Tim , my heart goes out to you dude. I am guessing the price of the two rear tyres for the FF and the front drivers side tyre, is going to be eye-watering to say the least. I hope you're able to get things all sorted out soon and you can all start enjoying the cars properly once more!
+Nicki Molleker Tim isn't absolutely loaded. Dropping thousands on tires might be nothing for those who spend pocket change on these supercars, but I'd guess that these three cars represent most of the value of Tim's assets. Being able to afford these tyres doesn't mean that it's cheap and doesn't sting. Even if you've got a couple million in the bank and/or assets, spending thousands on tyres in two days because of a couple punctures would still be annoying to say the least.
+Taylor Buckley I mentioned that the other day when his Ferrari got a flat tire. He's driven on harsher roads and never had problems until he arrived in Monaco.
Shmee I'd like to thank you for uploading videos every day. Sometimes if I have a bad day hopping on UA-cam and checking out car videos is the only way I stay sane. You deserve every view and subscriber you have and will get. Cheers
Tim, that was a great vlog, the little bit of driving looked class but you've always said this is living with super cars, so on that note it was excellent to watch
Tim I know you have a team supporting you and the guys from the other UA-cam channels with you but hope you guys are taking some offline time out and truly enjoying the cars :) I'm sure you are but just a reminder. It's awesome sharing these moments with everyone but don't forget about your own moments.
Shmee150, what an amazing video! May I suggest a couple of equipment changes? You could raise the production value of your videos a ton with some simple changes. I recommend that you switch your gear up a bit. For example, for you vlogging cam get something like a GH4 with a wide angle lens, it shoots beautiful 4k and put a Rodeo mic on that and you'd be good to go. For the inside the car shots grab the GoPro Hero 4, also shoots 4k so you can intercut the footage easily and not have detail loss in between the cams. And my last suggestion is to buy something like the Phantom 3 Professional, incredible 4k drone. While you drive around a friend could fly on top of you or even get the drone to follow you around. It would allow us to see more of the beautiful scenery as well as a totally different perspective of the cars. I own and have used all the equipment listed above for my production business, and I can't recommend them enough.
+Valentin Lazare (Lazare.) tires dont get tired how more you use the tires how better is is and a bad thing for your wallet but if you never drive of after a year or 5 year tires wil get tired
Hey Tim, In India they usually hang lemon and chili tied to a thread in front of the cars to keep away bad luck and negative energy brought on to the car through jealousy of others. I suggest you do that immediately, LOL.
keep your chin up bro! YOU'VE GOT A MACLAREN 675 LT! I UNDERSTAND that there's more people than there are seats but they'll live, lol! Keep an coming! I think that set of videos were just fine!
God, I could literally feel you crying inside your head in the second half! So disappointed and upset. I know the feeling. I hope both cars are up and running asap!
If your struggling to keep that tyre inflated then you could always contact Porsche assistance and I'm sure they will transport your car to the garage on a low loader? I'm surprised there are no mobile tyre fitters in Monaco. Good luck in getting it replaced.
Don't mind the small problems shmee........ This will make u remember the trip very well....... I like all your videos.... All the best..........I hope u get a hypercar soon.....
For all of you guys asking how Tim is financing all these cars, he is getting paid by manufacturers to feature their cars in his videos. This type of marketing is more effective than anything else. I hope this solves the mystery. Now everybody go home.
+scobla Why don't people just understand some people earn lots of money from working? The LT and GT4 are going to appreciate, making them effectively cost nothing.
+Bryan Kendall Depends on their usage. In theory yes, but with the extraordinarily high maintenance cost so far (tyres) that could quickly become nothing. Sure they are going up in value, but minus the cost of running and insuring them? And lets not forget that accidents happen, if one of these wrecks, the while equation goes down the drain.
Shmee - I could see how tedious to keep inflating air in those tires for your journey. Wider tire tend have more chances to pick up nail from the road. Bummer! But you must look at the good side. Better than engine failure problems. Have a wonderful journey! Best lucks.
Still Tim you haven't gone close to the red line with the 675LT. It's still in the running period but it's not gonna explode if you go to the red line. I want to hear that beast!
+Shmee150 i know that your favorite car is the 675LT, but your GT4 sounds amazing, i have never driven one but i think it might should feel like a kart. The manual gearbox with automatic downshifts revs is awesome! Probably is the cheaper, but i would go for it.
You're not having much luck with your tyres at the moment are you :( & i can't believe that a place like Monaco that has supercars everywhere, no where sell tyres for them. loving the videos from this trip though :)
+Shmee150 this may seem like a silly question but i saw in Seb's blog that the couple shops u went to only had Michellins and no Pirelli's for the FF. is there any reason you couldn't have used michellins(providing they had the right size)?
+Tatenda Jinya (EthosVeritas) You never want to mix brands of tires on the car, it will result in very unpredictable handling. The front tires are still Pirellis and he wasn't going to swap all 4 out unless the fronts were really worn as well.
I'm not sure whether you actually read the comments. but if you do. Then, I recommend you install Rhinoplex; which is some sort of material put inside the tire that won't ever cause you a flat tire ever again
Granted need clean it out/off rim when swap, but was going to ask if had some sort of spray can fix-a-flat in Europe. When on road trips, we have a plug kit and couple cans if fix-a-flat (or some variant) in the truck just in case. Though the space to work with is alot less on your super cars.
Even if you weren't planning to, I'd just like to get this off my chest. Please don't wrap any of your cars Tim, the different shades of blue are amazing to look at.
Just curious: did you get the whole Topaz protection job done for the GT4 as I don't recall seeing any mention of it in previous vids; and if not, why not? Shame about the tires....how expensive did that work out? Also, why only change 1x on the GT4 - I know you said about wear and tear in UK on Left side being more, but, being as you only did a relative short journey from collection point to channel tunnel train, would that not be irrelevant, as most of the mileage was done in France, thereby suggesting that both tires should have been changed, as on the FF?! How come Seb does not drive any of your cars? How about insurance costs for you ... and any other driver? Would be curious to know ballpark costs involved (which also might answer the above question!) Cheers!
Welcome to PACA region ! As you could see the road up to Valberg is an amazing "playground" for asphalt addicts ! This is where I ride my bike during the weekends ! ENJOY ;)
Oh that tire thing might be gods way to say you've been a little greedy recently :D Just kidding, hope it all turns out well for you. I love the cayman, hurts to see it that way!
+Ali Sher Hassan Punctures don't happen because it's old, they happen because you drive over a nail, or catch a sidewall badly; fortunately they are relatively easy to replace and deal with
Im liking the GT4 more and more, Great vid tim thanks, thank god its just rubber man, I would of been more worried about them goats horning the side of my cars or a rock slide, that looked sketchy...
Must be time for me to go to Monaco and start a decent tire business that caters to supercars and an on site service that comes to you to fit them, would make a killing lol!
Hi Shmee, was this the Col de Turini past Sospel? It's an epic drive that I did a few years ago but in a humble rental car. Still great fun and I'd recommend it.
I had the same blessing when I got my car. Day 2 of ownership and was already swapping out the fronts!
Found you! Wasn't looking specifically though...
That tractor must have an Armytrix exhaust.
Its a tele-handler but yeah its loud
Paul's gallardo probably has got that tractor's engine
What happens when daily is broken (GT4 and FF)? You use racecar (675LT). Tough life. I feel your pain Tim.
+MrSly870 I know right!
Tim , my heart goes out to you dude. I am guessing the price of the two rear tyres for the FF and the front drivers side tyre, is going to be eye-watering to say the least.
I hope you're able to get things all sorted out soon and you can all start enjoying the cars properly once more!
Dude, he collected a McLaren, Ferrari and a Porsche all in under a month. I'm sure he will be able to afford some tyres...
+Nicki Molleker Tim isn't absolutely loaded. Dropping thousands on tires might be nothing for those who spend pocket change on these supercars, but I'd guess that these three cars represent most of the value of Tim's assets. Being able to afford these tyres doesn't mean that it's cheap and doesn't sting. Even if you've got a couple million in the bank and/or assets, spending thousands on tyres in two days because of a couple punctures would still be annoying to say the least.
The rear tyres for the Ferrari are like £200 each I think shmee will manage 😂😂😂
+Cornwall1888 around 500€ for the porsche so he is under the 1000€ mark ;)
200 each for supper car it's quit cheap.my x5 cost 300 each for rear tyre.
Mhhm, maybe a sheep decided to taste the tire lol
Lol I'm starting to wonder if there isn't a hater in Monaco that is coming around and puncturing your tires.
+Taylor Buckley But then realised he likes the LT
+Taylor Buckley I mentioned that the other day when his Ferrari got a flat tire. He's driven on harsher roads and never had problems until he arrived in Monaco.
+michael wu Shmee should park it in Seb's garage. It might be next.
The s63 AMG sounds insane!!
+Saheel Nahaboo i love the sound of the biturbo
13:17 for anyone who doesn't want to wait
+Saheel Nahaboo
That's the car Tim should have got instead of the FF, he could even get a s65 amg for the same price as the FF!!!
+Adolf H Depreciation would be worse on the S65 because it's still very new. Tim has made very smart financial decisions with his recent purchases.
+Saheel Nahaboo The s63 sounds good indeed, I think brabus did something on it. Watch Seb's video, the front grill is brabus designed I think.
A real 2.7 rs ? Now that's pretty amazing
+vincent marical Yes, seriously special!
+vincent marical Even more special that it joins us on the drive!
Keep your chin up Shmee, so sorry about the punctures but I still enjoy all the videos, please keep posting them. THX
Shmee I'd like to thank you for uploading videos every day. Sometimes if I have a bad day hopping on UA-cam and checking out car videos is the only way I stay sane. You deserve every view and subscriber you have and will get. Cheers
Look forward to these videos every day.
Great videos. Feels like you are taking us along on your trip. Shame about your tyres, really bad luck. Hope the rest of the trip goes smoothly.
First world problem: "my only working car is the Mclaren" Hope you survive that terror Tim.
"My only working car is the Mclaren" - Shmee150, 2015
i would like to say that one day :)
Tim, that was a great vlog, the little bit of driving looked class but you've always said this is living with super cars, so on that note it was excellent to watch
Can i join the Blue Team??LOL!
Tim I know you have a team supporting you and the guys from the other UA-cam channels with you but hope you guys are taking some offline time out and truly enjoying the cars :) I'm sure you are but just a reminder. It's awesome sharing these moments with everyone but don't forget about your own moments.
that mercedes sounds like a boat on low rpm
+Imbra Šlauf That's a good sounding boat!
The tractor sounds better 😀
Tim, what specs are you getting on your 570s?
wut?
Why would he do that?
+Bolek989 it's obvious he's getting one, he's test driving one, going to press releases for this car. cmon
+Kevin Lepage I don't have a 570S on order
+Kevin Lepage If you buy a Porsche 918 you will probably also get invited to test the new 911. Every brand does that, to rise the demand for the cars.
The sound of the Lambo must have killed a couple of sheep.
How unlucky can one be? Two bloody punctures in less than two days!
I have a feeling some hater in Monaco is doing it to him! Lol
+Daniel San Someone who has no luck, but does have three new supercars. Even with four flat tires, I would be happy.
+Taylor Buckley yea me too. We never heard any report on car punctured in Monaco.
Your VLOGS ARE SO ADDICTING
I agree
+Cyrus Bonto Thanks, glad you enjoy them!
Shmee150, what an amazing video!

Man, tats difficult but u still keep a smiling face. Things wil b fine soon, Tim. Cheers!
This is just like top gear, I love it
Well, it seems that your tires are a bit tired from the roadtrips
+Valentin Lazare (Lazare.)
badum tss
+Valentin Lazare (Lazare.) tires dont get tired how more you use the tires how better is is and a bad thing for your wallet but if you never drive of after a year or 5 year tires wil get tired
+eurotruck funner he wasnt being serious dude....
From excitement to frustration, A trip to remember. Good luck with those tires.
";-)
Run flats! Yeah...right. lol
Hey Tim, In India they usually hang lemon and chili tied to a thread in front of the cars to keep away bad luck and negative energy brought on to the car through jealousy of others. I suggest you do that immediately, LOL.
keep your chin up bro! YOU'VE GOT A MACLAREN 675 LT! I UNDERSTAND that there's more people than there are seats but they'll live, lol! Keep an coming! I think that set of videos were just fine!
Your videos became more funny. When I see you so happy, it makes al lot of fun to see your videos! I like you so much.
great video tim : ) hope your tire problems get solved soon!
I love the LT, congrats shmee150 for that amazing supercar.
That Gallardo sounds amazing!
Gaawd that first road looks freaking unbelievable!!
God, I could literally feel you crying inside your head in the second half! So disappointed and upset. I know the feeling. I hope both cars are up and running asap!
*Another one* - "DJ Khaled Voice"
Why not Ludacris?
+BullrockMcHammergeil Damn right! GET BACK!
Oh man (drake)
carlos ortiz Not Again :D
+Tobias Henreich ovo xo
At 9:30 if Supercarsoflondon bought a tractor
Paul made Sam's car sound like a Prius
If your struggling to keep that tyre inflated then you could always contact Porsche assistance and I'm sure they will transport your car to the garage on a low loader? I'm surprised there are no mobile tyre fitters in Monaco. Good luck in getting it replaced.
The GT4 sounds amazing !
That RS is gorgeous!
That mclaren blue is just amazing
I wouldn´t bee too worried if i were in your sneakers shmee. Pretty much enjoy what you created and sheer as much as you can! Thumb up!
Don't mind the small problems shmee........ This will make u remember the trip very well....... I like all your videos.... All the best..........I hope u get a hypercar soon.....
Don't worry Tim, if I'm ever out your way I will drive your FF for you..
I don't know if there is something wrong with Frances roads because I was there a couple of days ago and we also got a slow puncture...
best Carspotter of the world :) please more 675lt sound videos
For all of you guys asking how Tim is financing all these cars, he is getting paid by manufacturers to feature their cars in his videos. This type of marketing is more effective than anything else. I hope this solves the mystery. Now everybody go home.
+scobla No, I am not paid by manufacturers to feature cars, that would be totally ridiculous.
scobla ha-ha thought you knew
+scobla This shit is still going on ... REALLY. dude work hard for yourself and you make money :)
+scobla Why don't people just understand some people earn lots of money from working? The LT and GT4 are going to appreciate, making them effectively cost nothing.

I love your McLaren. Such a nice color combination :)
Sorry this happened to you Tim. Hopefully the small fortune you must be spending on the tires doesn't put you off too badly. Good luck.
The Shmeepmobile👌
"my only working car, is the McLaren" followed up with a sad face. thats a thing i want to say someday ...
A double whammy of tyre problems.., with all the envy around here, id put it down to the evil eye Tim. Get them cars blessed buddy.
I can feel your *stress* Tim. What a way to start a *road* *trip* huh. *Hahaha*. Hope it goes well soon. (The cars I mean)
I've heard of sheep, but that was a FLOCK of sheep :)
I'm a French fan, near Lyon, I hope to see you! Good videos!
Still Tim you haven't gone close to the red line with the 675LT. It's still in the running period but it's not gonna explode if you go to the red line. I want to hear that beast!

PistolPete13 ah right cheers, i didnt even think about the different compounds on the front..
Wish I could have a bad day like yours where I have a puncture in my Porsche & FERRARI!!!
I'm not sure whether you actually read the comments. but if you do. Then, I recommend you install Rhinoplex; which is some sort of material put inside the tire that won't ever cause you a flat tire ever again

Paul has installed a armytrix on that tractor I see!
Congratulations for your videos, are very inspiring, a question: what age did you have when you bought your first car? saludos desde colombia.
Tim do you sell Shmee150 Jackets on your website just like the one you are wearing in this video at 10:40. Thanks :)
Even if you weren't planning to, I'd just like to get this off my chest.
Please don't wrap any of your cars Tim, the different shades of blue are amazing to look at.
+Mohammed Hussain He said in a comment on UA-cam or Instagram that he won't wrap any of them. He likes the different shades of blue.
Imagine doing this road trip in like a 918, P1 or Laferrari. That would be immense!
Great choice of cars.
Geeezus the Lambo is SO LOUD
I love it.
omg! keep that McLaren 675LT. it looks amazing. for me the front of 675LT looks more better and mean than a P1. 🙌
there you go, now your icon makes sense now
Think you should do more 675lt videos any way plus I really want to see some onboard footage of the 675lt and Cayman gt4
that f type sounds savage
Just curious: did you get the whole Topaz protection job done for the GT4 as I don't recall seeing any mention of it in previous vids; and if not, why not?
Shame about the tires....how expensive did that work out? Also, why only change 1x on the GT4 - I know you said about wear and tear in UK on Left side being more, but, being as you only did a relative short journey from collection point to channel tunnel train, would that not be irrelevant, as most of the mileage was done in France, thereby suggesting that both tires should have been changed, as on the FF?!
How come Seb does not drive any of your cars?
How about insurance costs for you ... and any other driver? Would be curious to know ballpark costs involved (which also might answer the above question!)
Cheers!
That's crazy. I can't even afford my insurance on a 1.6 Civic and you've got all those! Dread to see how much they are haha
Welcome to PACA region ! As you could see the road up to Valberg is an amazing "playground" for asphalt addicts ! This is where I ride my bike during the weekends ! ENJOY ;)
Tim you should get a Land Rover SUV for carrying extra tires around, it will fit all you stuff and gear just in case this happens again.
Oh that tire thing might be gods way to say you've been a little greedy recently :D Just kidding, hope it all turns out well for you. I love the cayman, hurts to see it that way!
Tim, i thought I was having a bad couple of days but damn... That's rough.
I kept hearing the Italian job music when they were going through the mountains xD
Suggestion for Tim's next car: a Mercedes G-Class or a Range Rover support car to carry spare tires.
+Shmee150 how come the tire of the gt4 got punctured, the car was brand new
+Ali Sher Hassan Do you understand the nature of how tyres get punctured?
+Ali Sher Hassan Punctures don't happen because it's old, they happen because you drive over a nail, or catch a sidewall badly; fortunately they are relatively easy to replace and deal with
oh ok sorry i don't really know about punctures thanks for telling me. 😊
Awesome!
Im liking the GT4 more and more, Great vid tim thanks, thank god its just rubber man, I would of been more worried about them goats horning the side of my cars or a rock slide, that looked sketchy...
sorry for that man. As you said very frustrating.
Tim, please do a rev battle between the porsche, Ferrari and mclaren !!
shmee, i am the same age as you, i think. even you work hard, i hope every day you realize how lucky you are and can enjoy it. i am very jelly
I'm over here clenching my teeth waiting for one of you guys to jump into the oncoming lane at the wrong time in one of those curves.....
You seem to love the GT4 more than the 675LT haha.
Having two tires blow really sucks, but at least you have another car.
Must be time for me to go to Monaco and start a decent tire business that caters to supercars and an on site service that comes to you to fit them, would make a killing lol!
Supercars of london update: paul buys a tractor because its loud
Hi Shmee, was this the Col de Turini past Sospel? It's an epic drive that I did a few years ago but in a humble rental car. Still great fun and I'd recommend it.
Lovely!
So now that you have a flat tyre on the gt4, what's your next car?
Tim I think you were biting more than you can chew by bringing all three cars around with you.
Wow the turbo sounds on that s63
The three Musketeers!
