Hi guys, please do me a favour and take the time to check out my YouTube channel "Gassed Up"

It started off small with just a few track day videos and the like but at the end of the month we are going to Cardiff to drive the New Abarth 595 and 124 Spider and more cool stuff to come!

Give us a look and if there's anything you would like to suggest for the future please let me know!

Boring as fuck, your camera is low quality your camera skills are shit at best and you're still a jumped up cock end.

Also since you make money from YouTube this could be classed as a advertisement for your business and you aren't a affiliate so breaking forum rules.

19th November 2016, 08:00

Its not a business but if you have any further suggestions please send them to idontgiveafuck@gassedupuk.com

Thank you.

Leave him alone man haha. He's trying.

19th November 2016, 19:37

He's right about the gear though. When I started I didn't have a clue on settings or anything! I was uploading in 480p rather than 1080!

That said I wouldn't say my equipment is THAT bad compared to what some similar channels are using.

I have a Sony HDR CX240 Camcorder 1080p HD, A Gopro 2 1080p HD and a SJCAM S4000 also 1080p HD

I am looking into getting a Panasonic Lumix G7 which also has the benefit of being 4K but that's not why I'm using it.

I've also gone out and bought a tripod and am planning on getting another action cam asap.

Plus we are off to Cardiff very soon to review two Abarths

So it's not all bad! I'm all for a bit of constructive criticism! Off the back of what he said i actually deleted the shite quality videos with low views but that dude is just a troll looking at all his posts on sax-p.

That or very depressed.

You are a member of patreon asking for money because you can't make enough money from your vids, sub 500 subs. Your content is little more than a camera phone quality. You have no structure to your vids and the content is crap.

The picture quality is embarrassing as with the lighting.

No one wants to watch a YouTube channel of a bloke "begging" for you to pay for his hobby. Also no one wants to watch the reposted vids from other users when they can find them elsewhere.

You need to start a fresh with originality good lighting and well structured and well edited vids of a average time of 8-9 mins,

We have a traffic of 250k views on the work feed weekly using equipment with a value of over 5k every week, the hobbyist just isn't interesting anymore just look at diresta and Casey neistat for some examples, two very different well shot well edited formats both gaining thousands of views and keeping it interesting.

19th November 2016, 23:27

You forget most of the people getting big views on youtube (Shmee 150 etc) were already rich.

He has shite content and he doesn't have the greatest quality footage I've ever seen either. Plus his voice, hair and clothes are annoying as hell.

You always been the same, always about the money. The examples I gave you both started with nothing one was a broke bloke on benefits 7 years ago and another was a carpenter who worked out of a cellar.

The format you are into is a dead market too many people do it and your "look how many vids I can do about my finance polo" is only ever going to get you so far. Think outside the box to what the age range 14-19 want to see, is that market where you get the clicks and it's there you will get the views but what do I know I forget they were actually rich.

19th November 2016, 23:44

I'm not in it to be rich! It's an interest! Do I need to show my bank balance to prove it's not financed? ??

Na you lie too much. Why ask for money if you're not in it to be rich?

20th November 2016, 00:15

So I don't have to spend any more of my money on equipment when it's already added up to 2 grand.

Because you don't know what you're doing and bought the wrong stuff, even the stuff you listed above is crap, a 70d would be far better for your needs and a go pro or 2 for the "polo action shots" with some decent editing software and external mic. I'm bored of trying to help but you made that much money from the sale of the house you dont need help right?

carry on

20th November 2016, 00:42

You are completely right I DID buy the wrong stuff starting out! I was watching small youtubers (at that time people like Jamie FYD) that were solely using GoPros and cheap gear and thought that would do me as it was just an experimental hobby. I wrongly thought a cheap HD camcorder would help but again I was wrong.

You have to realise that although on paper I might actually appear to have a decent amount of cash tucked away, a half decent job/life etc that I still have to prioritise things in life for example how can I justify £400 on say a camera when I could get my son something nice with that cash.

I have a Gopro 2 which is fine for action as is the SJCAM. I've recently bought an external mic for the Gopro.

Editing wise I use cyber link powerdirector 14.

My next camera will likely be a Panasonic Lumix G7

20th November 2016, 00:44

Reference subscribers and such I would prefer 1000 loyal supportive guys than a million that only watch my click bait videos.

20th November 2016, 00:51

still not listening.... Panasonic.

20th November 2016, 11:56

Panasonic GH4/GH5,next year video is going 6k.

20th November 2016, 12:19

I still only have HD TV at home as do most people.

Not that it matters as I don't know anyone with a 4k screen on their computer so I think HD is still going to be the default format for quite a while. Heck my current smartphone only does 480p!

The intention was to have a hobby. Not start a proper business via a car channel!

It's actually something I thought of when listening t "Not Afraid" by Eminem

"Fuck the world feed it beans, it's Gassed Up if it thinks it's stopping me"

That stuck in my mind and it sort of went from there..

21st November 2016, 11:25

You guys might want to look at the first episode of the grand tour, Clarkson spent a few minutes lecturing americans about just that. Whenever I speak mechanics with my friends from across the pond, some get lost in translation, "what's a bonnet".

21st November 2016, 14:27

Fuck the haters Hardcore blowjob, how's the polo that you race on track that's not your polo but it might be your polo and we know it's your polo (well the banks) but you deny it's your polo ?

21st November 2016, 15:02

All I can say on that matter is that the Polo I own is mine and isn't financed or loaned in any way.

21st November 2016, 17:31

I’ve done a little filming and editing in the past, and a decent mid-range Canon would outperform most of the above (with the exception of the big boys obviously), although depending on the setup you might have trouble with focus. But ultimately, decent content is more important. There are literally hundreds of YouTube channels with thousands of subscribers which spurt out content filmed from a Laptop webcam. A lot of them are generic 'person in front of a camera' vlogs, but there are also some pretty helpful guides/reviews too. I can’t remember the name off the top of my head, but I once watched a video which explained how to install some pillar pod gauges, the whole thing looked like it was filmed on a phone camera. But it was good, the bloke was very informative, he didn’t fuck about with a 40 second intro, it was the top result on Google and had well over 100k views. The point I’m making is that you can spend thousands on a camera, but if you’re not outputting decent content then you’re wasting your time.

Being brutally honest with you Joe, a few reviews of the new Polo GTi or similar from a non-biased owner’s point of view would make for good viewing. I watched and read loads of reviews from both professionals and amateurs about my last car before buying. However, unless you’re a F1 driver or someone semi-famous, nobody really wants to watch you sit and talk about your car history for 20 minutes, and nobody really wants to watch you unveil your brother’s mystery car from a lock-up (which was reviled in the title, rendering the whole video pointless). And it’s too unprofessional, the ‘amateur look’ is fine, but the videos don’t feel structured, your wording is a bit all over the place, and there are simple mistakes that just need ironing out. I think I watched one of your videos and there was an apology in the description because you accidentally left the camera in the “toy mode” setting.

Your track stuff is fine, keep that on the channel just for filler, and because people like watching track videos, but my advice would be; get rid of the mistakes, focus on some structured, informative reviews, and keep things relatively short and interesting. Then I reckon you’d be on to a winner.

21st November 2016, 19:58

Yeah the problem is I know I have it in me to be better than a lot of guys doing the same thing just I rush into it and don't plan due to family/child commitments and sp on. You picked up on my mistakes that even I've noticed so you are 100% correct! It's cringe worthy how many "erm" are in my Polo review!

That said my Polo videos have done the best! My walkaround has had around 19k views, sound 14k and my other mini reviews featuring the Polo all have around 2k views which for a small channel of this type is actually quite good. In some ways I'm amazed I even have 223 subs!

I think at first I spent too much time trying to rush videos out as I was under the impression that the more videos I made the better the chance of people watching them.

The main plan for the future is getting a better camera and actually planning things out beforehand.

Tomorrow I'm off to Cardiff to drive 2 Abarths with my brother and I feel like I know so much about the cars and so on but I haven't a clue how I'm actually going to structure and film it.

You're obviously committed. One of the most difficult things is finding the time and having the dedication to continue making videos – despite any negative comments. Your Polo review was probably so popular because you were one of the first to review the new Mk6, which is great. You don’t want your videos to be too planned, because you’ll end up looking wooden and boring, but you need guidelines on what you’re going to say and how the video will be structured, which parts of the car you talk about and how that leads you in to the next section etc. If you’re just going to walk up to a car with the camera recording and try to wing it, you’re setting yourself up to fail. Flooding your channel with uploads is fine in the beginning, but once you start gaining subscribers you’ll soon lose them if you continuously upload drivel. 2 to 5 decent videos a week is plenty.

22nd November 2016, 13:30

Practice will eventually make the videos better. I'm in the unfortunate position as well that this year has been truly dreadful on a bad things that happen in life front. It's been non stop! My mind just can't focus on one single thing because there's just too much going on.

Hopefully next year will mean a fresh start with fresh equipment and a more positive outlook.

I'm looking forward to going up to Cardiff in a bit but I just wish I didn't have a million and one problems to deal with at the same time so I can actually focus on doing a good job.

We'll get there. The aim has always been to provide a "every man" take on cars. No BS, no glamour, no snobbiness just a normal blokes opinions and hopefully I can get some sort of small following or recognition from it. If not it's a bit of a fun hobby on the side

30th November 2016, 19:31

Here's the latest

https://youtu.be/sNNDdba9Jug

30th November 2016, 20:56

It seems a bit like you did no planning, like you just started recording and reeling off what the car has - which we can obviously see.

"It's got erm....an abarth badge....it's got a nice sticker down the side...err it has a vent on the back which is not fake.."

Also you could've taken it elsewhere other than the fiat dealership and a toys'r'us car park!!

30th November 2016, 20:57

There wasn't time for planning unfortunately. My personal life saw to that!

It's a "free" film. I don't make people pay for them or even watch them. Heck Shmee150 has almost a million subscribers and his videos are garbage.

He's just rich and can afford decent filming gear and drive round in supercars.

I said this about your last video and I’ll say it again, there are hundreds of YouTubers with big followings who record on low-spec cameras, so decent filming gear is not essential. Decent content is what you need. Walking up to a car with the camera recording and trying to wing is only going to fail.

Plan, know what you’re going to say, do it in a nice location, have a few interesting points ready to say, cut out the “erm”. Be informative and also entertaining (no Borat impressions). And if necessary, edit a little to make things look professional, just a quick 5s intro, nothing longer, with a logo or your channel name will make things look more serious.

And don’t use the word ’guys’ – like “welcome back guys” or “hey guys”, this isn’t America.

1st December 2016, 12:24

Whey are you using a filter on the top? Makes it look like it was filmed through instagram, er.. erm...

1st December 2016, 14:13

Personally I like the filter. It distracts a bit from the unprofessional style quality that camera has.

This was more of a test drive/review not a proper written/scripted one. I can do better, just lack of time to make it look professional etc hindered me.

I can't stress enough that I'm not a pro or even claiming to be.

It's an odd one really as my usual subscribers were happy with the film but you guys on here seem to be expecting some sort of Evo/autocar style review which lets face it they have a whole team and budget behind them.

I'm just a guy with a camera!

That's good I actually do appreciate the feedback.

It is hard to strike a balance between what I want to do and what other want me to do. Finding that balance is the hard bit while I'm starting this.

4th December 2016, 20:55

On the plus side the video has probably had the fastest amount of views. Currently on 1.1k after 3 days

Well honestly, I didn't watch all the video. Too much blabbering and unnecessary info. Seems like you're trying to copy Top Gear with the camera stuff and filters. Then all of a sudden it's a shakey clip of the car driving through an assisted living council estate. Sort it out.

17th December 2016, 08:48

It's in the middle of the country so I doubt it's a council estate of a few houses.

20th December 2016, 13:06

Ah yeah I know the bit you are on about.

It's my politically "nice" way of referring to a type of person that in my general experience of driving (millions of miles) generally seems to be amongst the worst type of drivers on the road.

That's not racism at all. Saying most scams in the UK are perpetrated by Nigerians isn't a racist statement. But to say all Nigerians are dirty scam artists would in my opinion be classed as a racist comment.

Not sure why I'm defending the fact that I'm not racist so vigorously but pure and simply I'd just like to state that I'm not

Sublime

It's a very nice way to waft around, I'm averaging about 28mpg. My only tip would be to get one with plenty of options.

Every car for sale proclaims to be fully loaded, but in reality the vast majority of cars are base spec.

Comfort seats are utterly brilliant and a must imo, active cruise is excellent, logic 7 audio is great, and adaptive headlights are pretty damn good too.

I was hoping for some feedback since the last videos I posted on here though

18th January 2017, 21:30

Lost interest when you started "my living room floor reviews" and your time lapse of nothing.

18th January 2017, 21:56

You will like this video then....That was to full some time!

18th January 2017, 22:16

Nope, no content is better than bad content.

18th January 2017, 22:45

This is true although I have to question your judgement when there are 13 likes and only one dislike (that happened after I posted to this forum)

18th January 2017, 23:11

For some general feedback not related to the actual video, I was suprised by the comparative pace of the merc. Enough to make me check the specs, it's only 190bhp and it weighs 1680kg?

Is it the E220d?

18th January 2017, 23:16

Yes! I was also shocked to be honest considering the Polo is so much lighter and most GTI's tend to put out even more than book figures.

It's also partly down to my lack of confidence in Luca's driving. I know my driving and I'm pretty experienced. No accidents in all my time driving whereas he is a new driver and I don't want to push him into something silly.

Also the conditions favoured rwd with the drag races and his auto box means in the sport modes it's always bang on to shift.

Not to take anything away from the car. Its an expensive bit of kit but it's definately not the slow diesel I thought it was! In second and third it's basically even it's only in the higher gears do I start becoming noticeably faster.

18th January 2017, 23:18

It does have a lot of torque though I must mention.

18th January 2017, 23:48

Dislike isn't me, not watched it and don't intend to.

Every now and then I come on to this forum to see if any of the old lot are still posting, unfortunately it's only a couple.

I was overjoyed to see a thread started by none other than Hardcockgingerlad and was even more thrilled when it was about his new video blog.

Imagine my sheer elation when it turned out to be the biggest pile of wank I've ever watched on youtube.

Is that a wind up?

The cars been off to insurance for a repair that would have cost less than your excess in all likelihood, if it had had a smart repair and 2 parking sensors lashed in.

Meanwhile because it's taken 10 weeks you've had an E class to knock around in, at a no doubt horrific cost to the insurance company, and now you're hoping to claim back the cost of a cambelt change and full service because you feel it's running a "bit lumpy and knocky" and this is likely because it's been stood for the same amount of time so people leave their cars in airport parking to go on a cruise?

Amazing.

28th February 2017, 12:52

Well I did tell Luca to just not claim on the insurance and just get a second hand bumper off ebay but as far as I can understand it he had to claim on the insurance because the black box showed he had an incident.

The rest is purely down to the insurance and not him. He never asked for the Merc and he certainly didn't ask for his car to be sat outside in the freezing cold and being covered in bird poo when he picked it up!

He will only look at recovering costs IF it's because it's been sat there for that time (no fault of his) or because they have damaged it in some way (was perfect before it went in to the accident repair garage.

Hopefully that paints a better picture than how you portrayed the events. Not getting into an argument about it as im sure what I have just said has cleared it up nicely.

9th April 2017, 14:34

Music was too loud over the dialogue in some parts (and the engine, can't hear anything of what's been said). Now the guy's complaining it's doing 33mpg because it's been sat there for 10 weeks. I says take it for a run, sounds like he doing short trips only, then he kind of implies the car is due for a service anyway and that he's going to try to claim a cambelt off of the insurance, err lol. Saying that he usually only puts 20 a week in it doesn't give any indication of anything. Most likely going wrong because it's an alfa.

Not sure why it takes 10 weeks to fit two sensors and fix a scratch, but then he had a merc during all that time.

IF it can be proven that it was sat at the repair garage for so long or if it was damaged during that time

I though there was a black box in there.

10th April 2017, 13:00

I love how this thread went from "please like and share my video" to "please delete this thread, it's pointless" in less than 5 posts.

Like did you expect The fucking Guardian to pick up the story and make a front page scandal about how it took longer than expected to fix an Alfa and the fact it sounded it bit lumpy on return? Get real.

How you ever got more than 5 views on any of your videos is absolutely beyond me.

The amusing thing is the channel has done much better because of the negative comments on here and other places that I have taken on board

Looks like things are on the up! Been contacted by a few individuals/organisations and also did a collab with Ricky from LLF LivingLifeFast.

In some ways the initial negative comments on here have directly made the channel better so thanks!

And the positive ones, obviously.

There were positive ones? 😂

Great response to the Golf GTI and R Reviews and subscribers up to 885 currently! Consider taking a second look if you've been following (and hating on) this thread

Is this still going? Any new content?

It's all mysteriously disappeared...

Maybe hardcoreblowjob couldn't handle the YouTube fame and success

Strange. Anyone have him on Facebook or anything? I'd like to know more about the Polo GTi.

Just bought a 9n3 Polo GTi at the weekend Stissy, what model are you after?

Ours has a Revo stg1, Miltek 2.5" downpipe/dummy cat, Forge 008p diverter valve & KW coilovers. Running around 210-215 bhp and it's great fun. I'm a little too old for the coilovers though so looking for something a little less bouncy.

Nothing in particular. I just wanted to know how Joe was getting on.

How did you find this? Hes expanding his horizons. I notice hes started doing a few scratch endings too.

Hi!

I am alive and well thanks! Yeah just expanding horizons and trying new things. Cars are an expensive hobby and as a father the two don't really go hand in hand also I wasn't really enjoying doing the YouTube stuff. Once you pass that 1000 subscriber mark it feels like you are expected to make content and then it sort of feels like a job you know? No fun then!

Fortunately not a father OF two lol

The Polo is fine for the 3 of us currently but the missus is getting the new Dacia Duster in October so that should do family duties a bit better and have the doggos more comfy in the back

To be honest I feel the Polo is wasted on me at the moment. Its rarely clean or driven fast so seems a bit of a waste. That said its just one of those cars that does "being a car" very well so doubt I will be getting rid any time soon!

"Gassed Up is hands down one of my favorite YouTube channels! The content they produce is incredibly engaging and entertaining. Whether it's their in-depth car reviews, informative maintenance tips, or thrilling track day adventures, they always deliver top-notch quality. The hosts have fantastic chemistry and their passion for automobiles shines through in every video. I appreciate how they cater to both seasoned car enthusiasts and those new to the automotive world. Gassed Up consistently keeps me hooked, eagerly waiting for their next upload. Highly recommended for anyone who loves cars and wants a channel that delivers excitement and knowledge."
