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.
It's a shame really as some of the content he churns out could be quite good. He just doesn't have the right presence in front of camera, and is awkward. The content is really samey. He clearly enjoys road tripping and quality hotels (mr and mrs smith experiences etc), he could carve a really good niche concentrating on that and having a good time in the process, rather than copying TGE with his crass money orientated content while driving to work.

TGE is bloody awful, so monetised now as well

I don't mind TGE, he's definitely got himself a niche and his audience are very receptive to his selling which in turn pays for the cars, but not everyone can get away with it and Phil dressing like TGE and buying TGE's old cars does himself no favours. Fair enough, he might like to wear those clothes, but it just smacks of trying to be someone he isn't.

Looking forward to watching Shmee's content when he get's his Solar Beam Yellow one delivered smile. What a car, a keeper for sure! Black series always go above and beyond, wonderful things.

There’s always one. Maybe just try to be happy for him and what he’s achieved?
I'm not a subscriber of Tim's content but he comes across as a decent bloke who has worked hard for his success..strange how some people begrudge that.

Belittling someone else's success doesn't make you more successful.

Having seen the images of the car doing the rounds on various car peoples social media, imagining it in solar beam yellow, it’s going to be stunning

It is typical of English people not celebrate others success.

Oh lighten up!

Did I say I wasn't happy for him? That I don’t enjoy what he has achieved? Just because I am Not joinIng the queue to suck his plums Because he was in an online advert for a car that people that don’t have million pound houses cant afford.

It’s a cool thing to feature in for sure, but Tim is sufficiently switched on to know that the people actually buying that car won’t be doing so because a hooded shmee is pretending to Pap it.

For those that took offence to the shark jumping comment, thank you for making a equally absurd leap from a gentle did at a small piece of Mercedes marketing And turning it into me making a jealous personal attack on Tim.

As he says. Cheeers!

He has done very well, i don't watch his videos because just not my thing really, i prefer the ones PHers don't like, but i think the good thing is youtube there is so much choice. Definitely a watershed moment.

I unsubscribed from his channel quite a bit back , just not my cup of tea anymore, JWW is heading the same way for me , I started to skip through his content now , no doubt I’ll unsubscribe soon there as well.

Do I begrudge them their respective success, not at all , long may it continue for them both of them.

Prefer watching Harry now , maybe it’s just an age thing.

You had better get one now Tim!!!!!
The video pretty much confirms he got his name on the list alright!

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

hehe
I'd imagine he's getting a hefty discount after starring in that vid. And why not, good for him.

I very much doubt they'll be selling him one now after he broke into their premises and stole one for a joyride! Especially while wearing that fetching cagoule.

I don't watch as much as I used to as I'm not so interested in rich people's car collections or the 'first look' stuff of supercars but I realise many do. I do enjoy the track stuff and I think that's a smart move to keep the content variety.

I do think the A45 video rammed home a bit too far how much Tim still truly, completely, absolutely and definitely still loves AMG in response to him cancelling his order!

Interesting to read the comments across social media on the leaked pictures of the GTR Black Series. Seems like a lot of people are disappointed with the looks, not aggressive enough. Others prefer the SLS black series which imo looks better and is probably one of the best looking modern Mercedes model.

Rear/ sides/ bonnet looks great imo, but the front bumper isn’t quite there for me. GTR Pro front bumper looks more aggressive.

Great 812 video from Harry, classic road trip review to the South of France.
