I doubt it was his money either  :laugh:

I was thinking similar, Fred. I do wonder how objective the Wizard is in some of his recent reviews because there does seem to be a creeping level of product placement and also a reluctance to criticise certain suppliers, especially those that are selling or lending him something. Or, am I just being too grumpy and cynical?  :wink:

No I think like a lot of people he's now thinking of YouTube as less of a fun hobby and more of a money spinner.

When you see just how much it is possible to make I guess we'd all do the same - its a big business.

Balls, I missed a trick there with the amount of cars I burned through in the last few years!  :grin:

There's a guy I watch on YouTube who has five million subscribers. He's a qualified doctor but spends his time making two YouTube videos a week doing stupid stuff... He doesn't need his medical income any more..

Hats off to those who can make a good living out of it doing something they love  :cool:

I don’t really do the YouTube thing much but I’d imagine I was in a minority of one these days so advertising revenues must be huge.

Just to close this thread out, I ended up buying a set of 19” Brescias from VW Tunbridge Wells. Wheels came with Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres. All for £1700 fitted which I thought was reasonable. Work was done yesterday and car looks 10x better IMO.

Thanks for all contributions to the thread  :smiley:

Cheers, very happy with the results. Price seemed good as the Imola, Estorils and Pretoria’s all seem to be £3k+ for wheels only. Should probably get 50-60% back come sale time in 2 years when lease is up. At least I dont go out to the car feeling disappointed in its appearance anymore !
