1,000 Miles in the Mercedes 300SL - My Mille Miglia | 2018 AFTERMOVIE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ค. 2018
- This is our story of the 2018 Mille Miglia, driving with an iconic Mercedes 300SL Gullwing and joined by my AMG GT R support car. We travel 1,000 miles from Brescia to Rome and back on 'The Most Beautiful Race in the World', with trials and tribulations along the way leading to our successful final ranking, 95th out of 450 entrants.
I joined the Mercedes-Benz team, driving in a 1955 300SL Gullwing from the Mercedes-Benz Museum; a truly special vehicle with a huge history - particularly celebrating 1955, the year of Sir Stirling Moss' famous victory in the original event. Co-driving with me is Marc 'Shmarc150' (manager of Shmee150), and we're joined by BenzeneBen and SebastianTPhotography on board the AMG GT R to support us and create this aftermovie of the entire experience.
Getting underway in Brescia, it's clear that this is going to be an endurance event of the highest order; with 15 hour driving days and regularity tests along the way to create competition. With no prior experience within our team, it is all a learning game as we progress South through Italy towards Rome to reach the mid-way point.
With the most fantastic team behind our entry, supported by Mercedes-Benz Classic, the car was hugely well maintained by a team of mechanics working into the night, along with some fabulous organisation to run a smooth ship. It is clear that this has been one of the most fantastic events I have ever experienced, and as we returned to Brescia via Milan, the Alfa Romeo Museum and a lap of the Monza Formula 1 circuit, the icing on the cake was well and truly added.
A huge personal thanks goes to those on the team who made this possible, I don't think I could ever repeat such an opportunity and I shall never forget it.

Thanks for watching, Tim

Hi! It's good, very pleased to have this video live and hope you enjoy!
Excellent picture and edit quality. U should start Ur own show on TV
Hi
I wouldn't mind seeing more of these long duration "movies" rather than the usual edited on the road "live upload" ones
I've watched your videos for years, and i think this has to be the best video to date. Very much enjoyed following the journey through such an iconic rally. Great work guys!
Was a pleasure having you ✌️ Looks like you had a blast 😎
Thank you for the opportunity!
Mercedes-Benz Museum the best or nothing
Wow it's the official account!!
Mercedes-Benz Museum amazing lineup of cars....The project one really caught my eye and also the maroon 300 sl... Beautifully displayed
Everybody should visit your magnificent museum : amazing day there :
th-cam.com/video/RmS_YMbrRcs/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your warm welcome and good explanations from your staff especially about the 300 SLR. Danke vielmals.
And Tim nice driving with those narrow streets.
Tim's moving face on the map was so funny lol
Daniel Sadjadian looool I laughed when I first saw that 😂. That was so unexpected...
trust me there is no other video on youtube that can hold me on my seat for 44 minutes straight
faboulous video shmee and love you benzene for the edit
Compared to 3 years ago, this could have come from TV. This was awesome and you really succeeded to make the viewer feel the atmosphere of the places. Also your passion for what you are doing really shines on situations like these. Also... immaculate editing 👍👍👍
Thanks for the kind words!
Keep up the good work! :)
I got to meet Tim at the end of the Mille Miglia in Brescia, we pushed the gullwing together, he's one of the most down to earth genuine car guys. Loved meeting you and this was a great video, cheers from Croatia
Totally agree! And also cheers from Croatia, Tim you have a lot of fans here :D
Tim is such an inspiration, you can see it his eyes. Even after four days of torture he's glowing. Thank you for that gift
Perfect video to watch on a quiet Sunday afternoon!! Credits to Ben for the awesome editing skills!
Thanks, hope you enjoy it, have a good day
Congrats to the Shmee150 team for the hard work on this😍
I have watched pretty much every video on TH-cam on the Mille Miglia, and I have to say sincerely, this is by far the best one. Just awesome👍
Thank you for the kind words, we really wanted to capture the atmosphere of the event so pleased to hear it came across
sucksqueezebangblow i agree it's the best one so far
Putting the schmooze on thick today huh? :D
Dexter Johnson hey man, real recognises real, and it was that good.
I bet...looks like he "Shmee" had fun...
First of all WOW that was incredibly entertaining and I quite frankly didn't want it to end!
Second, BEN BEN BEN you outdid yourself with this one my good man! With the number of cameras and amount of footage, this edit HAD TO BE a labour of love to get through and look this amazing...so my hats off to you fine sir!
Third, Tim I've said it before and I'll say it again....you are in a different league! You bring an emotion and excitement to your videos that is palpable. Yes the haters will tell me that I should get off my knees, but I just think that we hear so much negativity in this world, that you should give the positive when it's warranted...and it is warranted for you Shmee!
Poor Shmarc was completely "DONE" at the end there, and although I know you were as well Tim, you also had that 2nd, 3rd, or was it 4th wind that gave you a boost of adrenaline at the finish line. I've never seen you so calm, soft, and tired as you were in you're outro.
Thanks as always for the very enjoyable content and bringing us along for experiences we will all likely never be able to partake of on our own. Cheers from Canada
Yup dead after a long trip! :) Thanks for your kind words and don't worry too much about the haters... Haters gonna hate, potatoes are gonna potate, etc...
Ah yes those dame Taters lol
Trip of a lifetime. Happy I was able to go 3 years ago! Video doesn’t do justice to the magic of this race
Tim,
After having watched your videos since you got the R8 a few years ago, I must say that the production quality of your videos has made an amazing improvement. Not saying the old videos were bad, but this here is pretty much TV show stuff already. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!
Thank you, it's amazing that BenzeneBen managed to put this full video together from 1.5TB of data in just 6 days, huge props to him for that. instagram.com/BenzeneBen
Wow Tim, just wow. As I said some videos before; I am not one to comment much on videos (call me spoiled) but with you, and JWW as well, I just can't seem to help myself. These past months you have been rocking the boat, stepping up to a whooooole other level...Your work ethics, hard work, focus, planning, effort, passion for what you do, filters through your work loud and clear. Seeing this kind of passionate, humble, yet fortunate person doing what he does, truly brings a smile on my face. You are being you 24/7, and that's not easy when it comes to social media. I salute you. But WAIT....one more major kudos to Ben.......his editing has been of the charts lately - you make a fantastic team. All the best to you, I am a loyal follower for life. CHEERS
This video is so amazing I am going to watch it over and over again. Thanks for the amazing work Tim, Ben and all the other people who worked on this masterpiece. I love it!
The perfect journey in the perfect country with a perfect car...
What else..?
Thank you so much shmee for making us live the dream of 1000miglia!
you´re living the dream man doing mille miglia in the greatest car possible
By far the best 43 minutes of pure fanfare and unadulterated experience you could ever ask for. Definitely a catchy and unique way to start the video. True car enthusiasts go that extra mile to dibble and explore other aspects of the industry to stand out from the rest of the pack. The amount of time, work and prep gone into making this video is beyond words. Wish you could do more of these adventures again for years to come.
I'm only 10 min into the video and wow! This is so well put together. Really guys, to all involved in putting this together, BRAVO! Fantastic work gentlemen.
43 mins of pure magic and briliiance from the whole team. This is the most epic thing on youtube right now. Never experienced MIle MIglia like this before. The 300sl is such a beauty and dream to drive that too for 1000 miles is ...god I am lost for words Tim !!! And wow the Italians such passion. Probably doing it in a 250 GTO would the perfect thing ever. Once again what a epic video. Mr JWW did a great job but you just eclipsed them all. WOW !!!
Thanks for your kind words. Benzeneben's editing was absolutely next level...
Shmee150 Yes it is epic !! Keep posting great stuff like this 😁✌
It's because you always put first awesome cars and not lifestyle and other "vlogger stuff". Thank you Tim, wish you come in Italy soon.
What a amazing experience you had, not only participating in the iconic Mille Miglia but driving the also iconic 300SL Gullwing, simply astonishing. Congrats on the 95th position, a very good result. Also kudo's to Mercedes for keeping those beauties alive and running. Thumbs up to your team as well Mr. Burton and you know that this one is gonna be hard to beat... Cheers :)
The Shmee head moving along the map showing the progress was brilliant. What an adventure of a lifetime!
Just taking my popcorn and watch this movie on a big TV
Enjoy!
Thanks, I will certainly do that ;)
I do really enjoy watching your sort kind of experience documentary film of this year's Mille Miglia. I hope for more this kind of experience documentary format in your future video. Great job Tim & the whole Shmee 150 team members... cheers!
Sir Stirling Moss will never be forgotten with his amazing races and especially the race around Italy
That edit is from another level! 👏👌
BenzeneBen has nailed it! instagram.com/benzeneben
I think he is ready for a promotion Tim 😁
This video is simply incredible. Amazing editing and a great look behind the scenes of such an event and this is one of the few videos on TH-cam I have watched that are over 30 minutes long. I can barely imagine how it would be to drive this icon, one of my absolute dream cars. I am glad that this is at least possible for you!
Thank you for you great content.
Beautifully made video 👏🏻👏🏻
Loved seeing them navigate those tight corridors, especially the GT R :D
POWERSLIDELOVER POWERSLIDING AT 25.56 LOL that guy is Crazy!
Even though I'm not into classic cars really, but this was highly entertaining! What an event, looks like mega organization and italian passion for cars! Thnx so much for your efforts, Tim, Shmarc, Benzeeeeeee and the team!;)
Thanks for your kind words, greatly appreciated!
I loved this movie, driving that 300sl must've been a pleasure.
Only watched 5 mins and I allready love this video
Hope the rest matches up, there are some fun bits along the way
oh my god! This upload made my day!
Editing was just on point!
Loved every bit of the video!
Keep ‘em rolling Shmee!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved this!!!! Tim well done and Ben good job on the edit's man !!!that made it so much better.
WOW! What to say...this is problably the best video on your channel, reminds me of old "Top Gear Special" episodes. Ben's edits are epic, love the detailed explanation of all the stages and rules (average speed etc) . When I watch I get a feeling that I'm on a Mille Miglia. Epic epic epic, cheers to the whole team from Croatia!
Awesome edit!
Thanks, BenzeneBen absolutely nailed i! instagram.com/benzeneben
I’ve been smiling for 43 minutes and 47 seconds! Thanks Tim, for taking us along. BTW, the vlog could not have been more professionally done!
Beautifully mounted video of the MM, Tim and team you spoil us with these videos.
Its Nice To See that AMG GTR used so much 👍thats a proper way to used a car like that
What it was bought for!
Perfect worm up before Monaco GP!
Fantastic video! What amazes me is how many camera positions you had at the start for example. Ben did an amazing job with the edit too!
I'm loving the fact that you listened to your viewers and made the video 45 min instead of 25! Such an awesome event, I'm looking forward to watching the video now. Thank you!
Congratulations on the adventure of a lifetime! Tim, you, Mark, Ben and Sebastian, the whole Shmee150 Team have taken your channel to a whole new level with this amazing post. Hope you'll be back next year... Cheers, D
Thanks for watching and the support
Thank you! Greatly appreciated... Oh and it is Marc with a C ;)
Got it, Marc! Thx for letting me know...
One of the most beautiful cars ever built. You have been so privileged to drive it Shmee. Really enjoyed watching this. Thank you for sharing.
Finally. !!!!!
Edit:
Shmee the work is awesome , I don't want all this effort to reach only around 100k people , I suggest you to sponsor it .
A lot of work has gone into it by @BenzeneBen and the team, so I hope you enjoy!
Minanshu M Yeah unfortunately these videos never do that well. 60k views a few days later.
Brilliant!!! You really captured the spirit of the Mille Migila, the music, the editing were perfect. I loved the short graphics, things which would of taken a while to make, but really added to the video. I don't usually comment, but felt compelled to this time. I waited until i could watch it in one sitting, glad i did, hopefully others are too as this deserves more than the 60k views it currently has.
Thanks for your kind words and let's hope it has a really long tail and will get a lot more views.
Car, driving, atmosphere, MM, editing
ALL GREAT!
One of your best contributions. Very well done, Team Shmee!
That is insane production quality. Amazing work to produce one long aftermovie instead of just shooting 4 VLOGs on the go.
That camera shift from the GTR to the 300SL tho at 5:15 😍
Didn't know there was such a competitive angle to the Mille Miglia with all that timing going on.
Thought it was just a bunch of lads with golden oldies having a bit of a roadtrip.
Amazing thing that a whole country shuts down and celebrate the passion for cars like that!
Amazing coverage. Tasteful! Well done! Hopefully Team Burton is invited back next year!
What a fantastic movie. I loved every second of it. The wait was 100% worth it.
Congrats on completing the Millie Tim, not to bad a finish either, well done. :-)
Tim thank you for carefully documenting your trip. Great filming and editing Ben. I didn’t know much about Mille Miglia but Mercedes has made it very special by inviting you. The cars and the history. WOW! Bravo!
Tim, you really didn't promise too much. This is by far one of your best videos. Thanks for the content and thanks to your team.
Every second of this video was exhilarating. Did not realise it was a 44 minute video. Kudos to Benzene Ben for the awesome edit.
What an insane opportunity!! You and your team outdid yourselves on this one 👍👌👏
Wow thanks Shmee for posting this I loved that video
Love the pure mechanical engine sound of the Gullwing
It's brilliant isn't it
The Mercedes 300SL Gullwing (as well as the convertible version) and the Porsche 550 Spyder have to be the most beautiful, and incredible classic cars ever made. Of course there are more amazingly beautiful and inspiring classic cars to name but those are my two personal favorites that automatically come to mind. What an opportunity to drive that, Tim!
Still going through the video... Still looking for the "I love it button" ;) ... Great job guys, awesome video!
This was just EPIC ! Congrats to Tim and the whole team behind !! Grazie Italia !!!
I can sum this up with one word. WOW!! We thank you Shmee and everyone who brought this to us!!
Bravo Shmee! Amazing vid and experience!!! More classic cars please!😊
The car world doesn't deserve Tim, we're not worthy. Great work as always!
Fantastic video, one of the best ever. Wish i was there with that beautifull car. Mercedes Benz museum i applaud you, what a adventure to give to a youtuber and all the subscribers. Absolute topclass video, ben and Tim always a pleasure to watch you being like a kid in a toystore 😃😜. Great job, guys 👍👌
Getting the Grand Tour vibes here! What an amazing video so far! The passion from people and people honking and cheering makes me smile! The classic piano background really raises the class of the 300SL! Great editing and overall contents! Keep it up!
bless up #Shquad
busy weekend here on the Farm but have looked forward for this epic ride along with you Tim and #teamshmee
enjoy the gift that is each friends,
have a great week one and all
8^)
Getting that Top Gear vibe! The old one, ofc.
Fantastic Tim, we really feel your passion and emotions in these events. Excellent editing as well to capture the romance of it.
What an experience! Thanks for bringing us along. This was perfect :D
What an epic video this was! Damn kept me seated for 44 min straight... Special thanks to Ben for the hard work behind the screen!
What a great adventure. Thanks for sharing, Tim. And what a beautiful car. A trip you will never forget.
What a fantastic video, Tim and co. This is easily the best of the Mille Miglia videos I've seen. Congratulations, too, on an excellent final ranking for your first Mille.
Such a great documentary! Loved every second of it! The production quality is unbelievable!
This is so much fun seeing classic cars finally get some love on this channel. I have to congratulate the editor(s) of this video, it is fantastic.
I keep hoping someday there will be added a classic car to the Schmee150 fleet, maybe an E-type, W113 or an Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint, the possibilities are endless. Good chance Schmee would attract a whole new demographic of viewers.
This is the best video from your channel in my opinion. The way you captured the rally is truly great! Thank you for the hard work to entertain us:)
Your best video ever, Tim. That music, that views, la bella Italia, that amazing car, your truly emotions... Amazing. A present for all of us. Thanks
This is quite a nice way to present the entirety of the Mille Millia. Nice
Hope it gives you some sort of vibe for exactly what this trip is all about!
ben’s hard work paid off!
Thank you so much for sharing such incredible moments! Want to be there to. And I will be! So inspiring!
This is in your TOP3 videos, it is very very very nicely done. Big congratulations to everyone involved in making this ~44 min beauty. This video deserve millions views.
This is what happens when you give Ben some time to edit !!
He's put together a killer edit of this adventure, could not have asked for more! Shout out to instagram.com/benzeneben
Yessir !! we miss him on the videos as well..
Edit and music is top notch Tim, what an adventure. You don’t look tired at all, I thought your back or shoulders would give out. Well done!
I’m lost for words with this it’s just so amazing
EPIC EDITING and filming....hats off to benzeneben and of course Tim
I really enjoy watching this video tim! Having fun with classic environtment, hectic yet relaxing at the same time! Thank you for making this video for us tim!!!!!
Tim, you and Ben knocked it out of the park with this video. Truly worthy of being shown on TV on any number of channels. VERY well done!! (Not to disregard Marc's contribution. I literally don't know if he's involved with the video production)
He has a say in it ;) hahahah
Everything, the production quality, editing, presentation, and most of all the overall feeling of the video is Epic!!! This is great I wish I could do that some day in my life!
What an amazing experience you shared with us, thank you Tim for the passion and inspiration!
Well, that was a brilliant film of a fantastic motor journey!
Easily your best film yet, and well worth the wait!
What a fun trip to watch on a lazy Sunday morning...and I’m sure I’ll be watching it again and again.
Congratulations to Tim, Ben and your entire team on a job well-done! 🇮🇹🏁🇬🇧
Benzine Ben is a good man. Great partner for your road trips. Shout out for him.
Shmee and Shmarc driving the Shmullwing during the Shmille Miglia. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

A beautiful journey, captured perfectly. Well done to Tim and team.

Kudos to you & the gang Tim for a job well done 5-stars! GREAT editing, camera, sound, & music choice. Thanks for making this Daytona chap feel along for the unique adventure & the great sounds you got out of that 300SL! 👍👍👍👍👍
Spotted myself in the crowd, got to see the AMG, great event. Just happened to be in Italy that weekend.
