      This was soooo sick to see Jamie as raw as this. Like even just seeing him swear and just talk fully naturally as he can't on his channel is super refreshing. Bro already got my sub but this channel got me one aswell

    @DannoAviation 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

    I found Jamie on YT when he was at around 20k subs, instantly knew he’d grow based on his buzzy personality and lack of ego, it was so refreshing to witness someone who, rather than hide behind a poker face and downplay how good his feature cars were.. actually appreciate them and let his true personality out, it takes guts to do that. The geezers a top man and deserves the best in not just YT but life itself, brilliant representative of the UK car scene as a whole👍🏼

    27 minutes in and I have to say that Jamie is like the West London version of me if I didn't have any restraint. I'd love to meet this guy because I think his enthusiasm would rub off and I could really do with that right now. Sounds like such a lovely genuine guy and I wish him all the best in continuing his journey to success.

    Been into motors my entire life, from ford mk1 xr2’s to now as a 40 year old , motors are still heavily a big part of me and Jamie’s energy is unreal and for the likes of me keeps the scene alive! , no arrogance, brilliant attitude and appreciative of all types of builds. Top lad 👌🏻

    I totally remember seeing Jamie in Rickys video "back in the day". Jamie hasnt changed at all and is still one on the most totally passionate, down to Earth youtubers out there.

    Yeah jamie is a good guy to watch his energy and excitement driving the cars and other videos keeps me watching . He always tries to reply to his viewers when other car channels do not or reply with cheeky smart arse comments back . Even a tumbs up emoji back is better than nothing from any other channel . Plus he is always smiling as he has the best job ever driving cars and enjoying life . Im a huge fan of the channel and as long he keeps doing everything at his level I will always watch ..... 😊😊😊
