Can honestly say we had more people at our village fete. Less cream, more teas.

No idea who this DMO guy is but clicked on the video and skipped through it. Knobfest. First thought that came into my head.

You’re not wrong.

He certainly is, but I think most of us believe we are on top of it until it hits us when we don't expect it.....!!
With a few other comments he's made in recent podcasts about his workload and lifestyle, and various posts on IG etc, I don't think he has the best diet either.


I may sound like his Mum here, but I'm certain not the only one who has been there and got that T shirt.

I skipped through a Shmuseum video the other day when Tom refurbed the Merc wheels. I know Tim had just got off a plane but the 'reveal' at the airport was rather uncomfortable watching as Tim seemed like he really didn't care or just couldn't be bothered to play along with the 'surprise'.

Yes I thought the same, however it does seem to show honesty that he didn't know before hand.

I am not sure why he does not take a break, nothing worthwhile has been posted on the museum channel for ages.

He would be better to post a new video when real progress has been made on the garage.

He seemed knackered in the Clio video.

He has had this eye issue before I am positive, he has been all over, and where has he been since he returned from the USA, the most recent video he's off to German with his GT4.

I know his manager talked about everyone wanting Tim to have more time off, this was in 2019 I think on an interview, I think the interview was with the two guys that also do that competition where you can win a car and £50k in the boot (I cannot remember the name) but If I remember correctly last year was when it was going to happen and I suspect this is where the garage came in, he wouldn't have to travel all over the world as much and could spend more time at home, but Covid would have put a stop to that, he needed content and had paid a lot of money for a working USA visa.

I think as he has said in the interview with the guys I mentioned above and also the interview he did a couple of months back with the ex-5th gear guy, that when he's not on the video it doesn't do well, I think he is maybe finding it hard to take a step back.

Ages ago all the youtubers went to a McLaren launch/event somewhere (not in the UK) and I think it was on a Emma Walsh video (she was at the event also) where she did of the event that when on the flight back everyone that was there was on the plane sleeping etc but Tim was editing, emailing, creating social media content, planning etc, he just didn't stop and he said that it was the best time to get this sort of work done.

As mentioned above in the video about the wheels on the Merc, I would imagine they would have had to get a ok to do a video on their own from Tim, I did think that Tom (the main guy with the beard) was very good at the wheel company, in his interviewing style and getting the details from the guy working there.

There must be a huge amount of pressure on Tim really when you think about it, he is a one person business that employs five or more other people and just one wrong word or comment could cause it to come crashing down, the same for all the creators, last year with Covid most people, well everyone took a hit, hence the USA trip for what six months to keep content going, I know he's not well liked here, but you have to give him credit imo.

I hate it and love it at the same time

If you mean the 308 then #MeToo.

I hugely admire the talent involved in what he's doing, I'll never be a fan of ripping out engines, but the new engine is sexy as fook too.

[pincher]

I think it’s a stretch to say he’s not well liked here - he divides opinion but I believe that, for the most part, his insightful contributions are missed.

Yep. Struggling a bit myself at the moment, inconsistent weather means plans keep changing so my rest days become work days, then I keep getting worried how much else will get canned so I keep filming more. We're on the home stretch till Christmas though and I have a couple of weeks planned off here and there so genuinely looking forward to that.

Have actually got to a couple of car meets of late and although it may seem like a busman's holiday, absolutely loved them and getting to talk to people (subscribers and muggles alike).

Burnout always a concern though and I am sure Tim will be on top of it, he is fairly level headed

Some of the biggest channels in the world make a video a month, I'm not sure I get this desire for near daily content.

It's not sustainable and the audience eventually tires of it.

[614-HSO]

I was wondering, how much does a tire changing machine cost and they seem to be pretty simple to use, it would only be the balancing that would be a bit more tricky, but I was thinking, would it not be worth Tim getting one for the garage?

Also I was thinking, why not get another set of wheels and put some of those just legal tires on that are nearly slicks and just get a trailer and tow the GT4 for example with the G63 then have the normal tires in the trailer, do some laps of the track and then switch the wheels over and drive the car home and on the autobarn.

Couple of grand for a tyre machine and balancer.

I don’t think many multi-supercar owners will bother changing their own tyres mind.

more max power than max power ever was. if that lot are his target audience no wonder they are stupid enough to give him all that cash

At least Max Power had some good looking girls or even just some girls. That looks like a sausage fest!

In the video when he last drove to Germany Shmee says in the video how tired he is then proceeds to drive 2,500 miles

He'll more than likely be going with Puppi so will split the driving

[Meridius]

I see Archie has just bought an RS6 out of nowhere and a £5000 carbon bicycle. Hope he's not going to waste his inheritance.

That's really great news. Definitely deserves it. Still find it impressive he does so much of the work himself. Seems like such a nice and honest chap and I've really felt for him on all those occasions when it has gone a bit wrong.

Need to strike while the iron is hot, time for a Ferrari 308 wrap.

The RS6 was planned a while back so not a surprise and a £5k bike is probably not breaking the bank for him.

OK TGE.

You take your opinions, and I'll take mine.

I definitely think he/you/TGE was trying to make out that he was bigger and better than little old JayEmm.

"Are you excited to be on TGE TV?"
"We have a slight crossover audience, only you do the older quirky stuff" (i.e. you don't/didn't get supercars like I do)
"Bit weird, dunno who you are mate"

etc etc.

Think you've had a parrot moment tbh.
