24:46, this guy putting the classic BMW driver stereotype on show for us here. Honestly Tim I agree with you, I love the sounds of these cars, but there is a limit. Especially in built up areas
I completely understand why London residents want these yobs out of central😂😂 that was absolutely unnecessary and funny. And I loved seeing shmee fight between wanting the content but also being too grown up for the Sloan street nonsense🤣
The guy in the GTR was being a proper yob, driving up and down the same road multiple times and revving it endlessly was annoying af 😂 Ruining his car for the sole purpose of getting attention smh.
that GTR driver is a complete douch... love the car, but the behaviour is just pathetic... nice cars anyways tho. good old carspotting videos :) thanks for sharing!
ANd idiots like that and the merc amg driver and the bmw with the burnout are why cars will get banned from such places ruining the fun for the rest of us.
Gotta respect your hustle Tim not only did you work your way to where you are but you're also extremely professional whilst simultaneously expressing a clear passion for cars. Thank you
As a 3x Lotus owner, and genuine car enthusiast, I’m glad to see not one other Lotus owner seen acting like a hooligan. Real car enthusiasts know the limits of their cars and the limits of societies laws!
Great meeting you this weekend and for the insights on the Lotus. My son was so chuffed about the selfie and has not stopped talking about meeting you and how nice you were. Thanks again Tim!
that GTR revving was mental, but those crazy drivers at Sloane Street was absolutely insane.. also the number plate on that 1 series definitely matches the owner’s personality lol
Always respected Tim but even more so now that I see he doesn't blur number plates to "protect" people when those people are driving like absolute bellends on very crowded and busy streets. Also notice how the people in the expensive, nice, actually fast cars, just cruise around and only the idiots in clapped out BMW's etc... feel the need to try and show off.
It is so nice to see Schmee going through what I go through with my Lotus all the time. I just park it and watch the people swarm all over it taking photos and laughing. It is such an awesome car to drive around town and some commercial areas. It is so much fun to watch people looking at it. Amazing. Enjoy it Schmee!!!
Well the beemers and the GT-R did prove one thing... just revving the engine more doesn't make your car sound better. I'd rather listen to an 812 just running idle than ever hear that GT-R hit the redline again.
It’s because of these insufferable pricks all the genuine car guys get a bad rep. That is certainly not a way to behave in a city. But on the upside great video and very nice cars.
That GTR really does sound dreadful. At first I thought it was breaking down. I love car spotting on Sloane Street but it’s such a shame to see some idiots being disrespectful and/or driving dangerously who will no doubt spoil it for us all in the end
I'm normally one for agreeing with hiding the number plates of cars the act silly at car meets. But when in central London, around very expensive cars and peoples homes, then I'm happy you showed the plate ;) and this evidence hopefully brings him some trouble.
Geez! It was like being at an exotic car show with a few very enthusiastic drivers. I have never seen so many high end luxury cars in one locale in my life. The traffic in London is crazy but as you said, it was a glorious day for car spotting. The paint colour on the Lotus almost burns the retinas. 👍👍🇨🇦
Fantastic little Car………I’d be checking the weather forecast with the roof faff. The colour is amazing. Reminds Me of the top of some of my fishing floats.
I really enjoyed this watch, nice to see you and the car out on normal streets mixing with normal people (Minus one or two). Should do a few more like this
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Video today was also, and a little bit of chaos in the middle, but awesome video overall, thanks for sharing it Tim, you’re the best dude. By the way love the color of this car.
With all of the special cars spotted in London, Tim hustles to get a glimpse of the LFA…which says that one, Tim for SURE knows his cars and heritage and two, LFA’s are really special. They’re in my all time top 3 along with the F40 and the Carerra GT…keep it up M8
Utterly brilliant video, Tim. So refreshing to get back to basics on the streets of London. I just love your style of car spotting mania and it's good to see that our great capital can still come up with the goods.
This is a stunning Car, i really enjoy the Lotus Elise line, that color is just something else. an Elise would look great in your Garage too ;) Great Video Shmee, i really like the chill Car spotting video's.
The Sian was cool, but the LFA was the highlight of the video for me. Although the moment kinda sorta got ruined by the Nissan gtr lol The GTR is cool but revving the car repetitively like that is just way over the top.
I have to say that colour and finish is definitely worthy of a show stand reveal, and I do actually like it although not sure I could drive it with so much attention. Looking forward to seeing it one day in the flesh next to my Vortex mundane Grey Elise 🤣
Shmee always the diplomat. “It’s not exactly respectful to people around here is it”😂… turns camera off, turns to Puppi: “what a bunch of utter t*ats”. GTR and m140i owners… I’ve got my fingers crossed this video can be used as evidence.
Great video Shmee! Love the Elise, does look stunning in that colour! That GTR sounds like a demented trombone though, or a sea lion 😂 Not sure why he bothered, especially next to the LFA.
The paint on this Lotus is incredible! It was a grey rainy day yesterday and I was on the M11 and I spotted this insanely bright looking Lotus, literally like half a mile away lol 😂
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's awesome that you took the Firefly to the Center of London and I also think it's absolutey incredible that a 918 Spider, LFA and a Sian and I think absolutey crazy that a few people decided to drive like maniacs
Big praises to Tim for being a role model for others to follow as we saw Tim didn't make scene, he was just chilling and relaxing also showing other car guys how it should be done, not by revving and doing burnouts also drifting in the city centre where someone could have gotten seriously hurt or killed, then people wonder why others don't like cars, it's not about the car it's about driver how you behaviour and act on the road shows others what kind of person or individual you are. 💯🙏🙌, Anyway Tim amazing video and I really enjoyed it 🙂👍😊 keep up the awesome content , plus I really liked the car it's just making a statement right now 🦁🚗🍊🟠🇬🇧🙌💯.
26:04 Sums it all up perfectly. The irony of that number plate is not lost on you! All of the evidence is there to get this moron off the roads for a bit. I hope this falls into the hands of the authorities!
I was going to say the same thing, it's basically as bright as high vis police / ambulance wrap vinyl, and maybe more. You can see it just when you're stood next to the car, the orange is reflecting back on you. A similar thing happens with a particular blue chrome vinyl that I've seen, where it leaves a hologram effect on the ground and on people
What a lovely little thing, and yes that colour, wow, it makes the other orange bits of objet d'art look relatively drab...huh, drab, how is that possible :) Nice vid as per, you very fortunate one you.
Its so incredible to see how Shmee’s whole demeanor just changes as he spots an LFA. What a machine it is. Glad to see it being driven.
25:12 what is this?!
@@Noahpsv loved that brings back memories from 10 years ago
Sad to see it’s sound ruined by that annoying gtr
@@KevinReillySV yeah I wish we could hear more of that LFA
@@KevinReillySV The GTR sounded like shit too. Dude was a total prick
seeing shmee in central london sitting on some steps car spotting, really brings me back to the beginning of his channel. good to see this again mate
Owow oren
24:46, this guy putting the classic BMW driver stereotype on show for us here. Honestly Tim I agree with you, I love the sounds of these cars, but there is a limit. Especially in built up areas
literally obnoxious

That color on the Elise is intense. I had to laugh at the "UR 57UPD" and " YO 6ITCH" plates being driven by exactly the kind of drivers you'd expect.
nailed it
very low class of people
Got massively into your videos recently, you seem like such a chill dude, thanks for sharing these awesome machines with us.
Glad you like them! Thanks for the support
that GTR driver is a complete douch... love the car, but the behaviour is just pathetic... nice cars anyways tho. good old carspotting videos :) thanks for sharing!
ANd idiots like that and the merc amg driver and the bmw with the burnout are why cars will get banned from such places ruining the fun for the rest of us.
I thought so, until I watch the rest of the video and FAR more stupid and douche things happened after that.
@@gpaje Yep, lots of morons with too much money out on the streets.
1-series driver not looking too bright either...
He very nearly topped the moron in the 1 series
You know it's a good vid when Tim goes spotting
Gotta respect your hustle Tim not only did you work your way to where you are but you're also extremely professional whilst simultaneously expressing a clear passion for cars.
Thank you
I appreciate that
As a 3x Lotus owner, and genuine car enthusiast, I’m glad to see not one other Lotus owner seen acting like a hooligan. Real car enthusiasts know the limits of their cars and the limits of societies laws!
It went from a reaction video, to a supercar spotting video with absolute mayhem, classic Shmee 150 vibes
morioooo
Great meeting you this weekend and for the insights on the Lotus. My son was so chuffed about the selfie and has not stopped talking about meeting you and how nice you were. Thanks again Tim!
26:27 And the award for the most beautiful car of the day goes to the black Mercedes W108/109.
that GTR revving was mental, but those crazy drivers at Sloane Street was absolutely insane..
also the number plate on that 1 series definitely matches the owner’s personality lol

It’s the ‘finance’ boys that clap out an AMG which has 80,000 miles on it
@@ollyoverton5409 Nothing wrong with financing a car, I'm pretty certain a lot of (most of?) Tim's cars are financed, however I get your meaning.
@@markc1793 there’s a difference between financing a 200K+ Supercar and a £30K series with a fake M kit
@@markc1793 yeah but I bet that GTR driver is dumping 50% of more of his paycheck into that thing.
Yeah hope that GTR and BMW get what they deserve
The maturity that shmee had is great! He loves cars but also knows what’s right and wrong
It is so nice to see Schmee going through what I go through with my Lotus all the time. I just park it and watch the people swarm all over it taking photos and laughing. It is such an awesome car to drive around town and some commercial areas. It is so much fun to watch people looking at it. Amazing. Enjoy it Schmee!!!
Great seeing you in London Shmee as you mentioned being a decent driver in such a place it’s essential. Thanks for sharing!!
When the king of car spotting goes for a nice relaxed drive around London.
I think Tim got more attention than most of the cars there. 👍
You should make more videos like this from London. I know you have "moved on" to bigger things, but it is entertaining to watch 🤩👍
I second that
At 10:06 just as you pan the camera to the car, one can kind of get a quick glance at how bright the Lotus actually is
This is truly a sincere self. Beautiful to drive, and one of my favorite cars. "Light is right" Colin Chapman 👍
Well the beemers and the GT-R did prove one thing... just revving the engine more doesn't make your car sound better.
I'd rather listen to an 812 just running idle than ever hear that GT-R hit the redline again.
I'm a huge GT-R fan, but whatever the hell they did to that did not make it sound better than stock... agreed with you on the 812
It’s because of these insufferable pricks all the genuine car guys get a bad rep. That is certainly not a way to behave in a city. But on the upside great video and very nice cars.
Didn't even sound good either. It's just loud of the sake of making noise, not making a pleasant noise
That GTR really does sound dreadful. At first I thought it was breaking down. I love car spotting on Sloane Street but it’s such a shame to see some idiots being disrespectful and/or driving dangerously who will no doubt spoil it for us all in the end
Agreed. What was going on with that - sounded very broken!
it actually sounds like a fricking donkey about to have a heartattack
Looking at the rear lights it’s just a regular cba with some bits stuck on it so probably broke down by the time he got home
i love you videos! you are such a humble person. love the collection since the first 458 video. love from South Africa👌
Thank you so much
I'm normally one for agreeing with hiding the number plates of cars the act silly at car meets. But when in central London, around very expensive cars and peoples homes, then I'm happy you showed the plate ;) and this evidence hopefully brings him some trouble.
That street corner had more supercars in a few minutes than the amount of supercars I've seen in 28 years of living.
The orange on this Lotus Elise looks insane!! Would like to see your Lotus when it arrives, next to this Elise in a photoshoot!!
They will be together at the Shmuseum before long
20:45 Look at all those car spotters, London is literally a circus 😂😂😂
Do more spotting videos please :) Love those videos as always !!!
Ha Ha Ha Tim "way too enthusiastically" you are all class even when it comes to Knobs on congested London Roads....Love your Content.
Beautiful Video, always love the car spotting vids. But damn that Nissan GTR sounded like it was on its dying breath 🤣
Geez! It was like being at an exotic car show with a few very enthusiastic drivers. I have never seen so many high end luxury cars in one locale in my life. The traffic in London is crazy but as you said, it was a glorious day for car spotting. The paint colour on the Lotus almost burns the retinas. 👍👍🇨🇦
that car instantly makes everything else in your garage look 10 shades darker, crazy
Some of the best content in years from Tim, clean and simple car spotting with passion
Lotus Elise Final Edition is so inconic🧡😍🇬🇧. Will grow in value, it's so rare.
Tim: I have never seen a more complicated convertible top mechanism
**Murcielago roadster enters the chat**
Fantastic little Car………I’d be checking the weather forecast with the roof faff.
The colour is amazing. Reminds Me of the top of some of my fishing floats.
This car spotting was something else. It was like you were in LA. Crazy.
I can't stand people spending their time revving their cars in city centers to get attention. In the meantime, I feel pity for them.
they are cringe period
And then people ask themselves why Europe is putting all these sound regulations…
I feel pity for their cars, probably heat soaked to death from all the stationary revving
I really enjoyed this watch, nice to see you and the car out on normal streets mixing with normal people (Minus one or two). Should do a few more like this
The color is truly next level wow
I think Tim got more excited too see the LFA rather than the Sian
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Video today was also, and a little bit of chaos in the middle, but awesome video overall, thanks for sharing it Tim,
you’re the best dude. By the way love the color of this car.
I saw you yesterday in “the square”, it’s crazy bright and is so much brighter than on screen.
With all of the special cars spotted in London, Tim hustles to get a glimpse of the LFA…which says that one, Tim for SURE knows his cars and heritage and two, LFA’s are really special. They’re in my all time top 3 along with the F40 and the Carerra GT…keep it up M8

This is a stunning Car, i really enjoy the Lotus Elise line, that color is just something else.
an Elise would look great in your Garage too ;)
Great Video Shmee, i really like the chill Car spotting video's.
London is CRAZY!! 👍🇬🇧
The Sian was cool, but the LFA was the highlight of the video for me. Although the moment kinda sorta got ruined by the Nissan gtr lol
The GTR is cool but revving the car repetitively like that is just way over the top.
Before shmee arived there was an abarth that sounded utter horrible, but people were literall running to film it
Some seriously cool cars today, but you saved the best til last - the 812 Super fast is beautiful
I have to say that colour and finish is definitely worthy of a show stand reveal, and I do actually like it although not sure I could drive it with so much attention. Looking forward to seeing it one day in the flesh next to my Vortex mundane Grey Elise 🤣
Well done kid. Showing a bit of mature car enjoyment, & with respect.
Shmee always the diplomat. “It’s not exactly respectful to people around here is it”😂… turns camera off, turns to Puppi: “what a bunch of utter t*ats”. GTR and m140i owners… I’ve got my fingers crossed this video can be used as evidence.
Great video Shmee! Love the Elise, does look stunning in that colour! That GTR sounds like a demented trombone though, or a sea lion 😂 Not sure why he bothered, especially next to the LFA.
Nice one shmee ❤👍. Literally what q fantastic review 😊
Thank you so much 😁
Great as always, love from France !!
21:17 That GTR sounds like a Whale in pain haha
HAHA! It's sounds to me like someone coughing really hard or the velociraptor calling sound from Jurassic Park! HAHA!
@@theronianquad637 Haha Yess!!
Love the DynoRod colour 😍
That color is soo bright even the Into couldn't exact PTS the color! 😂😂
FAST and FURIOUS orange Supra. This Lotus reminds me of that car. @Shmee150 I love your cars and your channel !
The paint on this Lotus is incredible! It was a grey rainy day yesterday and I was on the M11 and I spotted this insanely bright looking Lotus, literally like half a mile away lol 😂
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's awesome that you took the Firefly to the Center of London and I also think it's absolutey incredible that a 918 Spider, LFA and a Sian and I think absolutey crazy that a few people decided to drive like maniacs

💯🙏🙌, Anyway Tim amazing video and I really enjoyed it 🙂👍😊 keep up the awesome content , plus I really liked the car it's just making a statement right now 🦁🚗🍊🟠🇬🇧🙌💯.
Absolutely brilliant video really enjoyable. 👍👍
After watching this video makes me want to visit London even more than I already did
That paint makes your face glow!!! Wow that’s bright!!!
even through the video the orange give me a headach just by looking at it , it's just so vivid
A new speedy, mercury? w/black band, bespoke LOL how fun! That was a plethora of fine cars.
I absolutely love your legendary collection! 👏🏻
26:04 Sums it all up perfectly. The irony of that number plate is not lost on you! All of the evidence is there to get this moron off the roads for a bit. I hope this falls into the hands of the authorities!
That plate says everything about his maturity, and ironically the way he drives 😂
The car spotters look like teeny boppers chasing their favorite movie stars, lol. 🤣
London supercar scene is second to none
The Firefly is an engaging little beast.Thanks, Tim, and the discreet owner.
love this video so much! it just feels so chilling and relaxing at the same time, love this kind of old school car spotting video
genuinely lol'd at the gaggle of spotters following the GT-R
Good ol' carspotting videos. Love these.
I love the lotus but I'm a big dude and I think I'd shatter my spine getting in and out. Love the channel
I doubt that I could live with that colour. My first Elise was in a colour called Mustard Yellow which stood out quite well
Agreed, I find it nasty tbh
I have just remembered that the colour was called Norfolk mustard
Amazing - I love this car
this video gives effspot vibes with all the shenanigans
Glad to see that you set a good example for supercar owners.
MHYYY EEEYEEEEEES! nah but in all seriousness awesome vid , takes me back to the beginning
Shmee became an Effspot vlog at the end 🤣
Imagine the looks the Morgan 3 Wheeler in this colour would get lol! Bring on the orange lozenge!
I was going to say the same thing, it's basically as bright as high vis police / ambulance wrap vinyl, and maybe more. You can see it just when you're stood next to the car, the orange is reflecting back on you. A similar thing happens with a particular blue chrome vinyl that I've seen, where it leaves a hologram effect on the ground and on people
Never cared much for lotuses in general but these videos are kind of making me want an Elise
It's a lot of fun, believe me!
Ken seems to be doing ok for himself with matching STO and Urus 👌🏽
Yep this colour is absolutely full on and I love it!
SHMEE that was chris hemsworth (THOR) in the green urus 26:50 you didnt even notice LMAO
This is freaking nuts Shmee!
It’s nice to get the roof off , you can’t hide in that car .like the content keep up the good work 😎😎
That lotus really stands out in a crowd of supercars.
I rarely comment on any content on RUclips, but THAT COLOR!!!!! ❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
7:53 nice E39. Dark blue F80 M3 and F31 Touring also look nice
What a lovely little thing, and yes that colour, wow, it makes the other orange bits of objet d'art look relatively drab...huh, drab, how is that possible :)
Nice vid as per, you very fortunate one you.
This was like an episode of Effspot in London city center. Well done Tim. Gordon would be proud. 😂
What a super fun day, thank you for taking us.
