IS IT OLD BRITISH CARS?!

It turns out yesterday's wibble of the week wasn't a one-off! I awoke this morning to a new torrent of misinformed guff, but as we've already had one wibble winner this week, I just deleted it instead.

Then I got thinking, and I'm pretty sure I'm right in this (would be interesting to hear from other channels/creators what they think here)...

...it's always old British cars that bring these mouth breathers out, isn't it? No? It seems to be from where I'm sat. Sure you get nobheads in all walks of life and motoring enthusiast circles, but I honestly do find that if I feature a classic British car, the ratio of numptiness in the responses is always stronger than other nations.

I can't figure it out. Aside from the usual nasily mouth-breather rivet-counters we all encounter in the 'scene' (which you DO also get with German, Italian, French cars etc.), there's something I've found when making any type of content with old British stuff in that you nearly always get some kind of nutter or sad invidivual projecting their life's empitness onto you, simply for making a free video.

I find at car shows that there will be all the usual old British stuff, while anything else will sometimes be dismissed as 'foreign'. Is it that the negative types aren't showing up in the foreign car vids I've done because they never clicked them in the first place? Does choosing to feature their motoring nation's products of choice draw them in?

I wondered if it was because my audience is predominately British - is it simple odds? But then it's mainly British for ALL the vids I do, so it can't be that.

And I'm not talking about people who don't like the vids - that's fine, I have no issue with that at all. It's the mentally subnormal ones who go off on one with seemingly zero provocation. There are PLENTY of nutters out there, who drop into Conspiracy Theory/Racism/Politics/Religion...all the stuff that makes the internet so shit these days, within the car world and away from it, but there's something that seems to draw in people who just exist to try and pull everybody else down. Like a parasite, or an energy vampire, only without the comic timing of Colin Robinson.

Is it just me? Am I wrong in this, or is there something in it?

To counter the twattery, please enjoy the three old British cars above

that are among the favourites I've had in my workshop. I never drove the Tiger (it didn't run properly) but the Sprite and the mkII left lasting impressions (positive ones!)
