Towing My McLaren Senna with the AMG G63 to the Nurburgring!
ฝัง

- I bought the AMG G63 with this plan; to tow my McLaren Senna on an adventure! With a trailer rented for the purpose, the first destination is to the Nürburgring which means hooking things up, getting the Senna loaded, and cracking on in the G63 to Germany. It's amazing to finally make this happen!
The original plan for my AMG G63 was to use Topaz Skin to match the dual-tone blue paintwork to the MSO Cerulean Blue of the McLaren Senna, and to take my towing license in order to pull it around to various events, tracks and locations. The very day of collecting the G63 from Topaz Detailing in blue was the day of the incident to the Senna, meaning it couldn't happen for the first 6 months, then it was winter time, and then the virus arrived so it has taken an entire year until I've been able to put this plan into action.
Fortunately having taken and passed the trailer license test last summer, having both cars available to head off, a trailer to rent with thanks to Barwell Trailers, and the Nürburgring calling out for the Senna to drive it again, all the dots join together to give it a first go! First up is to head over to Topaz where my 675LT Spider has been delivered for PPF, as has the trailer which thanks to the help of Tony from Turbo Transport we can hook up to the G63 and then load up the Senna - my first time being responsible for doing this myself, but hopefully the first of many to come.
Spread across two days, after loading up the trailer the first leg is out of London to an overnight stop before continuing with horrendous traffic over to the Eurotunnel. In typical fashion, after going through France, Belgium then brings with it some torrential downpour before the last stretches on the German Autobahn towards the Nürburgring ahead of what looks set to be some epic fun to come with the McLaren Senna.
I've rented the trailer from Barewell Trailers: / barwelltrailers

Thanks for watching, Tim

When I bought the AMG G63 this was always in the plans, making it the same Cerulean Blue specifically to tow my McLaren Senna around on adventures! With delays thanks to the incident last summer, winter and the virus, it might be a year later than intended but it's time to get on the roads to the Nurburgring to put the plan into action.
I cannot wait to see what the senna gets up to and it's amazing to see the g with the senna being towed together
nice
Justin Scott could be any car in that covered trailer 💦💦💦
Buy the trailer, wrap it in Team Shmee livery!
It would be cool to see all of your cars on the Nurburgring at the same time.
He comes back and forth from Germany like it’s his local racetrack just down the road 🤣
dom cusano On point 😂😂😂
Just a mere 9 hour drive in a car, 11-12 with a trailer, it's nothing! 🤣
@@Shmee150 hi
@@Shmee150 It takes more then that to get through some States here in the US lol
@@struckanerve5 I knew you were from the US when you used the wrong "than".
It is like watching Tim become a “real” man loading up a trailer........ so proud
I'm genuinely having a lot of fun doing it too!
Shmee150 good lad 👍
😂😂
*Pinocchio voice*- IM A REAL BOY
Thank you Tony for your help.
8:20 Even the straps to hold the car down are MSO Cerulean Blue.
Barwell Trailers genuinely planned that one!!
I’m sure mcclaren will supply matching Kevlar reinforced straps with (natch) carbon ratchet mechanisms for a modest 😱 fee
Shmee150 😂😂😂 brilliant!! That’s service for you 👍🏼
I also noticed 😉
Imagine if he wrapped the trailer blue as well
I'd love to do something like that when I have my own trailer in future
Having a distinct color would be also useful in the case of the trailer and it's contents being stolen.
@@Shmee150 then you can transport you shmeemobiles anywhere you want
And put topaz ppf on it
@@hakeemfontenard1454 Y e s
At this point, shmee might as well have a garage next to the nurburgring
😂😂 Don't give him ideas!
Yes give him ideas, he's looking for somewhere to have the museum.
he's basically been using Apex as his garage lol
The museum will be in the UK
should put his shmuseum in Germany
Yess finally it's happening have been waiting for this day
Took me long enough hey
11:41 Guys like a quest NPC giving you a quest to go shred the Nurburgring "Safe travels!!!"
Good effort on the loading/ reversing of the trailer with such a precious cargo👍
Thanks 👍 Definitely took that one super carefully
@@Shmee150 👍🏁
If I had a dollar for every time Tim says “I need to stop for fuel” I would fill my tank up.
Having never been to Europe, you're making it mighty enticing- Everything seems so connected! Awesome content - a dream!
This was one of the best videos so far in my opinion, still remember like yesterday when you bought the G63, and now with the trailer. Amazing content Tim!! Can't wait for the next video!!
“Is that a supra?” I didn’t know you that guy Tim
Who whouldnt say that... 😅
Francisco Lacerda I guess😂
@minsupra on Ig
GTclips oh thanks
I've followed that supra on Insta for ages.. @Min_Supra
Damn nice upload schelule my dude
Nice Tim, great seeing this shift in your videos and you getting proper involved, awesome direction for the channel dude, good work man
Excellent video, practical Shmee, thank you!
The cream of Tim’s collection is at the Nurburgring ready for action 😎
2:50 imagine the Supra driver thinking he has the coolest car on the road and then Shmee parks right behind him with the Senna🤣
Supra is still cooler
They're both pretty cool & legendary
Man Tim I love your Nürburgring content, I'm from a small village an hour away from the ring and currently working abroad. Feels like being there with some nice cars and helps to cure homesickness. Thanks for that, take care!
Man I really love to see your videos. You‘re always excited and happy :D And watching you preparing the trailer was interesting!
G wagon finally getting to do it's proper job!!. love it
Using it as intended! This is what I bought it for and it does the job perfectly
Don't woosh me but with the current g its meant for celebs who live in a mountain
Shmee150 are u going to take the g63 to the Nurburgring as well? That should make for a fun video
18:28 @Shmee150 with the flex downshift. Haha. Love it.
Keep up the good content! I have been waiting for this video!
Well done Tim. What an adventure. Fantastic set up.👍👍
Already know this is going to be a great video
Hope you enjoy it
" Living The Supercar Dream " 😍❤
Shmee you are fr the best. Doing your own work! Good man. Love to see the process,
This is awesome, been looking forward to this video awhile and it’s great to see finally 👍 well done towing and everything, potentially more challenging than driving a super car at first!
To find Shmee just go to the Nürburgring and wait and it won’t take long for him to appear.
About eleven minutes, I’d estimate.
Ace55 just wait at either end of the Channel tunnel
Looking forward to seeing the next video with Misha, btw guess who made a Doug Demuro compilation !!
This is unbelievable! What a life you have man hard work pays off sir
Congratulations Tim! You’ve finally made the trip planned from day one!!!
you drove that trailer on the train like you did it a million times already :O
Tony has taught Tim a lot.
Are you at supercarsunday in the Netherlands? (September 20)
I'm afraid I don't know yet, let's wait and see
That's on my birthday 🎂
@@SandeepSingh-mx4kh mine too
What's the location of this event ?
@@SandeepSingh-mx4kh my birthday is the 21st :D
I loved seeing you out of your element Tim. Shows your great attitude. Also humanising when we compare it to you rattling off 10 different models in 30 seconds, peppered with really interesting facts in a single take with the confidence like you created the car yourself.
Well done Tim, driven like a professional ...
Bib has been towed in his Peugeot 106 diesel many times. Usually by the AA.
Oh Bib!
@Hayden Scott Shmee often replies to people as low down in the pecking order as Bib The Boulder....Bib knows his place, and that's clearly behind the comedic wordsmith otherwise known as Hayden Scott...
2:56 BRO, IS THAT A SUPRA!!!
8:32 sounds like an F or E #.
IS THAT A SUPRA?
F = E#
E# is F.
FE = #
Sounds like just an E
Hat off to you Tim, been a while waiting for this to happen but u have delivered, keep up the good content n I look forward to senna on the ring
Cool trip. Looking forward for the upcoming vlogs !
Tim should just Permanently move to Germany and buy a property near the Nurburgring he would be happier than being in the U.K where he can visit on weekends 😂
Private Person i‘m sure a Flat is way cheaper here aswell
That’s where he should buy his garage for his collection. Tim always says that he doesn’t want garage queen cars. So being near the Ring and autobahn is every automotive enthusiast dream.
Would also mean more Nürburgring content which is always appreciated!
Wouldn’t work with the UK registrated cars
Living next to a race track isn’t as nice as it seems
Any plans to include an Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA to the collection?
Certainly plans to take a look at it very soon
Oh yes, please that car looks fantastic.
Definitely 👍 need take a look at it
It just reminded me of my first ever track day... tons of fun and every time thinking of then brings smile on my face!
The long awaited day has come, I feel a excited as you Shmee!
Funny the straps are blue too
Does Tony's Ram have the hemi or the ecodiesel V6?
5.7 Hemi according to Instagram. The Hemi actually has a higher towing capacity than the ecodiesel.
Jim Wilson who the fuck has a ram with a v6? 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ hemi is always the option to right? 🤷🏽♂️
Isai Lopez someone would. Like, driving 600-800+ km of range in a single tank of fuel.
@@jojodivas9211 yeah. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the same V6 diesel and I can get 1100 km easily on the highway
@@isailopez4132 in Europe it is cheaper to tax and run a diesel (of this size) since diesel is usually cheaper than petrol and more efficient. If someone does have a V8 Ram (in Europe) 99% of the time it is converted LPG since it is even more cheaper than petrol or diesel.
Please feature Tony a lot more on the channel, Schmeebee bb! ♥ :D
We will!
Loven this stuff Shmee! And WoW that G Wagon, it’s such a Beast!
I'm so excited watching your journey to nurburgring and watching your amazing Senna on this "ring" . I hope you have a good and safe journey to Germany. Greetings from Czech republic 🇨🇿.
Thank you!
Can we have a blue wrap for that trailer 😅
I mean it’s a rental, so it doesn’t make much sense
SS yes but I imagine if he was to buy one it would be similar
tommclaren04 I mean then it would make sense to wrap it. But I don’t see that as a possibility because he’s gonna have to rent another parking spot to store that just for occasional use
@@_shubham_s maybe in the future shmee garage🤷🏻
“Hi Guys, I’m Shmee, hello and welcome back to the channel! “ NEVER FAILS LMAO
Cheerssssssss 😉
Hats off to you for showing us as you're learning. I certainly would be very nervous first time round hitichng up a trailer with a rather expensive car in the back. Let alone videoing it. Well done 👍🏻
Very cool trailer mr. Shmee, the best!
😂As soon as Shmee says “you guys Know Belgium” you know there’s Traffic
It's getting familiar isn't it!
Hi Tim!!! Did you hear the news regarding the Senna LM crash in Monaco this past weekend???
Maverick 😔
@Alex's Flight Channel Yes very unfortunate considering how rare the car is but thankfully there were no serious injuries.
Yeah it was crashed by adrian suttil I think
Congrats Shmeeee Dream come true!! Keep dreaming and keep amazing us!! Thank you!! Cheeeeeers!!
I loved seeing you actively learning how to do this on your own and not relying on someone else to tow your vehicles!
I need to know the mpg on that G63 journey 😂😂😂🤔
11:32 matching spec GT2RS
Always love your AMG G63 towing!
It may seem like a very specific and small dream to some, but it’s one of your dreams. I’m very glad you get to realize your dreams! Thank you for sharing, and keep living your passions!
Some plans for a open trailer maybe? With some sort of protection on the front so the senna don’t get dirty. Maybe a topaz skin blue trailer 😂!
It would be fun to do for a one off event, but this is a whole big tour so I need it closed as there are other elements involved
It would be cool if he had an Urus in Cerulean Blue. Finally there would be a Lamborghini in the garage to tow the Senna
Naahh
That would be mega, would love to see an Urus on the channel
Cerulean Blue Urus with a 1016 widebody
Urus aint a carguy car, its a showcar
Corné de Vries well a G Wagon is a show car too so doesn’t really matter 🤷🏻♂️
Hell yes! I am so freaking excited for you, Shmee! You set out to do this so long ago, so this is a dream a long time in the making. Your content has been outstanding the last few months, and now it is obviously only just going to get better!
Thank you so much!!
Shmee150 No problem at all! Thanks so much for replying! You are just the best.
you did us all proud tim well done on your first towing expedition
Tony Is So Professional About Trailler He Nees To Having His Own Channel I Think
hi shmee im guys
Hey! Thanks for first comment
@@Shmee150 Notification Squad! :)
In that configuration, that’s literally the coolest combo of cars in the world. The most incredible track car in tow by one of the best sounding cars out there. Both with matching beautiful paint jobs... Congratulations to doing what would be another’s fantasy. Those two along with the GT would be permanent members of the collection.
*Absolutely great content!*
Who's waiting for a pickup truck added to the shmeemobiles?
👇
Pick-up truck in the uk ?
They don't have them in the EU. They have little "trucks" like Ford rangers, but nothing that can pull a real trailer. Anything bigger and you need to take a 96 hour classroom training, 32 hour on-road field training, a 8 hour in-calass exam, 6 hour on-road exam, pay $7600€/£ license,100k €/£ insurance, and monthly booster training and drug screening. Then you get to travel at a maximum of 80 kph (48 mph).
As ever, an enjoyable video... Makes you feel like you are part of the supercar experience and lifestyle
EPIC combo
Shmee you are incredible! There is no other TH-camr that brings down 4 of his Cars to the Ring. Keep doing this amazing stuff!! 💪🏼💪🏼
You really are living my dream life, just driving and enjoying beautiful and amazing cars 😭❤️
Awesome video! Love this kinda content.
Do more videos like this. Very interesting. 👍🏼
And I love both cars 👌🏽
What an absolutely beautiful trailer!!!! oh and the senna of course.
Beautifully done Sir!
I like these video’s! It’s like we are going with you on adventure to the ring. Better than only posting the hot laps on the ring. Asalways, the content is really top quality!
fair play shmee great to see the senna back at the nurburgring again cheers steve 👍 😀
I love how u have been back to London and to Germany in different cars every time over the past few months
This is life goals! This is absolutely sick. I hope you enjoy your stay in Germany! All the best! 👍🏻
Thank you! Will do!
Returned my trailer to Barwell Trailers the same time as you Shmee! I have to say your rig with the ‘G’ so much more impressive than my humble mk2 Tiguan Sport... what a great company Barwell Trailers are though! Impressed they even supplied blue straps specially for you... good to meet you mate! Cheers....
Hi Tim. Really enjoying your content and keep it up. Best youtuber ever. Been a fan for a very long time now
Loving this content Tim well done 👌🏼
Now you really made it. A completely normal (consistently hard working, charismatic and fun) person towing a Senna in a matching G63, like a full on race car driver - That's so cool to see. You definitely deserve this. Well done Shmee! Wish you could see the car through the trailer though. Translucent aluminum trailer?
There’s nothing more satisfying than completing goals in life keep up the grind 👍👍
You did all the trailer thing on your own Shmee! Well done! You are a fast learner and Tony also is a good instructor :)
Live your best life young man 🙌🏽
All jokes aside, love the set up Tim, and looking forward to the actual next video!
Shmee I have to say that is some combination of cars and colours. Loving it. Keep it up mate.
Tim, this is bloody awesome!
Well done! I grew up on a farm learning to back a trailer early. Once you get the technique down it is not difficult, but many people never get it. Certainly not easy the first few times so well done. Not many people could tuck one in tight to the wall like that.
One of your bucket list items right there
The work horse is finally working 🙌 am excited
Can't wait for the next installment!
Winning!!!
So glad to see the combo together at nurburgring. 🤓
That combo
so cool
Smooth and safe. Very nice.
You get a like from me for driving straight into the entrance with your trailer and a big G like a pro
Hey Tim it’s nice to see that you can keep getting videos filmed and edited and put out daily in COVID-19
