I watched both vids as I subscribe to TLBS, and have followed Jonny Smith since his early Fifth Gear appearances.
Can't say I'm a fan of Schmee/Tim, as it's pretty much all about unobtainable supercars - to me at least.

Liked his previous Idol Chats with Chris Harris, Plato and Neal, as they have had an interest in older, crappier cars and have had a bit of a tougher start in their careers.

Anecdotes from them are a lot more relevant than Tim relaying how he ordered his latest £200k car and how he's going to modify it further.

I prefer Harry's Garage style of car collecting, as it's a bit more diverse and relatable.

Fair play to JS for bringing this to his channel. Very divisive subject, so it seems....
 
I like Tim as well and watched many of his videos, but I can see how he might 'grate' with some. I subscribe to The Late Brake Show and have always enjoyed Jonny's presentation and 'real world' look at cars. Good videos. :thumbsup:
 
Tim being Tim seemed a lot more authentic to me than Tim being Shmee, which I guess is the point. He's found a formula that brings in views and supports his desire to collect the cars he does. He's clearly highly intelligent, though, and I'd be really interested in hearing him talk a lot more about what goes on behind the scenes to make what he does possible.
