Well that AMG black series Ad is a helluva way to tell your viewers you're getting one lol. Congrats Tim, the car is insane.

He has clearly worked very hard and done well for himself, with a fantastic collection of cars. But he doesn’t come across very well on his YouTube channel imo

Starring in the advert for a new halo car from AMG. Now THAT is ‘next level’

Good advert and clever marketing in fairness and I enjoyed sinister hoody Shmee quite a lot!

The hoodie look suits you, Tim!

Imagine him coming on here now saying ‘sorry lads, couldn’t get an allocation, local dealer let me down’

Quality influencing from Tim on the Merc ad.

Show's the way the world is going, I literally couldn't tell you who Lewis Hamilton's team mate in the Mercedes F1 team was (fingers crossed LH still drives for Mercedes since I last watched an F1 race) but if I saw that advert randomly on the tv or on Youtube I'd think 'Bloody Hell it's Shmee' and it would make me notice the advert and probably not click the 'Skip Ad' button.

Any one follow the boqer123 channel? I use to follow for the bmx content but quite a heavy switch to cars now

I do, although I no longer ride BMX. I was surprised when he sold his 260Z though. It could have been an epic track car and way cooler than the Seat. The welded diff in the 36 makes me cringe though.

He seems like a really nice guy. He invited me up to the last car show but I couldn't make it. Hope to go next time.

I think he just realised that the 260Z was never going to be finished, you could almost see the relief in his face as he watched it drive away on the trailer. What he has done to the E36 makes me cringe, but this is why any remaining unmolested decent cars are going to be worth big money in a few years.

Overall I like his video's, the whole Facture Projects drama was interesting to watch!

He doesn't seem to do much with the guy who owned the garage in gloucester ( tom ?) anymore .

Correct I'm surprised it's taken so long although Tim is a very rare youtuber in that he's not controversial. A safe pair of hands for any brand. A big brand has a lot to loose by partnering with unsuitable people with an independent platform. Most of the car youtubers are in done way or other a bit disfunctional. JWW is probably the only other one that's "clean" enough for this type of deal. Probably already evidenced by the wrapping and oxford businesses with him as front of house.

It probably won't be able to from the factory - just a way of life with Euro 6 compliance - too many sound absorbing items interrupting the flow of those V8 exhaust gases between cylinder head and tailpipe

Hopefully an aftermarket exhaust from renntech would sort that out right away

[Mezzanine]

Here comes the inevitable tabloid rise ‘n’ fall of the big screen star!

First, there are reports he has those trademark teeth insured for $100 million. Each.

Then the celebrity marriage. She will be slightly too young but we will conveniently gloss over that fact for too many years.

Lots of yachts.

Huge addiction to something. Probably monogrammed Speedo’s.

Continued murmurs that he is actually a massive international smiling assassin.

Huge public meltdown, in which several tabloids openly report Tim actually drives a shoddy fourth-hand Seat Alhambra and doesn’t actually smile 24 hours a day.

The eventual return to public life, after several years in rehab, where he retreats to his humble roots of happily running around London filming a slightly used Ferrari with a dodgy personalised plate but enjoying the freedom of life without having to read YouTube comments.

Was he the chap cutting huge sections off a 190 Merc and talking about it being some sort of DTM homage? I remember thinking at the time, that it had the makings of an eBay 'unfinished project must go' type build.

I stumbled across MoreThanCars the other day. The thumbnail of the video was an image of a bloke with a side parting who looks 10 years older than he probably is, not one ounce of coolness, surrounded by Louis Vuitton bags, sat in what I assume was a hotel room somewhere. He obviously has a huge ego and isn't afraid to tell everyone.

He just comes across as desperate to be TGE, it's quite cringe-worthy to be honest. Spits out loads of content of which very few people actually watch.

Somewhere in the AMG marketing dept a shark is being jumped over..

No , don't think so .

He had bleached black hair , always looked like he should be in a rock band but he was quiet and pretty laid back.

He had a Honda then flogged it and got a BMW

There’s always one. Maybe just try to be happy for him and what he’s achieved?
