Tim leaves Puppi on the side of the road, freezing, just so he can get cool action shots for us. So the hero of this channel isn't Tim, it's Puppi doing the camera work. I mean it's a team effort and they do it well. True effort that works extremely well. But Puppi kills it with her camera work, always getting the shot Tim is talking about inside the car. Well done.
I was thinking this, then perhaps she was driving over the bridge while Tim makes the video ? I like to think my bf would not let me stand in the rain taking photo, but who takes photos of a 4yr old Opel Insignia anyway ??🥱
Nice to meet you Tim and glad we could help you. And for the guys wondering he is even more of a nice and down to earth guy in person than on videos. - The Dekkteam Tiller guys. :)
Covering your personal largest distance of any cars in a car such as the AMG GT is crazy enough, but doing it with an AMG GT Black Series? You deserve a damn salute, Tim. You are the exact opposite of what most people hate about owners of cars like these. Thank you for bringing us along for the journey with the AMG GT Black Series and I hope you keep enjoying this beast of a car.
This Video and All the hype surrounding LT McLarens and RS Porsches is another reminder for me about how INSANELY underrated this car is. Cause of its practicality as a cruiser and its performance as a black series. Id argue it’s objectively the best supercar we’ve seen in awhile.
As a Norwegian, i loved this and that you like my country. But, if you really want to drive somewhere what we Norwegians think as spectacular, you have to drive "Trollstigen" with many 90 degrees bends and can be a fun part to drive. And also to drive in the beautiful scenery of Northern Norway places like "Lofoten", and maybe all the way up to the top of Norway to "Nordkapp". Hopefully you will consider it some day, your mind will be blown away of the scenery!
The giggling over a parking space, the drama of a car being used actually getting dirty, then the rain man mileage facts. Christ. I’m sure he would explode if he actually did something nuts..😂
it sounds maybe strange, but weather like you experienced on the atlantic ocean road. Is more scenic then sunny and clear skies. It's more raw, unfiltered and alive. Suits the car your driving. It's great that found your way to norway:) Hope you do it again.
I drive hotshot in the U.S. mostly the Midwest. I drive between 8 to 10k miles a month. I’ve had 1 flat tire in the past year and when I’m on the road on rolling 14 tires! If I had your luck I’d be out of business. Best of luck going forward Shmee!
That Atlantic road was a beautiful drive to do and the winter weather makes it even more special. I picked up my first screw in my winter tyre last month and now I can feel with you. Save onwards trip😊
Oooh, a crack in the windshield is quite common in Norway winterthime. If you bring it in to "Hurtigruten carglass" or "Riis bilglass", then they are experts in fixing such damage against further development. sorry you did`nt know that passing trew Norway. But guess there are same experyice in Sweden
The way Tim has used this car and enjoyed it makes you only want to get a gt black series. I bet this should be one of the most active gt Black series on the road. I love it
For someone who does everything by the book it's staggeringly incomprehensible you would even consider that fuel consumption challenge since draining the fuel tank too low can damage the fuel pump.
Huge situation Tim. Monster limited edition custom car, weather in which most people wont drive let alone take such an automobile and miles away from home. Props to you. It takes a lot to do what you do. Well done mate.
I love how you visit Norway, and is so energetic even tho its not the best weather. And that you are not complaining. Just enjoying the moments. Its quite spectaqular and especially sceenick weather. But allso dangerous. Many complain about weather, prises on gas and food, (i aggre). But you did not. Just a really god advert for us and beeing kind. You should defenatly visit Norway again in summer time, mabye go on a drive with Ferarri owners club Norway. Many people who would love to see you and go on trips with you im shure. Thanks for visisting us! Hope you have a blast!
I know you wuestioned how we choose between ferry, bridges and tunnels. Id say its mostly due to cost, what fits best for the locals, types of traffic, seasonal traffic, and what has a bigger impack. The E39 has long been planned ferry free. But not mutch has happened. Many large and exiting plans have been tought of. If you want to see for yourself try search " Statens Vegvesen ferjefritt e39 English "
Ah the good old days, when all my cars had a spare tire, first they went to skinny space savers than sweet f/all but for a bottle of glue and a doggy air compressor. In the last 15 years or so getting a puncture always proved to be more of a pain than it used to be.
Tim I did the Atlantic road in 2014 with 5 other cars one McLaren and five Porsches. We were a bit disappointed with it to be honest as in summer there is no drama from crashing waves etc. From above it’s spectacular a remarkable piece of engineering.
I love the fact that TimShmee uses that car as it's intended and the whole team at the Shmee150 taking the exquisite shots and also taking care of the rest of the fleet! All these issues are just proof that the cars are being driven especially this AMG Black Series ❤
Love these Nordic vids. I visit Norway every year to hike and see different roads so these are so familiar. Incredible stuff, the ferries bring many fond memories too!
I think Tim needs to do more of behind the scene episodes on his second channel especially when he does these road trips. There is a lot we are not seeing
I wish all of your countrymen could do as you; drive with winter tires during the winter season in continental Europe. It's ridiculous how many Britts roam around in their 4x4's on wrong tires in skiing destinations...And btw, you forgot to change the headlight setting to right hand drive (menu on the steering wheel).
Your videos are soo excellent, you as a person are always positive and funny! What I would find even better is if you had a PiP picture where a camera is pointed at the surroundings - that way you have the feeling of "traveling with you" and see the area where you are! And the other one in a small section of the picture shows your face where you are commenting. Thank you for your work!
what astonishes me the most is the fact it was even done and the human cost,engineering needed to overcome the difficulties in building the bridges and other infrastructure cuz you know it had to be a nightmare and 3/4
Shmee150 Great Video I'm sorry to hear that another tire on your AMG GT Black Series got punctured and that another Windshield got chipped and I'm glad you another set of Pirreli Sotto Zeros and Congratulations on having driven most miles of any Shmeemobile in your Absolutely Incredible AMG GT Black Series and I can't wait to see more of your Winter Tour
What an awesome road trip. All that furious wind & the ocean smashing on the rocky shoreline. Don’t forget to hold on to your door with both hands or your going to have a major setback.
The Atlantic Road is one of the spots in the world I want to drive at. Black Rock Sands in Wales is another one. As well as Chirihama Nagisa Driveway in Japan. And as for the saltwater, there is always the option to wash it off. It won't rust your car immediately from driving once. Near the entrance of Chirihama, there are special underbody washing stations, where you can wash the sand and saltwater off your car right after exiting. I believe it's free even.
Tim…I did the same sort of journey to the Artic Circle in my (then) new 1986 BMW 325i Sport but I went via the east coast of Sweden and up to Lappland then back down through Finland…as you have discovered, that is a LOONNNNNNGGGG way at 40/50mph with overhead Police helicopters watching you so that you rarely ever see them! You also get to see many trees….many..MANY trees…can there ever be a wood shortage?? I did make a film but on VHS format and I have not seen it for decades! Re the roads…I went in May and that is not a good plan as there were long sections where they remove the entire road surface to allow the Permafrost to melt before replacing the complete road from the base upwards. That means…long sections of loose rubble that terrifies paintwork and tyres. I did escape but the car was a picture when I got back home! I think we need to go again…those roads are my sort of place..Not the rubble..but the huge landscapes, sea, bridges and remote tiny villages. As for eating…it was lucky dip and I could not read Swedish so bought myself a nice packet of dog biscuits for lunch…hmm..only once though. Next day a box of “ Nora’s Knackers” which were a shade better but I doubt Bonzo would have spotted the difference! Keep going Tim…build ever more memories.😃😃😃😃😃
Have always loved the AMG GT so no surprise he reaches for this car time and time again. Very practical car for the performance with the new one expected this summer with the rear seats will make it even more attractive as a daily driver and even for those with a young family. Mercedes should hire Shmee great ambassador for their cars.
I use specially made adhesive dots that you can place over such a chip/crack to mitigate the risk of the chip/crack propagating. I’ve never had an issue with wipers or my heated windscreen (in Canadian winters). Gives me more than enough time for a professional chip repair that makes it disappear.
UK: Drive 8 hours, see 4 different countries and all manner of sights. US: Drive 8 hours starting in Texas, end your trip still in Texas and the most exciting thing you see is road construction.
Norway is beautiful ❤❤❤ I took my old Mondeo up to Tromso via Lofoten and Vesteralen islands. Bought at 19k, sold at 178k miles. Near Bodo is the most amazing reflective lake I've ever seen ❤❤
I live in Alberta where they use grit on the roads in the winter as it can be at times too cold for salt to be effective at melting ice. My record for shortest life of a new windshield is 8 hours.
What does false fuel mean: After the ignition spark jumps, combustion of the compressed fuel-air mixture is initiated. The flame front spreads evenly at a speed of around 20 m/s. This can result in temperatures of up to 2,500°C and pressures of up to 60 bar. At the end of the work cycle, the pressure has relaxed to 3 bar to 5 bar at around 900°C. In a hot combustion chamber, the air-fuel mixture can spontaneously ignite explosively. The gases then burn uncontrollably at high speed. One reason for this may be low octane fuel. When temperature and pressure suddenly increase, the pressure waves spread through the combustion chamber at the speed of sound and hammer on the cylinder walls. Such “knocking” combustion places a very high mechanical and thermal load on the engine. The pressure peaks that occur can damage the pistons, bearings, cylinder head, valves and spark plugs. The octane number says something about the ability of gasoline fuels to prevent uncontrolled combustion in the unburned residual gas before the controlled flame front arrives.
Shmee's fuel consumption numbers prove that I could afford to drive a supercar. The 800 hp AMG GT gets better fuel milage (10.0 L/100 km) then my GMC Sierra (13.5 L/100 km)
I am on windscreen #5 in my current car. Have driven it ±65k km since November 2020 and it has a crack in it AGAIN... In my previous 4 cars, in which I drove a combined ~300k km over nearly 15 years, I have cracked 1 windscreen.
With all the punctures, we have to ask ourselves the question if they are more recurring because tires are getting wider and wider. Since the surface area of tires increases, so does the probability of picking up nails and such.
High performance car or not if im replacing one tyre i do both, just dosent make sense to me to have a tyre on 50% and a brand new one nevermind on cars such as yours
Tim that car is the best in my opinion I love that car. Also thank you for the picture when you advertise petrolheadonism me and my brother was talking to you. I have just started watching the video please tell you have not got a puncture
Fuel in Norway does not hold that high quality (lived there for 8 years). Just when you pass the border to Sweden, find a Shell station with 98+ octan.. that's what we drive with the Lambos and so forth. A lot better and even the quality on 95 is better.
That AMG black series is my favorite car in the Schmee fleet, by a mile. Got as close as I can in Forza with recreating it. Don't have the skill to drive it well haha.
Loving this video Tim! I plan to do that exact trip although probably not in Winter. Loved the economy mission 👍 As for the tyres… Get a mushroom plug kit and a jack & tools and mend your own! Especially somewhere like rural Sweden. Obviously you’d limp to a tyre shop if you could….But it could save you being stranded somewhere…. I carry the gear in my Cayman… Space saver OEM Jack Tools Plug kit Compressor Monkey bars. (Just in case) and ratchet straps 😏
Challenge - Shmee, I'd like to see you do everything you can to pop a tire, that has been repaired with a plug - would make a cool video, but I understand you are careful, it's an expensive toy. Nice video 😍
Congrats on making it but you aren't supposed to run your cars down to the bottom of the tank. There is always some sediment at the bottom that can get into the system and clog your filters and fuel injectors. Keep it full as much as possible!
Thanks for the share of your wondeful journey Tim, you rock man!!! I will definitely do the same soon, you made me want to make the same road trip. Especially with one of my favorite car 💪💪💪💪

In the states we have octane booster, might help when 98 is unavailable.
20:07 dont u have ppf on undercar-aero parts? to protect scraping
saw on gtr meisters story that you were over at motikon in sweden. is there any videos comming out from that ?
I think i saw you in Sweden last week in your yellow Amg gt!
Tim leaves Puppi on the side of the road, freezing, just so he can get cool action shots for us. So the hero of this channel isn't Tim, it's Puppi doing the camera work.

I’d say there both the hero of the channel both great cemestey both of them
Spot on @clifbradley I totally agree. She continues to do an impressive and fantastic videographer job too for Tim.
Yeah I agree, Puppi doesn't get enough credit and recognition.
I was thinking this, then perhaps she was driving over the bridge while Tim makes the video ? I like to think my bf would not let me stand in the rain taking photo, but who takes photos of a 4yr old Opel Insignia anyway ??🥱
@@saraprva4172I know what you're saying, but I think she's doing okay out of the deal😂 teamwork is dreamwork (sorry I had to say it)
AMG needs to give Smee a special award for his good representation of the black series..
They could give him a maybach or s680 for the gumball in Asia
ICE range anxiety.
Nice to meet you Tim and glad we could help you. And for the guys wondering he is even more of a nice and down to earth guy in person than on videos. - The Dekkteam Tiller guys. :)

you need to install a huge magnet under your front splitter 🤣
Haha what a solution
Ferrari already tested this on their F1 cars, we know what happend there

It's great that found your way to norway:) Hope you do it again.
Black series looks good when it’s dirty!
All supercars look good when they are used properly!
Some how, you are the only UA-camr that can make an advertisement interesting to watch! 👍😎👍
Dirty super cars look epic ! Say no to garage queens ! Keep up the amazing work Tim! You are living the dream

For someone who does everything by the book it's staggeringly incomprehensible you would even consider that fuel consumption challenge since draining the fuel tank too low can damage the fuel pump.
He doesn't do it alot and will service the car when he's finished or even before. He takes great care of his car.

Norway is a beautiful country. Insane sceneries with such a nice people. And with a true Viking heritage
Love seeing you in my country Shmee with that monster of a car
Ah the good old days, when all my cars had a spare tire, first they went to skinny space savers than sweet f/all but for a bottle of glue and a doggy air compressor.

The AMG Black Series in this Yellow is so beautiful and perfect the perfect color to have!!! Can't stop looking at this beautiful beast!!!
Nothing beats a good old road trip!
It’s also bad for the differential to change 1 Tire if you have to much profile difrence
Your videos are calming and therapeutic somehow,is it only me or anyone else also feels the same
You need to get back to Norway late spring/ early summer time! As a native Norwegian, the scenery just look miserable in that weather 🥲
Yes! And driving some of the more scenic mountain roads - with the views down towards the fjords!
what astonishes me the most is the fact it was even done and the human cost,engineering needed to overcome the difficulties in building the bridges and other infrastructure cuz you know it had to be a nightmare and 3/4
That car looks amazing all dirty! Tells a story just looking at it
@Schmee150 looks like this Solarbeam Black Series will be a very permanent part of the collection due to all the memories you have with it 😊
Most classic norwegian car shot was Clarkson in the Merc while that m83 song was playing. For more details, that’s all I remember 😄
Tim, I appluad you for taking a road trip for all of us in this gloomy time of the year. Sorry for the wind screen.
Shmee150 Great Video I'm sorry to hear that another tire on your AMG GT Black Series got punctured and that another Windshield got chipped and I'm glad you another set of Pirreli Sotto Zeros and Congratulations on having driven most miles of any Shmeemobile in your Absolutely Incredible AMG GT Black Series and I can't wait to see more of your Winter Tour
I and I’m thought I had, I think the GT BS would look really cool with aerodisks upfront
What an awesome road trip. All that furious wind & the ocean smashing on the rocky shoreline. Don’t forget to hold on to your door with both hands or your going to have a major setback.
Pirelli in Norway was able to source Pirelli winter tires during winter. Amazing.
The Atlantic Road is one of the spots in the world I want to drive at.

i think the amg looks beautiful with all that salt and dirt. your using it and enjoying the car❤
Did that trip in June with blue sky's, still special .
Tim…I did the same sort of journey to the Artic Circle in my (then) new 1986 BMW 325i Sport but I went via the east coast of Sweden and up to Lappland then back down through Finland…as you have discovered, that is a LOONNNNNNGGGG way at 40/50mph with overhead Police helicopters watching you so that you rarely ever see them!

Why I getting a deja fu moment again😂. That road on mine bucketlist to drive there. Just like 007 and Shmee150
Great video with AMG GT Black series!
I use specially made adhesive dots that you can place over such a chip/crack to mitigate the risk of the chip/crack propagating. I’ve never had an issue with wipers or my heated windscreen (in Canadian winters). Gives me more than enough time for a professional chip repair that makes it disappear.
I would give you both the recommendations to test the cabintrack in Åre. Its fantastic with Swedens most highly based restaurant. Magic.
It’s Shmee video time, get ready for some good vibes. 😁
UK: Drive 8 hours, see 4 different countries and all manner of sights.
US: Drive 8 hours starting in Texas, end your trip still in Texas and the most exciting thing you see is road construction.
Norway is beautiful ❤❤❤
I took my old Mondeo up to Tromso via Lofoten and Vesteralen islands. Bought at 19k, sold at 178k miles.
Near Bodo is the most amazing reflective lake I've ever seen ❤❤
Your cars are truly world travelers
what a dream Tim is living in man. we appreciate you a lot for everything, thank you!!
I live in Alberta where they use grit on the roads in the winter as it can be at times too cold for salt to be effective at melting ice. My record for shortest life of a new windshield is 8 hours.
Nice trip...ending with factory visits of Koenigsegg and at the end Zenvo 😎
Norway for you . dirt and salt. cars dont last long here.
Impressive fuel run, Tim!
what a jouney, Tim! Congratulations for the fuel average! What a car! Thank you for the epic review.
What does false fuel mean:
After the ignition spark jumps, combustion of the compressed fuel-air mixture is initiated. The flame front spreads evenly at a speed of around 20 m/s. This can result in temperatures of up to 2,500°C and pressures of up to 60 bar. At the end of the work cycle, the pressure has relaxed to 3 bar to 5 bar at around 900°C.
In a hot combustion chamber, the air-fuel mixture can spontaneously ignite explosively. The gases then burn uncontrollably at high speed. One reason for this may be low octane fuel.
When temperature and pressure suddenly increase, the pressure waves spread through the combustion chamber at the speed of sound and hammer on the cylinder walls.

The octane number says something about the ability of gasoline fuels to prevent uncontrolled combustion in the unburned residual gas before the controlled flame front arrives.
Shmee's fuel consumption numbers prove that I could afford to drive a supercar. The 800 hp AMG GT gets better fuel milage (10.0 L/100 km) then my GMC Sierra (13.5 L/100 km)
I am on windscreen #5 in my current car. Have driven it ±65k km since November 2020 and it has a crack in it AGAIN... In my previous 4 cars, in which I drove a combined ~300k km over nearly 15 years, I have cracked 1 windscreen.
I love seeing beautiful works of art/exotics dirty. Good on you Tim.
With all the punctures, we have to ask ourselves the question if they are more recurring because tires are getting wider and wider. Since the surface area of tires increases, so does the probability of picking up nails and such.
Wow, it seems a beautiful road between the fjords
Love hearing your pronunciations of norwegian citys/towns!
High performance car or not if im replacing one tyre i do both, just dosent make sense to me to have a tyre on 50% and a brand new one nevermind on cars such as yours
One of your best videos ever... love it.
Congrats with 2.6mil subs!
Tim that car is the best in my opinion I love that car. Also thank you for the picture when you advertise petrolheadonism me and my brother was talking to you. I have just started watching the video please tell you have not got a puncture
Magnificent scenery driving over the bridge and ´through´ the sea!
I love this kind of videos, especially with this brilliant car!
Fuel in Norway does not hold that high quality (lived there for 8 years). Just when you pass the border to Sweden, find a Shell station with 98+ octan.. that's what we drive with the Lambos and so forth. A lot better and even the quality on 95 is better.
Dombås is more than a couple of hours from Oslo.
Anyway you passed through where I live. And drove right past my mother in laws house.
These car manufacturers/tire manufactures LOVE making bespoke tires that cost a limb to replace every time you get a nail in one.
That AMG black series is my favorite car in the Schmee fleet, by a mile. Got as close as I can in Forza with recreating it. Don't have the skill to drive it well haha.
Same here I’m cursed too. Got the same tire flat 4 times by having a nail in it
Loving this video Tim!
I plan to do that exact trip although probably not in Winter.
Loved the economy mission 👍
As for the tyres…
Get a mushroom plug kit and a jack & tools and mend your own!
Especially somewhere like rural Sweden.
Obviously you’d limp to a tyre shop if you could….But it could save you being stranded somewhere….
I carry the gear in my Cayman…
Space saver
OEM Jack
Tools
Plug kit
Compressor
Monkey bars. (Just in case)
and ratchet straps 😏
Shmee is just a vibe !
Challenge - Shmee, I'd like to see you do everything you can to pop a tire, that has been repaired with a plug - would make a cool video, but I understand you are careful, it's an expensive toy. Nice video 😍
Cool, maybe you pass through my hometown in Sweden, Umeå on your way through 😎
I was there today! Driving over the bridge with everything frozen around was stunning
My favorite parts of these videos are Tim trying to pronounce Norwegian words haha
Congrats on making it but you aren't supposed to run your cars down to the bottom of the tank. There is always some sediment at the bottom that can get into the system and clog your filters and fuel injectors. Keep it full as much as possible!
"This is fascinating"! Great to see these kind of road trips!
this is the kind of adventure i freakin love to see, it felt surreal Tim to watch from home hahhaha, my favorite shmeemobile too
There is no traffic and it's amazing
Shmee might need a permanent tyre deal with pirelli :)
Respect to shmee for driving his cars👍👍
Great story Tim. Good video. You do need a 4 door type M5, like I have. Road trips are more fun in that.
Thanks for the share of your wondeful journey Tim, you rock man!!! I will definitely do the same soon, you made me want to make the same road trip. Especially with one of my favorite car 💪💪💪💪
11:40 min - what a segue into a sponsorship!! 😊😄
I won't take my lowly 2016 Jaguar 3.0 S F-Type out on salted roads. Props to Shmee.
Love the roads you are on, summer might be better though, still it’s mega. Scandinavia is stunning, tolls are a bummer though
You can start the journey from Kristiansund and travel down the E39 coastal road. From there you can see some amazing scenery.
