Meet HapyHipi, the MOST ECCENTRIC Collector in the World!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มิ.ย. 2024
- HapyHipi's garage and collection is the most eccentric you will ever see! Join me with Tim for a special visit to discover the eclectic cars, through to the most incredible private toy rooms in the world, and the brand new building in construction. This private garage is like no other!
I have honestly never visited anywhere quite like the fabulous purpose built buildings found here; from the cars that are contained within to everything else that joins them. The cars themselves include a red carbon Bugatti Chiron that's been driven at 261mph, to a matching pair of green carbon McLarens with the P1 and Senna. The collection extends to featuring numerous modified supercars, muscle cars, classic American cars and plenty more as we head through the various locations.
Tim very kindly takes us on a full tour of the original building, through to the new HapyHipi Town that is under construction, which honestly will take your breath away. Along the way we can discover the collections of gas pumps, signs, Hot Wheels, model cars, and anything you can think of. Wherever you look there's something new to take in and to appreciate, whether it's the Coca-Cola memorabilia, or the set of figures of Evel Knievel.
Words cannot really explain this experience. Tim's completely unique style is unleashed with no holds barred throughout, from the colours and style, to the ideas and creations he comes up with. This is the result of a man who is not afraid to challenge the norms and follow his imagination, and that is just immense to see. I cannot thank Tim and his wife enough for hosting our visit to their fabulous location, and the time taken to share this with you.

This is how a collection should be - uniquely personal to the collector. Otherwise, the “collection” turns into a museum and the “collector” into a curator.
This!
Yes someone who gets it, even though when I start my collection I won’t do this insane work but racking miles is one thing I’ll surely do.
Facts 💯
Nicely said.👍👍
@Josh You think they are suppose to tell you if they donate to charity? Why aren’t you donating charity you don’t have to have certain amount of money. Some people want to be anonymous and doesn’t want praise from people like you. And if you haven’t noticed people can enjoy the passions they love and donate at the same time to keep it moving.
The amount of wealth that some people have is truly insane! I'm not going to lie, it would be nice. To everyone that says money doesn't buy happiness, just look at how happy this guy is. 😂
Especially when the said person wants to share that happiness……
It puts that rich person on a somewhat same level as us peasants where we can all admire on the same level of appreciation of said item.
This chaps pretty much a curator of history and anything cool.
@@markvonschober6872 I love it, this guy is the absolute coolest and the preservation of history is commendable.
Never measure wealth with money...
30:07 I sure hope he’s not mocking God, God giveth God taketh away!!
Never measure wealth with money....
This is how a collection should be. This is probably the best collection I've ever seen. And the passion from Tim when he talks about it all. Incredible
That’s whiled ! Who ya feck is that man? I’m from Ireland so don’t know! 👍☘️🇮🇪
And what is he worth ? 👍
One of the coolest things about Tim's place is he opens it to the public once a year and all money raised goes to a local charity. 👍
Where abouts outside of Toronto? -I just noticed the Ontario plates
@@doc4165 King city
Yes I been every time he did
Happy hippy is one of the coolest people I’ve ever met. What a gem
@@RVHEEL Yes the house with the long long drive way on the left side going north Just down the road from my favorite restaurant.
Probably one of your most unique interviews and collections. Well done!
Super special place to visit!
If that were my "little city" that I was building, I would build an old style jail. Then I would have a better place to put my Trump mannequin.
@@frasertones8519 Its an entertaining video, and you have to turn it political? Smh... How inmature
@@sebstn_3435 Haha... what a snowflake. Get over it.
@@frasertones8519 If common sense was fuel you couldn’t drive an ants go cart around a cheerio 😂
Have you noticed that he never mentioned how much he paid for anything, such a humble man
Humble has different definitions for a lot of people, how much you need of one thing can say a lot about true humbleness not just the way you act.
@@cantthinkofnameyeah7249 It could also be down to the fact he's aware that it's not something to brag about, given that his father's business is what really made the money
People who don't earn their fortunes usually don't boast about how much they spend on things. This guy is obviously passionate about cars and seems like a good guy, so no hate here.
We have very different ideas about humble.
He would never be so petty. Lol
This is a collection showing love and not just money thrown around..This guy is an inspiration
It's Jay Leno smoking a spliff and I love it!
Nothing but love, fantastic collection
This guy puts real museums to shame , never seen anything like this before. Thanks for sharing.
Me too bro...😁👍
With 130M a year no wonder
@@bakedstreetyt , must have a pretty successful business.
@@archangels5521 Me 3 bro
It isn't very often that you see a person with such a net worth, that is truly humble. You can tell that Tim enjoys showing off his collection. Not in a "look at how much all the stuff I have costs", but more that he is so passionate about his collection, and truly enjoys seeing people get excited when they spot something else new they hadn't spotted yet. I can't say that I know exactly what type of person he is, as I don't know him. But, from what I have seen of him, he does seem like a legitimately down to Earth, good person.
to be that wealthy but also that creative and eccentric is rare, its awsome to see tbh
Thats the same thought process that led me to fall in love with Jay Lenos Garage. Just a dude who loves cars, showing folks some cars. As it should be.
Does anyone know what HapyHipi does for a living?!
@@Tkenny35 He is a Rich kid.
@@Tkenny35 he got his money from his parents passing, from what I heard his parents owned a patent that was worth a lot. forgot what the patent was but I see Tim all the Time at La Paloma car meets every weekend.
My brother worked for him for almost 30 years.
Says he is the nicest guy in the entire world. Looking forward to the day when I get to meet him
OH MY GOD! I don't have the words to describe what I'm seeing in this video! It's so awesome when a collector like him opens his doors and shows what all they have got together! Thank you for this video!
Tim is a LEGEND. I got to see his collection in 2019 when he had an open house at "Horsepower Haven." Dude was driving around with his wife greeting people, making everyone feel welcome, taking pictures with people, answering questions about cars, and having genuine conversations with strangers. He is one of the nicest people I've ever met and has one of the coolest, most unique collections in existence. Also, he drives the piss out of his cars!!!!
What does he do to acquire all of that?
@@joeyvoyles5548 weed
@@joeyvoyles5548 Would you believe he runs a skin care company?
@@joeyvoyles5548 wondering the same..but seems like he came from money if his mum left him a Bentley when she passed
What does he do for a living to accumulate wealth?
Tim is such a stand up dude. Made me a little sad inside everytime I heard him cough or be out of breath. I hope he's around for another 40 years so he can complete his vision and so that the world can keep enjoying him and his collection.
I hope he quits smoking.
Unfortunately he’s a smoker
@@7s29 Damage is already done. Stopping won't do anything I don't think.
I had three broken rib at the time of recording feeling much better now ✌️❤️😎
@@timscarplace Is that really you Tim lol
He I a true gentleman , honest to a fault. I wish him nothing but the best , the world needs more people like him and his wife ❗️🇺🇸
I think he already got all the best.
Yeah what a guy! His face lights up every time he talks about anything in there and never mentioned cost or money. Pure joy to watch him talk about it all.
I didn't know we had anyone in Canada that had a collection like this, id pay money to do a tour of his place. Love it
He does tours in August. He donates the money to animal shelters
U have to see the collection people have in Toronto. Just no one shows it
I have a collection, it’s only one car tho
@@GardenGuy1943 not bad
Where in Toronto is he
We used to pass his collection almost everyday at work and i’ve always wanted to go inside and check it out. He’s a super cool dude i’ve met him a bunch at car events, even brought his chiron out a few times to one. Awesome guy and it’s great to see him represented on this channel.
This collector he’s soooo chill , id spend months looking this masterpieces in his property what a collection soooo sick ✌🏻
This my friends, should NOT be sold! This should be a museum this should dedicate himself and the entirety of everyone involved as well. This is magnificent. This is a one to one collection of how he represents who he is as a person, shows his love and appreciation of his life. This is what represents him. It’s truly beautiful.
My mind cant even fathom this collection. Its priceless at this point. Brought a smile to my face watching every new barn, new room, or new type of collection. Tim truly has the ultimate collection. Thanks for showing us!
How much you think it’s or he’s worth ?
A good 60mill+
@@DlZZEE nah, may more
yeah its pretty amazing to spend money your dad leaves you
@@MyWooddog I agree, that would be amazing actually.
I love it when someone is rich and unassuming were you just can’t tell secure in yourself is important no big chains no stupid jewelry. Love it.
Tim’s creative direction really puts you in that “if you can dream it , you can build it” place . Love it .
I'm fortunute enought to live about 15 minutes from this place and had the pleasure to tour it myself last month when it was opened up (once a year) for charity! Tim is a very special person with an even more special place. At over 300 acres, this place needs a week to fully take in! Great video shmee! Welcome to Ontario Canada!
Where is this place ? I’m not far from Toronto and I’d LOVE to check it out
@@robb6753 king city!
That's cool. I'd like to see his place. What did he do for a living to be able to afford so much cool stuff?
@@jeremycrowe4693 inherited his wealth from his father.
@@jeremycrowe4693 His family owned a large automotive parts conglomerate that has outlets around the world. It was bought out by an investment group.
WOW my jaw hurts from smiling all the way through this video. For me the most impressive thing is the effort Tim has put in to everything in this collection. You don’t get that by just chucking money at a project there’s huge passion there Congratulations Stunning Job
this collection and garages are just breath taking but honestly happy hippi makes the collection unbelievable. He just seems like one of those old timers that you want to sit down with and just listen to his stories. Thank you happy for showing us everything. ✌️
As jealous as I am of so many of those stunning cars and all the cool buildings, Tim just seems like a super cool dude that you'd just wanna be buds with.
I would pay to take a tour of Tim's place... Unbelievable. I hope he lives long enough to finish everything on his list so he can sit back and just play with his toys all day.
Apparently, he hosts an annual open house with proceeds donated to charities.
He does, went a few years back. 100% of the entrance fee goes to a local no kill animal shelter.
A guy like Tim never finishes his list. He just keeps adding to it. An amazing collection.
He will never sit back and enjoy..... He's a die hard collector and his collection will never be complete
I wonder what he does for living? :O Anyone know what business is he in?
HapyHipi is such a nice and humble guy. Great video Tim, thank you very much!
WOW!! No words, wouldn't it be great if 1 day he would open it to some of the public to just see and admire all the work and details this man has created!! Seems like a dream your walking thru. Unbelievable
I need to meet this man and shake his hand, not for the collection, I just genuinely appreciate his attitude towards life🧡
Very humble. Never once heard him talk about the cost of any item in his crazy collection. Just pure excitement and passion. The wealth is doing him justice
28:31
Humble? He’s got a vanity plate that says “pocket change” on a $100,000+ car 🙄
nah he flexed but rightfully so, he worked for it
@13SyNtaX37 not rlly worked for it, it's generational wealth he got it from his parents passing
@@mclaikjim6552 W inheritance
This is the best collection I have ever seen ! Everything has a personal touch , things created from a dream to reality ! OmG how I wish I could meet this man and just walk through having a smoke talking about his story and his amazing collection. This is truely out of this world.
This is not just a collection, it's a lifestyle . And one should appreciate the hard work put in , all this time ..
This guy is a total embodyment of “do whatever tou feel like doing, do it for yourself, and do it for fun” and people will benefit from your enthusiasm and joy
I thought money couldn't buy happiness.... this guy seems pretty damn happy!
Living life and enjoying it to the max!
krninja22, that is one of the biggest lies ever, probably made up by rich people to try to fool us ordinary mortals 😂😂
Also a lot of LSD. But well...
I believe it’s the complete opposite. Money cannot buy happiness
@@jordanp7927 It can't , you're right , but it makes life a lot easier !!
You can't help but love this guy it's a rare thing to get someone so unique to actually bring his vision to reality.
He truly is the "Happy Hippie" ! What a wonderful eccentric guy, definitely loving life - a real inspiration!
That inheritance money go crazzyy
Every last moment of this video was incredible , very riveting and well constructed and put together video. Thank you Tim and Shmee for this !
I've never heard someone who is as infectiously happy as this guy he is amazing
This man makes me proud to be Canadian!!! A mind blowing collection built on his very unique vision.
He's so cool I wish I knew him.
Lol why would this make you feel proud? 😂 "I'm proud to be Canadian there's a rich dude who lives in our commune." Genuinely curious why would this make you feel proud?
With all that American Stuff!
@@bruderschweigen6889 Most such collectors, like Ron Pratt, seem to be American. Not that I'm anti-American. The opposite in fact. Just nice to see a very cool Canadian with a very cool collection. We okay now Bruder?
MAN O MAN THIS GUY TALKS REAL FUNNY & STRANGE...I CAN HARDLY UNDERSTAND HIM...WHATS HE TRYING TO SAY.....
"A".......??????
Just....Incredible! He's done very well with the family fortune, and not a single time did he boast about anything.
I'd love to tour the facility when it's open to the public, especially once his 'Town' is finished!!!
What an incredible collection, truly remarkable on every level!
probably the best collection i have ever see
We all should do like this guy: live live our own way without interfering with other's lifes ! Congrats on this one, Shmee :D
Absolutely! This is the way to live life
@@Shmee150 easy when you are thrown dozens of millions into your lap :)
@@mkprivate7523 forsure, but he could be pompous and act better then others because of his money. He isn't he just enjoys life and does his own thing. That is what makes this guy so cool
@@zsutton6687 Fair point, true.
Take this man on Gumball
This guy is living every car guys dream. Props to him for putting in all the time,money, patience and effort into making a master piece 🙏🙏🙏
This is one of my absolute most impressive collection of treasures I've ever seen. I think this guy needs help,getting his village together,very impressive. Thank you!!
So cool! Thanks to Tim for sharing his place. Amazing collection & so unusual that he would share it. I attended a car show at his place about 4 years ago & he’s done a lot since!
Totally amazing
This is the most insane collection i have ever seen..i mean holy heck. Such a passionate collector of so many things. The value of this complete collection must be almost impossible to put a price on.
This is an insane collection. So unique, and simply incredible.
My man is living my dream! I can’t express enough how happy this hippie is to see his collection
Rock on sir! Much love /respect Me Happy Hippie
OK I've seen some collections over the years but wow this is arguably one of the greatest overall collections in the world. This is incredible to say the very least.
Totally agree and the man himself what an awesome person
I've never heard of this guy before but what a pleasure it was to see his collection and hear him chat about it
Seeing his big ol smile while he shows his amazing collection is just heart warming. I pray I will be able to be in a position like him.
WOW! That was a proper jaw to the floor moment when you went into the long building with the boardwalk. Absolutely incredible! 🤯
Wow. So humble. This is how a guy should be. I’m
Proud to call you a fellow Canadian Sir. No Attitude or Fakeness about him.
He's fake he inherited it all
@POWERHOUSE You can have millions of dollars in materials and be humble. It is all in how you present yourself as a person. Tim obviously grew up rich, but he does not come off as someone who believes he is better than anyone else. He has a great passion, the money at hand to dive deep into that passion and he chooses to share it with the world kindly.
Dude! That wide mini 🤤
Wow, what an amazing collection! I love how HapyHipi's passion for collecting really shines through in this video. Thanks for sharing!
This guy is living his dream, this is what passion is all about !
The first time the word "eccentric" was used in a good way, it's usually used to not describe someone as having bad taste. This is amazing! This is the kind of collector i can appreciate and respect!
crazy if you're poor..ECCENTRIC IF YOU'RE RICH!
@@Jeff-kw8jj The best comment ! That's life everybody respect you if you have money and loves you if you have a lot .
Pretty much every car looked like a life size version of a Hot Wheels!! 😍🤯🤯
I would honestly spend a whole day there going through every single little bit of car, bike, memorabilia etc I love this stuff!
Singularly impressed with the creativity of the displays. The contents themselves, the cars, gas pumps, signs, toys and other memorabilia, are presented in a very well-thought out manner that brings all the components together to make an extremely tasteful and beautiful display. The entire space is a work of art.
Had the pleasure of meeting Tim in Fort Lauderdale where he owns another home , walking down the beach as a 16 year old with my best bud and we hear this beast of a car coming down the street . We turn around and see this beautiful P1 with a crazy looking guy(sorry Tim ) in a tie die bucket hat behind the steering wheel . We couldn't believe our eyes . Tim then pulled the car over as he had saw us freaking out and came over and showed us the car ! After travelling back home to Niagara Falls and having no idea Tim was local to Ontario we started looking up " Santa Claus steals p1 mclearen in Florida " loan behold a photo came up and it was Tim ! Linked to that photo was a biography and ever since then , I've been to 2 of his car shows just 1 hour away from my house . Such an amazing character !
Wow what a memory to Cary with you mate, i would love to meet this guy - He seems so grounded and it's easy to feel he's passion for what he have done so far, extremely empressive ✌️
Each detail is so unique out just blow my mind, what a cool guy. 🙏👍✌️
Hi Shmee, you just made my day with this video, any comment regarding this collection will be too small....cheer's from Costa Rica!
Pura vida compa
WOW, I'm shock! This is the best collection I've ever seen, ❤️ millions kudos! Brought tears to my eyes!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!
I just can't say this enough. The Happy Hippie is my damn hero. His collection is just ....... words can't quantify what it is. And per usual Tim we thank you for providing a window to some of these collections. Thank you!!!
Legend has it, that Shmee is still walking around this premises.
That’s just another world no matter the collection, the land size the building sizes, the classic items, no wonder he needs a curator and i bet more staff, what a lovely guy with it.
Just seeing this has made me smile! Thanks for showing your collection!
This man redefines the idea of a dream garage. More than just a bunch of incredible cars, a presentation tailored to him. Makes me want to get my car painted
Tim, by far the best man cave ever, what a cool guy, so wholesome. Praise the lord.
The most unbelievable collection I've ever seen. Thanks, Tim!
I love Jay Leno s garage! You Mr. Happy hippie you are over the top my friend.i am struggling in life right now.but seeing what you are doing I could only see it through things like this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Raymond
its so rare to see someone actually pursue what a collection really is. this is awesome to see and I love it so much.
I’ve followed this dude for years so happy to see the collection here!
@@Kigoz4Life "The Schmidt family made its millions from manufacturing plastic auto parts through its worldwide ABC Group of Companies" took me all of 20 seconds on google 🙃

I'm beyond blown away. Speechless.
Simply Amazing! It fits his personality all together! Can’t wait to see more!!!
so fortunate to have seen this in real life right before covid. he not only drives his cars and loves them he also takes them all out to random car meets around the city every week. hes a real car guy
I am a retired locksmith 😊

Wow just wow, that's one of the best car collection that I ever seen in my life. Tim is very down to earth and such a humble guy.
Just met this guy today at Super Car Week and talked with him for like 20 minutes, really good guy.
I don't often watch these collection videos all the way through, but this was fantastic. Tim is such a cool guy with a fantastic collection, an amazing space for all his toys, and an even better attitude. Love it, just wow. Canada is a long way away, but I hope to see this collection and spend hours noticing new details all over the place. Amazing video, wonderful collection. Love it, just love it.
Im from toronto and ive met tim a few times at car meets, he is one of the most HUMBLE people ive ever met that has this kind of money. He use to do a HUGE car show on his property once a year and would donate all the money to charities. Hes a solid guy
How does he have so much money to buy these cars? What does he do for a living?
@@JuanRojas956 from what i know his parents started the ABC network in canada and then sold it for billions, idk how true that is but thats what ive heard
ABC Group was an auto parts manufacturer that was bought out in 2016.

@@bonestorm9109 thank you
I already run out of breath watching his car collection, then this guy continue to show his other factories full of other collections. I can't even finish watching this video. How Rick is this guy can be??? Imagine what you can get in heaven.
W0W..how truly unique this man's vision is, (of what drives us all to collect and display our love of all things)✌
Truly inspiring.!! Thanks for the opportunity to look inside ..✌
This man is a national treasure
You haven’t seen a collection until you’ve seen this one this really puts it all into perspective, what a guy and what a place. The definition and look of just doing whatever you want 👍🏼
This collection is breathtaking. Our friends have a huge collection and "museum" facility. It takes a ton of money to maintain a car collection this size.
Fantastic , incredible there are no words to describe what I just saw.
Brought tears of joy to my eyes. 😊
Best collection I’ve ever seen on this channel. Not a fan of the older American cars but can definitely appreciate them. Plus the fact that he knows the story on almost everything and the other collections of random items is truly amazing!
Tim is always such a nice guy to everyone he meets. He deserves all of this and more. I am shocked he got another Tesla though after the other one burned down his garage
probably why this one is parked outside :D
HapyHipi is so humble and genuinely nice.
I recognize the mirror green jeep. I met this guy at a show around Toronto years ago. He said he had a place and other cars but omg.. amazing collection.
This is not a collection. This is a museum!!! Simply amazing!!
Absolutely mind-blowing. I can’t even imagine how much he makes to afford all of what has been shown.
Sounds like family money, mom left him a Rolls.
His parents started ABC Group and they sold it to Cerberus for probably north of a billion dollars - which is why she had a Rolls and he has a personal helicopter.
He's the last surviving member 9f the family, so everything went to him
@@barondugger I didn’t happen to catch the helicopter?
@@robp7894 And when he hits that bell.. And prays .. 🙏 you can see that is straight to his past loving family.. ❤❤❤🔥
watching this brings me joy, he is surely a happy man.
probably the first car video ive sat through and watched the entire thing lol. love this guy hes a beauty. i see him around Toronto all the time
Never thought you'd see Tim's collection. So awesome
No wonder he’s so happy. He has amazing collection. What a cool guy.
The attention to details is AMAZING. This guy is an artist
