Could be worth a follow for those on Instagram, for those who are still interested in cars. Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel's new venture.

Seeing this late, but it looks like a really nice idea. I hope they somehow make enough money to keep it going!

Do they put vids up or is it just photos? Do I need an account? The O/H is vlogging constantly but I don't know if I can be bothering with another social media account.

They've said that they're planning on putting up vids soon.

Henry Catchpole and Jonny Smith are also contributors 👍

Am I missing something? It’s like car reviews for dummies with very short attention spans! A few sentences, some pictures and ending with the basic stats... Is that all?

I know Kylie Jenner has made a fortune from an Instagram springboard but how will this make money?

I think it’s been shown many times that actual car review type ventures just don’t work on social media in terms of getting a load of followers unless you have a popular vlogging channel.

So does this count as a vlogging channel?

So perfect for the internet audience then.

I initially didn't get it from a quick look, too simple and not enough info. But I said the same about Instagram not taking off because it didn't have the features of Flickr and Photobucket et al. Turns out people don't want complexity.

I’m with Mito; I find it lacking it information, although I do like the daily format.

I imagine the daily thing will have to go though, as i don’t think there’s enough vehicle launches to sustain it.
