Her vlogs are mainly on her Ford's etc just the same as others do, I was impressed by her knowledge of them.

There is another lady called Katie who has an Escos and they know one another.

I think that's the key issue though. It may sound like she has, but that is no guarantee. When she had the white ST, it was always "my ST" etc, but it looks like it wasn't. Similar with the RS 50. The image they portray is rarely the reality, which is where the problem comes from, particularly when they are advertising products under the guise of giving a genuine review/ownership blog.

She clearly likes her Fords, otherwise she wouldn't post what she posts, but there is obviously some deals going on behind the scenes. If you or I asked to borrow one of the three RS 50 Evocations for a few months, I suspect we would be told to fuck off

Fair play to her if she is making money from it and/or getting the use of nice cars, I'd probably do the same, but I think a lot of them are on shaky ground when it comes to advertising standards. It's only a matter of time before we start to see some more regulation.
