HUGE big up to the big derv boy DarrenJLobb!
I noticed he hit 5000 subscribers this week! 
What an awesome achievement!
Nope, it is not a HUGE amount compared to some channels, but for a low budget channel like Darrens...it's epic!
big round of applause for DJLobb me thinks!

Ive been subscribed a fair while now. Fair play to him for getting it this far. I always prefer watching rather than reading though. Pluas some of his early engine blow up vids are funny.
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

Hm this is a seriously random post Piggy lol....
As already stated I don't tend to announce my youtube stats / even look at them often, but did notice they were near the 5k mark back along.
Bit of a strange thread but either way thanks to everyone on here who is subscribed / watches any of my random content

Congrats mate. Still nowhere near making a living out of it though. they reckon you need about a million views a month to make a sensible "salary"

Need about 100k subscribers if you do it right to make any decent money to give up other work.

For reference, I don't make videos on youtube purely to try and make money....just to put that out there as sounds a bit weird / rude.... Any money I make on youtube is just directly re invested into the workshop / car anyway.

Think there is a minimum before you can "withdraw" it though, like £50/60 iirc

Didn't mean to make out like you did fella...
I got my first "pay" about 6 weeks ago... Paid for engine stand basically which features for upcoming videos.

Yeah likewise Darren, didn't mean to offend. You'd said before that videoing car stuff only goes back to paying for car stuff. I think that's so cool as alot of stuff we post we'd of video'd anyway. Getting paid is just a nice touch.

You sure? It looks awfully deep where you are going. I'm good though, I've got eyes.

Are you in competition with Darren or something? You realise he doesn't care, right? There are enough videos of me cocking about on youtube that could get me 'pay' if that's what I aimed for.
I think you might have the methodology and perception wrong on this one.

Geeese.
Calm down, calm down.
I am in no way in competition with Darren, that would be foolish.
I was just relating to Darren regarding when some/any cash does come in, where it goes... IE its not profit or earnings based. If it was I think I'd be on about .5p an hour
