The Jayemm 430 Scud

[240Cup]

Looks lovely - I didn't see it advertised nor at Dick Lovett when I was up there recently.

Strange they have retailed it with headlight issues though or maybe I have got the wrong end of the stick from the vid.

Considering the one Jayemm video I had the misfortune to watch, that's probably the case - I expect you fell asleep part way through.

Yep agree, some of his vids I have watched are sleep inducing...so only watch the ones where the car being reviewed is something I have owned or on my bucket list. He clearly is doing very well out of this Youtube gig though, having 2 Ferrari's on his driveaway (one being a Scud!) along with a Maserati.

it looks lovely and fair play to the bloke for building up his channel (i presume) so that his income can support the costs of ownership.

his videos are well filmed in comparison to some others though, i just am not sure what qualifies him to tell me what is the best/worst/why i should or shouldn't buy a particular marque. what's his knowledge/experience has he extensive experience of driving cars on track etc.

i like his choice of the wheel colour on the scuderia though, just needs a calliper colour change.

I think he said he was depositing £50k and paying £800 a month for a car which costs, what £180k. Do the maths, assume 6% APR and he’ll either have a large balloon payment or barely be able to walk away with his deposit intact. I daresay he can offset the costs against tax.

Personally, I don’t like his videos, verbal diarrhoea doesn’t begin to describe it. Compare them with the excellent videos Henry Catchpole has been putting out on Carfection.

I think he is great

[Gibbo205]

I think his videos are good, sometimes he has differing opinions but were all unique. He has certainly worked hard and hard work pays off as he is now demonstrating.

[Taffy66]

I don't get the constant barrage of abuse directed at some innocent UTubers just trying to get on in life. If you don't like don't watch .

[Doofus]

I'd have been happier if he'd spent slightly less on the new car, and used the savings to buy himself a new coat.

[Fezzamania]

The gold wheels look so wrong with the silver/grey stripe.
Much like his awful dress sense

I am guessing the residuals on something like a Scud are pretty stable if not gently appreciating so that must count for something. If things get a bit difficult he can always knock out a couple more videos bashing McLaren which will no doubt go viral and bring in the pennies

Well at least he's putting his money where his mouth is. I saw his Scud when i picked up my 812, In fact you can see mine in his video when comparing the three Ferraris.

Give the guy a chance,how can you form a opinion on his vidoes after only watching one and then almost falling asleep,

Must admit i wasn't inpressed with his early stuff but he's grown on me having always a varied sometimes off beat selection of cars.

He's not the usual posh boy shouty shouty in your face You Tuber and seems to give a honest opinion regardless whether it's a

top manufacturer or privately owned car, He road tests a eclectic mix of cars not just the latest and greatest from likes of

McLaren, Ferrari and Porsche but also high end kit cars such as GT40's,C Types,D Types and Cobra's

another week he's in American Muscle cars along with new and the old Ferrari's, Porsche's and Aston's with a few interesting but more

mundane cars, I don't know any other You Tuber that does that most relying on manufacturers to supply the cars.

Yes he has a terrible taste in shirts but some how he's turned that around and made it his trade mark.

I would now put him up there with the likes of "Harry's Garage" and "Iian Tyrrell Classic Workshop".

Yes maybe a bit "Dads Army" for you younger guys but getting a bit fed up with the norm of ," delivery of new super car, fit after market

exhaust ,wrap, sell car ,delivery of new super car," bla bla, If your tunnel vision only consists of the latest super cars then he's probably

not for you , me i think he's a refreshing change from the more predictable You Tubers .

Hope he enjoys his Scuderia and the best of luck to him.

Very good post rat rod which i hope some on here take on board. He makes a nice refreshing change from JWW, Shmee etc etc by being very down to earth and giving his viewers 100% genuine opinion on all cars he tests rather than pander to car makers. Doesn't seem to care about being the most popular UTuber but more about being genuine and honest.

Completely agree, why say one word when you can say 20?

[CoolHands]

I don’t mind him. He does older models like porsche boxsters etc so it’s fairly good for mere mortals who can’t afford supercars.

Catchpole is brillient , very relaxed and never looks like he's trying to hard but none of them can drive the wheels off a car like

Chris Harris ,Tiff comes close though ,

[Fezzamania]

I dont think he does himself any favours by jumping on the McLaren bashing bandwagon and click bait titles.
I get why he does it because it gets views but its far from honest reviews and more sensationalism.

Cant believe a small channel with 150k subscribers buys you 2 ferraris.
What is the world coming to ???

Not to mention his Maserati Quattroporte , modified Honda 200 convertible and Celica GT4 Turbo,

Probably subsidised from the kickbacks he gets from the shirt manufacturers .

[blueg33]

I tend to only watch 3 car youtubers,

Henry Catchpole. Always liked his style since he did a piece on driving a boxster on Mallorca. Great cinematography and relaxed style.

Harry’s Garage. Interesting cars, slightly elitist but fair reviews and tested on roads I know.

Jayemm. Good eclectic mix and a balanced view of the cars generally. Alarmingly crap title music and scary shirts, but covers more cars in my price range than anyone else.

I used to watch Sam - seen through glass, mainly because he has s Ferrari 360. But he is too excitable.
