@@Shmee150 I’ve been watching your channel for years. Lusting over the collection, like hundreds of thousands of others, for some time. It’s been great watching the collection grow and change as it has. And thank you for putting out quality, drama free content for so long.
@@Shmee150 btw, the gt8 would be my choice. It’s loud, it’s flashy, it’s sexy, it’s carbon fiber. It’s just everything I want in a car I’m trying to enjoy.
Yeah I've seen comments from eco warriors literally cackling with glee that particulate filters are going to make cars even lamer than they've become, to the point where no one wants them. They want cars to be so bad that we *prefer* the prius. Which isn't just well-intentioned it's insane and fucked up. We are not fucking up *your* planet by liking cars. Stop killing the thing i care most about. Corporations on a massive and global scale are who should have to deal with climate change before a single guy has to give up a sports car. That's not the bad guy here, and they've sadly been sold the lie that we're the problem : (
I'm actually really looking forward to see the museum open up as i don't think i've ever seen all the cars together. I can imagine that all of them, all on show, is going to be quite the sight!
Really cool insights Shmee (from a guy who has access to cars w/ 1000HP). Great to see 4-500hp w/ manual gear box providing plenty of smiles & excitement on back roads. I'd own both if I could. Well done mate!
Listened to this fairly loud with headphones - the GT8 actually physically made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! Can only imagine what it's like to take for a spin on that (or any!) twisty road. Tim, you're a lucky man!
15:04 If I’m not mistaken, the 981 GT4 (385 PS) actually had a slightly de-tuned 3.8L from the 991.1 Carrera S (400 PS), not from the 991.1 GT3’s 3.8L (475 PS).
GT8 is my dream dream car... I feel so jealous that you own that car!!!! Great video as always. Also Tim if you could give me some advice to get started on my dream collection, what would it be???
The GT8 brings a sense of occasion. It's a very special car and it makes an amazing noise. The GT4 is a precise machine - almost like an instrument. I think both bring a lot of enjoyment when a bunch of hairpins are strung together. Loved this video!
Love today's content very cool to see both cars out today. So please continue to make the errand videos so cool to see you use the cars for just normal things that you have to in your everyday life.
One of things I love best about your collection is that you buy cars to drive. Hypercars are fun to watch for an episode, but they’re not drivers cars. The Aston Martin and the Porsche are true driver’s cars! I love them both.
Both awesome cars, and I’ve got a huge soft spot for the Porsche, especially the gt products, but can’t go past the Aston out of the 2 of them... I may be biased as my daily is a manual, V8 performance car, but there is something so right about a manual rwd v8... Great to see the GT8 back on the Channel as well Tim!!!
The GT8 has always been one of your cars that is my favorites. It's not the fastest or most expensive but it awesome in everyway. Just a all around great car I see why you love it.
I'm sure you're aware but on the GT4 you can turn 'stop/start' and cylinder deactivation off using the button on the centre console. Great content as ever. Tim
Great video Shmee! Would love to see you explore after market exhausts for the GT4, that could be a game changer for the driving experience and unleashing some of that flat 6’s hidden potential!
Tim and team hi, have been enjoying the quality and quantity of content for ages and realising that you're clearly perfectionists I thought you'd probably welcome an observation from an audiophile, I just wanted to suggest you try to not compress the sound levels of the audio in the videos, they are clipping a lot (as do many, many other RUclips channels) but it doesn't need to be the case and shouldn't cost you time or money to avoid, it would make what is almost perfect production perfect ! Continued best to all
Hmm I am a Porsche nut but Good Lord that GT8 sounds so menacing. Nothing beats raw naturally aspirated horsepower. Both cars are just that but that GT8 sounds heavenly when driven as it should be. Love the videos Shmee.
The GT8 is one of my favourites out off all the cars you have. We need a cold start of GT8 & the GT500 when you get it imported from the U.S.A. That will be one hell of a sound.
It's like Lambo VS Ferrari. :P The one is shouty and demands attention. The other is more sleek and refined, more about cutting through corners like a hot knife through butter. The one is the rockstar lead singer. The other a chef in the kitchen that nobody really gets to see or praise but makes some of the best dishes out there. For me, the clear favourite is the GT4, perhaps half the number and soundtrack, but twice the appeal and fun as a pure driver's focused car. But props to the GT8 for putting on a show.
GREAT video good sir! I'd love to see more of the country side you drive in and see more of Britain! I'm in Yuma, AZ and I hope to be able to make it over there someday! 👍👍
I’d like to see a Caterham or Ariel Atom or something in the garage. Would be great to see the excitement of exclusively track toy vs ‘dailyable’ supercars out on track. I miss the Morgan 3-wheeler but it wasn’t exactly a track weapon
My 2 dream cars are the Mustang Shelby GT350R & the Aston Martin Vantage GT8. Both of those cars are literally the 2 best sounding cars ive ever heard in my life. I would absolutely love to own both can get a Gt350R for about 85k usd. And a gt8 used for about 180k. Guess i need to start saving. The sounds of those 2 cars alone are worth it and both amazing track cars.
Yeah, that GT8 is epic! The GT4 is great temp car for fun on back roads but not a long term car. But the GT8 is one I can see why you would keep long term.
Yes Tim! I'm going to ramble on a bit here, forgive me, but I was thinking after watching your hypercar video yesterday that as amazing as they are, they are kind of show cars, yes often at the cutting edge of technologies, but just too detached from practical driving. Uber sports driver's cars - like these 2 interest me more because they are more relatable to less premium offerings, let's say. These two are terrific, very similar on power and performance, but quite different - I imagine - in the driving experience. I'd go for the Porsche for its greater precision and practicality. But those long gears! That must compromise the acceleration somewhat. I was watching a Harry's Garage video earlier today on the BMW M2 CS and it is relatively short geared - which I think is more common on performance cars these days. Just interested - does this car appeal to you? Definitely a superb driver's car. Anyway, thanks, and all the best with Shmuseum. Cheers!
Dear Tim, On behalf of each and every one of us who will never drive our dream-cars, much less own one; Go. Go hard, go fast, go to America, go to Germany, go go go. Film every move, show us every detail. You're doing what some men would call living the dream, and its marvelous. Each time you step into one of your beloved cars please think of us who would do anything to be in your spot. Go, Tim. We are watching!
Manual in a super car ☹️👎🏼 When a golf R does 0-60 in 3.9seconds and a modern manual super car does 4.4 🙄🤣 Nothing against you though Tim. Great content as always 😎👍🏼
Hi Tim, curious to know, do your GT4 PCCB’s make a reasonable amount of grinding noise at the rear? The sound proofing is significantly reduced and this may be responsible?

I'd surely take the Aston Martin!
Aston gang 👇
the fact i saw the car at Gaydon factory, while i was on work experience there, Aston all the way
porsche no doubt and subscribed ☺👍
Anybody else remember Tim picking up the Christmas tree in the gt8? ‘Twas an epic episode lol.
Good memories!

Can't wait for those photos
Feels like forever since the Aston Martin was on the channel Great to see it back!!
That sound from the V8 makes all the difference

@@tylerdurden4006 yes. Infact hes made a few update videos showing his cars
@@tylerdurden4006 he was on another continent for Q1. Would be difficult to show the cars
Road to GT8 is when I found your channel! Watched nearly every upload since!
The sound on GT8 is on another level.
Perhaps you should record that and put to Taycan speakers? :D
I'm actually really looking forward to see the museum open up as i don't think i've ever seen all the cars together. I can imagine that all of them, all on show, is going to be quite the sight!
Great to see the GT8 back on the channel! What it would be like to catch even a glimpse of these cars in real life!
Glad to see back Aston Martin with porsche ... Lets goo
Watch Cletus McFarlane much? Lol fire me up!!
Really cool insights Shmee (from a guy who has access to cars w/ 1000HP). Great to see 4-500hp w/ manual gear box providing plenty of smiles & excitement on back roads. I'd own both if I could. Well done mate!
I know you won't keep it, but that white and gold combo looks Majestic!

They both look amazing but the GT4 spec is truly great the colour combined with those wheels looks perfect.

Aaj finally it's soo good to see the GT8 back in action and hear that GT8 roar
I love that GT8 and The Sound are so amasing
It sure is!
How you always first!?
Tim, for me the GT8 is my fav car in the Shmeemobile collection amongst the wonderful cars u have. its the beauty n sound of yesteryear.

Congratulations on your new channel, kindest regards as ALWAYS Richard U.K
I love your gt8. It might be one of my favorite looking cars ever.
Actually a big fan of the Vantage, probably my 3rd favorite shmeemobile after the GT and 675LT Spyder
GREAT video good sir! I'd love to see more of the country side you drive in and see more of Britain! I'm in Yuma, AZ and I hope to be able to make it over there someday! 👍👍
Are you planning on fitting an exhaust? I’m taking delivery of a new 718 Spyder end of this month, already thinking about the exhaust.
Definitely missed the gt8 can’t wait for another road trip with it possibly north coast 500 with the og gang
Two of my favorite cars from your collection. Instand like
Shmee: “It’s done the Nurburgring & it’s driven to Scotland” 😂😂 that line made me laugh
Finally understanding the GT8 !! Thank you
A fun head-to-head video Shmee, cool it's a different location to film aswell 👍

Yeah, that GT8 is epic! The GT4 is great temp car for fun on back roads but not a long term car. But the GT8 is one I can see why you would keep long term.
Shmee Sr.’s garage has some tight parking!
Do you consider owning a classic at one point like when you used to have the mini.
P.S. great video like always.
I'd love to get another one
288 GTO?
@@patje.1977 lmao no ,it's too expensive
Is saw the gt8 shmee mobil today in guildford! Beautiful car.
Cant believe i was so excited to see my first shmee mobil live and in person. 😂😂
First surprise is how compact the V8 Vantage is. The 718 is a compact sports car in it's own right. The GT8 looks hunkered down beside it.
Good to see your parents doing well with nice cars. Cheers

I’m really surprised to see how close they are to each other in size. I always thought the Aston was much larger than it looks here
Having experience of an Aston, I would go for the Porsche..it will still work in years to come!
I like the analogue nature of the Aston... Its a keeper
Every time I see that GT8 I like it more and more. Real beauty.
I would love to see a 997.1 GT3rs beside the gt8. Would be the perfect duo!
Dear Sir !! Again a Very Interesting Vlog !!
My favourite car in the garage, the Aston Martin 🔥❤️🏴
The Aston Martin is so sick. That car sounds better than the gt350. Shmee, that's 💯 bro.
GT500 vs GT8 rev off will be a good one down the line
@@Shmee150 agreed. Enjoy the day. Ch e e e rz!
15:08 the 3.8 on the 981 Cayman GT4 actually came from the 997.2 Carrera S, but if it had the 3.8 from the 991.1 GT3 it would even more incredible

If I had to guess, it would be the GT4!
@@Shmee150 😅awesome!! Makes sense, great toy for country roads/back roads... Can't wait to see ur color choice! 🤩
Love your work mate
Another brilliant video
What a matchup. Sir I love Aston martins
I’d have to go with the GT8. Nothing replaces that V8 sound! Not to mention it makes for a great Christmas tree hauler 😂
I don't know if I could choose, they are both great cars!
I'm glad Tim enjoys his cars so much. Lately, his spec choices are more aligned with my tastes. Like the way he did the Porsche. The Aston?
Your gt4 spec is Fn 🔥🖖🏽
Had to change my mind like 2x 🤣🖖🏽
Wow.. Great video shmee! To me the GT8 IS SPECIAL!
Well only 150 in world it is
Shmee150 when are you planing to drive the New Porsche GT3 & GT3 RS 2021 & 2022?
Drive to donnington park in the GTv8
Swap into the GTS for a few times laps.
Congratulations sir to have awesome car collection we hope in your life you reach more success and buy more car and reveal the cars and shows us 💛
GT8 vs GT500 cold start competition. We need to see these side by side.
Would love to see the gt8 in a refreshed look....maybe a wrap?
Can't wait for you to review demanmotorsport gt4.5
Love that 718, it looks best in that colour imo
Manual in a super car ☹️👎🏼
When a golf R does 0-60 in 3.9seconds and a modern manual super car does 4.4 🙄🤣
Nothing against you though Tim. Great content as always 😎👍🏼
I am all in on the GT4 , I love it and I normally love gold wheels but I’m just not vibin the gold wheels on white paint.
You currently have, in one form or another, a flat 6, V8, V10 on the way, I4, I6. Do you find yourself missing a V12?
For sure I'd like another V12 ASAP in the garage
Vantages are my favourite cars, every time I have thought about a dream garage a V12 Vantage has always had a space
Shmee, I was wondering which football team you support? because you mentioned you were interested in football in that Life Of Palos interview.
Its been a while since I last saw your GT8.
Why didn’t you opt for the carbon roof on the gt8?
It cost about £6,000-7,000 and the weight saving was something like 3kg so I really couldn't justify that expense
#Shquad........hi Tim, the GT8 is an icon of the collection but for B road blasts the GT4 has it on suspension..... awesome duo.🤗🌶️❤️🌶️💙💙💙
Thia is a very personal question but which of the two shmeemobiles i.e. Senna and Ford GT does your father prefer?
They're both too fast - and too valuable - for road driving
The Epicness begins. Sunday done. Cheers.
Enjoy the video!
Hi Tim, curious to know, do your GT4 PCCB’s make a reasonable amount of grinding noise at the rear? The sound proofing is significantly reduced and this may be responsible?
I want to go on a cross country drive with Shmee......let me know when to book the flight, thanks.
What’s an “SRC 43”? 1:58
That GT8 is gold. Platinum spec. ;)
I had forgotten you have a rare Aston Martin GT8 because it's been more than half a year since your last video about this car had came
Love all of your cars 😎
