There's not much better than a race track in your back yard, as I discover on visiting Rodin Cars to check out their Fzed race car, and experience some laps at the wheel of a Ferrari 488 GTB!
That took guts! No wonder you were poking along. The track has no curbs, gravel traps, or barriers. A true death wish at this point! Does the waiver ask if you are of sound mind and body?
Can this finally put an end to all the "Shmee doesn't drive cars how they should be driven" crap? He's using someone else's car, on a track he doesn't know, with standing water in many places, obviously cool temps, yet he's still taking the revs up and sliding the back end out for some fun! Give the man the credit he deserves for being both respectful to others property AND still giving us a good taste of what the car can do with some fun. Thanks Tim for always giving us amazing unique content, with enthusiasm, respect, taste and fun. Cheers from Canada
Exactly! Shmee can actually drive he respects the rules of the roads unlike the majority of other TH-camrs. In my eyes it’s actually a good thing coming from me, someone who used to do crazy things even drifting on public roads until I matured.
Thanks. I just think Tim deserves a lot more respect for not only his driving, but in reality he was an innovator in the Automotive TH-camr scene, plus he has to to be the hardest working guy out there! I love Mr.JWW, STG, SOL, Solomondrin, and most all of the cartubers for their own styles and what they bring to the table, but Shmee gets access to things NOBODY else does.....why do you think that is? He's a respectful, hardworking innovator who obviously has the respect of all the brands and aftermarket companies. He deserves all his success and then some.
Actually YES!, but I was more speaking to the comments that people make too often about how he doesn't drive cars how they should be driven! I'd like to see you borrow someones $400,000-$2,000,000+ car a drive the stink out of it...oh wait that will never happen because if you plan on driving it the way you claim you would, nobody would ever let you drive their super/hypercar! Most of you who criticize Shmee would probably crap your pants if you ever got behind the wheel of one of these cars, and end up chickening out of driving it all together (I've seen it happen more than once). Let's also not forget that the man has taken and passed a racing license test and has tracked most of his cars at some point (which is more than can be said for most people who own cars like his)! So damn right you should give some respect where respect is due!
Mashetekiller hopefully not,nothing against Tim but when he's in germany he isn't that far from me so leave the weather in the UK. Please do me that favour,atleast in the Summer.
Love your channel, Shmee! I’ve been subscribed since last summer, when I was invited along for a four-country, 10-day Grand Tour of European car manufacturers in a new 488 Spider. It was an epic experience and I’ve missed that tremendous car each day since. What a wonderful ride around that private track in the 488GTB you’ve offered up for all of us...thank you for another great film, and for helping me re-live the feeling of piloting a 488. What a machine. Love your work each day, Tim; you are the Crown Prince of this genre, truly...
Miquel B. Many Australians/New Zealand that are living in the outbacks or in the remote parts of Australia/New Zealand owns massively huge acres of land.
The ultimate playboy's dream and way to let your mind aim freely throwing the gear into overdrive. Great experience Tim and thanks for sharing with us.
Shmee150 how do get invited to drive cars worth thousands of pounds/Euros. Is it just networking ?! And they like you and your channel so you can have a go ?
Having your own private track/area to just mess around in has got to be the best thing ever! No rules, drive as fast as you want, no time limits, etc...
The facility, the garage, the track... things I dream about. Can't believe people live it lol Good on them , attaining that level of success is not easy. Must use them as inspiration to persevere through my education 😂.
What an amazing back yard David has! I prefer it to Kim Dot Com's gimmicky NZ mansion. Must be awesome to play with all those cars on a private track. You would maybe have a viral video if you slid the Ferrari of the track across the grass and into the helicopter ;-)
So far this is the first time I've heard anyone say "Private, Back-Yard, Race Track" That's fucking insane, you have no idea how insane that sounds to us norms...
The only thing more awesome than a hot sports car is a chopper.......and fixed wing aircraft, of course. :) P.S. There is nothing.......NOTHING........that sounds as good as a revving Ferrari, IMO. Love it. :)
You get all the cool connections! It would be nice if you brush up on your aircraft knowledge? It might be a little helicopter but those G2's cost over 200k euros. What a back-yard!
If you wanna buy a mid engined Ferrari, I encourage you to buy the Ferrari 458 Italia or the Ferrari 458 Speciale. Simply because of the sound from the 4.5L natural aspirated V8. The 488 is good but not a big fan of that sound. I even think my Mclarens sound better than the 488.
what kind of people r these and what kind of life do they have , its insane ! living in beautiful new zealand having an own race track and so nice cars , someone did smth right :p
It's either a version 5 or 6 type R STIi coupe (rare to find one unmolested), 22b's are created using a version 5 (GC8f) STi type R coupe as it's base chassis platform. Prodrive & Sti add the fun bits.
What is the beeping sound, you sometimes hear when Tim is driving the Ferrari? (~ 12:15) Edit: is it to warn you for the 130 kmpu speed limit in New Zealand?
Cookie Monster really? And that beeb is from the ferrari self? Or some thing from the government itself? I remember back in the day in dubai when a car past 120kmpu it started beeping as well, but that was just some thing the government installed in your car.
The beep is from the Ferrari. I know of a few cars that enable you to set a speed warning at whatever speed you like. Japanese domestic cars used to have a government-mandated speed warning at 105 km/h (back in the 1980s).
Shmee150, did you just change the title of this video, within the first few minutes of it going live? It used to be something about a 'Back-Yard Track', etc.
Yes, people clearly weren't interested in that element. Toying with ideas because the video isn't proving very popular - the internet can be unpredictable
Shmee150 this video was great. !! When you said you were at a private track I thought of Ascari but that is in Spain... maybe you can do some videos there. It's my dream to be there sometime.

The 488 tho X3 I can't believe you tracked down the TDF Shmee you're literally my hero. That's my favorite car of all time!
Well stay tuned in this video, there's another one!!!
You just got in the air OMG YES! You spoil us! X3
Shmee150 another brilliant video shmee! Loving the new content!
That took guts! No wonder you were poking along.

Hahaha what? Because he lost traction for a fraction of a second at corner exit in a flappy paddle automatic? We should now respect his driving?
Actually YES!, but I was more speaking to the comments that people make too often about how he doesn't drive cars how they should be driven!

Tim always brings British weather, even down under!

Its amazing how you always get to experience some of the most exclusive places! Keep up the good work!
A racetrack in a backyard???
This needs to be a big backyard
It is!
Miquel B. Many Australians/New Zealand that are living in the outbacks or in the remote parts of Australia/New Zealand owns massively huge acres of land.
Me.Grazzhoppah this is New Zealand
Ben Nicholson I forgot to type in /New Zealand.
The ultimate playboy's dream and way to let your mind aim freely throwing the gear into overdrive. Great experience Tim and thanks for sharing with us.
this backyard is like something out of this world
I subscribed. I love the Ferrari 488, it’s my dream car
Odd question for you. When someone invites you to drive their car(s), do they ever expect you to pay for fuel?
If I take a car on any kind of drive where there is a substantial dent in the fuel tank, I would always give it back with a full tank.
@smee150 i wish my friends were as considerate as you.
Shmee150 how do get invited to drive cars worth thousands of pounds/Euros. Is it just networking ?! And they like you and your channel so you can have a go ?
awesome track, awesome collection, awesome channel...!
Tim is definitely living the good life.
Also, some amazing enthusiasts in NZ.
im from nz
These are the Shmee150 videos I love, new adventures, new places, just better videos
Sick Impreza.
Porsche
what a car that 488 gtb , a dream
Impreza sti, old fairaldy z, and mk1 mx5 amongst all those race cars and exotics. i like this David guy very very much!
Fantastic video on 488 GTB
You really should go back there when it's actually nice day and drive properly. Very nice video as always👍👍
Love the diversety of cars, everything from a miata to a tdf
Down under is turning into a really great experience ,for your viewers as well Looks to be well planned and well shot ✌🏻
Such an awesome experience!!!
Now this is what I call living the good life! A large country estate with acres of private land to do with as you please!
shmee you living the dream man awesome
Having your own private track/area to just mess around in has got to be the best thing ever! No rules, drive as fast as you want, no time limits, etc...
Magnificent 488 😎
Must say Tim, you da man mate. Great video.
The facility, the garage, the track... things I dream about. Can't believe people live it lol Good on them , attaining that level of success is not easy. Must use them as inspiration to persevere through my education 😂.
That is my dream place. I love 3d printing and I love cars! 😍😍
That Tyre wall though... Clearly he enjoys driving ;)
great video .... NZ ... kiwi bro ... putting the country on the map for its car culture .... nice!
Woooow, that Black Fairlady Z.
OMG!!!!!
Wow go new Zealand,shmeeee has been to new Zealand and in the south island awesome work
sick video what a helicopter ride haha
What a cool video :)
I like how you start your video's
I am way behind with your vids, but epic content!
I'm jealous. Stuck here behind my desk & your out driving supercars & traveling for a living. I've done something or am doing something wrong LOL LOL
Aladdin’s cave of treasures.Would love that race track in my garden 😂
good content
8:07 For me the 240Z and the MX-5 are the best cars in the whole video (except for the GT3RS)
That's a 280 or early 300 I think
MagicAyrtonforever doesn't matter,still awesome!
its a 280 z 100%
Yeeeesssss!
Sterling Archer awesome name👍😂😂
Tim, have you thought about "interviewing" some of these people. Talk about their collection and so on.
Only if they prefer to be on camera.
Hmmm yeah, that is a bit of a problem!
11:30 I'm very very conscious about the water on the road, So let's put it into race mode LOL
What an amazing back yard David has! I prefer it to Kim Dot Com's gimmicky NZ mansion. Must be awesome to play with all those cars on a private track. You would maybe have a viral video if you slid the Ferrari of the track across the grass and into the helicopter ;-)
Have a wonderful day nice vlog
No one would expect to find supercars in this remote place.
What a place!
thats crazy I have been watching shmee since the audi r8, man time sure flys lol
Next video : Helicopter insane revs & accelerations
The helicopter needs an exhaust system put on it
Aidan Scheiwe Its not impossible for ricers lol
hii shmee... love your videos soo much
I like that lil helicopter nice vid too..."Yeshua/Jesus is the way"
I think that maybe just a small part of a much larger international collection.😎
So far this is the first time I've heard anyone say "Private, Back-Yard, Race Track"
That's fucking insane, you have no idea how insane that sounds to us norms...
The mist impressive thing is the manufacturing capabilities of course the private track is nice too
First!! Looks like Shmee is having a great time in NZ!!
You bet, it's awesome, thanks for watching the videos!
Question: do you support an F1 team?
Graeat video as always! A private racetrack is my dream
i like the 280Z
Tim, you've got to go back there some day and drive the FZ.
THAT IS FUCKING AMAZING
FIRST! #Squad4life #HELICOPTER
Hehe, thanks!
Is this even really Shmee? Some guy swears up & down there's no way it's Shmee but some guy in Lancaster perhaps lol
Tim, excuse me sir but did you turn the blinkers on at around the 9-minute mark?
Hey Schmee- how would you compare the transmission shift speed of the 488 to your 991.2 GT3?
Any pics of that mx5?
The only thing more awesome than a hot sports car is a chopper.......and fixed wing aircraft, of course. :)
P.S. There is nothing.......NOTHING........that sounds as good as a revving Ferrari, IMO. Love it. :)
No love for the 2 Yamaha VMax in his collection?
Great video Tim!! What camera do you use for your vlogs?
You can find everything at: shmee150.com/shmeegear/
What’s all the beeping?
Extreme Racer I reckon it's some sort of speed notification (over 100km/h or something)
Heavy braking
It's always beeping when he gets past 130 km/h, so yeah it's some sort of speed warning that you can most likely turn off
Wow Shmee!
So many people think they're cool hating on the 488... Get one or the Pista please! Ok how about the 812 then... Or just get the Lusso🤷♂️
Because half of the TH-camrs tell them to, like salamondrin because he couldn't buy a laferrari
9:05 Aren't you meant to drive a track counter clock wise? Or was it designed to the lapped clockwise?
You get all the cool connections! It would be nice if you brush up on your aircraft knowledge? It might be a little helicopter but those G2's cost over 200k euros. What a back-yard!
Can't you turn off the beep when you are on a track for example?
You should have gone to the southward car museum near Wellington biggest car museum in the southern hemisphere
Mariner Blue Miata spotted 8:11 the guy has style fo shure
What's the black beauty at 1:32 behind the FZ next to the tire rack?
The Sintura S99
Thanks! Beautiful machine.
It's my favourite car at work
If you wanna buy a mid engined Ferrari, I encourage you to buy the Ferrari 458 Italia or the Ferrari 458 Speciale. Simply because of the sound from the 4.5L natural aspirated V8. The 488 is good but not a big fan of that sound. I even think my Mclarens sound better than the 488.
yixiang loo lolz
If you're going to buy a Ferrari I encourage you to drive them all first and not base it off the sound.. although I would rank it 458S > 488 > 458
Was that the speed limit warning, going off every time he crossed 150?
Notification Squaaaaaaad
Thanks for having notifications on!
Hi shmee!~
what kind of people r these and what kind of life do they have , its insane ! living in beautiful new zealand having an own race track and so nice cars , someone did smth right :p
why doesnt he put curbs next to the track? wet grass is indeed very deadly
Element 7
I can imagine he's probably not allowed to do that
Nice country
What was the thing behing his hand
#Shquad
David saved money on carbon and wheels :P :P
#SHQUAD
#Shmee150Shquad
Welcome back!
Shmee150 Thank you so much... Still watching... Exceptional one... Another amazing content... Keep posting... Take care...
The Subaru Impreza, isnt that a 22b STi ?
Nah, it's not a 22B.
It's either a version 5 or 6 type R STIi coupe (rare to find one unmolested), 22b's are created using a version 5 (GC8f) STi type R coupe as it's base chassis platform. Prodrive & Sti add the fun bits.
I think you should’ve gone for this Ferrari rather then that Porsche:))))
What is the beeping sound, you sometimes hear when Tim is driving the Ferrari? (~ 12:15)
Edit: is it to warn you for the 130 kmpu speed limit in New Zealand?
It has a speed notification set at 130km/h for whatever reason
Maybe because if you're caught doing 40 km/h over the speed limit it results in an automatic 28-day license suspension.
Cookie Monster really? And that beeb is from the ferrari self? Or some thing from the government itself? I remember back in the day in dubai when a car past 120kmpu it started beeping as well, but that was just some thing the government installed in your car.

Bro you have to coolest and funniest intro ever. Lmao.
488! You are two years late mate
Not just any impreza! A 22b! Those are rare as shit
How are you??
Shmee150, did you just change the title of this video, within the first few minutes of it going live? It used to be something about a 'Back-Yard Track', etc.
Yes, people clearly weren't interested in that element. Toying with ideas because the video isn't proving very popular - the internet can be unpredictable

If only McLaren's had that sound 😀
blinking nora!
Shmee making Chris Harris look like a nobody on the track! :D
1st time commenting on being early lol feels good
Hehe, welcome
:D
Hi Shmee, it is so awesome that you replied :D.I was wondering what is your fav car in your garage.
Fzed vs 2017 McLaren F1 car...who wins??😏🇬🇧
If i owned a private island i'd build a race track
Haha, can I come visit?
It would be a pleasure! haha
