends on 31st March just in time for nobody to be recruiting! smile.

Ah yes, been following that closely - I work as a consultant but within ERP software but employed. Hope you manage to find something else in the midst of the IR35 mess.

if it helps I work in software delivery & every IT contractor I know their contract is up in March too so there's going to be a stupid amount of people looking for new contractors across the UK. Sorry to derail from car chat laugh

Speaking of costs, I’ve just examined all of the history that came with it and made a video looking over what it’s cost to run for a quarter of a million miles.

Had over £2000 spent on it last year alone! Rear suspension arms and some other bits.
I’ve just watched the video of the costs over the life of the car. I’ll never consider anything of mine as expensive to run in the future.

Some of the bills that car has had have been astonishing!

Also. Ref the Rover 75 bills.

Four new Tyres pretty much every year, Is that pretty common? I wouldn’t have considered the 75 tourer to be hard in tyres. Especially not eating all four every year!!!!!!

I think there were some unfortunate punctures thrown into the mix but yes, it did get through a lot of tyres!

I’ve had some feedback from the previous owner I’ll need to summarise shortly.

Can't go wrong with a Smart car smile .

Youtube isn't a place that you can make a little money. You either make a lot, or make nothing.
