I think James May said it beautifully in a top gear special: "You gotta remember that everything good in the world, especially everything good that ever came out of Britain came out of a shed."
James May has a valid point - as well as a hilarious laugh
Is the *Correct* answer ✔️
I just realised that my two favorite British UA-camrs both do amazing things in sheds
Colin Furze and Jimbo
The only member of that Top Gear/Grand Tour crew that I actually genuinely like. James May is a gentleman, and smart dude.
Cournioni Same here. The only reason for not using him anymore is his link with the other two. Never mind, he’s done some pretty interesting stuff without them.
Jimmy: **Smacks roof of shed** it's got about 700,000 miles on it
Buyer: wait what
☠☠
hahaha
Lol
im ded hhaaaaahahha
🤣🤣
I thought the shed thing was a joke lol. Fair play getting to where you are out of a shed!!
Super GT Same here. Lmao
We’ll get him into a proper flat soon enough 💸
Same. Jimmer got me bamboozled!
Riswan Ahmad P. I haven’t looked up how much a non-shed dwelling costs in the UK, but I bet he is close to affording one now that he’s done dumping money into his MX-5 😉
Erm.... where has he gotten exactly? PMFSL
Kudos to you for having the balls to divulge that you live in a shed. People are always quick to judge even if they have next to no background information regarding what led up to this point.
Well said buddy! 👍
It's a really nice shed though.
More of a tiny cottage in the garden
Coming back go this after Jimmy has moved into a proper house makes me feel so happy for him. To go from an aspiring sim racing content creator living in a literal shed, to living in his own house, with a nice car, racing in actual series, and still simming with the best in the world including real drivers, makes me feel so proud that someone so kind, caring, respectful, and dedicated got what he deserved to have in life. So proud of you Jimmer!
Jimmer in 2 years from this youll be racing for Praga. Keep up the hard work!
I had to do a double take on this and check the date. For a split second I thought you were psychic lol
Called it basically
Dedicating something like 50 % of your living space to a hobby is pretty hardcore. No matter howmuch you have in total.
Well, it's a job for him nowadays
@@santeritaimi6843 that’s got him damn near living poorly who tf spend all that money on stuff like that and you barley have a roof over your head kinda stupid
@@meechiebridges9636 He just bought a house recently, he was just saving up
lol 😂 He’s most definitely not broke, he has over 600,000 subs. He been on top gear multiple times , and he gets countless tips on a daily, that’s not including all the free gear he receives from sponsors. Does he spend a lot of money yea I’m sure, but does that mean he’s broke? Absolutely not. If you get to do something you love everyday that alone makes you the riches person on earth. Just because some one lives in a shed does not mean he’s poor. You should really learn to start checking facts before you start judging people. An like I said anyone who has that many subs doesn’t have to pay for very much of his “Hobby” related equipment. Sponsers pay for 75% of it.
@@meechiebridges9636 most of it came from sponsors*
*Pats roof of shed* This shed can fit so many PS2 controllers and dead memes
Char Fiarrow hahahh
and ex-wife jokes
this little number does 60 ex-wife an hour, no sweat
Nice
I've only recently discovered this guy's channel, but I've come to love him to bits. As a racing fan for more than 20 years, I love your immersion and love of the sport. A channel like yours dedicated to the purity and unbridled excitement of old school racing and especially the older circuits and cars wasn't even imaginable 10 years ago, so I'm just loving your content. Long may you continue.
For all the shed jokes it's easy to throw the first stone. His life isn't hurting anyone. Unless you have been born very fortunate and have had some luck in life things like this can happen to anyone. At one point I had racked up a ton of debt with school and cars and didn't want to walk away from the debt and pass the buck and wasn't going to ask my parents for help other than asking them if I could keep one car in their garage. So for 2 years I lived in a single wide trailer while working a salaried job and paid off every penny. Since that time almost 20 years ago I have gone times with plentiful money and times where things have been lean. Keep your head up jimmer. Just don't get complacent and keep pushing forward. You're doing better than a lot of people.
Exactly. LIve and let live. I don't know all Jimmy might have had to face in life but glad he seems happy. Love the videos so keep em coming. :)
But he don't live in a shed... he just has his bedroom in the shed.. massive difference.
great comment!
well you can actually work and have a small house twice the size of this and be independent...but you can not spend that mutch money on this rig...humm decisions decisions!
@@MentSageM it's his life, and his decisions
Despite everyone's hating, jimmer is actually living the dream. Living in a tiny space FULL of racing equipment and a comfy bed
When your wheel set up is worth more than your house... 😂
It's his bedroom not house
He said it was his house (I live in the shed).
The life of a british all grown up 35 year old boy..
i'm sick of your bullshit @@ViceVersace
Got his priority right on lol
I'm so glad UA-cam recommended me your channel. You are so down to earth for a UA-camr, it's unreal.
Yeah, ikr, it's pretty refreshing!
I hope to see you move into a much better place soon! Wishing you all the best 😊
Anirudh Shirsat bigger and faster sheds! 🤔
@@daltonbedore8396 a v8 powered driveable shed
nah man, its all he needs. save up a few more years and get a truly decent place
looks like paradise to me
@@varnliche I would love it. But I don't need much to stay happy. Just a bed, some racing sims and fishing poles, a friend or two and I am golden.
Looking back at this now, after you've become an actual racing champion, I gotta say I find this inspiring. Even though you had to have been absolutely miserable living like this, none of that comes through in video. Always chipper, always positive, and you kept your head down and kept going forward. I'd be interested in reading a blog about how you ended up there, and then how you crawled slowly out of it. You've been nothing less than inspirational. Keep it going, Jimmy.
Probably the most sophisticated and well thought out shed ever.
Lol
No
SickofthisBullshit Vice Versa You don’t have to agree with my thoughts on it and that’s fine, but there’s absolutely no need for that hostility at all.
Barney Ward Classy response (unlike mine haha)
Marcus Wilcock I know mate. It just never ceases to amaze me that some people feel the need to be so unbelievably rude over something that’s positive.
That moment when you realize there's a ton of videos out there where a youtuber posts "you have to have triple monitors to be quick" and then remember what monitor Jimmy uses while being twice as quick as any of those youtubers.
I told you it's a good feckin shed Jimmy...
Man I know how it is getting stuck back at the patents. I got cancer and am now stuck back at home for now, can't wait to get back on feet. Stay positive dude, things always work out. And I wasn't joking, I really do have cancer.
Travis T I wish you the best on your journey to recovery
Johnny Waffles Thank you very much.
all the best!
Theodor THFC Thank you
I wish the best for you.
A shack dedicated to sim racing. Life goals
It wasn't meant as an insult.
I'm taken aback how likable Jimmy is.
I know I gem when I see them.
Makes it much more enjoyable to watch and enjoy the content.

“literally”
This is very rare A-spec racing shed. The shed is a funny meme, but mostly it shows you can make something really impressive out of limited resources and despite struggles. Lots of respect, Jimmo.
Thanks for SHEDDING some light on your living arrangements :)
Heheheh
Jimmie just started watching I am a 26 year old man who due to unfortunate circumstances is basically in my moms shed as well. Nice to see how far you’ve come!
Thats one serious set up. Very cool. But seriously, simracing and gaming companies out there, hook this man up. Some real talent here.
Drive Tribe seem to have picked him up for a couple of events lately so i guess it's finally happening :D
You are so humble. You are well loved, Jimmer. Your streams are down to earth and like watching a mate. Your shed is lovely, thank you for letting all your fans into your life.
man, the return of MTV Cribs really started off with a bang
FoxiFyer 🤣 read my post 🤣
if this is the standard its gonna be lit
Horrible videos? Cmon bro your content is literally the best sim racing content on all of the Internet.
A real talent. Outdraws cubic money with cubic talent. Looking forward to enjoying your journey that you can share. The only significant thing in life is where you will be, not where you are from. Here is wishing you continued success.
Here here
Wang: "this is where I live!"
Me: "Haha. No, he means just where he does his gaming."
*sees bed*
Me: "Oh. Wow. He really does live in a shed...
I think people have this misconception of popular UA-camrs and streamers being very well-off and what have you, but it's actually not the case (for the most part, anyway). Yes you have a good racing rig and yes your computer setup is top notch, but it's clearly less about splashing cash and more... a dedication to your craft.
I've always enjoyed your videos, but now it's fortified with a lot of respect. Thank you for letting us into your life just a little bit. :)
*Starts thinking about all those ex-wife jokes*
Oh fug
I immediately did that with in the first min of the vid...
Yeah, he even says "imagine having a flat and then having to fit all of that stuff from a flat into a very small shed." So... What happened to the flat? Yeah, probably ex-wife...
@@michalvalta5231 u guys really missed the fact he has to look after his mum
@@malmsey1541 I didn't even know he existed 2 weeks ago.
Seems I have some catching up to do
..... you really are a hero to me Jimmer... you are fighting for your dreams out of a shed... really makes me feel humility... I really wish the best of success for you mate... I really do.
Someday Jimmy, you’ll have a nice house of your own.
Mike DEEZ why this comment? Just why
Mike obviously will never afford his own place and he is upset..
The circle of life, my kids one day will get my house to sell and benefit from :) just like i will with my parents...
Thats like the promissory joy of dying, watching everyone fight over what you left behind
@@mattfarrar5472crazy coming back to this now that he’s got his own place and a decent car!
It's crazy how much you can fit in that shed! Much love Jimmy, love watching your videos and streams
Current season is summer ........ " i don't know why its hot today" - Jimmy Broadbent
i see!
that's because he lives in England
it is supposed to rain up there.
It's over 30 degrees and air con doesn't exist other than in cars
summer in england is basically the same thing as early spring in plenty of countries so yeah, legit lol
from here, through da rona, into a house of his own and racing in real cars and even winning a championship. pretty dang neat for 4 years.
Holy crap, just like many others (judging from the comments), I assumed you just have the rig in the shed, not that you actually live there :O Fingers crossed the situation improves for you soon enough!
@Independent Yeah and some people love rv's but let's be honest, nobody wants that or this to be their only choice. But he has a growing channel and he is clearly ok with it so of course its ok but not for eternity
@Ranger I think the winters are fucking cold and the summers are fucking hot not sooo nice
Back here after Jimmer got the new house. Can’t wait for this to get recommended in the future.
Get yourself a portable air con unit, this heat isn't going anywhere.
Dangalf ... Pretty sure the heat will be gone in a month or two.
Like he said,its not going anywhere...would you wanna be hot for a month or two?
more like a day or two, we don't get >26C for prolonged periods, maximum 1 month, usually 2 weeks and then back to 20-26C until autumn.
Yeah seems like he could get a refrigerated AC window unit and it would be plenty. I didn't even see a fan in the room. Maybe Jimmy likes to sweat?
STURGOD BLADES & SMITHING Inc. Really? "The heats not going anywhere"? So it'll still be there in winter?
Just saying, but after years without playing anything and suffering from depression your content hooked me up in sim racing and somehow resurrected my passion for cars and driving again. Thanks.
Great video, Jimmer, and welcome back!
wasnt he away doing those vids with drivetribe?
Spain, he told it in the latest stream
Props to you Jimmy for being secure enough to expose part of your life to the public that could be easily criticized, and not giving a shit! Exemplifies true confidence!
Thanks for sharing. My poor desk mounted G27 is nothing compared to this stuff.
Porkhammer same my dude
Porkhammer but atleast your house is hmm..
My racing wheel in my lounge is pathetic compared to this!
the ascher racing wheel button plate alone costs like 3 to 4 times as much as a G27 (or G29). And you still need a wheel base and a wheel rim :-D
I've had the chance to test alot of high-end direct drive wheels that cost around 8000,- and trust me... You're missing out on nothing. Have a g29 myself.
And my desk is sturdy and a hella less wobbly than 90% of those rigs.
Your shed looks cozy! I’ve always been a fan of tiny homes so it was actually kind of cool to see how you utilized your space. Thanks for the wonderful content!
JIMMY IS BACK!!! LET THE THICC BEGIN
Ur fat
Ford galaxie Fan club! thicc*
I honesty thought I didn't have enough room for a sim rig but this inspired me to see you did so much with so little keep up the good work
The fastest shed in the wooorrrrllldddd. say in Clarkson voice :)
This guy is going to become a part of sim racing history, I can see it now walking through the museum in 2045, and here we have the original sim frame seat that Jimmy started with, mounted in a replica back shed and an audio clip of his mum bringing him supper and knocking on the shed mid race 🙂
Watch all your latest vids and wow never ever expected it to come from a shed what a guy and what a channel you have keep up the hard work
You're an humble person you know? Not because you live in a shed, but because you have no problem on showing you live in it...and even with all that personal problems you mention, you still make that awesome videos with a smile in yo face! Congrats my bro and i hope that life changes for you, u deserve it 👍
shedboi best boi
Some of the best things in the world come out of a shed! Now jimmys channel can be added to this list. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching jimmys content, and his enthusiasm when commentating at GTsport world tour at the ring was infectious!
I would like to see a behind the scenes of a stream. Welcome back jimmer!
When most youtuber compete to show off their hi-tec and clean set up..but here we are watching at humble jimmy showing his grateful shed with tremendous rig..bless you man for entertain us 🙏
You know when a brit is complaining about the heat its probably like 28 celcius.
Mate that's hot as fuck of course we complain ;)
CGR in Florida 28C is like a nice winter breeze
Here it more like 38C
@@allgaming4045 well I'm glad I don't have to deal with that!
its because of insulation in our houses trapping all the heat, plus we dont have air con
You mean 20 Celsius, 18's my max
Wow dude props to you. You've gone this far from a shed dude!awesome
I’m in me mums shed,vroom vroom
Get out me shed!!
AaaAAh!
holy shit it fits perfectly
Can't say I'm jealous of your living situation, but you're doing something you love, which is probably more important.
You seem like a dedicated guy Jimmer keep up the good work
Quote: '...mediocre...'
There's nothing mediocre about being THE best sim racer and doubly nothing mediocre about also producing THE best videos on the subject. I've yet to find a single one of your presentations that wasn't absorbing, inspiring, educational, fun and, not least, so darn frustrating because I'm always forced to accept that I'll never get anywhere near your skills with the wheel and pedals, not to mention being able to describe every significant moment in detail whilst doing it.
Many thanks for those videos and for the tour, Jimmy!
That smile in the thumbnail..........
*It gave me nightmares*
And so after about a year of watching through the *suggested videos* bar on the right, it was THIS video that earned you my subscription. At 28 i had to go live in my parents cellar for nearly a year, hard times come and go quicker than you think. 10 years later, I find myself living in France, i have a wife, 2 kids, a job, a house, and life is sweet. No need to keep the chin up ALL the time, but just keep plodding on, and do what you love, things work out for the best eventually.
I always thought you lived in a flat, but after seeing this, oh man I wouldn't like to live in such a tiny place. Hope you move to a better (and bigger) place, great video as always.
One word . Inspiring . Living beneath your means and being yourself. Path to happiness
If you came up with some merch I'd probably buy something. You can turn this channel into a buisness Jimmer

Thanks for having us over, James.
Now for you, I bring you some red hot racing socks 🧦
If this corona thing ever freaking ends, I'll get you an actual new par like the ones I use for my aiming pleasure, it's a new thing, but I enjoy the feedback after driving a semi in steel toed shoes for 9 hours a day on the average.
"A bin that needs emptying full of beer cans, because I'm an absolute lad" - Broadbent, 2018
Unbelievable. Much respect for living in a tiny place like that, let alone sharing it with the world.
Amazing you 'made it' out of there!
oooohhh i love that you've got a sneaky lil bottle of whisky next to the rig
Just discovering your channel, and really enjoying your content. I put off gaming for the last 7 years due to having children. My daughter doesn't show any interest in gaming, though my son who is almost 5 now has discovered games via our iPad, and I am eager to get back at it again with my new partner! I was very fond of sim games flying, as well as racing, and watching your channel has given me a good idea of what I would like to gather to get back at it. Thanks, and I'll be watching.
I'm sure you have a nice Mom who let's you stay in the shed but I sincerely hope that you can afford a bigger space for yourself. Love your vids. Keep going!
Man you have my highest worship. You have a soul of samurai. I can see this kind stuff mostly in Japan. Give everything to your passion, even if it costs you a lot. I wish you a great luck and success in your stuff.

I'm in quite a struggle at this moment in my life. Soon i'll also live in my mums house for a while to get things sorted out. I hope i can get back to simracing one day. You, Jimmer, really inspiring me. Thank you man and all the best for you.
Who knew the best sim racing content on the planet comes out of a British lady’s garden shed? Btw we must have been separated at birth Jimmer because we organize the exact same way 🤯😂✌🏿👍🏿 #nopunterino
British motor racing was pretty much born in a series of sheds.
It seems quite fitting
Proper man cave. Remember. Lots of successful people started in shed/garage. Good luck!
Hi Jimmer, I received my GNS shirt in the post yesterday, and I just wanted to say, great job on the design, it looks awesome
I remeber years ago I saw this video and was telling people "I'd never go with this much, but this is what a good sim rig looks like." Just finished building my RigMetal extrusion rig and mounting heusinkveld sprints and handbrake.
You’re the man Jimmy, respect from Texas
Surprised some triggered liberals haven’t commented yet!
Midiocre is not how I would describe you, incredibly entertaining and great fun along with being well able to push a car around a track. After many years of pouring stupid amounts of money into real life motorsport and after many years of feeling crap about no longer being able to afford it you have given me the inspiration to get a steering wheel back in my hands and at least have some fun in a virtual racing world. Immensely enjoyable videos fueled by a passion for motorsport that effortlessly flows out of you...thank you Jimmy you bloody legend
What a yoke
Fernando Alonso what a joke
5 seconds is a yoke
Absolute yoke
Thought I was the only one Alonso pronounced joke like dat
Best chassis on the grid
Jimmy, I love your videos, and your passion for everything racing comes through massively. It takes courage to show the man behind the curtain, so to speak, and if you live in a shed for now, then your the #1 simracing guru followed by 1/10th of a million people that lives in a shed... I don't ever see you bitching, and you have a positive attitude, so you just keep doing you. -Sean in the USA...
I want to know the Jimmy Broadbent origin story now
How open can someone be. Wow! I can only say that I respect you Jimmy with this video. I never would have thought you came out of a tuff part of life. The day everything will fall in to place will come for you. You are a bright, friendly guy, and willing to work hard. Hope to see you in a F1/Formula Renault lobby one day at iRacing. Keep up the great work! 🤗🤗🤗
I just recently started following, but you seem like a very warm person for someone living in such conditions. Hope life treats you better one day.
"Welcome back to real life... UUGH"
I'd kill to have a 'Race Shed'. You're lucky man. I know thing may seem bad now but you are surrounded by what you love.
That shed is worth more than my entire house.
Been there too and did a similar thing for 2+ years (and I was older than you are now but I got through it and have my own place again). Sometimes difficult circumstances happens in life. All the best to you Jimmy and I can see you getting to a million subs. Love your channel and your positive vibe. Now I'm subbing!
*"Andrzej Sapkowski's The Last Wish"*
Ah, I See You're a Man of Culture As Well...
Thank you for shedding some light on your racing environment. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there so to speak. It's amazing that your video content is such quality considering you live in a shed. Kudos to you Jimmy. Thank you so much for all the excellent videos. Keep em coming mate. Well done!
One of the more 'interesting' cockpit tours out there...
The fact that you now have an official driver champion title against your name is amazing to where you have come from
Show em some love so he can move out that shed and get s himself a proper flat!
From shed boi to now a house boi. Amazing, Jimmer.
Lol I literally lived on the street and went through trash cans. I literally lived in 650k dollar homes and was fed high class meals. I traveled and did random garbage things. Lived with my dad in mid 20's, who knows, maybe it'll happen again! I carried my computer down the street to hide it somewhere safe because I didn't know where else to put it, one day.
I earned money and spanged for money (panhandling).
I've flown signs, and also sold business deals.
While homeless, I also had like 3 jobs and side gig's, while ALSO selling stuff. I've literally had NO job and stayed in a home for years.
WHO THE HELL CARES
You can't tell me different, that shed looks pretty chill to me.....
To see you make incredible videos out of a shed that you live in, and remain so positive about what you do is so inspiring. I've been in a low place recently so to see something like this really tells me I can achieve what I want to as long as i am passionate about it. Thank you, Sir, for your humility and humanity.
