Spotting the RAREST Cars on London's Streets!
Vložit

- Here are some of the supercars lining London's streets! During this unprecedented time, while out for a daily walk in my local area, I'll show you some of the cars around including a Porsche Carrera GT and Mercedes SLR McLaren, plus a number of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royces, Aston Martins, Bentleys and plenty more.
The early days of the Shmee150 CZcams channel were car spotting videos around the streets of London even going back an entire decade ago. In those times it was very different, phone cameras were in their infancy and social media was in the very early days, nothing like how we know it now. Many fond memories were left with me from that time, albeit quite different these days, however we do now find ourselves in quite an unusual scenario. Given the nature of the current global situation, many countries around the world have introduced new guidelines and social distancing to prevent the spread. In the UK those are quite specific in their nature allowing a number of specific activities; infrequently visiting the shops, medical needs, travelling to work if your job cannot be done from home, and taking a form of daily exercise in your local area, starting and finishing from your home.
I am lucky to live right in the heart of London, drawn to the area by the presence of nice cars to begin with, but this has meant in recent times I've posted on Instagram and other pages when I've seen nice cars about while walking occasionally. So much so that for this outing in response to your requests, I've put together a video of the various supercars and luxury cars that I've seen on the streets.
In many cases these are now parked up and dirty from weeks of standing still, but we're also lucky to see a few nice cars on the move. With the improving weather and the lack of congested streets and traffic, it's actually meaning anybody going out is more likely to take their nicer car than a regular runabout and as such the proportion of interesting cars is high. The key takeaway from the experience is that London has never, ever been so empty - the simple lack of cars driving on these streets is something to behold.
Along my travels then the cars I've managed to find include countless AMG G63s and Rolls-Royces, a Mercedes SLR McLaren, Porsche Carrera GT, Lamborghini Huracan Performante and Huracan EVO, multiple Aston Martins, Maseratis, Ferraris including a few GTC4Lussos, a Bentley Continental GT3-R, Porsche 991.2 GT3 RS, two Brabus G700 G Wagons and even a gold chrome Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. Sadly of course, most having not driven for a while are fairly dirty and clearly in need of a drive.
While the circumstances are deeply saddening at the moment, I hope some enjoyment can come from seeing a few supercars about. Please do appreciate that this is not a channel for medical or political discussion, the UK guidelines are clear and being followed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, countries around the world have put into place 'lockdown' guidelines that vary from one to another. The actions and behaviour you see in this video are in line with those published by the UK Government at the time at which it was filmed. The video is published to entertain and distract from the gloominess of the current situation. Best wishes go out to all those are are affected by this global crisis, thoughts are with you in these trying times. You can read the specific UK guidelines here: www.gov.uk/government/publica...

These are unprecedented times making London's streets exceptionally quiet, however let's take a look at some of the amazing cars that are to be seen. The highlights include a Mercedes SLR McLaren and a Porsche Carrera GT amongst quite a few more rare and exciting supercars. IMPORTANT NOTE: This video is filmed in line with the UK's guidelines as part of a walk around the local area where I live.

Awesome video
4th
Awesome cant wait for sLs❣
Its hard not to love a bit of good old fashioned car spotting.
@DeathstrokeClub believe me it really is
I'm glad you've enjoyed it, and super lucky my end to live in an area where this is possible within the current UK guidelines. Thanks for watching
thats very true
@@Shmee150 you can spot some kinda fast car where I live in Cheshire cause the roads are so emty that people are racing
@@Shmee150 I was on a bike ride and a vw came past ( that was tuned so much it sounded like a lambo , and was quite fast not very fast but fast for a vw ) at like 60 or 70 mph and the speed limit was 30 .
Imagine being an owner of one of theese seeing him and thinking: I'll let him have a look he's probably never seen a car like this.
Little do they know....
xD
@@Shmee150 woah, didn't expect to get a reply from the Legend himself, stay safe Shmee 😷
that aint gonna happen cause who ever is a car geek or owns a luxury car knows shmee as well
@@salmanshah9221 nah. Lots of old rich people. Prob most of the bentley and RR owners. They wont watch youtube. So they wont know shmee
😂
Shmee walking around Bib's estate: "And we have another Rover 25, and in the distance a 1994 BMW, while in the corner a battered blue Peugeot 106 diesel, and for the third time in ten minutes a police car"
😂
Bib The Boulder Absolutely outstanding comment. Made my day, big time. Every time I think about it, I chuckle inside!
@@warfam_clan6933 Why thank you sir. It would actually be hilarious if he was to do a spoof video methinks.
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne You are very welcome.
For a minute I thought CZcams was recommending one of Shmee's videos 9 years later, i'm not complaining this content is great!
@Enigma Games sorry?
The wheels on that Bentley Continental gt3-r are so jacked up 😢
They've seen better days
probably driven by a woman... ;)
@@peterpetersen7811 True
Peter Petersen 🙄
Hope that because the owner use it properly
RIP Sir Stirling Moss, due to the mention of the SLR SM 😔
Philip Green 🙏🏽
🙏🏻
Good look Mr Green. 🏁🙏🏾😔💨🏁
RUCROCK1 yeah well it was all over Instagram and since Tim mentioned the SLR Stirling Moss, thought I’d point it out
Philip Green Thxs bro, yea I heard about it on Sunday, sad. Be Safe🙏🏾😌
10:41 I spotted a very rare Puppi150!! 😉🤫
lol
Shmee: goes outside sees super cars
Me: sees riced out Honda civics
London, standard
Me: Looking a 2012 video from shmee... oh wait
Feels like it doesn't it; except I'm slightly different on camera! I was so shy and awkward back then
@@Shmee150 yeah i have noticed that in this video haha. Keep up and greets from Zurich
@@Shmee150 i almost thought it was your early videos when i clicked😅😅
@@Shmee150 i think the streets were much fuller...the center of london is a travel goal of mine. Been wanting to spend a month in london in the summer for a long time now.
The Front Rim of the Bentley... that hurts
It happens when you daily drive a track car in the streets of london or anywhere lol
The curbed wheels on the bentley make me want to cry
Harry Boggis ouch
I had just noticed that it was up- setting
Can you imagine parking your 458 on the street for a month while you’re out of town? Different reality.
5:15 holy cow those wheels are curbed to death.
May the Gods of parallel parking watch over this poor Bentley! 🙏🙏
Throw the whole car away lol
I hit your time stamp and didn’t notice the poor rims until then ☹️
Probably a woman driver
Its not only the right front wheel, i saw it in his girl friend’s insta that the left front wheel is even chipped out. Wonder what kind of a driver drives the limited edition car like that..haha
Shmee is a walking car Wikipedia. He will probably forget more about cars than we will ever know 😂
This is exactly what I was thinking haha, he's a real gearhead!
Keep in mind, cars is his job basically and It's not hard to learn about them if that is what you're into and I hope if you're spending the money these cars are, you do read about them and know the differences in them..and then once you know the details it's not hard to keep up on the new models and changes made every year..but going back and learning about all them from the beginning could be challenging. But if it's your passion then it's more fun then anything
We used to have a game while walking to school as kids and that was naming everycar that passed and if we would buy one or not.
Liondog Gaming erm.. Tim’s not that much of a walking Wikipedia. From cars post 1990-ish, he knows little to nothing.
@@kv8212 You mean pre (instead of post)?
Not really, he's a talented you-tuber though.
The Aston Martin DB11 has to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made in this decade. Stunning machine!!
beautiful. Especially with diamond cut wheels!
@@britannia9916 i absolutely agree, they look very classy
2:33 that one hit hard
R.I.P Mister Motor Racing 🖤
Rip 🌹❤️💔
Classic car spotting in London never gets old! Stay safe everyone!
Perfect timing to spot nice cars in central London :-). Thanks for this informative video.
Love all your videos mate.
Does shmee ever wear casual clothes? 😂 Such a classy dude
Does..in america..quite shocking
@@cheesecakeblueberry_ even when he was in America he was in the same clothes. I remember his salmon colored button down he wears a lot
10:41 if you could be tall enough to not be blocked by Puppi.. 😂
Haha hope to see her more often in shmee video
😂😂
Shmee : Spotting rarest cars in london
.. Proceeds to show about a hundred G wagon XD
And typical Bentleys
Not surprised. Of all Shmee nice cars it feels he is driving and talking about his G Wagon more than the others. Never really understood the G wagon kinda overrated/ over priced IMO. Nice that he is outside. Good change
Great video! Really enjoyed the laid back, more quiet than usual style of video! Would love to see another one of these videos accompanied by general chat from yourself about stats, fun facts, stories relating to the cars etc!
The car spotting videos is my favourite. A true car lover is a guy that walks around and apreciates other people’s cars even though he has the sickest car collection at home. Your knowledge about cars makes me learn something new everytime i watch these videoes.This is why i watch your videos Tim!
5:12 look at the front wheel😬😬
is it just me that can't tell anything is wrong?
Has the owner kerbed it or is it just me?
@@Chak29 the front wheel is badly curbed
@@Chak29 Same
Shmee doing some car spotting wow that brings back memories from the earlier days of this channel! This is vintage. 😎
Glad you liked it
It's really nice to see this vid. All times you do your best 👍
Really cool video. Love that in this time of craziness you can still produce old format content and it is so refreshing and entertaining. Thank you Shmee!
Loving this, proper throwback to the old days
I love visiting London to spot cars especially Alfa Romeo hopefully one day I will spot you in an Alfa
Hopefully the restrictions will be lifted before too long and it will be possible to visit again
Shmee150 have you ever driven a giulia or stelvio quad? And if so, what are your thoughts?
Why a alfa? I seen so many alfa romeo's they are like porsches and Bentley's. Not even really cool to see for me anymore. I'm hyped when I see Bugatti's and koenigsegg's man.
The good ole days of car spotting, I miss these 😂
I'll take it for now but can't compare to drives
Oh well, there goes my „going to sleep early“... This is quality content as it was in the early days!
To be honest I can't even remember how long have I been following your channel, and I really appreciate all content that you have previously brought to us. I am aware of how this video has come to be recorded, but its really refreshing, and i really enjoy listening and watching you describe each and every car, give a little bit of a story and information for all of them ... GREAT STUFF, thank you for great video 🙏🙋🏻♂️
Shmee is getting back to the roots of his channel! Great to see you car spotting Tim, thats how the crazy living the supercardream journey started! Stay safe and all the best!
Thanks, be safe too
5:16 someone needs to learn how to park
(Cheers for all the likes)
Alex Dyke I was about to comment this oof
And Tim was worried about the dirty cars. A wash is wayyyy cheaper than that lol
A refurb of a wheel is actually vastly less expensive than people realise; Posh Wash in London are the place to go - I hope the owner of this does soon!
@@Shmee150 Posh Wash does an incredible job from what you've shown (plus a good wash is an entire car vs. 1 rim) so that makes sense.
Pretty dang accurate, some people shouldn’t have cars like that if they cannot tackle something as simple as that!
Wow. This is a throwback. Love you shmee. Your one of the best CZcamsrs on this platform. Been watching you for years and I still love your videos. Keep up the hard work. Thank you for the entertainment through these hard times
If i'll had a supercar, I'll be so afraid to leave it on the street 😳
Such good findings btw, love from France :)
Back to the good old days of car spotting Shmee ;)
Edit: Can't believe people own cars like these and let them live on the street like that. My anxiety would be through the roof!
Curious as to why all those expensive cars are left outside. Parkades are closed during the pandemic or what?
@@mikefreedom8881 Pretty normal for London.
7:00 I don’t think it can get more “Bentley” than this area.
OwO being a millionaire and carspotter I respect that, you never forget where it all started...
I did not know how much I missed watching a video of you only doing car spotting, it was such a pleasure to watch.
Actually would love to see one or two more videos of you doing this!
Bringing it back full circle back to car spotting. We love you Shmee 👍👍
please do more of those car spotting videos i absolutely love it!
Ahhh yes im happy to see a car spotting video right now, great that ur avoiding people and staying safe. However me and my family would be scared to walk around those streets now. Again, nice seeing u filming those cars shmee👍
It’s great to see you spotting in London again! Hopefully after lockdown we’ll see you around London some more 😉
Just how it used to be in the earlier times
Except it was never quite so quiet...
Loved this Video Shmee, it would be great to see more of these walks during the current hard times 🙌 ❤️
I'll do my best within the guidelines
Thanks so much, keep up the hard work!! 👍
Really like these kinds of videos! And I’m sure I’m not the only one who would love to see more of these car spotting videos in London or some other cities :)
You are sooo lucky to live in an area where there are so many cool cars. Thanks for the drop back in time, and glad to see you are taking advantage of the need to exercise. Keep well!
Thank you, you too
“Who else likes watching Shmee150💎”
(I hope you are doing well!)
Thanks as always!
@@Shmee150 Have a nice day :D
@Shmee150 I been watching since you had the 650s and liked all your videos from that point onward
1 subs before 2021 Challenge how’s the sub seeking going? Numbers?
Thanks for the awesome content during this period
And thank you for watching, be safe!
Thanks a lot for the video what a difference between now and before the good thing is that people are lessening and staying off the streets, am always amazed at how much you know about supercars and HyperCard and just all modern cars in general a big tums UP to you and your team for making these wonderful videos that help me kill some time in these days where living thank you Shmee.
This video brought back memories I forgot I had about your channel. That’s crazy. The difference you have on camera presence is so much more confident now!
10:43 as your girlfriend said on insta, she ruined your shot 😂
Haha somebody who saw her story!
@@Shmee150 yep, she sure loves her doors in london
Girlfriend? Wow, I always thought this guy was a homosexual! He dresses nice. The way he talks. A bit of effeminate. I thought he was 100% gay.
(not that there's anything wrong with being gay)
@@88brandonlee88 it's the British accent he's just a very dapper individual 👌
I'm so so jealous of this! My day is amazing if I see a basic 911 over here
I'm super lucky to see all of this on my doorstep for sure, hope it's enjoyable to see as well
honestly this should be the best video in amongst the latest videos, there is no rush no hush, just simple car spotting, I love it:))))
Nice to see London again and the places I normally go .I am a London carspotter and I can’t wait until things are back to normal .Great video 👌
This is why Smee is no1 car youtuber only he would turn his daily walk into an interesting vid
oops sorry about the spelling shmee
10:40 i see a wild Puppi150
Loved this. It's so refreshing seeing an old style car spotting video from the sidewalk!!
AH just like the old days, Shmee spotting cars, love it. To see how far you and this channel have grown. Cheers
2:32 RIP Sir Stirling Moss.
Shmee on the streets, catching some good rides with his lens. Just like the old times. :333
Really love car spotting videos, maybe you could do a guide to the best places to spot cars Shmee? When this is over I'd like to visit London and car spotting would make a great way to spend my day!!!
I’m quite enjoying all these automotive youtubers doing car spotting vlogs. The excitement that y’all still have only makes me appreciate the hard work y’all do even more.
5:05 money is not an issue. Look at the right front wheel scratches from the curb side and consider this is a collector car, I'm dying just to touch one
It certainly isn't, wouldn't ever park cars like those on the street, but they're everywhere, like old beaters.
Noo those wheels on the bentley gt3r 😭😭
Track use probably or just bad parking?
Really enjoyed this video. I think it's a nice throwback to the old days of London supercar spotting. Could you do more of these? Of course, do stay in as often as possible and minimise the frequency of going out. Health is the number one priority. Stay safe, everyone!
Wow shmee I enjoyed this video so much, I miss car spotting downtown London, and the lockdown situation makes it more interesting, to see from up close how empty are these streets now, and yet to find so many cool and rare cars. If possible do it again, and please stay safe.
Rip Sir Stirling Moss whom recently passed.
Bet it's well weird living and walking through London when it's really quiet 😂
That's mad how a supercharged V8 merc has the same number of gears as my 2006 1.25L ford fiesta
It never cease to amaze me the lack of garages for those ultra expensive mansions and cars parked outside.
Finally. its great to see you back on youtube with your usual carspooting videos. like old days. ShmeeSpotting
End of the world : MODE ON
Shmee : "It's time to go to car spotting"
Hyde Park Corner, I didn’t spect you living in there! I hope to see you in the future!
Let me thank you for the effort you are making to keep us all from going insane by providing this content. Really enjoying the old school car spotting. keep it going and stay safe Shmee
Please do this more! I love watching your old car spotting videos and its great to see you back at it!
I thought you'd be wearing a cerulean blue face mask lol
Back to the car spotting days.
Hope everything gets normal.
@6:00 “Easy quick tip” 👀 Shmee being punny I see
Loved watching this Tim, thanks and stay safe
Old school car spotting video, nice for a change. It also was great to see your encyclopaedic knowledge of super cars off the top of your head!
10:42 @puppi150 spotted!
Yep!
Hands down, shmee is the best! I learned more from this video than i expected
It’s crazy how much knowledge you have on each and every car. A true legend when it comes to car spotting and car facts. Great video as always Tim
Thank you
Thanks for encouraging us to stay safe during these unprecedented times and a great car spotter you are.
The English people definitely love their car brands.
Most in this vid are refined and easy to drive, as well as being good. The italian brands are loved too, same with german. The italian brands dont have a good reputation though. They dont do too well in english weather, and our winters will kill them fast and that combined with more race spec interiors i think means people use them rarely.
He is waking around ritzy area, most English ppl don’t even have cars and ones that do have tiny lame cars.
N L hot hatches aren’t lame and Ford Transits aren’t small or lame
@@Nedinho23 That's simply not true. Yes, in London, many rely on public transport, but in most of the UK most people have a car.
Lloydy___ hot hatches are ok, but transits are just vans bruv.
5:29 the master of wheel curbing 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I found this refreshing. Just like old times. Thank you Tim!
Hi thanks for the content during these times helps get through the day , keep it coming
Your greatest fan
11:20 "look at what we've got here...…." (I thought you were going to say "a red London Bus")
Oh my gosh the front wheel on that Bentley gtr money really can’t buy talent
Clobi Rml you don’t need any talent to park without hitting curbs. Just a little care and awareness.
Wide car big wheels. Easy to do for any driver
tom condron saying that I went from a 206 to a 5 series and in 6months still haven’t curbed it. That’s on the drivers side aswell so no excuse there
@@Colbi.Morris only a matter of time.
Ok bro.
Thank you very much for this video Shmee, enjoyed it :)
Now that was a decent leg stretching session and down to earth car spotting. I especially loved the SLR which is becoming a rare beast. Thanks Shmee and stay healthy!
Hi Shmee, I don't know if you ever read and pay attention to comments from small CZcams creators. But my subscribers suggested to ask You for a help with my channel monetization. I have no idea how to get monetized on CZcams and every month when I apply i get rejected. Tried to reach out to someone at CZcams but all I get are automated replies from CZcams bots. Have so many plans for this car season to go and film awesome people and companies who are building amazing cars, but it's hard to achieve without budget to even cover fuel costs so I can go and film on the locations.
I don't know If you ever will read this but at least I tried!
Stay safe and keep on making awesome content!
Cheers mate!
Shmee went car spotting when himself own a Hyper Car
This was so chill just walking around spotting cars love the video and hopefully we can more like these.
Great to see the Channel back on its roots
This gave me something to watch that I actually found quite interesting
parks carrera gt on the side of a street
Me: Dies inside
Cool video getting back to old school car spotting! Thanks
Now this it’s what I call a real car reviewer, not by appointment and calls and arrangements thumbs up who’s agree 👍
