Afternoon everybody,

I haven't used this for quite some time, since I owned my 2016 GTD in-fact. I thought it was apt to return as I am now driving a MK7 Golf R, and loving it everyday!

I've decided to start up a YouTube channel, first concentrating on the R as it's the car I know (MK7 especially). You can find a link to my video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yCsjFhjVgA

I would be grateful and very appreciative of any comments, subscribers and likes. Please mind the bad video as it is filmed on my iPhone X. I'll be making more videos about the car, my plans for it, what I've done, what I'm going to do, and of course, some useful fitting/editing tutorials.

Thanks in advance.

Just some tips: avoid just providing a "talking head." Aside from the one cutaway to your R being unveiled (do they really do that?), all we see is you sitting in a chair. If you want YouTube viewers you can't be boring--visually or with your spoken content. Get some shots of your R on the street and intercut them with you giving your opinion; or, even better, don't talk from a chair, but from within your car. But, if you are going to tape yourself in a chair, as you did here, compose the shot so that the space in front of your face is dominant in the shot, not the area behind your head. Last, try to put more feeling into what you're saying. In many points your energy is waning. Your audience will only care about what you are expressing as much as you appear to care about it. Card space is cheap: if you don't totally nail a segment of what you planned to say, then re-shoot it until you get it just right. Always review each clip before you put the camera away.


Good luck with the YouTube channel.

That’s all well and good however we can’t just let the one person review cars can we now?
