My Friend Josh Cartu Bought a FERRARI PISTA PILOTI!

- I caught up with my friend Josh Cartu in Budapest to check out his brand new Ferrari Pista Piloti! Not only that though, we go for a ride in the new car talking about plans for the Gumball 3000 and also heading to the hangar to check out his private jet and the upgrades it's getting.
As part of the Where's Shmee Eurotour, we've traveled all the way to Hungary in the Ferrari GTC4Lusso - in fact the first time I've taken one of my own cars to the country. Kicking off beside the Danube in the beautiful capital city, we head up to join Josh and take a look at his latest acquisition.
The Ferrari 488 Pista Piloti is the exclusive limited version of the Pista purely for those who race in the various Ferrari programs with only around 100 or so being made. It's based on the 488 Pista itself with design and styling cues from the Ferrari Tailor Made department to pay tribute to the 2017 WEC championship winning 488 GTE car. Finished in Rosso Corsa with many Tricolore accents throughout, it's certainly quite something.
In the car, with BenzeneBen chasing in the GTC4Lusso, we head to the private airfield where Josh's plane, a Cessna Citation 650, is currently having a re-fit for an amazing opportunity to see the updates he's doing to it and catch some photos of the cars flanking on either side. As a carbon fibre fiend, I'm incredibly pleased that the private jet has now got some carbon entry steps, interior panels and tables, and even a carbon toilet!
It's been great to catch up with Josh after some amazing memories from the past including collecting his F12tdf, and the escapades on Gumball 3000. Congrats to him on the latest acquisition and if you'd like to give him a follow, you can do so at: / jcartu
Thanks for watching, Tim

It's been a while since I caught up with Josh Cartu and given he just added a Ferrari Pista Piloti to the stable, that sounded like the perfect reason to visit Budapest! Join us to go for a drive, chat about the Gumball 3000 and check out his private jet too!
I've seen one of them today
Shmee150 please upload more vlogs I love them
Cartu the madman himself lol
Good job mate
I'm confused. Tim kept talking about the Where's Shmee tour as if he was on a Where's Shmee tour. I haven't noticed that starting. All recent videos have been of his cars or car manufacturers he's visited. Nothing about a tour.
No way, Josh is back! I feel like the semi-OGs here can truly appreciate a video with him haha
For sure, glad you enjoyed it
I was thinking the same thing. OG collab
Josh, in Feb 2018: "I don't need a plane. I'll rent one when I need it." I wonder what changed?
Remarkable not enough local availability of quality / safe aircraft so I decided to get my own.
@@joshcartu4332 That's an answer only an motivated entrepreneur would give ;) 'I didn't like the options so I created my own option'
Well.. It looks like your friend and his brothers might be huge scammers...
Yup...$233 million dollar scheeme. I can't say im surprised as very few "high rollers" you see on youtube etc are truly legit! The Ontario securities commission is investigating. Ultimately, they wont be charged criminally but if they are found guilty by the commission, they will be bared from trading securities and derivatives. They basically lied to a bunch of investors in Ontario Canada as to where they operate out of, their real names amongst other info to obscure their connection to companies they owned. There are more people that invested money but various countries have different laws. The US for example has charged at least 12 people criminally for doing something similar. Isreal has yet to do so which is where the brother operate out of. Shady AF!
@@superfast30 yeh its insane. I mean it was always vague how Josh Cartu got rich and he never seemed to talk about it. Anyway, why can't they be criminally charged?
ArmedPenguins Just got formally charged.
Carlos Mohn Roller holy shit! Thanks for letting me know
Shocking to hear that. So this how he funds his lavish lifestyle while a lot of victims are probably suffering depression or being on the edge of committing suicide due to large amounts some individuals have lost.
Your friend josh who stole millions for incident people ? Are you going to visit him in jail friend ?
don't think he'll be buying new cars anytime soon
Do you know what happened to him?
@@MartinRichardi bit late but it seems he and his brothers made their money through a massive "scampire" company which basically defrauded hundreds of clients while they lived large off their investments. Jonathan and David, his brothers, have basically been found guilty, but somehow there's not enough evidence to connect Josh to the business, even though he doesn't really have another recorded form of income.
Should probably take this down eh?
He prolly will
@@DarkNymph very surprised Shmee has left this video up......
Well that’s the last well see of him for a while and all of his cars
What happened?
Adrian Navarro Charged for scamming people. So, his cars will be seized and auctioned.
My carbongasm fullfilled today I think.
Those shift paddles are gigantic and wide. But I like the Italian flag on it.
Josh is a very nice guy! And the Pista is one of the best looking cars I've ever seen, absolutely stunning! Sounds great to
I like the front and rear end design of the 488 Pista. But the side profile throw off the design, in my opinion. I prefer the overall deign of the 458 (especially the Speciale). But, I will still rather own the Pista, because of it performance.
nice guy and a good scammer as some online forums about online casinos and affiliates say. his brother was investigated for online binary trading fraud as well.....I dont know him, but this is what I read
@@automatedresponse5287 That's true. He made his entire fortune through scams with his brothers
@@automatedresponse5287 It's the Truth. Many Millions Scammed!
This scammer will pay hard now
A lot of articles about his theft of old people money and online scams coming out In his home country now
Hmm so Shmee is not keeping great company
Why
Nice company you keep...
Now Josh is gonna step the jail?✌️
The s2000 is simply one of the best cars ever made. So glad to hear you used to own one as well, Josh!
Now that we know the truth about Josh, do you really want to remain his friend? LOL
Another awesome episode for the history books , thanks shmee
I didn't expect a Pista Piloti review video turned to be a carbon mod Cessna Citation 650 video
Very interesting Tim
Thanks ✌
Me neither, but I hope you enjoy it!!!
@@Shmee150 absolutely
17:20, Lusso’s gone walkies. Lol
You, Alejandro (Salomondrin), Brooks (DragTimes) and Nick ( TheBurlacher ) actually uploaded at the very same time.
Madhavi Singh & TGE LDNM
Glad to know you are a man of culture as well
That burlacker, he's just a big 🐻 bear of a man😁👍
Fun fact: Pista means Stephan in Hungarian
🤔
I smell bs:D
@@timotheus1361 Actually it is more like Stevie...
and it means Pistachio somewhere in Asia.
@@timotheus1361 Pista in hungary is like Stevie wich is the nickname of Stephen.
Wow , the pista is in Hungary with Slovak number plate , and here I am watching it from Slovakia being a Hungarian .. lol
probably there is a reason that this internet casino scammer based on internet search is based in corrupt east europe...
"Lusso's gone walkies" If there was ever a phrase that Tim could say to let us know that he really is having a good time, there it is. That sounded like something that would be said when the camera is off; it was great!
Also, love the carbon fiber for the plane; if you're gonna do it, do it right!
A 488 Pista and his own jet. Mr Cartu, you da man!
f12 tdf,laferrari aperta,f12,...........
Also has an 812 that Yiannimize put my favourite wrap on
Wouldn’t mind being a penny behind him
@@Dev-Austin and the list goes on and on...
google his name and online casinos and other online scams. he is a known online casino scammer supposedly.
Love the FF & GT4 Lusso, ideal everyday Supercar. 488 Pista is awesome.
Still can't believe I met Josh in Rome back in 2015. Was out looking for an SD card for my camera and randomly happened upon Ferrari Cavalcade when he was driving his 458 Aperta. Great guy! I had always seen him on your channel during the old Gumball 3000 videos and then suddenly I'm meeting him in his Aperta for real!
I've always wanted to know how Mr Carrtu made all that coin....
scamming people with options trading, google him
Hi Tim! Welcome to Hungary. :)
i read this guy is internet scammer scamming people with dodgy internet casinos and other dodgy online activities, affiliate businesses, etc. is it true?
Yes 100%
the only thing that felt like my s2000 was a Ferrari!
thats quite a compliment to just how good, Honda actually are at making N/A engines!
Well the original NSX pretty much forced Ferrari to redesign their cars because it made them look very bad for maybe half the price
The s2000 is loved by many
Alround great car for the price
And not just the engine, but the whole package. It was like driving a go kart. The chassis and suspension were spot on, the shift throw was perfect. That car really was ahead of it's time
Funniest part of the video..
3:11 - "We've just been inside actually to have a drink..it's time to jump in the car!"
Josh (looking slightly tipsy) "sounds like a good idea.? we're gonna go to the air field"
Shmee being a bad influence..LOL
What a great video Shmee!! I really love this kinda random vlogs! So cool!
I have been watching your vids since 2013. Love watching them keep up the good work
His early car history, 86 prelude and a s2k
Nice :D
Oh boy...
18 hours and several countries. I drove 18 hours and got from my house in Texas to Breckenridge Colorado.... Only 3 states and 1 of those states was only a small amount of New Mexico. Crazy to think about!!!!
Budapest is one of my favourite cities. Unluckily, we didn't have much time to explore her, but hopefully we'll be back some time. As for the Gumball, I'm really curious about what car will Josh bring, but I agree that several roads in Greece are shit, so...
Show us his house! He has an amazing technology inside to control the features of his apartment!
You know you're rich, when you have a private jet. Kudo's to him for his successes in life. Let's all use these people as motivation to work hard ourselves, to become the best in your respective fields. He seems like a very nice guy, too!
Really and truly Josh is working incredibly hard these days; working hard and playing hard too
Great comment👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Doesn’t joshs daddy own a Ferrari dealership in Budapest ?
He's a scam artist. Google a little bit about his businesses.
Tbh I don't really care whether or not he inherited his wealth, or built a real business and sold it for a fat check. The fact of the matter is, my idea of success and cars and everything has changed drastically since last year. 5 years ago I was ready to sacrifice everything to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari like that, but having tried, again and again, to make that dream a reality without any success at all, I have seriously started questioning if it really is worth the price you pay in mental health and time.
People who drive Ferrari's or any supercar tend to (obviously) be driven and ambitious people who want to achieve career goals over anything else in life, and that is good! My situation, I have found, is (and it grieves me deeply) that I am in no way mentally equipped to do what is required to start a real business and manage huge amounts of orders and money. life is too precious to waste away working like you're gonna die tomorrow. I don't want to live a life where money, career and position dictate who I am. I just want a nice quiet life without worrying about money. Where I can be myself without the world sticking its nose into it. I know I may sound pessimistic, and perhaps It just grieves me that some people are naturally driven in their careers... Maybe sometime in the future, I might get the idea for a business that will provide for a greater cause while simultaneously making me rich, but I strongly suggest that people think twice before sacrificing their mental and physical health for a material object that will be forgotten sometime in the future.
One thing to add: Josh is correct that in the US you can't quite get the harnesses as seatbelts here. The American transport agency (NHTSA) will consider a new car with those belts as a racecar, so such belts are invalid. That's a huge reason why the Mercedes-BENZ CLK DTM of the mid-2000s is allowed here under a show-and-display exemption; it only has harnesses as seatbelts. Same thing with roll bars and roll cages standard from the factory, which is why Porsches never arrive from the factory to US dealers with such kit. That said, you can add in harnesses (and roll cages) legally, and the harnesses WILL count as valid seat belts if police try to ticket you for it. Strange, eh?
It's very complicated that's for sure, thanks for the clarification
Josh seems like a down-to-earth type of person who knows and loves his cars for what they do for him and always great to hang out with...
couldnt be more wrong tho, never judge a book by its cover.
This dude is so chill
Hope you had some goulash...yum! I love love Budapest. Attended an F1 race at Hungaroring a couple years ago. Josh seems like a cool hombre. Being a pilot myself, planes & cars are always a great combo!
For sure, they go hand in hand
I gave that Video a thumbs up because of this Josh guy saying he does not like Porsche. Now i do not feel alone anymore :)
What a cool video! If Josh reads this, where do you do your training? I’m a FlightSafety instructor, I teach Citation X(Ten), fastest biz jet in the world, and Citation Mustang in our Orlando Center! What a very cool refurbishment! Carbon everywhere! Love it! Best C650 out there I’m sure! Safe flying!
Thanks Tim for sharing this! As you say, planes and cars, esp fast cars go very well together!
Josh says thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it
Always remember that TDF video. First raw footage I ever saw of one. Excellent example of a dying breed
That Our Man on the Inside ! Shmee.......Shmee 150 🏁......Thanks Mr Automobilia .....Cheers !
Fun video, Josh Cartu has some beautiful cars. I bet you got some great photos, too bad you didn’t get some time behind the wheel! Cheers!
That's coming soon!
Cars and a jet, now we're talking...nice Pista Piloti and that Citation 650 is going to look good as well once it's finished. But, if you want a big bizjet, try the Boeing 737 BBJ or the 747 BBJ (Boeing Business Jet). Yep, you read that right, a 747.....
@@dakadakoperator yeah, I know. Anyway, only those with oil money could afford a BBJ anyway, especially a 747 BBJ 😀😀
Any news on the GTR Pro?
Also I think the Jimny would benefit from a 6th Gear? 🤔
For sure it would benefit from more gears, that's needed. No GT R Pro news yet but hopefully something very soon
O need so bad a 6th Gear in my Vitara too 🤣 100km/h at 3500 RPM 🤪
19:20 Can't imagine Shmee headbanging to Iron Maiden lol
That would be Benzene xD It was promptly changed
Daniel.r Haha, great catch xD
Benzene was probably inspired by the aircrafts, as Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden vocalist) may not only choir with a V12 scream but also has a Boeing big bird pilot license. ;)
@@IceAce1 , That's right, and i believe all of the band members are car enthusiasts, plus i'm pretty sure Bruce's cousin founded Singer. :D nice to see people appreciating great cars and great music
He's so humble
I noticed some good tunes on the playlist Mr Shmee. Iron Maiden Wrathchild and a Ferrari V12 must be one epic concoction. Top man great video!
Hungarian drivers are very polite 🤟😎. good video. I love to watch my old city with nice cars. Can not wait to go back!!!
Josh is sooo quiet
I don’t think you want to be with him anymore
Josh is so tame now, I remember back in the day on your channel when he was more excited. What happened to him shmee?
You still need a new V10 in the collection Tim
When is they going to me a Shmee Plane
I lived in BP for one year between August 2015 /2016 and this city is insanely beautiful! Miss it A LOT! Tried to spot Josh cars but had no lucky hahah
Have a good Evening everyone.
and yourself janis
Both of your cars looks soooooooo good with that jet
The photo opportunity was epic wasn't it!
@@Shmee150 it sure was damn epic
According to Google, Josh is worth around $5 Million.. but he has a private jet, and some of the most coveted Ferrari's in the world. Something isnt adding up.
Don't believe anything you read on Google, it also says R Patz is the new Batman. Rubbish
I recall my comment when you first bought the Lusso. I had said this is such a usable car and my word thats exactly how its turning out to be with that mileage your clocking on it.
Yes! Been waiting for a long time for another video with Josh :)
Nice friend
You need to be more disriminate with who you become friends with Shmee
He's not omniscient, you utter moron.
I so understand how it feels to have your own car on fantastic roads that are new to you! :)
Used to drive Hondas and enjoys them, much respect
He drove Honda’s because his dad owns a ton of Honda dealerships in Canada where he’s from .
I wanna live like Josh, what a life, taking your pista piloti to check out the progress on your private jet. Doesn't get any more baller than this tbh.
7:32 Audi R8
Was wondering if someone noticed. How ironic for it to just appear right when they are talking about the car culture here.
It’s a pity you’re not doing the gumball, I really like that rally !!!
Happy to see Josh Cartu again !
ATHENS!!! You're guaranteed a special time.... We love speeding.... !! Try Alcatraz club in Syngrou avenue 😉
What happened to Josh Cartu he completely disappeared from Instagram?
He’s a scammer
Amazing to see these cars and experience them with you mate! Normally these cars are in garages more than on the road.
Proper adventures with the Lusso!😁😁, if ever a time comes where you need to sell it, these will be the times to remember 🔥
Oh this trip is already turning out to be so amazing, going to Budapest was a real highlight
@@Shmee150 keep churning out the great videos, #BestAutomotiveRUclipsr*
Keep up the great work. Thanks for your content.
One of my favorite Collabs you do shmee
I'm always "Hungary" for more Shmee. Let's get some more T-Shirts going, Tim.
The best actual ferrari for me , this car had a real soul !
I bet its gonna be his ewb RR phantom!
I am from Greece and i leave in Athens .You can imagine how excited i am !
Im from Budapest..long time dont see it ❤️ thanx!
Balling on another level here! Love the Pista! If I ever win the lottery..first car I would buy! ✌
Love the Aegis license plate on the Pista Piloti.
3:48 love Italian shift pedals.
Paddles
Iron Maiden's Wrathchild playing in the Lusso! Very nice! Is that Ben's playlist or yours Tim?
The pizza pista lol love that red color with the Italian accents
If Josh should drive his car into the Danube, those steering wheel paddles will come in very handy.
Whatever happened to the scammer Cartu? Prison?
Apparently all charges dropped, posts now and then on twitter ive seen. Lost all respect for that man
Is the car for sale now?
Shmee owns 2 hypercars and many supercars and calling him sir 😂😂😂😂😂
Go check on josh cartu you'll call him a sir when you watch him drift the la Ferrari
The Ford GT is not a hypercar
Marcelo S facts
Foodie world which 2 HyperCars does he own?
@@MarcSob22 Mclaren senna and Ford Gt are both Hypercars,
That limousine on 6:34 though
Pista or F8 Tributo or Vanquish Vision or 720S or 600LT or Huracán EVO or Huracán Performante or SVJ.
These are the questions on peoples minds. 😏😌
Pista. Ferrari everyday
Shmee in Budapest?? If i didn't have an exam tomorrow, I would definitely go out, and look for you guys!
Just saw you in Zagreb!
I'm a little sad that I couldn't say hi to one of my best car vlogger :/
Have a nice time in Zagreb 😀🚙
I always love Ferrari content :)
Beautiful Ferrari. Josh should have considered changing out of his painting/DIY trousers and dressed up for the drive!!
Wow it looks beautiful ❤️
An now he is going to Jail ... F
