Please Ben, please don't give in and work with better help. I'm sure you've seen other YT'ers walk away due to all the hate they get. It's justified too, BH are not a company you want to be seen endorsing.
Let’s help him get a better sponsor. I’ll ring five companies if you will
@@Lukey-jy4ez just use car vertical like every other automotive channel
they're on loads of podcasts and YT channels these days, I say let Ben make his sponsorship money however he sees fit, he needs it with 4 vehicles in varying states of repair
@@Hali88 surely you wouldn't want a sponsorship that potentially puts viewers off? That's not a great business idea if, like you say, you've got 4 cars and a channel to fund...
@@heyhey3887 true but he needs the money to make material for said viewers too. I say become a member and chip in to the channel. Instead of abandoning paid sponsorship
I'd watch a series on large estates around the £2-3000 mark. Especially now, since the estate segment as a whole seems to be going extinct. Volvo V70 Vs. Merc E class Vs. Audi A6 Vs. BMW 5 series. Or maybe go cheaper still and revisit the cars from our youth, when estates were the norm. Ford Scorpio vs. Vauxhall Omega vs. Volvo 850 vs. Saab 9-5, anyone?
I really enjoy watching your videos so keep going as you are doing a great job! Your content is not really being done anywhere else on YT and it is refreshing to see you include your lovely family. Always tough I imagine when you start as it is with any business but you will succeed!
🙌😊
It confuses me why this channel doesn't have more subscribers.
Ah thanks man :)
Limited audience
Was saying this to Ben the other week!
@@k17sher limited to petrolhead parents but there are plenty of petrolheads who become parents every day and there may be parents who become petrolheads, though that's probably less common.
it's very dull, and the man talks like he's speaking to the uneducated or children or idiots.
I really hope more car parents can find your channel because it’s so relatable to lots of families. The best part is proving how seemingly impractical cars can be used as a family car. Through you and this channel I’m aspiring to get a 2+2 GT car because it’s proven with young kids it can work! Especially when I’ve got short legs 😂
Time for a Gen 1 Porsche Panamera, you know the one, the pregnant pineapple.
Then, why not consider the Sport Turismo? Technically, but not really, an estate... Considering the panamera was never really pretty, Why not score points by getting the estate?
@@arnold8002 That is the gen 2 and it's much more money, way out of the channel budget for now
Great to get a fleet update Ben. I was racking my brains to think what your 4th vehicle was. I had totally forgotten about your van. Looking forward to you getting a proper 'Dadcar.'
Aventine replacement idea, you mentioned a Volvo V70, I reckon getting the V70 R would be a true dad cars family backup car. Understated family car with a lot of performance and it’s overlooked due to being able to carry a fridge freezer, I mean, who doesn’t want that !
You're doing something most people wouldn't have the sacks for. Living a dream in a way, making many people wish they could do it too. The worst you could end up with is nice memories and a unique story to tell. But I think you'll end up better than that. Cheers!
🙌❤️
Time for a Jaguar XKR 😏

Time for a jaguar xfr
Good luck with the Avantime. Be great to see it make the NEC. I'll be there on the Saturday with a few mates so I'll try and get to your stand (though most of us are a bit grown up to enjoy your family activities!). Keep going with the channel I like the unique perspective you have on living with what most people see as totally unpractical cars.
Thanks man! I’ll get it there 💯 come say hi!
Great fleet update. More power to you and your family, Ben. Keep the faith, remember the channels secret sauce and here's to the future of Dadcars!
🙌😊
Ben I'm sure that it'll all come good when you least expect it. Keep the faith!
Thanks 😊
It's great to see your channel growing, well deserved 👍
Hi Ben. Hope you and family are doing good.
I loved the video. Can't wait to see the Scotland trip, that'll be cool to watch.
That Range Rover is just so cool.
Stay safe and take care.
Thanks Frank!!
Good luck with the future plan! Looks like you are living the dream 👌
😊🙌
Really love your videos. Thank you! All the best to you and your family 🙏😇
I think the Avantime is a car to do one video with, not a series. Those of us who are petrolhead dads already have something on the lines of it (albeit probably not as quirky). What we don't have so much are rorty coupes, convertibles etc with too much power and too little ground clearance that we have squished our kids into - that's what we need you to be doing for us!
Yeah it was never a main dadcar for me just a bit of fun but like I say, it’ll be going soon
Here’s the reason I started watching the Dadcars channel…….
A Renault Avantime!
No joke whatsoever.
It’s your car so I can’t & won’t cast judgement or comment on your decision to sell it.
Stay awesome Ben
All the best to you Ben. As a 'dadcar' myself I like to watch anything that is unique but somewhat sporty. Like the maserati, aston, jag, alfa romeo, that kinda stuff. Anything that is not stock standard family car and a bit sporty. S5 is cool too, BMW 6 series maybe? Something like a sporty sportback or coupe with 4-5 seats. But that's just my opinion ofcourse.
In terms of sponsors: Get a child seat manufacturer as a sponsor, makes so much sense!
When the X5 is sold and I buy my next Dadcar you won’t be disappointed :)
@@dadcars cant wait for the videos already!
It's really frustrating when people mess you around on eBay. Why put in a bid if you can't commit to it?
Nice fleet Ben . It s good way of thinking.
Avantime collector easy to sell
Vito replaced by the range to sell
BMW replaced by the Range to sell
Then time for a XK and savings on having 2 cars instead of 4 will assure an eventually issue on the Range.
Good job on the channel. Make more memories, it s more important than views. Cheers
Oh no, not a Betterhelp advert. By all accounts, they are next to useless.
Got to say, I used them and found it really good. I understand there was some bad decisions in the US, but the service and the therapist were excellent
Fast dad car estate needed Ben 👍 still loving my 330 touring, thanks to your videos for convincing me to get rid of the boring crossover 😂
Ah thanks man! 🙌 C6 RS6?? 😎
@@dadcarsYes Ben! Good shout. Even though I'm a BMW fan boy. The rs6 is always tempting! I had to make a shortlist when It came to changing the car as I kept changing my mind every day 😂
Hi Ben, Mat Armstrong started fixing an £800 TT in a car park, you have the same drive to succeed and a better beard. 💪
Ben, I watched almost all of your videos, because I loved the crszy idea that someone would consider a DB9 a family car with kids. Partly because DB9 has been my dream car simce the first time I saw it more than 10 years ago and partly because I am father of three girls.
I don’t consider mysel to be a huge car enthusiast, I mean, I love the design od DB9 and would be satisfied even if it had a 4 cylinder engine.
Anyway, your videos are unique in the car world. I like how genuine you are and the level of realness that come out of your videos.
Every time I watch a new video I hope you say that you finaly bought a proper DadCar. The truth us that the videos I liked the most were the ones where you were trying to proove that a dad can live with a family sports car. And would love to see that theme more
Hi Ben I always watch your videos to the end then I am bias lol .loving the range rover content. Really looking forward to the Scotland trip. It would be great to see you take a trip over to oban and drive the sky fall road .I did it myself a few years ago and it was breathtaking. Fingers crossed you get yourself and the family into that bigger house . I did the same a few years ago and had a 40 square foot double garage built behind my house. The man cave that I always wanted. My little van has been away for a few weeks now having that new interior we spoke about before .would be great to get it back on the channel again with all the new mods done 😎🤟
Good luck with the sale. Love this channel!
Hi Ben. I love your channel and your petrolhead pickles always make me laugh out loud! I'd have loved to be doing what you're doing when my family was growing up. The nest is now empty, and I'm looking for a 6k PostDadcar fun car for my 60th. Am thinking of Mercedes SLK or CLK, or a supercharged Mini Cooper S. Any thoughts? It'll need to be up to travelling to and around France.
We all get a down about day-to-day stuff, but the important thing is to think why you do what you do, and how fabulous you are at it. You've tons of support here, and we've all got your back. Keep doing what you do best, and let's get you to that new house. Long live Dadcars!!
Could be the slave or master cylinder that has failed 🙈 on the Renault bus
🙈🙈
Could be, I had a slave cylinder go on an 06 Megane, then the clutch lost all pressure and couldn’t get it in gear anymore. Best solution to see is by pumping the clutch and seeing if the break fluid level decreases
That would be my diagnosis too, it is likely to be the clutch hydraulics.
Hello, Ben. I am looking to buy an XKR in about 10 months time. If you buy one and make videos over the next few months it will make my saving up journey so enjoyable. Please XKR 🙏 🙏 🙏
5.0L XKR 👌😮💨
Also, bleed the clutch up amd you may get it back mate... but seems like master has gone, not the clutch
Thanks!
Thank you Frank!! 🙌🙌
Never been to any events (I live in Vietnam), but how about a face painter that paints different car logos on kids' faces?
don't give up!
Hello Ben, good video mate, get the Vito gone, I thought it was sold after the recent video of it, then get rid of Avantime and get your new cool 10k dad car. Good luck, Marcus
Thanks man :)
Looking forward to see what's next!!!!
🙌❤️
Hi Ben, might be time to look at getting Dadcars more like the DB9!
If I’m totally honest I enjoyed them a lot more and found them more interesting to watch. Even the Maserati was cool!
I bought a DB9 partially based on watching videos from yourself & other creators and that’s what I want!
Carry on doing what you are doing!👍❤
The definitive 911 child seat comparability video would be good. Have you asked the child seat manufacturers for sponsorship? Good luck with it all
Volvo Estate, there's the dad car you need 😉
Great video Ben and I admire your honesty. As with any business you need to adjust things to suit the market and being open about that does you no harm at all. A V70 would be a good replacement for the Avantime, but probably the T5 if you can fine one. I’ve been looking at an F31 335 or 340i as an alternative to my (hateful) company iX3, so that might be an option? Keep up the good work 👍
Fix the avantime! You will need to change either the master cylinder or slave cylinder too as that’s what’s gone. I don’t think they have a concentric slave
Ben you’re the reason I own a DB9 - get a Patreon rolling!
No more better help comments, thanks..... Lets keep it to the cars and the channel.🤨
The ultimate dad car is the Land Rover Defender TDCI puma. Honestly there’s nothing it can’t do ! Utility wagon is the ultimate Swiss army knife of a vehicle ❤❤❤
Go anywhere & do anything 100%
Good Luck selling, lets hope once fixed up they go nice and quickly. Future plans sound very cool, in the meantime excited to see the next 2+2 dadcar!! Will be at the NEC so looking forward to that too.
Hi with the X5 because it’s a diesel did you have to run it on the motorway every few weeks to keep the dpf clear? Thanks.
Hopefully your channel will get bigger and your dreams cars be ticked of the list
Thanks man!
Dadcars film studio sounds epic.
All the best to your dream come true 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks man!! 🙌🙌
Could always join the club and buy a Zafira GSi... you know it make sense
Love your videos there are awesome
I hope you get the Avantime and the Vito sold, and increase your veiws to get the new property
Thank you Alex!! Full steam ahead!
Good luck lower your prices and get rid of the cars you want to sell.
Yeah when the avatime is fixed I’ll advertise the Vito for less, it’s technically not listed anywhere at the moment
The vito is vetoed.
😂😂
Pretty sure my other half would want the bluey stickers left on XD
The concept of this channel is fun... But will it be Gandad cars in 20 to 30 years?
Get a vw transporter!! Is that dad car? Definitely carry’s all and everything haha
We’ve reviewed transporters!!
@@dadcars then I had better scroll back haha
Alfa 159 3.2.
👌😮💨
I had a 2010 159 ti 2.0 diesel estate for nearly 5 years. Lovely car, but I think that a decent one with the GM 3.2 engine will be hard to find.
Good luck will hopefully come your way
Ben, cross channels with Alex and turn the aventine into a TopGear rep dadmobile
How cool would that had been on the burnout pad at petrolheadism 😂
Avantime, best motor 2.0 T F4RT 😊
😂😂
Good luck buddy
Thanks Allan!
Not surprised the viewing of Avantime is low. I did watch its videos to see how bad it is.
Wheres the link for autotrader ?
How much is the road tax on the Aventine
You deserve more success but it feels like the channel lost something when the Aston went then a little more when the Maserati went. The mass appeal is a Dad with a young family running interesting cars that most Dads would think unobtainable. I suspect 2 4x4s, a van and an MPV isnt going to get the same views no matter how good a host you are(and you are a great host) Once again please don't take any "hate" from this comment as I mean it constructively
Yeah that’s what this video is all about, I’ll be buying the most exciting Dadcars for £10k next! 💪
@@dadcars Great, looking forward to it
Not sure how many TH-camr can be as successful as Mat Armstrong with 3.5m subscribers (estimated earning of £100k a month).
What auto focus lens or camera are you using? So I can avoid it 😂 🤗
Yeah I’m struggling recently with the GH5!! 🙈
@@dadcars ah yes. their contrast based AF unfortunately has earned a bad reputation
Why not take it up to calvins at binca
Good luck
Thanks!
Is the X5 on auto trader now ?
Sell the Avantime. Get yourself a Renault RS. Manual.
Are you now guy from the Madri?! 🍺
How much is the X5?
I’ve not had time to list it yet 🙈 it’ll go up for £12k
Subbed
Everyone knows the best way to get views is buy a Lamborghini. Then put a video up wrapping it. Then a fake video of it being vandalised. Time to mix it up. Make a parody series
Modify the Range Rover using the viewers suggestions, lift kit, external cage ect. Or buy a car off Auto Alex / TDC
Good luck
I will not get rid of the Mercedes get rid of that Renault MPV get a nice Porsche Cayman yes get rid of that Renault the MPV looks horrible is hideous you should have got a Land Rover Discovery 5 instead of that Renault
I suspect a venn diagram of people who have owned a range rover and people who say they are going to break down would have a very small crossover seection.
£1500 for a rusty Vito!?!?
No wonder you’re still sat on it
Ono!
Need to change this channel is getting a bit long in the tooth.
Stop being silly and buy a petrol Volvo xc90 with 7 seats.
Channel is definitely a little boring at the moment which is a shame but hopefully it picks up 🫡
