Great vid. Loved the concept, maybe a new series Calvin? Visit other independent dealers around the uk, see their stock, the history of the business and their own experiences in the motor trade
Absolutely loved the car dealer bantöR here, gents. This is a genuine insight into the Archie’s new professional life and despite the constant jokes between you, video really made me want to buy a motor from either of you. Probably need a new job if I’m to get one off AH though 😅
What a great video Calvin, you and Archie are so great together, who would have thought, keep the vids coming, great laugh but also some serious stuff loved it
Respect to Archie for what he’s pulled off on his own , also to Calv he a geeza but can fit in a colab with anyone another person have so much respect for never blames anyone else for circumstances just gets on with it
Nope. He’s definitely never known a real “I have no money” moment in his life. Doesn’t take away from the amazing achievement and what he’s doing though.
Having a “I have no money” moment is a gift that gives you drive. I was lucky enough to be blessed with being absolutely skint for the first half of my life. I absolutely rate anyone who is hasn’t had that experience but still has drive to achieve. That there is a true grafter 💯
Nice lad Archie certainly realizing that it’s very difficult in the car trade not being on the back of his father, now he’s on back of every one else hope he makes it tho it’s not easy I started with one universal credit payment I now have 52 cars jobs solid
You didn't just buy a car from Archie - you gave him a full free lesson on how to buy a used car and how the tools of the trade work - you're such a generous man! Nice one Calv!
You can hear the pain in his voice that he has to mature and sell all his fun cars! Props to Archie, never liked him but thats changed! Good luck with the business.
The biggest problem with car dealers is that you don't service or repair the cars you buy. You need to make them perfect to justify the money you ask for them. REPAIR THE CARS, DO FULL SERVICE, DO FULL INSPECTION AND CHECK, REPAIR OR REPLACE TRACK ROAD ENDS, etc. Every car dealer is just selling old cars with many faults with expectations to make money and people to give a good feedback but this is not happening in real world! Repair the cars you are selling, and you buy second hand !!!! People in the UK do not service or repair their cars!!!!!
Wow I can remember when I used to live in Bagshot and Duncan Hamilton showroom was in the middle of Bagshot. I used to visit regularly as he had vechicles like Aston Martin Lagonda in the showroom it was Amazing 😎
Good video lads , just Do a mileage check with Archie 😂17k miles could mean 57k , saying one lady owner is like going off that glazer valuation book car traders used in the 90’s lol ,, 👍🏻 ,
@CarsofGlasgow he's basically saying archie hasn't had to work for anything in life because of his daddy's money but you can't blame archie for that can you wouldn't every kid love to have no struggles in life ..
Nice video if you could go back in 6 months or 12 months time to see how he’s getting on and see if he has changed his mind about selling cars or see if he has any stories to tell seems like a nice down-to-earth guy even with the back ground he has. Also, who does the jaguar? E type belong to Imran Khan the cricket player? Great video keep them rolling 👏🏽👍🏽🤜🏽🥂😂😂
Coo! Takes me back to my time starting out selling new and used cars in the late ‘70’s. Nothing as exotic unfortunately. I understand the point about tyre kicking time wasters completely. Used to call them JLM’s for “just looking mate”. Qualifying the customer as to what they were after and how much they had to spend is something that only comes with experience. Enjoy the journey. It’s a great job but a sh.. way of earning a living.
Watching this video Calvin i noticed you had a job to get any time to talk with Archie going on a bit 😂😂😂. Great video as always Calvin keep up the great content and try and get a chance to talk in your own videos in future with Archie 😂😂.
Really enjoyed watching this video. Albeit a very surprising collab, but Calvin and Archie linking up made for a great conversation. You can tell Calvin did his research on Archie regarding his background (career/family life) which made for a very free-flowing and authentic conversation. CCD Podcast soon? - All the best AH.
That's standard unfortunately. They have a monopoly on trusted dealer platforms and because of that they can get away with absolutely milking their customers dry
@@CalvinsCarDiaryCalvin it’s time you created an alternative, we spent 4K this month on it and I really don’t feel like even advertising on there anymore.
@@bencocker7487the trouble is there are still dodgy people on there, I could name the person that I bought a car from on auto trader, meant to be a trusted trader and still done us over, he even got a girl to take her faulty car back and said he would transfer her money back, she never did.
I just can’t fathom how you can pull together a setup like that with ‘nothing’. Not just anyone can rock up to the local bank and get £1m+ credit for stock, surely there must be a wedge of cash come from somewhere or at least a wealthy guarantor? .. looks great though 👍🏼
This Archie is a great guy by the looks of it good to watch but a tad funny to hear he started it with no help literally 0 money from scratch but he funded it with his super cars that obviously came from the family heritage 😂 not knocking him at all just it wasn’t exactly from broke now was it
Lovely stock and to be honest a great way to sell these cars as the period they depreciate Archie loses nothing but has the opportunity to buy low. I think that jag needs a car vertical check though calv, 8,000 miles in 27 years 😂
Easy £2k profit given away. Don’t give your part exchanges away, it’s one of the most most profitable areas of your business. I’ve been retailing cars since I was 21 (now 49) and Calvin hasn’t got a clue
It was so cool meeting up with Archie. I absolutely rate what he’s doing 👏🏼

Hello Calvin I’ve contacted your company but no luck I’ve got a b5 rs4 and she’s an absolute stunner
You interested in an audi s4 b6 auto...???
Great Video Calv
Thanks for coming down mate ❤
Best of luck with your new venture Archie! Some awesome stock. Looking forward to hearing progress!
@@MatthewsTechHubvery kind of you sir. Thank you!
Amazing setup Archie! We deffo need to do more together 💯
@@CalvinsCarDiary Yeh this is a new UA-cam partnership in the making for sure! Good vibes between you in different spaces of the market 👌🏼
@ArchieHamiltonRacing Great chemistry between you pair, Archie & Calvin. 💯
Not all heroes wear capes Calv. Looked like Archie really appreciated the years of knowledge you've gained in the business.
Great vid. Loved the concept, maybe a new series Calvin? Visit other independent dealers around the uk, see their stock, the history of the business and their own experiences in the motor trade
Archie has got to be one of the most nicest guys!
💯
Calvin & Archie = Vibes. The link up we didn't know we needed. Nice one!

Nice to see archie stepping up to the plate for the family name and maturing as a businessman, thumbs up from the old man I bet 👍
Love this comment. Couldn’t agree more. He’s doing his family proud ❤
You two both clapped at the beginning!!!!!
I know we didn’t even realise until we edited the vid! It was perfect! 😂😂
What a great video Calvin, you and Archie are so great together, who would have thought, keep the vids coming, great laugh but also some serious stuff loved it

This is gold. You two have great on screen chemistry!!!! Love this ep.
Great episode Calvin, enjoyed that!

Most people who are handed money lose it, so those who manage to grow that is actually rare.
Fantastic advice, Calin !!! It's good to help and advise people
Really enjoyed that vlog Calvin... Archie has some fabulous and expensive stock there. 👍
Wait, an old cow shed, is he got the other half of Shmees place?
That’s what I was thinking but I think the door was in a different place.
Should’ve seen the state of it when he took it on. He’s transformed the place it looks unreal. You’d never know you was in an old farmyard 🔥
@@ShytedI thought that, and was trynna find the door seperating the 2 barns too
Different place, Shmee is near Epping, this is towards Southampton
@@xDAAAZExShmee is near Borehamwood in a place called Trotters Bottom.
Archie, great video with Calvin, you two need to do more together, never enjoyed a video so much in a while, please do more together.
Nice lad Archie certainly realizing that it’s very difficult in the car trade not being on the back of his father, now he’s on back of every one else hope he makes it tho it’s not easy I started with one universal credit payment I now have 52 cars jobs solid

Wow a sound fella. Loved the juke though 😂
You can hear the pain in his voice that he has to mature and sell all his fun cars! Props to Archie, never liked him but thats changed! Good luck with the business.
Really nice rapport between the two of you, cars always bring people together
He's so diddy!
You two need to do a collaboration. You bounce off each other. Great watch, great energy
Always thought of Archie as a buffoon hopefully he grows up and makes a success of his business
Loved that, both genuinely interested in each others business.
Great vid and I hope Archie does well in his new business venture
Nice link up, Archie always comes across as a genuinely nice chap 👍
Calvin this is great to see things like this. Keep in touch with Archie he’s a good guy you never know, you might be buying your next bmw m car haha 👍

You and Archie have to make more videos together! Calvin you never fail to make good content! Awesome work mate 👌
He's a good lad archie would like to see him doing taxi rides around British tracks . Great content cal 👏
Track day with Calvin? 👀 Thanks for the kind comment!
2 of the most genuine UA-camrs/car dealers around 🙌
Took me 5 seconds to ascertain the location just looking at the video. Scary world!
What a combo !
Both of you are top fellas !
Awesome content ! Archie seems like a nice lad. Hope he does well !
You were like 2 Brothers @ The Toy shop giggling away...Loved it 👍 Calvin I would give You £4,000 for that Juke, Do You deliver....Ni
Wow I can remember when I used to live in Bagshot and Duncan Hamilton showroom was in the middle of Bagshot. I used to visit regularly as he had vechicles like Aston Martin Lagonda in the showroom it was Amazing 😎
This was a good video mate :), great collab
Love your videos Calvin!
Good video lads , just Do a mileage check with Archie 😂17k miles could mean 57k , saying one lady owner is like going off that glazer valuation book car traders used in the 90’s lol ,, 👍🏻 ,
Never saw this collab coming but it works so well.
the cricket players name is Virat kholi one of the most famous players in history
Yeh he's worth about 90 million so 200 k tied up in a car is chicken feed.
Young Mr Hamilton seems to have found his niche! Great video
Quality video great seeing Archie and Calvin doing a deal 😂
Archie had nothing to start it 😂😂🤣🤣 give toney a call he would have a different view
It's not his fault though is it ...
what do you mean? Am I missing something?
@CarsofGlasgow he's basically saying archie hasn't had to work for anything in life because of his daddy's money but you can't blame archie for that can you wouldn't every kid love to have no struggles in life ..
He’s learning what work is clearly, least he’s doing something though to be fair he could sit back and do nothing in life but he’s not
@@mrbarney4176 get off his nuts my man its a joke just like toney takes the piss obviously you cant help what you inherit or are born into
When you 2 get passionate and excited. It looks like your guna bust out a dance off 😅
😂😂😂😂 waited whole video for that GTR. I guess it was a Nissan though 😆 great video, follow AH too, so hope the exposure helps his business too 🤞🏻💥💥💥
Something about that guy that just gets under my skin.
😂😂😂😂I thought I was the only one
Calvin ain’t that bad !
What's that
Great to listen a long to the conversation between two dealers! Would definitely like to see more like this Calv!
That was an ace video 🙌🏾
Got to be one of the funniest car deals I think I have seen ,🤣🤣
Archie's a little fecker, Calvin lol. " only 17,973 miles "... I'd already put it on Motorscan so I knew instantly, mate.
Nice video if you could go back in 6 months or 12 months time to see how he’s getting on and see if he has changed his mind about selling cars or see if he has any stories to tell seems like a nice down-to-earth guy even with the back ground he has.

Archie is such a great guy I tell ya I did not for 1 second think you would buy the juke
Big big Respect To Archie man he’s done a good job acquiring a dealership. One day will definitely buy from him good chap
Loved this ❤

Show room looks stunning!!!
He comes across as a genuinely nice bloke
Calvin you've raised my opinion on Archie being a far more real and genuine fella than those two bellend brothers he kicks around with
Love this two ❤
Watching this video Calvin i noticed you had a job to get any time to talk with Archie going on a bit 😂😂😂. Great video as always Calvin keep up the great content and try and get a chance to talk in your own videos in future with Archie 😂😂.
He was the guest. You hear me talk all the time. This video is the Archie show, if anything I should’ve let him talk more 👌
Your dealership is based in a cow barn like SHMEE 150s car collection
Two of the best guys on UA-cam
"Don't nick it"...... brilliant.
Great collaboration
Two sound fellas
You two are having far to much fun lol 😂😂
When two legends meet….
Archie got the sale, he can go on Holiday now 😂
Calvins a tall lad you know lol great video :)
Perfect timing at 0:00
Think mr Archie needs to get a new fake tanner

We're the last generation to appreciate the importance of legacy. God bless this new generation, their lost. 🙏
It seems Archie was wearing a polo neck during the spray tan.
cool collab guys
You two together are jokes 🤣👏🏼
Was the in sync clap to start choreographed?
Both great lads and good banter 👍
Calvin, did the cameraman have a few drinks before filming 😂😂
Great video
Autotrader costing 12k a month!!!!!
That's standard unfortunately. They have a monopoly on trusted dealer platforms and because of that they can get away with absolutely milking their customers dry
😫😫
@@CalvinsCarDiaryCalvin it’s time you created an alternative, we spent 4K this month on it and I really don’t feel like even advertising on there anymore.
I also follow Shifting Metal and he did a video recently talking about the costs of advertising with auto trader. Never knew it was sooo expensive.
@@bencocker7487the trouble is there are still dodgy people on there, I could name the person that I bought a car from on auto trader, meant to be a trusted trader and still done us over, he even got a girl to take her faulty car back and said he would transfer her money back, she never did.
Poverty is always relative and no less real
Id be careful coz that's classed as In propper use of CCTV
Brilliant video 😂

I believe it's alot of sale or return
Hope your new business kicks off for you mate .
That’s got to be the other half of Shmee’s place? Outside looks the same, inside is same design too.
It’s not it’s on His family land
Come on 2750 we call it a deal
Is that by Shmees cow shed
Would a mk3 tt look out of place ??
This Archie is a great guy by the looks of it good to watch but a tad funny to hear he started it with no help literally 0 money from scratch but he funded it with his super cars that obviously came from the family heritage 😂 not knocking him at all just it wasn’t exactly from broke now was it
Two salesman good luck both.
Calvin interviews Ben Stiller
Lovely stock and to be honest a great way to sell these cars as the period they depreciate Archie loses nothing but has the opportunity to buy low.
I think that jag needs a car vertical check though calv, 8,000 miles in 27 years 😂
