Archie Hamilton cancelling his RS6 and plans to buy one used instead...

It's tough when you don't know where the next car is coming from He has the M8, the A45S, the GT3 RS... I guess the depreciation will kick in too sharply - like his brief ownership of the 'new' Range Rover SVR. Can't stand the clickbait titles these lot do.

The M8 is almost definitely going to be a loan car. He never mentioned wanting one previously but suddenly is having one delivered soon. That is about as likely as me being the F1 world champion this year.

The RS6 is a car he thought he could get into and out of like the previous generation for a very small sum of money. The UK car market has changed very dramatically over the last few years and now he is realising that this could be a very nasty financial bath.

Seem to be a lot of heavily discounted M8’s being discussed on Instagram.

I have customers who have RS6's on order, being offered deals at the point of ordering of £10-11k off the list price, which is circa £110k.

Rory Reid doing some nice work for the Auto trader channel now I like his presenting style, always felt he got short changed on Top Gear seemed to mostly be given the less interesting stuff to review.

Sorry, he was terrible in top gear. That’s all I’ll say.

I’m now even more confused. His GT3 RS is still for sale as well with Duncan Hamilton.

“Should I take delivery of my RS6?” No, scrap it, bin the M8 unless it’s a long term loan, get rid of the A35 and keep the A45 as the only daily whilst putting the rest of the money into racing! I thought that was the point anyway.

Loved Jayemm’s video on the XJ, what a lovely example! I enjoyed the Range Rover mini series as well

Archie loves to overspend, he'd do well as a consultant for HS2 The A35 has conveniently arrived at Tony's (Gravelwood, Kent), I think the M8 is due for March, but thought he was keeping the GT3 RS for the summer. He should take the awful tyre writing off it, though.

At one point, I thought he was cutting down to one car to put money into racing, but he's going to have 4 cars at this rate... plus buy a new racing simulator, and go race with Porsche. Hopefully he won't hit a wall early on like he did in Paris last year

This ladies and gentleman is the owner of classic parade. The the 'largest fleet of supercars to hire in the UK' that doesn't own a single car and loves taking peoples money.
He's an absolute cancer.

Straight... utter twunt. A mouth like the Hatfield Tunnel, bullst quota is off the scale and nil integrity. His like is not required on YT.

Tbh even Chris Harris has a somewhat forced persona on Top gear. I hadn't seen it in a while and watched on Sunday, why they keep trying to
recreate the camaraderie that Clarkson May and Hammond had is beyond me...it just doesn't work so I wouldn't hold his time on Top gear against Reid.

Collecting Cars (Chris Harris podcast) have done a YouTube walk around at Retro Mobile in Paris. It is exceptional.

I went on his site and he has a Sian for rent lol. That should be the biggest red flag that it's a scam site. I also read through the Google reviews for Classic Parade and it seems like he scammed a lot of people out of deposits for cars that didn't exist and his rental company isn't even registered.

He also made videos about Aleem and wow is this guy messed up. I'm shocked TGE filmed content with him.

LLF popped up on my feed yesterday. I know he's not popular here but crikey he's done well. 280k subs and regularly pulling impressive viewing figures. Must be one of the best performing uk channels?

Adam LZ drifting his 350Z around Cleetus' Freedom Factory was pretty entertaining, nice to see a collab between those two too. Much prefer watching either of them than the UK 'Supercar' lot

Did you try traveling in the back..if you could fit there anyway?

I spent all my time in the back. I'm 5ft 11", the driver is 6ft 7" and my other work mate is 6ft 3" so as the midget, I'm relegated to behind the passenger. Nobody is getting behind the driver!

I like Cleetus for the "not taking life too seriously" attitude, whereas I find Adam LZ tries to do the same, but fails. Definitely preferable to a lot of the incredibly dry and dull UK scene though
