Meet the YouTuber who lives in a shed but owns an R32 Skyline GT-R

Mike took a trip down to the south coast of England to catch up with Jimmy Broadbent, a sim racing KZbinr who has built an incredibly successful channel - from a shed at the bottom of his mum's garden. But it turns out Jimmy very much has his priorities straight, seeing as he owns a mint Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R. That's about as good as man maths can possibly get.

So much respect and love for Jimmer the Shed dweller. A petrol head in the purest form. Never stop being you Jimmy! (Also. I've sat on that very same bench in Hastings!)

[@smeggy22]

Kudos to Jimmy for acknowledging where he came from, the struggles he’s faced. I wish more people were open about those things, so we can move beyond any taboo’s!

[@eX0dusmods]

Pride is a terrible thing sometimes. I think everyone should be comfortable opening up about mental health issues like depression, it affects loads of people and it’s always nice to know someone is going through the same thing as you

[@danieladriangonzalez4470]

This man literally proves that just as long as you are happy and are focused in what you want to do. bad situations can turn into the best situations. Respect to him for never giving up.

Jimmy is one of those perfect pure souls who seems to only want the best for everyone and himself and I think we should all take from jimmy he’s truly a great person

I’ve been around dirt oval racing for 32 years and I’m finally leaning into my love of the sport to make the transition from spectator to driver. Long road ahead and a TON to learn but this video is motivating to know that it’s possible to use such a tool and learn what you can in the virtual world to hopefully get an opportunity to do what you love in real life. Bonus, you get to learn a few things before wrecking your own car in real life :S Thank you for the content and congrats on your continued success! ...To the track I go!!

[@JReaLBiz86]

I came across Jimmy about 3 or 4 years ago. The channel was still pretty young at the time. I've realized that over the years, Jimmer is the only KZbin simracer that I consistently follow. I watched the video he made when he bought his dream car. I watched the videos of his go karting. I've seen him in a McLaren race car. I've watched him drive around the Nordschleife. To say that Jimmy is an inspiration doesn't do justice to the journey I've watched him go through. Jimmy Broadbent is the guy who proved to me that having a passion can change your life. Kudos, Jimmy. Kudos.

[@henrykjachimski3650]

I discovered Jimmy about two years ago, accidentally coming across one of his streams and almost straight away, I was hooked up. I kept on watching the videos with his commentary and kept on tuning into streams. When I found out, that outside KZbin he built a Discord community, I immediately decided to join it and until today I'm happy and honoured to be a part of it. All this time I kept on observing how much his community kept on growing and I kept rejoicing for more and more opportunities that opened before him: be it commentary for GT Sport events, opportunities to try different racing cars irl (like McLaren 570S GT4, Audi RS3 TCR) new fun sim-racing events (including those for charity, like 23 Hours of Zolder race for mental health) or his ever-growing career in Club 100. And knowing from where he came from, how much he struggled earlier really shows the way he has come. I think his success lies in the fact how natural, warm and humble guy he is. Just keep on being yourself, Jimmy!
