Finding new Ford spare parts support is totally abysmal they use to be best in the business many decades ago, they just want to sell you a new car, and best of luck it's not something simple you can't buy at a motor factors, anything else been on one six month list for a new bed liner, and 9 months wait list for electric wing mirror some idiot done a hit & run excuse has Taiwan computer chips in it, there are thousands used in your vehicle. Ford end result sorry mate you can have your money back, parts nil stock can't get hold of it, as your model went out of production 2 years ago. 2 years Ford leave up the creek without a paddle don't want to know you. Fitted 2nd hand bed liner & manual wing mirrors sold it, never touch a new Ford ever again with a bargepole.

This was always the difference between operator-led companies and investor-led companies.

What you probably will find is anyone on the YT platform doesn’t even own their content or YT identity. Hence you have very little power. It’s just a platform with a legal model similar to the relationship between government and your birth certificate . Your signed registration means you agree to the terms and conditions of the YT contract. That applies to the government and Vatican where our mothers and fathers were misled to sign our birth certificates. And why were all legally bound for taxes and the national debt amongst many other things inflicted on us by governments and the World Extortion Forum. No different in that most are under the illusion it’s your money in your bank account, nope it’s not !!!! I suggest you get or look at Peter Stones content to get a better grasp of the bigger picture, especially the DVLA and it’s legal status . Knowledge is everything , reality is sometimes not what we either perceive or think 😉🇬🇧

YT commercials are trash; some hawk obvious trash, some are basically scams, some have things that YT content creators get punished for, some are unskipable and absurdly long. Broadcast tv content sucks *BUT* at least the commercials on it have regulations and HIGH PRODUCTION VALUES (unlike the content). If I were a content creator I would be VERY unhappy with YT 😖

I been reading car mags since I was teenager. I still would rather read a mag than look at the same thing on a screen of a phone or laptop/tablet. Probably learn more about cars/vehicles from reading mags than any other source. I do take the point about magazine titles disappearing. One mag I been reading for 36yrs finished last year .

I think often people such as yourself forget that you have resources available for free that you can tap, but are not always bright and sparkly. I have suggested to you in the past to Try out some of the unusual vehicles that are available on the market, you don't need to buy to try. Some if these places are happy someone wants to test drive their stuff. So you could include test drives of the lesser travelled paths or just try out discussing with a sales team what is the best cars from their batch. Perhaps even get someone else involved who rides motorcycles and do a feature. It's all road transport. Do a thing on reliability of your own car and how much it cost to keep it reliable. Take a look at parking issues in the UK or just London. Take a look at why a council has started to charge motorcycle to park when it used to be free. Where does all the money go? Perhaps put out feelers to discover where all the money goes from all these charges and why things are getting worse while they get more and more money. What has Khan done about the issue of the tubes pollution levels if anything. Look at when your chanel was on a high and maybe expand on those topics. Just a few suggestions, walking and talking is fine, but pretty niche, unless you capture a few crazy crashes along the way.😢.

Since you mentioned the fact Lotus and Volvo have faired well with Geely ownership. a significant amount of Volvo's profitably comes from truck sales. I don't have any idea how many of the Lorries you have over there are Volvo, but here in the states it is substantial. Geely has less than a 7% stake in the truck and bus division but an 82% stake in Volvo passenger cars.

Very honest video. So do the likes of Shmee and Armstrong gone from doing vids like you to being taken over by something larger for the bucks?

Interesting insight ..... Could it be that stakeholder capitalism is the main driver of BS flavoured content ( not necessarily but a persistent force never the less ? ) devoid of novelty ? mind you I guess this is subjective! perhaps there is never anything new under the sun? ..... or is there? My philosophical thought for the day!
