I've mentioned her channel a while ago, she gets access to some serious kit.

Don't think we had an ECOTY thread this year? Their video has gone up now - a good watch as usual.

Is there any YouTuber who doesn't feel they need to interview Shmee? Jonny Smith now Jodie Kidd... It's not as if he's not told his story already on his own channel and others and it's not like he's got this long interesting history in the industry.

And relax.
Cheers,

Mike.

Just a bit of a promotional tool isn’t it, a bit of cross pollination of viewers.

I guess they think featuring him will help bring a new audience across without annoying too many existing ones who can’t stand him.

Otherwise known as chasing clout - and it's absolutely a successful strategy, unfortunately :lol:

Sounds like a good name for a channel where motor bods from around the world interview each other.

Mat Armstrong is doing damn well financially out of the repair to his M5 competition. Seems to be the exact opposite of the repair to his Lambo :lol:

The cast aluminium strut tower and other parts only cost him £300 :shock:

Been watching Todd's content from the start. He's a nice guy and we have regular chats.

If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

Agreed. I was worried after the last video, but it's good to see he's doing it all properly and has invested in the right tools to make sure it's all straight.

Agreed it was really good, and it sounds like he got some great advice either from YT viewers or from BMW themselves, it was a really impressive job.

He keeps saying he’s no mechanic but does some pretty impressive stuff!

His dad's a mechanic and he's got himself some impressive facilities. He's obviously teaching himself as he goes, but I reckon he does a ton of research behind the scenes. Syntner Leicester have given him a promo code so I reckon they've been helping him behind the scenes too.

Which is backed up by his channels tag line. HWBT. (Hard work beats talent).
