Which Aston Martin belongs in Archie's garage? Mr JWW has a clear starting point: "I would go Vanquish over DB11."
In "SHOPPING FOR MY DREAM ASTON MARTIN", Archie visits Chiltern Aston Centre to turn a broad wish into something closer to a shortlist. James arrives in his DBS, and Paul from Supercars of London joins them inside. A grey Vanquish Volante, a yellow Vanquish and a black Rapide AMR give the discussion plenty of directions, including the enduring question of where a sports car ends and a supercar begins.
The visit drew roughly 22,000 views, comfortably the most watched of Archie's two new uploads. His other post offered a brief look at Changan's Paris Motor Show stand. In the Aston video's comments, viewers are building their own shortlists: the Rapide gets a vote as an unusual garage addition, while others make cases for the Vanquish, DBS and V12 DB11. Gearbox differences enter the discussion too.
The channel added roughly 2,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is running below half its usual pace. Nearby motoring channel Drift Games is having a livelier spell than usual; ReDriven drew a substantial weekly audience despite its own slower daily viewing.
Archie's Aston hunt also carries the strongest daily momentum in his catalogue, followed by his Alpine A290 GTS depreciation video and the older M3 Touring market discussion. This time, though, the question is what to buy rather than what a car has lost. Dealer representative Guy picks the Vanquish as his investment prospect, while Archie leaves without announcing a purchase.
