NYC SHUTDOWN! Chasing TheStradman's Custom Lamborghini Aventador to Times Square

What a coincidence finding James @TheStradman in New York City too! It's time to shut down Times Square with his completely custom built Lamborghini Aventador Roadster with Liberty Walk widebody and insane Rosa Acantis paint, and my Shelby GT500... absolute chaos!
The last time I saw this very car, it was a standard looking Pirelli Edition Aventador LP700-4 Roadster, ready and awaiting the treatment under the knife. Since then, James has literally taken a brave pill, chopped it up and installed the LB Limited Edition widebody kit, painted the entire car Rosa Acantis, made a totally bespoke interior, and fitted some Vossen 3-piece wheels. Safe to say, he has made this car his own, and it absolutely looks the part!
However, ahead of an event with Lamborghini Paramus, step one is to track down Strad and the Lambo in Manhattan - shouldn't be too hard right?! It's a big place, but that's one bright car, and near the Vessel we manage to find him to take a look at it and all of the modifications that have been made. From there, it's a cruise together with my Shelby GT500 through Times Square and the absolute CHAOS of downtown New York.
It's always amazing to catch up with James, he's one of the nicest guys in the Car KZbin world and always super fun to meet up with!

One thing to remember when driving in NYC. When someone uses their turn signal. They aren't asking to change lanes they're telling you they are coming over, and you better make room.

[@Richard--99]

Lol

[@Shmee150]

Haha that's so true

[@anixie]

Thats totally normal in Paris too.

[@ignorthepain]

If they signal at all.

[@fredyllanos8972]

Facts. I feel like I’m the only one that signals in NYC, at times.

[@PsunnProductions]

I love seeing strad in other people’s videos where he’s not constantly over the top yelling into the camera. Wayyy more genuine and likeable

[@Drew_Dannie]

I was going to say the same thing.

[@SkodaYetiFan]

Yup talked to him at Monterey car week a few years ago, genuinely an amazing man.

That is why i do not watch stradman channel. He does sometimes overact tho 😑

Agreed

“The taxi drivers who are out to get you, wherever you go “….. now if that isn’t complete understanding of NY tri-state traffic, I don’t know what is 🤣🤣🤣…. Another reason why I moved to Ohio.

James is one of my favorite car vloggers. Few guys can pull off owning 6 Lamborghini's while seeming humble. I think it's great he brought his friends up with him, and how all of the Utah guys seem to support each other.

The next few weeks are going to be incredible! The American content never fails to be epic. Perhaps within the next couple of years it'll be amazing to get some of the guys from the US over, with their cars, to the UK and Germany for a European adventure. Goodwood F.O.S followed by some Nurburgring action all hosted at the Shmuseum. It would also be hilarious watching them drive down an English B-road! 👀 Fantastic work as always!

[@LBExoticsFan]

Totally agree…that would shut down KZbin there’ll be so many views…

Tim, Great job again, you have gotta be the HARDEST-WORKING person on KZbin -- I really appreciate all that you do to provide content. Most folks who live on the US Easy-Coast would never drive in NYU and I think you can see why.

[@TheKamikazebot]

The Strad / Shmee content is still my favorite collab content around.

[@jcc3494]

[@baningincali8938]

so happy that you and James collab. enjoy your stay in NYC. love both of your cars. hope more collab for the two of you. it was a fun drive in NYC.

[@jelvir10]

One thing I appreciate is not just the passion for cars but that you're also still a great humble car spotter, that I seen many years ago following your channel while you do your own road car drives, is amazing how you still spotting nice cars in the wild while driving a great car on your own, respect.

[@Borg561]

I can't think of a better collaboration than Tim and James. Two of the greatest and most down to earth car KZbinrs. And I agree with James' idea, we need your STO and his Aventador together.

[@Squidgy55]

I've actually never seen James so pumped on someone else's video. He's usually quite reserved in cameos.

[@csmith4131]

What shmee calls the traffic jams absolutely ridiculous we New Yorkers call it “ the weekend” hope you enjoyed the big apple again boss man!!

Oh man Tim! That approach from route 4 is always a pain in the you know what.. lol.
