    We found it! What an amazing opportunity to be re-united with the first ever Shmeemobile, my old V8 Vantage Roadster. Who remembers my super awkward first ever video talking to camera while driving this car? And yes... I'm still searching for the exhaust switch.

      Idk about that, don’t get me wrong I’ve been a long time follower and the Vantage was one of the first proper motors he had himself on the channel, but let’s be real, the R8 V10 was the catalyst for Shmee’s success, it’s the most iconic Shmee car for me.

    4 years back I had traded-in my car and got a new one, since I live in India it's nearly impossible to track cars because quantities are too much. 3 months back I was driving to another city and fortunately by coincidence my old car was driving ahead of me; that feeling.... that moment..... I was completely lost in beautiful memories (as that was the car on which I learnt to drive). I wanted to stop the owner but he was going somewhere with his family hence I didn't; this video made me remember that moment and relive it again😍 only true automotive enthusiast can understand this feelings. Thanks Tim for making such videos 👍🏻

I also remember the MrShmee150 short updates channel back in those days.

    That would be nostalgic to you & will inspire all the people who visit shmuseum, that you can achieve what you wanted in future!!!
    I hope you see this comment.

    Spotted you in Marlow today, Senna, GT40 and the G. Never liked the GT40 colour in your videos but in the flesh is looked great!
