Jamie Balmer – ‘FYD’
Over 110,000 people have subscribed to FYD’s YouTube channel and it’s not hard to see why. His entertaining videos can be artsy, but they’re fun to watch as he rips cars apart and rebuilds them with fully decked spec. You can also follow the progress of his projects in instalments. Jamie also runs FYD Apparel, a clothing line that is recognised by enthusiasts across the country! (www.fydapparel.com)

His videos range from beginners guides to the more complex processes of building and modifying cars. What makes his YouTube channel even greater is that he doesn’t stick to just one type of car.
