TAVARISH TO THE RESCUE! My Ford GT in the Workshop

[@Shmee150]

My limited edition Ford GT USA posters are available in the Shmee150 eBay shop: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235803534745

[@norfolkronin6307]

Just came from Yorkshire car restoration. They are definitely doing you proud.

[@captain_context9991]

Fact is Ford wanted to use the very cool engine out of the Mustang 350R for this car. Back when Ford USA tried to design this car themselves. Starting with a Mustang chassis. Then they tried and failed a lot, and they bought a Ferrari LeMans car to benchmark it and realised there was nothing they could do to make their car competitive against the Ferrari. This project was called Project Silver. And they were dead set on that Mustang V8. Then they scrapped it and again brought in the Brits with a hell of a lot different competence and the Ford GT was born as you know it today. But to be competitive and give it a winning chance, they wanted to circumvent the rules a bit and give the car more than legal aero surface. Hence the flying buttresses that were a way to bend the rules somewhat. But then the V8 engine wouldnt fit. And thats basically how they ended up on the V6. There is no way they would have made that decision if it wasnt for the circumstances.

[@carlvonmosch5925]

If you ever release this again for the US viewers I would love on. Sad I missed this. Cheers Tim! Love what you do for the automotive space. Keep up the good work.

[@tavarish]

No sweat! Except for the sweat pouring from my head :)

happy holidays guys its been an epic year and cant wait for your 2025 content

How sick does Freddy look 😅

@tavarish you are such a kind and ace dude happy holidays 🎉

Not an Aventador just a vent and a door 😂 bro you made me choke on my coffee 🤣👊🏼

Nice to have trustworthy friends to look after things like that beautiful GT. Peace of mind for sure.

The Launch control sounds so good

[@Mo_Faiz7]

Indeed!! The only friend i would trust is Tavarish!! What a great guy!!

[@spgaudiotek]

It's always exciting to see your progress and adventures. I have been watching since you're Focus GT! ❤😮

Eyy. Collab again🎉. Never gets old🥰

[@rxmclaren7]

We all need more Tavarish and SHMEE content... they work so well together! Would love to see a road trip across Europe with those two, that would be awesome...

[@Rocky-hh3yg]

With such a mileage sensitive car, I really approve of its use in the US. Much better than batting round Slone Street for example.

[@Shmee150]

Firm believer that cars like this should be enjoyed properly; but it did so much in 2023 and 2024, that 2025 will certainly be a quiet break; I don't see it doing a lot

[@nigelyorkshiremanwadeley6263]

Is that a Holden Commodore Ute I see at 21:25 next to the 240Z?

[@GregCrellin]

definitely looks like a Holden Commodore Ute. That would be very rare in the USA.

[@murdoch9106]

The GT40 might be one of my favorite super cars, you can see on the reactions here and people said it from the first drives in this thing, its pretty raw and honest and its the things that normally is missing in modern cars and this thing bring a bit of that back it seems, and the styling has grown on me too, it was always good looking but at first I felt it was a bit too plain but I love it now, I can look at this thing all day, I think your spec helps! This is what you hope to see, even as a viewer, this truely obvious honest reaction, not saying people lie, but you could really tell that he was not expecting it to feel so good and be such an honest car!

[@thomasassim-ita1787]

Such a beautiful GT car! I love seeing you both together. Great video Shmee. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

[@Needmorew33d]

Freddie might actually be the goat of the auto KZbin ish

[@callyk5678]

Love that shmee uses these cars and doesn’t care at all about the mileage, I know if I was to ever buy a supercar I’d want one that was regularly used and maintained to a high standard than a garage queen with an inflated price because of the low miles. Trick is buying a used car that’s been meticulously maintained with no expense spared like tim maintains his. Love the new format tim much more enjoyable content. Hats off to listening to what people want and delivering 👍👌

[@22Epic]

Nice Snoopy!

[@Shmee150]

Nicely spotted

[@taylorj959a]

I'm curious, how much notice do you have to give to ship the vehicle? How long from drop off to pickup does it take? what about concern of damage? lastly cost?

[@Shmee150]

Notice - the more time helps, to block a spot on a ship (which needs loading in the container at a facility, transport over etc), but you can do it 2 weeks before maybe Drop-off to Pickup - depends on the route but NE USA to UK is a regular route, so 2 weeks, maybe 3 depending on ship timetables (and Xmas/New Year holidays etc) Concern of Damage - always, but that's what insurance is for, I have an all-risk policy for this type of thing with guaranteed value Cost - varies dramatically depending on route, direction, time of year, spontaneous load etc. It can be from $2K to $10K for half a 40ft container, plus insurance, and you've got to factor in customs fees and other charges

[@JustinMcFly1980]

A vent and a door 😂😂

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Shmee150 Great Video I'm glad your Absolutely Gorgeous Ford GT on it's way back to the UK and I can't wait to see it back at Shmuseum and I'm glad Freddie helped you get it prepared for transport

When is the cleetus colab going to happen

[@vinaashak]

Right! Don’t think I’ve heard him mentioned on this channel before.

[@LiqdPT]

1:42 hang on, there's a restaurant chain called "Ford's Garage?". As a car enthusiast and American, I have never heard of this... oh, the vast majority are in Florida, and there's a few others scattered around the east and one in Texas. Ya, I think they're all thousands of miles from me.

[@Shmee150]

You'll have to track one down at some point though now! I first went in Detroit in 2019, but a few times since

[@LiqdPT]

@Shmee150 ya, Detroit is 2300 miles from me :) But Detroit was on my list of places to check out. Hopefully the US car companies haven't totally dismantled their museums...

[@jwalster9412]

As a Canadian, that's on the other side of the planet and I now know it exists but will likely never go there in my life.

Tim, have you seen novitec's purosangue? Definitely time for you to back there. Considering youve added a few prancing horses to your collection.

Of course, but the car to make loud would be the 12Cilindri not the comfortable daily cruising Purosangue

@Shmee150 completely agree with that one. We all know how beautifully the dodici could potentially sound based on the 812 especially the novitec versions.

And to you!

[@aaron5703]

I have been watching every video you've uploaded since late 2014, often multiple times. I have to say that I'm feeling a little disconnected from your videos lately, it feels like one video you're in the US, the next your in the UK, the next your in Germany and then the next your back in the US. I don't feel like I'm part of the Shmee journey anymore and feel like you're only making videos as a product now. Just a bit of feedback, I will still continue to watch everyone of your videos.

[@Shmee150]

Appreciate the support, and sorry you feel that way. Truthfully, it was far more the case around 2017-2020, living between two countries and flying more than twice as much as the recent years. It should be, for example, that the last 5 videos are all in Florida, so there's a consistency to the location. We haven't even been in Germany since the first week of October, nearly 3 months ago.

Anyone else notice the rust on the center of the wheel hub? Surprised to see a newer car rusting already. Almost like the cybertrucks

[@Shmee150]

Most of my cars that are actually driven with loads of miles tend to have this eventually; it's nothing out of the usual - maybe that's a UK climate thing.
