Many on here may not understand the title, but I refer to a YouTube contributor. He is an English guy who is in the very very fortunate position to be able to own a considerable number of some of the newest supercars on sale - his latest acquisition is a Ferrari 296. He has his own storage facility to house them - called the Schmuseum, and some staff to manage it all.
Now for those who maybe familiar with his videos, they are not surprisingly about his cars and his journeys in them, all if which is absolutely great, and its his channel so it's upto him how he chooses to present it, but I do at times feel he comes across as a tad boastful. For example in his last video, when talking about his Mercedes AMG GT Black series, which he had repainted in a one off colour, which according to a detailer may have cost £30,000 to carry out, he seemed very keen to mention that a carbon fibre bonnet vent could cost around £10k if it needed to be replaced. It always seems to be 'look at me, look at how well I'm doing!'.
Now this could all sound like bitterness and jealousy on my behalf, but I watch many YouTube channels that shoe great wealth and success, and I don't come away with the same impression.
The character I'm talking about could be a really nice and genuine guy, and I'm speaking completely out of turn, and I apologise in advance as I wouldn't want to cause any offence, but as a forum of honest speakers I was wondering if anyone else watches his videos and possibly agrees. I don't tend to watch too much of his output, but I do tend to come away feeling this way when I do.
After all this maybe nobody on here knows of his channel, but in case anybody does I would be interested in other views, or maybe I am just an old bitter and twisted jealous git!
