FERRARI ROAD TRIP DISASTER! Stranded on My Purosangue Tour

[@Shmee150]

I'm going to be back in Belgium in January for the Brussels Auto Show from 17th to 21st January, 2024 at the Brussels Expo! I'll be at the Car Catwalk with the likes of Enzo Knol and POG and there's going to be a LOT to see. Make sure to grab your tickets now: www.brusselsautoshow.com/tickets

[@christopherrains1457]

I live only a few minutes walk from where you were staying in Brussels. Would love to have seen the car. Will try to go to the car show. Good luck for the rest of the trip.

[@itunnu5103]

I know how it feels to have a tire breakdown in a supercar (they don't come with spear tires). It once happened to me in my new M5 comp after hitting a curb on a Saturday evening far from home. The car has to be towed and I've to wait 3 days to get a new tire shipped to the repair shop. By the way, I like your grey hoodie coat. It looks great on you. Do you mind sharing the link to get it? Thanks

Yess never see Tim ever been that angry. Well you know you fuck it up when you get Tim all angry. And not again a tire🤦‍♂️

[@ian_ford]

That's as heated as I've seen Tim get on camera in 9 years. I'm sure he's had other moments, but I don't blame him. If his patience was tested to that extreme, it had to have been an atrocious experience.

Well said there... Sadly it generates a bad image for the rest of Belgium as well

[@BinaryBlueBull]

@@AB-80-X Belgian here. Can confirm. That's why I moved to the Netherlands. Much better in more than a few key areas. Doesn't surprise me one bit that this happened in Liège though. I could fill a few hours with stories of my experiences of doing business there, or rather trying to do business. Only city that's worse in my experience is Charleroi

[@laurensc2094]

Exactly, Also as a flemish I didn't expect anything more from a customer service in Liège

[@DenisQuentinSimon]

Yes. As a Belgian living around Namur, I can fully subscribe to what you say about Liège… I am doing everything I can to leave this country, I can’t take it anymore…

[@thomasdeman9239]

I am Belgian and I fully admit customer service sucks in our country, it enrages me so much! Glad you shine some light on something that needs to be improved!!

[@DenisQuentinSimon]

Yep. I am Belgian and fully subscribe to what was said. Especially around Liege airport. I always had bad experiences there…

[@Goxilla]

[@irfanj]

I love how Shmee went from full bad mood and lights up completely after he saw the Ferrari showroom 😂

[@JohnRobbfl]

Been watching Tim for 7+ years and never seen him even remotely upset - I can only imagine how bad he was treated.

[@KGVirus]

These videos are so fun to watch, do more of these, and do not skip the drama. It is the highlight of the video in my opinion.

[@NijeBitno72]

14:09 wow, never seen Tim this agitated before, a guy who usually goeas around obstacles with a smile on his face, seeing him this angry you know it's bad. Edit: 16:14 that transition though 😄 glad to see good old Shmee again 😁

[@joelpecker5819]

Well it’s nice to know I am not the only one that has bad days! Tim just documented his bad day on video for the rest of the world to see and I loved hearing his rationale behind how every little thing affected the overall plan as bad as I feel for him on this trip.

[@ismail_cgt_spots_]

i really like the no filter side of this video it shows that going into a long roadtrip isn't as easy as it looks as if things don't just happen by magic but it happens by a lot of planning and scheduling things step by step in order to make it happen and have all the content to share thanks for all the efforts tim it is hightly appreciated 🙏🙏

[@_NCO]

Tim, you are truly a example for many young man, your calm demener is something everyone should learn from! and then once again you get "screwed" by a nail in your tire. lets home things go uphill from here, Much Love from Germany.

[@andrebaron1387]

I'm sorry it went so poorly for you @shmee150. I believe the correct word for how you were feeling after finally getting the key is livid. I know you've had a rough few of days of things not working, but things will get better! I will also say, while it must have sucked for you to live it, and I wouldn't want you to go through this, I do appreciate the video and you showing us the good and the ugly.

[@markwilson4878]

I loved this video to be fair, not relishing in any misfortune but it's good to see people, and KZbinrs show a range of emotion and reality of life. Hope you don't have to suffer this again but always good to see a variety of experiences

[@TheFozzy222]

Thank God you speak out and say it how it is, you are a calm man but sometimes this needs to be said. Well done Tim and I hope the rest of the trip goes well. You do great work on here and its great to come along on your trips, through your videos, thank you again 👍

[@grigiogt8793]

This was a fantastic vlog showing the realities of taking a Supercar on road trip. It also is a lesson to those who think about being entrepreneur but aren’t. Well done for staying positive and getting through all the challenges. Keep moving forwards!

[@topwrapzltd]

Honestly..... Tim i actually really enjoyed seeing the OTHER side to this life that we don't often see, the frustration you displayed i actually felt it for you and could visibly see the anxiety but it made for a very relatable video. Let me share my day a few years go, i had a trip just like this in one of my own toys for a routine checkup at hospital for some niggles, not only was the journey as disaster ( traffic, car playing up) , i got told in the appointment ive got advanced stage cancer, i kid you not! The worst day ever...... now days every crappy day i somehow spin it on its head and find gratitude for even being able to experience that crap day! I am alive and well in remission and rolling with life's punches. If possible find the gratitude in moments like these, great video and cant wait to see more adventures with the purosang!

[@Acquiesce77]

As awful as this trip has gone consider all of the trips you have done with no issue! Love the honesty in the video and you can see the frustration and deflation.

[@RantzCore]

After the tire puncture, it reminded me of 2 tire punctures I had with new tires less than a week from one another back in September. Luckily, I have a great warranty for my tires and the Michelin Cross Climate 2s I have are a wonderful all year around tire. (As for incompetent people, they're everywhere, unfortunately) I applaud your patience and calm nature, Tim. I appreciate your videos, and thanks for sharing!

[@E46nightmares]

You’ve definitely handled that string of unfortunate circumstances better than I think I would. Always a good man for other to look up to!!👍👍🤟🤟

[@michae8jackson378]

I know you won't see this this far into the comments, but this might be my favorite Shmee video. The "Real" ness of this, life is everchanging. We get frustrated, mad, plans change constantly. I love this one. I'm sorry you had to deal with all of it, but I appreciate you showing it all! Safe travels!

Sadly Tim it’s 2023 and there’s a real lack of work ethic these days. We can feel your frustration and I’m sure most of us can relate

[@HiddenWen]

I also wouldn't be surprised if they behaved the way they did because they saw Tim and the vehicle he was driving. That's just a reflection of the state of the world these days, with the poor economy.

[@billyboy3053]

Top tip Shmee, when you start a journey never go back home for something else then start again, always ends in disaster when you do. You should’ve just carried on and stayed in Belgium on the 1 night.

[@cylindricalfire]

Its truly a sight to see Tim that angry. i couldnt imagine what those people must have been like to make a teddy bear like Tim actually mad

[@cylindricalfire]

also, not that he would see this, but Tim, with all of your frustrations with just trying to drive on the Autobahn, i assure you just seeing the Purosangue and your effort of trying to enjoy such a piece of art, and to provide us with entertainment, is just nice and makes me as a viewer feel important as you show us your experiences

[@marcupton9705]

This is why Tim is the OG...no silly clickbait titles, full transparency and shows it how it is. That Purosangue is soooooooo nice.

[@Speedy4417]

I know how that side of my country is, I am a Belgian myself, from Flanders (the dutch speaking northerns part of the country for those who are not in the know). The complaints that you are having with those people is exactly the complaints I’ve been having for years about the french speaking Walloons. I will preface that not everyone is like that, and me having my family being 40% from there, I feel bad for those who are being pushed into the same boxes. In any case, I’m sorry for what happened to you Tim, I hope you won’t have to go through that again. Cheers!

[@fs3640]

As soon as I heard - in the previous Zeno episode- that the car had transited in Liege, it was pretty obvious that the key was “lost” during that part of the uk-usa car shipment. And bingo, it was confirmed 5’ later in that episode. Hence, totally unsurprising to now hear about the “5* customer service”… But, don’t forget that once you’ll be living in independent Flanders, Wallonia will remain your first trading partner…

[@Simplyput3451]

Tim, your videos were too perfect (a great team effort), so seeing the real effort you and your team put into entertaining us is appreciated.

[@jo05dk]

I can't even imagine how trash those people must have been, to make Tim, the always positive, friendly and polite brite, this angry. Not that i will be flying anything anywhere anytime soon, but warning has been noted. Makes me happy to see such a bad couple of days end on such a high note. Well deserved, after all you guys went through. Here's to no more issues on this roadtrip.

[@patteyh]

Never seen you this mad and deflated, but thank you for being real and sharing your emotions with us! Hope the journey goes smoother later on!

[@all-caps3927]

I definitely respect Tim's transparency on this trip. Call out the idiots who dealt with the Zenvo and expose the world to their muppetry. That nail and the engine warning light as well, my goodness it couldn't have been much worse.

[@f.kieranfinney457]

Watching this rich choad ‘struggle’ when faced with minor problems is very entertaining. More Shmee world problems please!

[@alanzyoutube]

Tim have you thought about using tire plugs for punctures? I know you wouldn't want to go silly speeds with one in a tire, but much better than all the hassle and could get you out of a tight spot.

[@albinoewok]

I don't believe you can use repair plugs on the shoulder area of the tyre.

[@alanzyoutube]

@@albinoewok I am not sure you can either, but the miles Tim drives he's been pretty lucky, surely having these plugs is a must?

You know what? I appreciate the honesty of this episode. I can't say I've ever seen you this upset in all the years I've been watching. But it's good to see the good and the bad sides of these things. I've grown very tired of the "good enough for the paycheck" attitude so many now possess. I am sorry you had to deal with that, but at very least, you did get the key back. And then I was glad to see the Ferrari dealer in Germany treated you so well. Makes up for the bad day. Glad to see after all is said and done that you made it on time to the airport. Safe, smooth travels from here on!

Definately not one of Tim's smoothest adventures but at the end of the day you will have lots of entertaining stories to share because of it. Life would be boring if everything went perfect 😀 I would be curious if that shipping company has reached out to you after having such terrible customer service. I would not like to be any company associated with such service .

[@GeneralKato]

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Just know refilling stations that big usually have some kind of tire repair kits available. Either those plug types of gel types. Perhaps even, if your car doesn’t come with a spare, in it’s place there’s usually such a kit where the spare tire would be. Including an inflator for after the repair. Ferris even have their own branded air compressors. Best of luck for the rest of your trip mate.

[@nicolasb6706]

Hey Tim, those days it is becoming more and more difficult to find people who do their job properly, it is all across the board unfortunately... I am french and working for a British company with many people from various countries and it is no difference anywhere... On the positive side, you got the key back which I am sure saved you a few hundreds of GBP. Ho and by the way, about this whole trip, in french we say: "les emmerdes volent toujours en escadrille". So after all this mess you should be good for a while 🤞

[@JohnBasara]

Rarely do I comment on vids, but good on you for naming names.

[@essexhertsmtb]

Knowing how to use a tyre plug is probably a good skill to have. That and an inflator can get you out of most situations with nails and tyres and allow you to keep running for good amount of time.

[@ia3423]

i mean most of the time it's not reachable to fit a tyre plug without taking the wheel off the car. Still good to know though.

[@ReLCorsa]

The problem is with a puncture that close to the sidewall, it's not recommended to plug it. In order to plug it you have to ream it which makes the hole larger and with it being where it is that is more than likely going to damage the sidewall which makes it more of an issue than it was at the time.

[@betaich]

Tyre plugs also can and regularly do go horible wrong delemnating or exploding the whole tyre, I wouldn't risk it on a car like the Puro
