Hi all,
Brendan Donnelly here, or some of you might know me as @bdonnelly94 on any of the Motorsport or Automotive forums. (You’ve probably had some sort of disagreement or argument with me at some stage)
Anyway.
About me:
I’ve been working in the motor industry for what seems like a lifetime now, even though it’s only been 7 and a half years. Anyone else in the industry will know where I’m coming from with that. I started off working in Motor factors, then moved to distributors and then onto a Main Volkswagen and Mercedes Dealer. I’ve been around the industry my whole life though as my two older brothers have been working in the industry since I was a child. I also have my own hobby called “Donnelly Performance & Part Broker” check my page out on Facebook.
I am a complete petrol head. I’m absolutely obsessed with cars and motorbikes. Performance and classic vehicles are my favorite of course, but I tend to have soft spots for some very unusual vehicles that have zero performance and zero anything really. For example, every time I see a little 1.3 Toyota starlet 1996 on, shape. I always somehow find myself gawking at it and saying to myself “Jaysus that’s a grand clean yoke” or “Deadly little motor, I’d love one for the winter or Halloween night”. I’ve no idea why this happens but it does. If someone starts talking to me about cars or motorbikes, I could sit there for hours and hours talking to them.
Plan:
My plan with this blog is to obviously write about different things happening in the automotive industry, but I also want to spice it up a little bit and do things a little differently than other people at the same thing. So, what I plan to do is Pick a different classic or performance vehicle every week or every time I get a chance really and do a full review with a link to a YouTube video of a live review with me and the car I’m reviewing. I’ll be reviewing how it drives, it’s performance, it’s modifications, it’s technology, it’s body, it’s reliability, basically I’ll be reviewing everything a petrol head or car enthusiast would like to know about the vehicles themselves. If there is anything that I don’t cover that you would like me to cover in future just message me or comment and I will be sure to cover it in the next video. I will also be reviewing different parts like Ecu’s turbos and all that sort of thing. I might even dip my fingers in the (“spurious” is apparently a dirty word) so I’ll say normal aftermarket parts, such as brake pads/discs, Oil, gaskets, Filters etc. I’ll give my opinion then and advise which I believe are a good option or ones to stay clear of.
Marketing:
Every time I post a blog or a video I will also post the link on my Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts. So if you go follow me on these you will see them every time I do a review and will have direct access to my Blog/YouTube channel.

Please note:
I am only starting out and testing the water to see what interest would be in a blog and YouTube channel like this. So the quality at the beginning won’t be great but obviously the more interest I get the more professional it will get.
