skoda_fan Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Don't know if we've heard about this lady on here yet.....if this is old hat ignore me but I've just stumbled across her. Like a female Hubnut! She tends to ramble on a bit but there's no doubting her enthusiasm and very watchable. Link below is a sample but there are loads....

I quite like her to be honest - her videos don’t seem to be staged and polished like a few of them out there. strangeangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Being honest, she's not my cup of tea. I also didn't like the business cards that were left on cars at FotU offering people the chance to have their car 'reviewed'. But. I love anyone who has an unbridled enthusiasm for their hobby. Whether it's model railway, lightbulbs, forgotten board games of the 60 and 70s - whatever. She enjoys what she's doing, she's got some great numbers on social media - so who the fuck am I to criticise? Anyone who can make a living out of something they enjoy has discovered the same secret code as I have. Good on her. chaseracer and brownnova 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsinthewelder Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Oh calm down, you know fine well we all have behave like we're visiting a primary school now. I've been meaning to watch one of Steph's videos since meeting her at FotU. She's really nice in person but I wasn't a huge fan of the video. The subject matter was interesting but she seemed to spend a lot of time talking about the bleeding obvious without teaching me anything new. A bit like watching TV really. loserone and Ghosty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we just have to avoid behaving like a rough 13 year old trying to impress his mates. Be that remarking about "slipping her his length" or pointless bullying over other people's tastes.

loserone Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Have to agree, the IDRIVEACLASSIC video seemed to be a lot of words without saying anything. Not that I'm any better, I'm not. I've not tried the Ruby 7 one yet, quite looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticvandan Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 They are all awful to be honest,hub nuts pc and predictable,or as he would say ten times every video "remarkable",the woman states the obvious,the other guy goes on about how old fashioned an 80 year old car is,well duh. Always a problem when people are trying to earn a living out of something. Coldwarmotors is my go to guy on the tube.

egg Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 My tuppence. I prefer car review Youtubers who have a journalistic background. So Doug Demuro (Autotrader/Jalopnik) - if you are going to hate moderns you need to know why. Harry's Garage (Evo), Hubnut (various) because they have skill in story telling. Petrolblog too. This is what Top Gear lost when Clarkson and May left - they both annoy me - but they are also good at telling a car story (even if Clarkson is full of melodrama) in the way Freddie Flintoff, bless him, isn't. I suspect why Ian has high 'viewer engagement' is because his videos also have the engineering element (which is what Wobbler actually seems to watch himself). I don't watch the pure engineering channels, because I'm rubbish at it ;-). I think story telling is the thing - because the last 18 months loads of diecast restoration channels have popped up - Marty's matchbox has grown massively and has high engagement - why? I think, because he adds (daft) stories to his practical vids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idriveaclassic Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hey guys! Thanks to the OP for the shout out, you’re brill. Also thanks for all the constructive criticism on here. I’ve only being doing this since April so I definitely know there’s room for improvement, so bear with as I hopefully get better in time ?? I’m not out to ‘make a living’ off it in the slightest, far from it, just gave me a focus when my life was a bit bonkers and I wanted to give myself a bit of a distraction. Turns out the response hasn’t been too shabby! As you’ve probably guessed, I’m not a tech car person by trade or design, I’m actually a Hair Brand Manager who just just loves old cars and wanted to make some content. Referencing the weird comment which got deleted, it’s not the worst I’ve read and I actually want to say a huge thank you to everyone here for commenting on my content and not the fact I’m fat/female/not a man. I appreciate that more than anything! Also, sorry if the cards offended anyone. Wasn’t my intention at all and after spotting people flyering I thought I’d do a little hustle. Clearly the marketeer inside me is switched on 24/7 eh?! Anyway, for those of you who enjoyed the video or it was decent enough background noise whilst you did some washing up, please feel free to stick with me. I appreciate every and any ounce of support! Right, it’s back to work for me. Cheers for an interesting thread! All the best Steph x ps. I can confirm I live in West Yorkshire.

I only wear vintage (which is sadly a lot more expensive than when you could get a decent dress down Huddersfield market for a fiver...) so all my dresses are verging on fancy dress 24/7 Most of them are towelling or crimplene which means I'm 100% fire hazard when combined with all the hairspray I use. 19 hours ago, Bren said: I concur.

skoda_fan Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Aw I'm glad you are on here and approve. Don't know why, but I did start to worry a bit after starting this thread that maybe I shouldn't have. Anyway keep them coming....yourself, Mr Hubnut, and Mr Furious Driving are all far more entertaining than the dross that's on the box of an evening. I even enjoyed the tour of that lady's house that's stuck in a deliberate timewarp. Uncle Jimmy, egg, Idriveaclassic and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
