Shmee why do you have 3 cars when most of your trips you go on, you always arrange a press car? Why not just have 1 car then for when you're just in london? Perhaps you could sell all 3 and the 675 spyder and buy a P1?
+TheAventadorSV You know those various tours I've done in each of my cars; LT around Italy, GT4 through France and to the Isle of Man, FF through France and Monaco; that couldn't happen without owning them. Likewise the various tours planned for this year and I obviously couldn't do 20k+ miles a year in something like a P1, let alone even afford to run it for a start!
This vid changed my mind on the looks of the California. Never really found it that appealing until now. Not sure why. Maybe it's the angles and color that did it for me, here.
The old California was bought mainly for the badge and the performance wasn't worthy of the Ferrari badge in my opinion. It would get schooled by M3's and C63's. This new one, with an unholy amount of torque and a lot of power, makes a lot more sense as it's a great GT car that lets you drop the top as well. I like it.
The fact that he said the transmission is super smooth indicates that he hasn't taken the car up to the higher RPM under WOT. When you do that, the gearbox kicks you in the back really hard almost like an Aventador.
Good in depth view there. The camera angle on the side window wasn't great as the A pillar looks massive and blocks the view ahead a lot. If your mount has the option of coming closer to your head that'd be good. But then again that might make it uncomfortable as you might keep hitting your head on your camera.
I actually would like to see a video where you review apple car play in this Ferrari. Basic how it works, what it does, how navi works with it, messaging, email, etc. Would be an interesting video and you would be the firs to review Apple CarPlay in a Ferrari for sureeeee!!!! Like this comment if you agree we need a short follow-up video for an Apple CarPlay review and features video. Even if its not in this car, I'm sure A LOT of people would be interested to see it because it is such a new thing and is becoming standard now in ALOT of car including Honda, BMW, Ford, MB, apparently Ferrari, and ALOT more that I'm forgetting and more will follow to compete!!
+Anthony G, he'll wont be going with apple as he is currently infatuated with Sony. cameras, entertainment/DVD systems and their T.Vs are the best within the range. Their phones on the other hand is left to be complained about for another day.
Where's kyle? You should bring kyle.... I like how kyle explains things... It's like he explains stuff better but you have more access to better cars.... I wish you'd let him review some of the cars you've driven like the Aston Martin one, the vantage gt, the p1, F12 TDF ( I liked that video of you and Josh) the F40 and the mclaren 570s... Oh and also when you get to the show please record the db 11... And if you happen to meet the CEO tell him how we all feel about the horrid infotainment system that seriously needs an upgrade... For a spy car it's very low Tec... Tell em to put a Big Ol' touchscreen with Android auto :) I'm also eager to see the lusso.. And the bentley exp 10... :D
Why is this comment section being comprised of annoying immature shit like "If this comment gets _______ likes then Shmee will buy a ______" ? What happened...
TheKontraRecords yea all except for the F1 and the only hybrid is the P1 but hey no one's perfect. Hell yesterday i thought the 991 GT3RS was all wheel drive like the Turbo S but it is actually rear wheel drive
andrew hardman it would be sick but if youve ever seen the episode that Top Gear UK specifically James May when he went to what's his face's house (the guy replacing him) they drove it. Well that was probably an expensive insurance cover in case something happened. Sure an owner might just say hey come try it out but other than that i dont think it is possible. Id like to see that though
Shmee, I like your videos, the cars, the shots.... But please can you use a shirt mic or other external mic because when you turn the camera away from yourself your voice goes from one speaker to the other and often ends up all over the place. Other than that - keep up the good work!
+Imagine lt okay thats weird, the first time i watched it, the colour clearly switched from red to pink, i replayed that at least 5 times to get whats going on. Must have been a quality switch or something. Now it doesnt change at all xD
OK very good Tim but how about some real world info for the peasants who watch this video, like me? How does this compare with your FF in terms of spec, build quality, performance and what are the fuel consumption figures?? Would you swap this for your FF?
the little piece of glass sticking out on the rear windows when you have them down really annoys me lol. Seems like an over-sight in design. Kinda surprised considering the price tag of the car and all the other great craftsmanship in the vehicle.
Who are the nimrods disliking these videos. Shmee150 has about the most informative videos on super cars.
How easy is it to get from one country to another that fast in Europe! Damn!
+UA7A Well it is a Ferrari! ;)
Damn Daniel
+stillwaiting4Wonder no.
If it's in EU, it's like crossing between different states in the us
Anal Nice name...
Tim is heading to Geneva, Sam and Paul are heading to Geneva in the Ford Ranger, Seb is heading/already in Geneva... I like where this is going!
Nice stuff as always thank you shmee for sharing this with us ^^
+João Vitor Ramos tell me
SenszR Its sex in a right place of the body ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
João Vitor Ramos the ass?
SenszR Yeah jajajaja
João Vitor Ramos Lol it's the same in English.
A nice looking car. Last California was hideous, this is great.
+MultiSaffran The wheels are ugly though
Thanks for the video, Tim! I love the fact that you do car reviews in so much detail though you generally don't seem to point out many negatives :)
Sounds really good imo.
Amazing roads in an amazing car. Well done!!
Shmee, I know they're very different, but with the top up it looks a little like a flatter F12 Berlinetta.
Filling my march break with shmee's videos. Nothing better :)
Im really enjoying the content you have put out these last weeks ! Normally I also enjoy it but this period especially. Keep at it ! :)
I'm really liking this California T, looks very useable, just needs the cream interior for me!
Looks awesome with the top down!
Welcome to La Clusaz Tim !!!
This car is stunning!
I really like the California T, Ferrari are impressing me a lot at the moment.
Best spec Cali I've seen 😍
The old california was for me.. Was just ok for been a Ferrari. But this one, i have to say that is absolutely beautiful!!!
I am usually not a huge fan of the California but this one looks surprisingly good.
I'm looking forward to see your review on the new GTC4Lusso! As an FF owner, it should give an interesting point of view. Keep up the good work, Tim!
Shmee why do you have 3 cars when most of your trips you go on, you always arrange a press car? Why not just have 1 car then for when you're just in london? Perhaps you could sell all 3 and the 675 spyder and buy a P1?

Shmee150 Oh ok That makes sense, thanks for the reply!
a P1 costs a lot more then his 3 cars combined.
+Shmee150 How tired are you of that : Why don't you get a P1" question? lol
No Way More then the 4? 675 and 675 Spyder have some hefty premiums on them now and the GT4 too. The FF is the only one not appreciating in value
the cali t is such a stunning car!
This vid changed my mind on the looks of the California. Never really found it that appealing until now. Not sure why. Maybe it's the angles and color that did it for me, here.

very true, I'd take this over the base standard California anyday
So the titanium wheel bolts are almost £2000? Holy shit... How do you make sure they don't get stolen?
The fact that he said the transmission is super smooth indicates that he hasn't taken the car up to the higher RPM under WOT. When you do that, the gearbox kicks you in the back really hard almost like an Aventador.
Nice Cali T Tim!!
This car is beautiful
Your reviews are awesome @Shmee150
Very good video, very informative.
Still sounds amazing, just wait till novatec get their hands on it. It will make it a Ferrari worth having.👌👍🏁
Great Video Tim
This option list is madness
Perfect fit for winter conditions. I guess
awesome sound...
beautiful car
Have you considered of making your own comp in the future
Have you bought a new camera set lately? Nice video quality.
And yea I think if you and Kyle teamed up for reviews that would be awesome
10:25 .. OMG That beetle! :O
That options list is through the roof..
car sounds great on startup
hey shmee any thoughts on the bugatti chiron? Will there be some content regarding the bugatti, as soon as it premiers in geneva? ...
Good in depth view there. The camera angle on the side window wasn't great as the A pillar looks massive and blocks the view ahead a lot. If your mount has the option of coming closer to your head that'd be good. But then again that might make it uncomfortable as you might keep hitting your head on your camera.

It sounds good actually: like the 2016 F1 cars!
Realy nice car, just dislike the headlights and the black parts...thanks for the video!
Has the front bumper been resprayed? It looks darker than the bonnet and front wings of the car
Where's kyle? You should bring kyle.... I like how kyle explains things... It's like he explains stuff better but you have more access to better cars.... I wish you'd let him review some of the cars you've driven like the Aston Martin one, the vantage gt, the p1, F12 TDF ( I liked that video of you and Josh) the F40 and the mclaren 570s...

looks way better than the old california
shmee can you show us the boost gauge im curious as to how much psi this car makes
if this comment gets no likes shmee will buy white vans
+Aamir Ghare Well that one failed already...
+Shmee150 fuck
Blue vans*
+Shmee150 haha it did didn't it!
+Shmee150 Back at it again with the blue cars.
Titanium wheel bolts: 1,919.00
You'll need titanium bolts through your head to spend that much on a couple of bolts! ;)
I need roads like this for my car
Why is this comment section being comprised of annoying immature shit like "If this comment gets _______ likes then Shmee will buy a ______" ? What happened...
Idk man. It's like the attention seeking 11 year-olds started flooding in from those gaming channels :/
I love Ferrari love love love
you are just near Megève ahah. You were driving on the col des Aravis no ?
+alexandre B Correct, that road is the Col des Aravis
I had an advert for a full electric car? Sort it out smee!
Can it drive through potholes or speed bump? I'm afraid if the car is too low for that :/
It has a bumpy road setting
Get yourself a Land Rover 😊
Why do you prefer the Sony action cam's, whats stopping you from buying GoPros? No hate intended:)
+Rohin Bakrania Steadyshot and decent audio, two pretty important factors in this kind of video
Ahh I see
+Shmee150 shots fired!
We all know Alejandro(salomindrin) is stuffed in your boot. Lol
Are u gonna come to Frankfurt this year ? If you do !? When ? :D
As always: interesting video! Keep it up !
how easy is it for u to drive a right hand car on left hand countries?
Do I see a TAG Heuer Smart Watch? Nice!!
4:45 I thought the max speed said 190 MPH for a second then! :D
this or the GT3 RS you drove earlier?
Shmee what do you prefer most turbocharged, supercharged, or naturally aspirated?
+TheKontraRecords 675 is turbocharged
+TheKontraRecords actually twin turbocharged
+TheKontraRecords the McLaren is twin turbo.
TheKontraRecords yea all except for the F1 and the only hybrid is the P1 but hey no one's perfect. Hell yesterday i thought the 991 GT3RS was all wheel drive like the Turbo S but it is actually rear wheel drive
TheKontraRecords if you count the SLR they also have a supercharged car
what do u do for a living?
+Samson he sell al the drogs in th UK
I recognise these roads. I was there last summer...
and I broke down. Clutch issues.
Can you try to get your hands on the original 1950 Ferrari California for a comparison
lol yea im sure he'll be right on that
All he needs to do is find contacts but I don't mean to do it this year maybe next year
andrew hardman it would be sick but if youve ever seen the episode that Top Gear UK specifically James May when he went to what's his face's house (the guy replacing him) they drove it. Well that was probably an expensive insurance cover in case something happened. Sure an owner might just say hey come try it out but other than that i dont think it is possible. Id like to see that though
if this comment gets 2 likes Shmee will buy a California T and bring it to McLaren so they can paint it MSO Cerulean Blue
if this comment gets 10 or more likes, shmee gonna sell himself on the blackmarket
Shmee why aren't you a fan of Lamborghini's as your not in one at any of your video ?
they truly are not very impressive. just very quick show boat cars
I don't want to imagine what would do that camera to your head when somebody hit you from the side. :-/
I love you videos though :)
There is a blue f12 tdf for sale @ asp.nv maybe something for you?
04:41 Looks like you took it up to speed!
As a quick note: you reversed the torque figure; it's 557, not 755. Just in case anyone else made the "wut?" face during that part of the video.
+Godly Object Nm not lb-ft.
Shmee, I like your videos, the cars, the shots.... But please can you use a shirt mic or other external mic because when you turn the camera away from yourself your voice goes from one speaker to the other and often ends up all over the place. Other than that - keep up the good work!
Nice SmartWatch
Can you use the California T as a daily driver in a city like London?
+MegaGoddamit Wouldn't make sense to have a convertible in London, and parking would suck. Could you? Yes. Would you want to? No.
+MegaGoddamit yeah
nice car
shmee common please answer me i am your. biggest fan show you should it a p1 to buy the McLaren p1
Titanium bolt price is insane!
"I'll go over that in depth a bit later" and yet you never do..at least in the depth you would expect from that kind of a comment :D
This is a entry model in Ferrari range.
+Tiago André It's the entry model in price terms, but when driving it you really understand what it's about.
+Shmee150 Thanks for the comment, hope the see your review on the GTC4Lusso, seems awsome!
+Tiago André is it the cheapest one?
That's like owning the cheapest Picasso. Still costs!
"The car is the cheapest option" :D
How many cars do u own right now? :D
+privathospital Three; 675LT, FF and GT4
When you opened the boot at 2:06 it changed its colour, lol
+DasHnezz Edits. What the fuck are you on about?
Shmee has a part time job as a wizard didnt you know that?
+Imagine lt okay thats weird, the first time i watched it, the colour clearly switched from red to pink, i replayed that at least 5 times to get whats going on. Must have been a quality switch or something. Now it doesnt change at all xD
DasHnezz Edits. Was going to say man xD the car stayed red aha.
this have the same engine as the 488 right? But the 488 has more HP
OK very good Tim but how about some real world info for the peasants who watch this video, like me? How does this compare with your FF in terms of spec, build quality, performance and what are the fuel consumption figures?? Would you swap this for your FF?
He didn't reply :'D
Front mid engine?
I wish you could take a Lamborghini Aventador on a road trip, (if you get a chance).
If this comment gets 2 likes shmee is going to buy a prius
+Gownez 1 Nope, no Prius, never
+Shmee150 lololol
+Shmee150 what if they match your blue?
apple car play is a joke.
Black wheels don't work on this car, diamond cut would look a lot classier and overall better.
i wanna see you trying to fit someone in the backseat :D
+ICcreepers Seb Delanney might fit.
+ICcreepers There are not even headrests in the back seat
+Joani Mariano i know but it still is a 2+2 :D
+ICcreepers lol I've sat in the back of a Cali T... Not the most comfortable place 😂😂
+Camron Katz I can imagine :D
Is that Shmee's Ferrari? I haven't watched in a while.
No, however, he does have a Ferrari - a Ferrari FF. He will use this car for a couple of days tho.
I knew he had a Ferrari ff but I just wanted to know if this was his thanks for telling me.
+ObeyBryan 1 Obviously it's not his: it isn't blue.
I know I just thought he bought a new car
Do you ever miss your Aston or R8?
Anal Oh right. I didnt realise he had people speaking for him now.....
+Anal Yeah I know... and from someone so childish with a name like that.
+Anal Ooooooo very classy hahaha. I would like to say thank you for proving my point though.... childish.
+Anal Hahahaha how do you two know I am not pissing about too..... I ask a simple question and get hate for it, god help humanity!
Oh also if the mclaren people are there ask them why they made the p1 slower than the F1... Sounds like back tracking to me
the little piece of glass sticking out on the rear windows when you have them down really annoys me lol. Seems like an over-sight in design. Kinda surprised considering the price tag of the car and all the other great craftsmanship in the vehicle.
