Watts on Court

[Lotus17racer]

Great characterful and humorous Youtube blog about a guy who started to trade cars after divorce. There are a number of second hand car trader type youtube channels but this is a significant cut above the rest (in my opinion). Worth watching from the first episode to get into it!

Current episode has a glimpse of Michelle too ! I thought she didn't actually exist

It's become an eagerly awaited Sunday treat in this household, we think it's great.
Apart from some occasional sound issues he does seem to have a way with the camera and it must take a lot of work filming and pulling it all together.

It's hilarious at times too!

Another one here who really enjoys it. Cracking sense of humour and i'd happily buy a car off him.

Hope he does well at the upcoming show, he's certainly put the effort in!

Just started watching this. Really interesting, seems a really personable guy. I'd like to do something similar myself to be fair, maybe without the filming myself bit! I'm interested to see how he gets on and if he makes enough money to make a living out of it.

Started watching from day 1, quite look forward to the Sunday upload

I like the fella's approach but do find his complete lack of knowledge around the cars he buys a struggle.

Watched him from the start - he clearly has a fairly well funded plan and ambition but it all seems a bit sketchy with the cars he buys - the various platforms he uses to analyse the margins are often his one and only selection tool.

Perhaps he has made it look a bit too easy. What he has done is remind me to always buy private - I do hate handing over an extra £3k to some bloke just for the priviledge of buying from them.

Be serious. Most dealers know diddly squat about the cars they sell.

I would say that’s probably true of a main dealer excluding specialists

[Winston Wolf]

My long standing expereince is main dealers know their expertise and stick close to it, specialist are equally focussed. The rest less so I accept.

Mr Watt seems to have career switched from furniture to cars with little in terms of mechanical or product knowledge. He comes across as a decent bloke but I would like to buy a car from someone who was equally straight but better informed.

This week we will see how he got on at the Devon Show (IIRC) - as I said he does not lack ambition and that part of the country is very appealing to watch and indeed earn a living within.
