Exploring Shmee150's CRAZY Car Collection! | Ben Collins Stig

[@Shmee150]

Thanks for coming by! Always a pleasure to catch up; now let's get out on track again... but what will it be driving!?

[@BenCollinsDrives]

Fancy a spot of drifting?😉

[@batialexis9339]

Hour long video, christmas got earlier this year. Thank you both of you guys, we really enjoy your work. Sounds like a generic bot comment but we truly appreciate lmao.

[@VirtousStoic]

😢@Schmee150 alexa is accessed by government agencies without a warrant. Its literally a spy in your home😅 that includes the tax man

[@peterabbott1974]

Shmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee VS DDE 😂😂😂

[@fudganuld]

I'd love to see Ben in the Zenvo....Ha !

[@Mangobrause]

Ben definitely need to visit Misha at the Nürburgring for some laps.

[@wideshadyy]

100%

[@breakupgoogle]

exactly what i thought and was sad they didnt name drop.

[@gpaje]

Tim is a rare collector who actually uses his vehicles, he has spent years growing his collection and driving them all over the world, he has some very expensive cars that he's put more miles than probably anyone, like his Ford GT.

[@captain_context9991]

Such a myth that enthusiasts dont drive their cars. Obviously they do. But they are also very rich and therefore busy doing other stuff too.

[@gpaje]

@@captain_context9991 Absolutely, in fact my post was to head off those who like to automatically comment he doesn't use his cars. One person specifically erased his comment already. I've been subscribed to Tim for many years, the guy uses his cars. Though there are a lot of collectors that aren't enthusiast, more investors.

[@captain_context9991]

@@gpaje And who are they? Manny Koshbin is one guy that really is not a "car guy" and also not really a KZbinr because he only uses expensive stuff to get attention to sell people a get-rich-fast-scheme. But other than that, I dont really know of any.

[@gpaje]

@captain_context9991 I don't actually know a lot of KZbinrs, but in the field I work in, I do know a few rich people who collect cars, motorcycles and art, literally pack them away for years until market conditions say sell. Most recent is a client who sold a Ducati 916 with 0 miles still in the crate. The new owner paid a whole lot of money, not including the fact it would need a complete mechanical restoration for all the dried seals as he intended to actually use it.

[@captain_context9991]

@@gpaje Yeah cars and motorcycles dont like to just stand still. But that also doesnt sound very much like a car enthusiast then. Like people collect art... Because they can speculate in art increasing in value, but thats tax free and better than keeping money in the bank. But the expensive cars today, the collectors items worth millions, are probably the same cars that are gonna be worth multiple millions in a few decades. The best cars... Are already built. Its like classic watches... Nobody collects digital watches. And cars are going digital from here on.

[@DBZYY69]

2:01 cut to Jeremy Clarkson’s adenoidal voice talking about how everyone at the Ferrari owners club sits around discussing chassis numbers

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

lol! Thank you! 😂

[@andrewellis5092]

Tim, you are not super lucky, you are super talented. You’ve made your legacy through that hard work, dedication and a host of skills 👏🏼

[@richtaylor2129]

Love Tim's car collection. His SLS Black Series, GT8 & GT500 sound insane!!

[@liamoreilly308]

Both these gents are Legend's, keep the passion flowing.

[@Richardinho030]

Legend? Please 😂😂

[@SteveJones79]

Brilliant video Ben, your admiration for Tim's analytical mind and his obvious excitement to have the Stig in his garage was self evident which made it a great interesting watch, the hour flew by!!

[@finnkrisDE]

Really like your interview videos Ben, you always let the guests tell their stories. You guys should definitely do a few more shoots together!

[@SapphireSamC]

I’d love to see Ben properly discovering the Nuremberg Ring! That would be a great series of videos.

[@CerberusTenshi]

Nürburgring, nor Nuremberg Ring. The cities of Nürburg and Nürnberg (Nuremberg for the English speaking world) are very different and a couple hundert kilometers away. Nürburg is famous for the Nordschleife, Nuremberg is famous for bratwurst and the trials after WW2.

[@SapphireSamC]

@@CerberusTenshiyawn! Sorry keyboard warrior! Nothing better to do!?

[@ThaDutchDK1989]

SapphireSamC Sorry I hate keyboardwarriors 2 . But if you don’t know how “”somewhat” how nurburgring is spelled and you call Nuremberg -ring it’s quite shocking as a car guy … keyboard warrior is more about spelling rules

[@MicahRenfro]

Stig & Shmee150 should race each other!

[@user-mw9qb2pp9b]

Epic statement, "The GT is in Florida, shall we go". Do it guy's 🤘🏻

[@Carsaddiction]

So cool to see Ben doing the rounds with the KZbinrs we know. PS: I'd be happy to just review the diecast collection for my KZbin channel and tell my audience and "yeah there is the 1:1 stuff downstairs but this is all about the Diecast"

[@jacohauptfleisch935]

Thanks. Great walk through the collection with Tim. Why cant he be like this on his show. I cannot stand his way of presenting of a new car. I watch the parts where does not talk on his channel 😂

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

What a lovely conversation. Very deep and alot of angles that will teach many.

[@watfrd]

"I could go and make the car that I would like, not necessarily the car that the market would like"

[@westekforest1712]

You are exactly correct about persistence being the real secret of success. It's so true that most of who we see as overnight success, spent 10, 15, 20 or even 30 years achieving that success. Present company included. Would love to see both of you do a review of the new Mustang GTD. 6:57 on the Ring )) Certainly not a bag of wet laundry now is it...

[@tomraymond9795]

I think you guys have stumbled on something here. You are like chalk and cheese but with a shared passion and track day and event collaborations with you both would be insane! You could do Schmee ride along Stig hot laps, Schmee fleet leader board as driven by Ben Collins, Stig learns Nordschleife with Schmee and maybe Misha too, Ben Collins teaches Schmee how to Stunt Drive etc etc. The numbers, passion and access to vehicles and media/manafacturer networks guy working with the raw talent, passion and access to legacy and Hollywood media guy. Maybe even with a new shared channel so you could keep doing your separate individual stuff without breaking your algorithms....

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

Schmee and Shtigg

[@SimonH69]

It's great video. I bet a young Tim never thought he would be showing the Stig his car collection. You need to show Tim how to get the best from his new XX - a lot of tyre shredding!

[@Shoultes]

I know what this means to shmee.great content.

[@Moray2023]

5:32 I feel like a booze shelf in the Garage is an accident waiting to happen. 🤣

[@BaldMancTwat]

Jeremy Clarkson had a booze shelf in the back of his Range Rover

[@ajw1983]

What a collection of cars 👌🏻

[@MarcSob22]

Love the 296 and SF90

[@Jerome_TV_01]

What a nice relaxing interview, pleasure to watch :)🚗

[@Marie_West]

Love the content!❤

[@galeng73]

I do like his channel. He's pretty smart and owns some sweet cars. I'm using a nom-de-plume and have a solid collection but my collection (though larger in number) is nothing compared to his collection. I own a lot more *cheaper* cars, usually purchased from Mecum auctions on the slow days.

[@jhudson7240]

I've been subscribed to Shmee since the early days of him having his 1st AMG GT and right before he sold the 911 GT3. Still enjoyed watching this. Can't wait to see the man formerly known as the stig driving the TSRS

[@peterjohn548]

Made to think the start of the AMG GT era is classed as the early days, I been subscribed since before the road trips down to Monaco to see seb with seen through glass and supercars of london

[@norfolkronin6307]

I tune into Schmee. Because it's amazing watching someone turn from a young Timmy Mallet into a Roy Hattersley. Awesome.

[@somerandomfella]

Ben, be yourself, don't be a sellout, switch things up, be different and your channel will be fine.

[@jordang.angell7]

as an American, I can say with certainty those vans will not be taking the US by storm. Never gonna happen. We buy pick-ups, and if we don't want our stuff to get wet, we'll buy a cover for it.

Hold on! Tim, wasn't there an incident in Monaco with the McLaren 650/675 Coupe that knackered the front bumper cover when someone stopped short on you ?

[@gsus111]

Yes, my thought exactly! I found the clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3y6eJqnf6hlrJo

Brilliant :-) Ive watch a few Shmee interviews and this one for me is the best I've seen, Love it! Um Ben.... About the V6 RWD Renault, bit short but I suspect it'd drift well.

Don't worry Ben, I'm watching all of this...Ha!!

[@sumkunt0r]

My son used to arrange his cars in traffic jams because that was what he saw when walking to/from school 😎

[@paulhancock]

Good for Tim having such a brilliant journey and cracking the code very early in this game of how to have a successful 'car collector' KZbin business. 'Personally', I'm not the biggest fan of social media driven collections. It's collecting for the purpose of analytics and buying cars based on a strategy for content rather than just making content about the cars you love. Likewise having to 'play the game' with certain manufacturers but that's the game, not specific to Tim and he's very good at it. He obviously loves cars regardless of all that stuff. I feel Tim always wants to say more about EV's and the fact they make literally no environmental sense or have any benefit for anything other than delivery vehicles and taxis. He's a numbers guy, so he knows... But you have to be careful how much you say working in the automotive space. As I say, good for him, he cracked the code. Great video, Ben. Probably the best Shmee walkaround I've seen. Appreciate you both.

[@brucecameron6910]

Tim is major fan boying but try to keep a limit on it! It’s really ovis he is and was a major top gear fan like most of us men in the UK

[@CerberusTenshi]

If he's a numbers guy, he would know that EVs make environmental sense over the lifetime of a car. If you are like most super popular car youtubers, that buy a new car every year, they don't make environmental sense, but guess what, neither do ICE cars. Or do you think the production of a new ICE car is clean? So your assumption is just plain BS. Does he prefer ICE cars? Definitely. But claiming he "knows the numbers" and therefore would go against EVs is stupid.

[@DrBoobY2K]

I’m sure Shmee is a nice guy, but there is something distinctly un humble about him in this video. I’m aware it is an interview format but I’ve seen Shmee interview billionaire car collectors, or Christian koenigsegg and he is, excuse the language, turbo brown nosing, and it feels like here is someone who is less wealthy and less powerful and he’s just in complete show off mode. All the anecdotes lead to him telling you how great he is “The amount of hours my dad spent trying to beat me on Sega Rally”. It’s all very “needless to say, I had the last laugh.” When you see Tavarish or Mat Armstrong, there is something in their behaviour that is respectfully deferential to Ben, who is still a household name and a national treasure. Shmee talks about knowing what viewers want, well Ben Collins viewers want that. I can’t be the only one who thought this can I?

[@markmac9225]

Completely agree, I follow so many car KZbinrs but Shmee is just one that I can't get along with.

[@xanderlee4733]

I pray you have all of those cars insured! LOL.

[@gpaje]

He's got an extensive videos not only on insurance but maintenance and all other stuff on the BTS of his vehicles.

[@xanderlee4733]

[@antonoat]

Guys that was totally fascinating, thank you both!

[@egyptology22]

But he still can't change a tyre! Ben mate this good by humouring Tim. 25 years ago I used to answer the phone before mobiles, and said hi, smee! Everyone knew who I was. And I built cars. When I was 8 or 9 I had every magazine. I could tell Amy car from a distance. All I wanted was a set of beach buggy night lights! The same as Clarkson who didn't need them.

On todays episode of hoarders.. The rich and selfish edition

[@VirtousStoic]

😢Someone tell schmee alexa is accessed by government agencies without a warrant. Its literally a spy in your home😅

[@BaldMancTwat]

I like how your takeaway is that an Alexa is bad, and not that your government is spying on you. Surely having an Alexa would only very slightly increase the ease of which they could spy on you.

[@estelja]

Complaining about the cost of tires to do drifting while waiting for your SF90XX and 12 Cilindri seems a bit paradoxical.

[@Lamster66]

It's funny but when I first watched one of Tim's videos he was running around like an exited rich kid spotting supercars in Monte-Carlo He seemed like he was wishing for what he'd never have. And came across as a bit of a 8=D Didn't watch him for years then suddenly he was on someone else's channel and he was showing off his cars.And I realised he wasn't a wannabe rich 8=D at all, but a bit of a Petrol Head just a rich one that didn't get his hands dirty.Out of all the youtubers that are having cars restored by YCR Tim is the only one showing genuine interest.

[@andrewtsousis3130]

Great video. Tim needs to just listen a bit instead of butting in as often as he does, but excellent content.

[@danielshinerock1526]

Ferrari most profitable car company.

[@brucecameron6910]

Can see how much shmee is fan-boying over ben but still trying to keep it calm inside!

[@ThaDutchDK1989]

34:00 Ben , maybe you did cause it was in top gear ..

[@breakupgoogle]

I wish Shmees back wasnt broken. i feel he would do more racing and more daring of activities. His collection is nice but its just a car collection. nothing special really happens. Its hard to be original in this space but then again look at matt armstrong. Tim is too stuffy British but thats why he gets invited to all the factory nonsense. People want to see things that others arent doing. Like supercar ron. He will buy a rare F40 LM and go snow drifting. matt armstrong was a bmx rider and waiter but he pushed the envelope of what he could do and its fun to watch. What does Tim do thats original not mass produced polished sterile content. Tim cares more about numbers than cars.

[@williamlevy1981]

I realized not long ago, Tim is very flawed. He doesn't care if he supports Chinese communism. I and others let him know how we felt. He can't take it. He's soft as you imagine he is. His financial obligations are so enormous that he's a slave to being a promotional w hore. It's been a disappointment. There are plenty of enthusiasts that I identify with better. People who work on their cars, on other's cars, or who RACE. HE'S NONE OF THAT. He's a massive giggler. It's STALE. No thanks. ✌🏻

[@breakupgoogle]

also see ben has the right idea with testing the wing on the zenvo. fixed vs active with the old stig is a 5mil view video. tim is scared oc and only thinks about money.

[@chaniapellet]

As much as I want and try to lime this guy. I just can't. Someone tell me whys that?

[@sparky4878]

Shmee? I can't stand him either, just comes across as smug (Shmug) and not genuine. Maybe he's better in person than on camera.

[@LeeM74]

Tim is definitely giving off "look at me.." vibes. Gone off the guy in recent months. I'd rather listen to Ben for an hour.

[@sparky4878]

I gave up watching his stuff. Came here for Ben, not that insufferable smug so and so. I don't think he even knows that much about, or appreciates, the cars beyond beyond expensive toys to show off.

[@alamocannon3791]

Hmmm, Not sure. Has he adht ?

[@2499517]

Can't stand Tim for some reason - jealousy is on top of the list

[@egyptology22]

A guy who can Quote colours vs a guy who drive anything. And Tim thought he'd be interested! Look at the stigs body language....... Tim you've got no idea. Except for knowing the paint colour.

[@davidvasta]

Love you Ben, and I know SCHMEE is YT famous but he gives off such a weird energy...I can't stand to watch him. I have no idea what Germany thinks about him but he is really hard to watch....this one I will hard pass...and wait for the next one.
