Not wishing to join to the e-rimming he gets on here, but TGE is about the only one I can watch and not have a desire to punch my laptop to bits.
Probably one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about me. Beautiful words sir, thank you.I think the Archie dislike may stem from the fact he seems to be almost playing the YouTube thing as a formulaic manual. 'Successful vloggers have X so I will do exactly X with none of my own twist or stamp on it'. It's horrendous level of clickbait on Mo Vlogs levels. That's what put me off him, I have no doubt he's a personable chap in reality but for me has played the YouTube game all wrong.
TGE has been my favourite since he started. His background is relatively clear unlike most YTubers with dubious back stories, his videos are very well shot, has very similar humour to me and has a constant array of changing cars/watches = winner
STG is second. However it seems odd how is subscriber level seems to have stalled. He's making incredibly well shot videos and has tried to be outside the box with innovative challenge videos etc but doesn't seem to have translated in to increased subs.
Will always rate Shmee for kick starting all this off. I remember him posting photos in the spotted thread back when he had a R8 or Vantage (can't remember).

I quite like some of the content MR JWW is putting out at the moment. He seems like an affable chap with a good balance of knowledge/personality without being over the top and shouty (ArchieKartRacing).
He's also doing a few different interesting things, instead of just the media launch days.
DVLA plate auction was quite interesting and alarming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z610IKfnsbE

Archie frustrates me. Someone with his background, wealth, racing experience should be putting out superb content. He could be continuing his grandfather's legacy... but instead he gets his hands on a new supercar and spends the first video creaming himself over the indicators. What a waste.

100% that.plus I'd far rather have the Corvette over the R8.... All this "it's a no brainer" rubbish... rule no.1 for a supercar - it must look like a supercar not like a squashed white good.
It's a no brainer if you want to brag about the sparkly lights and gizmos, and the fact it has a Lambo engine....
Also, he bought it with silver wheels and thought it a good idea to paint them black?! wtf? now it looks like it has no wheels...
no...unsubscribed...maybe I'll revisit if he comes through with more content that utilises his racing skills.
I unsubscribed from Seb and Shmee too....I need a de-tox..and cleanse... I enjoyed the 911R on the Turini...but for the time being I can't take it anymore
Great that it's free though...good luck to all of them I say.
Even the really, REALLY rubbish ones, it takes a big chunk of effort to regularly post stuff.
Seb Delanney seems quite lost when he's not collabing with the others. He (his parents) 'hired' an 'editor' recently which is understandable as he's very busy doing, erm, dunno. That guy's brought a drone and some colour grading to the table. Looks like Seb was a bit lonely and wanted a friend so his parents bought him one. It's also good for his ego because he thinks he's (a Poundland version of) Jon Olsson who is actually busy and rich enough to pay someone to help him.

Very much this - I don't doubt he's a nice guy, but he doesn't bring anything new to the table. Horrendous click-bait titles, buy new supercar, wrap said supercar, sell said supercar, rinse and repeat. He's wrapped his A45 about 3 times now I think?!BlueHave said:

Contrary to popular believe, actually that's wrong! My channel gets about 25% views from subscribers right now, which means around 6,000,000 views a month from people who I guess are new to the channel.

I think that’s what I just said on the previous page.Archie needs to sit down and have a good look at himself. He has had a load of criticism on YouTube for the use of Click bait and other misdemeanors.
As you and I have said, he is in a massively privileged position to be able to produce original content that the others would kill for, but I think he feels his current audience would not follow that change in direction.
I suspect his farther would have some great stories to tell about the cars he has sourced, I would love to hear about how he brought the ROFGO Gulf collection together http://gtspirit.com/2011/05/12/rofgo-gulf-collecti... But I suspect this would go over the heads of his current subscribers

Not new Tim, I've just not subscribed to anyone (in fact I'm not even sure you can through Apple TV, but I'm probably wrong about that).
Hey it's a formula that clearly works for you, so don't change it! (Especially the non- beard!)

Really enjoyed the Vanquish Zagato video Tim, it's such a beautiful car, so many nice touchs (the lights in particular) and your enthusiasm came through 
I still can't understand people ordering the one-77 steering wheel though, it makes sense on a track car where you dont vmove your hands. But on a Vanquish??
