We must admit we don’t know who Bob Flavin is. That is how little time we spend with fellow motoring journalists. He works for drive.co.uk, the Dailystar, and he is a freelance motoring hack. Nothing wrong with that. Gotta-make-a-livin’.

Bob reviews the Skoda Karoq, a compact SUV. His YouTube channel has 30k subscribers and earns $49 dollars a month from Patreon.

However, because he works for some top publications he has click-of-the-fingers access many press fleets.

Of the Skoda Karoq, he says “This is a proper, off-roady car”…

Professional award winning advice folks.

And what do we, dailycarblog.com, a multi-award winning, top quality car blog get access to? Nothing, nada. Well OK… maybe three.

You see we’ve become pirates, persona non-grata within UK automotive journalism.

We just couldn’t help ourselves, folks. We didn’t fit in.
