Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo Targa - with right Steer * ))

The car vlogger thing is puzzling to me too, mainly because I feel it's very much a free for all and young naive viewers who worship them aren't aware how much they're being 'exploited' to a sense, the amount of product placement in a lot of the videos is insane. Shmee constantly discusses the name of his car wash, the name of the place that wrapped his cars etc, a lot of the viewers won't realise he's getting a ridiculous discount if not freebies for doing so. Which then leads me onto the issue of 'this car is just as much yours as it is mine!!!!' or 'i'm not happy with some of the comments for x or y reason rah rah rah rah rah', it's an entirely selfish 'industry' and they're benefiting from it and they never really ever get around to discussing just how much their viewers/subscribers/insta followers etc benefit them. Another issue I have with the vloggers is that they really don't know much about what they pretend to be discussing, that person you referred to as Miley, Seb, only ever reads off of a piece of paper or is quite frank about how much he doesn't know. Similar to the SeeingThroughGlass guy Tim just posted above, he's also quite brunt about how little car knowledge he actually has when that's kind of his 'job' to an extent? If you watch the first 10 seconds of that 'Monaco part 2' video you just posted you'll notice them discussing someone who has JUST STARTED A CHANNEL. A few months ago the guy Tim posted, MrJWW was introduced as someone who had JUST STARTED A CHANNEL, they're all people that through some weird link end up back to Shmee or someone haha. Our very own Penfold has been referenced in a fair few of that groups videos interestingly enough :nods: He's a successful photographer primarily though, so that's different. Some of the guys are decent, that SeeingThroughGlass guy can be quite charismatic and is fairly enjoyable to watch, whereas I find the SupercarsOfLondon guy can be a bit obnoxious, when revealing his new GT-S he seemed to overestimate just how much people care about his new car, as if we were all gaining from his new purchase as much as he was, and that we should be emotional about it too... Shmee's channel on the whole is quite interesting to follow, due to his popularity and success he's a bit more refined in what he does and although the self-interest and occasional big-headedness can show, he does talk about what people want to know when they watch a car video and he has access to some decent events worth watching etc. At the end of the day my real frustration comes down to some of the channels having some good content and some of the people being enjoyable to watch, but it's just impossible to filter out the less desirable and more annoying vloggers as they all mix so frequently haha. I suppose if we don't like, we shouldn't watch, but it doesn't stop us having an opinion on them I guess. Vloggers like Salomondrin and Shmee are kind of worth subscribing for as their passion kind of overshadows any personal gain they're getting from the vlogs, they're genuinely interested in what they discuss etc.

What more Cars will be in The patch? For now is: M4 650s 300zx what more?

Scott and a few others were discussing the 190 the other day, here's a video worth watching:

Nissan 300ZX :p one of my favorites of all time !

The BBC has just announced a spin off from TopGear called ExtraGear, which will be 30 mins of exclusive footage, interviews, behind the scenes etc hosted by the Topgear Presenter Rory Reid (not yet seen any of his work so can't judge that appointment). It will be broadcast on BBC 3, meaning the iplayer as that channel is no longer on TV. ‘Extra Gear’ is Top Gear’s new, behind-the-scenes show | Top Gear PS: I've changed the thread title to BBC TopGear so that we can distinguish it from the Amazon as-yet unnamed TopGear. CBA posting about all the latest tabloid drama with chris evans.

*infrequently, FFS :mad: --- Post Updated --- DISCLAIMER: No TL;DR for you. Not sure what's the point of this post - just want to get this off my pale chest. I'm on 2 red bulls rn Here's what's wrong with the modern world in one video created by Miss Emma Walsh and featuring the new BMW M2. Some dude on the M2 forums created a thread about it, named "Hottie driving an M2" or sth like that. I was like, wtf is this again. Even though I HATE these kinda vloggers bloggers tubers, I put my tinfoil hat on and clicked on her video. Here's what you can find in this not-even-a-10-blonde's video: 0. HEADLINE WITH CAPITAL LETTERS AND EXCLAMATION MARKS!! 1. info about how her day(s) went (doing totally nothing, but that's none of my business) 2. the very ubiquitous and popular hyperbole ("the most insane convoy you ever seen") 3. segment in which she is in a kid's electric shopping trolley without saying basically nothing 4. segment with the main star, the M2, which she "FINALLY GOT TO DRIVE AFTER WAITING FOR DAYS." I have learned from her that it's kinda quiet inside, but quite loud outside; that "it just wants to go"; that it's awesome; that she was in sport mode cuz she did not want drift (I don't believe she could perform such things, but maybe she can - sorry Emma) 5. then there was some racing drivah teaching here what a crest is and how to take the racing line in the mountains (bruh, you're not at the 'Schleife) 6. afterwards, there were some other 2 dudes in the backseat 7. finally, the end: GIMME THUMBS UP AND SUBSCRIBE At least her hands on the steering wheel were at 9-3 most of the time, I'll give her that. Now, here are the fun? facts. The M2 in the video is a press car that was lent by BMW AG to a guy on the BMW forums. That guy had ordered his M2 months before the actual production & sale start. He was whining like a little B when his dealer told him he cannot get the car BEFORE the sale start as he requested. It turns out he lives in Prague and is Shmee150's manager. How can he be his manager if he is thousands of kilometers away, that I do not get. Not sure if he's Czech; prolly not since his last car had Dutch plates, and his English is way too good for a Czech person. Heh. But, that's none of my business. Anyway, he's eventually managed to obtain the press car directly from BMW AG in München because, and I quote, of his "special position as a manager in the world of social media." Also told us we're gonna see the car on "various platforms" which in the end meant shmee150's friends got to trash it around Monaco. holy crap how can a sane person watch those people... 10 - 15 minutes of effing nothing!!! Misinformation, clickbait, bad editing, attention seeking, and awful tuning taste HOW CAN I AFFORD A GALLARDO AT 23?! DRITING THE JAG WITH THIS BIG BOOTY GIRL HOLY HELL I MODDED MY AUDI!!!! And who the hell is this European Bieber / male Cyrus? :eek2: There are so many ways to get automotive content on the Internet as seen in this thread. No, they want to watch some kind of "YouTube personalities" as some of them like to call themselves. I've got a "friend" who's a moderator of the BMW forum & an European contributor. He's done a few press events, too. He told me yesterday that it is very hard to get a press car from BMW... and yet they kindly give em away when some uneducated youtubah with an awful posh accent comes in. :oook:

Oh come on. No MG but there's a Beetle in here. A Beetle. :lol:
