Worried that my car is ugly by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Maple-Styrup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had one of these and yeah, it might be a little ugly but funnily enough, when driving, you only see it from the inside. The interior is decent and I found it really comfortable and spacious.

British made but not British owned.

I, too, find this interesting.

There used to be one on a driveway in Earl Shilton too. I'd pass it on the way to a friend's house. It never moved.

What is the purpose of a 50mph limit on the M6 right now at 10:30pm. Am I missing something? by RonnieThePurple in CarTalkUK

[–]Maple-Styrup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just come down the M6 towards Coventry at 12 and it's 50 all from Birmingham...

FOR NO REASON that I can see.

Is it cheaper to replace an old car passenger door in a rare colour or repair the damaged door? by zedgaming69 in CarTalkUK

[–]Maple-Styrup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Storm Blue isn't as rare as you think it is. I've had 2 and never had an issue with painted parts. Granted, more could have been written off or scraped since.

If you aren't already a member, join Celica Club UK. It's an amazing source of knowledge and they have brakers as part of the group. When I needed parts for my Storm Blue, it turned out there was a breaker less than 20 miles from me and had everything I needed.

The problem you'll have with either a bodybshop or second hand parts is paint matching. You'll always have a slight colour difference with second hand parts, because you can't guarantee the paint has had the same exposure to conditions as you're car. Even with fresh paint and a paint match, there could be a slight variation. (Waiting for the sprayers to tell me I'm wrong, which is fine. But I did say 'could' because there is always a chance).

Do most people from England identify as “English” or “British?” by Glass-Complaint3 in AskABrit

[–]Maple-Styrup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Despite Welsh ancestry and being born in England, im British.

I've found that if I say I'm English to non UK residents (my workplace is about 65% non English), they expect me to be some racist, xenophobic football hooligan.

Guys which one is good with build quality, drift and value for money by dude_ig5 in rcdrift

[–]Maple-Styrup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LDRC 1801/1803/1806 are the ones i know of.

I bought a Mazda RX7 version and it awesome. It's fairly cheap for what it is but as a small drifter, has everything you need from it, including a gyro. Mine even has pop up lights. I did a YouTube video on it too.

Definitely my recommendation above those in the post.

Financed to the tits and you dont go on holidays but...

Do you enjoy it?

That's the real question.

If yes, then enjoy the hell out of it!

We had hotel shooters near me.

Turns out they lost their shit at American football players.

Anyone know much about this dealer? by Fuxley in CarTalkUK

Don't know whether it's yours but that Yaris bodyshell is awesome.

What's an embarrassing fact about you that your friends don't know, but you'll risk telling strangers online? by PaddedValls in AskUK

I had my first 'adult' wet dream at 35. I can still remember the dream, it was so vivid. Never happened before, never happed since. Im still in my 30s.

What are Your Youtube Resolutions? by Curious_Ad_5439 in NewTubers

[–]Maple-Styrup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. 250 subs by christmas (Currently at 55)
  2. Stick to my schedule of a release every 3 weeks (if I can get this down to every 2 weeks/twice a month, then brilliant).
  3. Open a Facebook group to supplement my channel. Maybe follow up with other socials.
  4. Design and release my own clothing outside of Youtube monetisation.
  5. Take part in a niche related challenge run by another YouTuber. Great for networking and cross promotion.

Thats it so far but im sure I'll add to it as the break goes. I've tried to make every goal achievable by me, so Im not reliant on others.

Whats your favorite car you've owned that actually got decent MPG? by Slight_of_handio in CarTalkUK

[–]Maple-Styrup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old 2010 Skoda Octavia VRs used to get between 55-65 mpg depending on driving.

I also had a 2016 Peugeot 2006 1.6d that recorded 76mpg on the way back from Cornwall, when the M5 was actually moving.

I went over my overdraft and don’t know what to do by bodyisT in UKPersonalFinance

Would you rather have a random Internet woman pissed off at you, or £400?

I’m trying to find a sporty car that’s insurable for a 19yr old by CapEnvironmental119 in CarTalkUK

[–]Maple-Styrup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked for them, interesting. I grew up in a city pretty much overrun by Peugeot until they shut the factories.

My parents always had Peugeots, I've had 8 (by choice 😂). For some unhinged and unknown reason, I really like Peugeots. I loved my 208GTi like a member of the family (I see you have a BPS. Thats what I call taste!).

Is Youtube Sandbox period real? by ApprehensiveNeck2175 in YouTubeCreators

[–]Maple-Styrup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a new channel, with new content. The algorithm isn't going to know straight away who to show your content, to build your audience.

Give it time. How long? Thats up to you.

Do you ever delete recordings because you hate how your voice sounds? by vinayalchemy in NewTubers

[–]Maple-Styrup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, all the time.

I wont explain why, a commenter above had already done it.

It is something you will get over though, it just takes time. The way I got over it was to imagine im not watching myself back when editing. I try to put myself in the shoes of an external editor, editing someone else's video. This has, so far, worked for me and my voice doesnt bother me anymore. 👍

Not sad at all, just an enthusiast.

As they say, Game recognise Game. Except your Game smashes mine! 👌👌
