It's gone, we say farewell to my Ford GT! The most incredible tour in the United States is coming right up, with my American Shmeemobile returning back Stateside. Secure your privacy with Surfshark! Enter coupon code SHMEE for an extra 3 months free at surfshark.deals/SHMEE
Back in 2019, I took my Ford GT out to the United States and built the most amazing memories with it, a huge part of establishing its place as a permanent Shmeemobile. Since then, I've bought the Shelby GT500 and had it in the US for 2 years, taken over the AMG GT Black Series for a tour across 30 States, and even took out the Zenvo last summer for Monterey Car Week. However, with some exciting things on the horizon, it is time for the Ford GT to head back out and that means getting it ready to go.
Today we're transporting it up to MyCarImport to load it into a container that will be taking the car on the way 'across the pond' ready for the first plans at Circuit of the Americas with the GT1 Sports Club by Curbstone. This is just going to be the start as you can bet Monterey Car Week is going to be involved, but that is only the beginning of the fun ahead.
In order to load it up, the most important thing is to disconnect the battery given the time it will be at sea, and to do this is a process that involves removing the battery, which firstly requires the front-right wheel and arch liner to be taken off to get behind.
My car is about to head out to COTA for the GT1 Sports Club by Curbstone, and you can find out more information about the event here: programme.curbstone.net/gt1-c...
If you're interested in these kinds of rare and limited cars, be sure to check out Exclusive Car Registry where you can find my Ford GT here: exclusivecarregistry.com/deta...
Shout out to My Car Import for their great service to send my car abroad:

Guys, I think Tim has a GTD coming. There will maybe be an epic trip with the dark horse, GTD and GT sometime down the line
I honestly would prefer a honest title. Having another trip is even more exciting than would be selling the car. I think people are tired of clickbaits already.

Tim please, your content is perfect enough, we watch it every time. You do not need clickbait. Saying that you go on tour with the Ford GT makes me watch it 100000x times more than your clickbait title.
Shmee is a professional, even the surf shark add was very well presented 😂
I love your speech about risk. There is literally risk in everything we do. You can not let fear be in control of you or your decisions
Always moving and "Living the Supercar Dream". Excellent work, Tim.
The shark busted my gut and bruised a rib. That was a good laugh. Hope they paid you extra for that.
I was afraid you were saying goodbye to it for good! Thank god its for another US Shmee tour!

Hey Tim! Saw the 675LT at Salon Prive today and even in the midst of the hypercars was most starstruck by that. The first video I ever watched of yours was your first drive video in the 675LT spider and I just though it was the coolest thing. So to see it today, was kind of unreal. Never stop making videos
Thank you for showing us the details of the ford gt! It’s awesome learning the details about this car like the battery location
I love the fact that you still do new content with the GT! Thanks Tim! Hope I get to see when you get here to TX
There’s something fishy about the title of the video. As always a great video, but the highlight was the Surshark part of the video. Finally a funny approach to a commercial.

Honesty regular viewers should have known exactly what Tim meant with that title 😂
I like that you show ghe downsides and not just the fun stuff
ballsy putting this beauty into this container. fingers crossed it comes out as it entered.
Wrap the dark horse to match! That would be EPIC!
The opening was a bit weird on this one, but super exciting for videos to come! Stop by Utah again!!
Good job Shmee...I didn't even think about the weather until you mentioned it😅
Ford and Ferrari win the award for best sounding V6's. I don't know how they do it, but the Ford GT and the 296 GTS sound so amazing! Of course the new pipes on the GT probably help a bit. The Ford GT sounds so angry (cant wait to hear it at COTA), and the 296 is a banshee. I hate some of the JDM flatulent trombone sounds
Oh my gosh.He's comming to America.I love it.
The container is so tight. Was the same with mine, unfortunately the wheels got damaged by the straps rubbing...nothing major, but still had to get them refurbed.
Tim if there is now some sort of regulation that the battery needs to be removed from the vehicle for transport why not have someone fit a power bypass that can be accessed via the wheel arch that links to the terminals where the battery sits? You can then remove the cars battery before transport and just get a small battery which you can connect to the car via the wheel arch terminals and rest on the fan vents in the bonnet to prevent the paint getting scratched ( You could possibly even just use one of those small high power portable jump packs) giving enough power to load and unload it from transport. That way you can drive it to where it has to go. Remove the headlight and primary battery. Connect the "transport" battery via the wheel arch disengage the park brake, put it in neutral, get it in the container and disconnect the transport battery once the park brake is re applied.
That was the most brilliant ad promo I have seen, pretty cool👍🏼
I want to know how many times each shot the Surfshark add took to film from everyone laughing
Literally just got back from Houston, loved it!!
Cool looking mk2 in back there
The GT sounds so great, you just don’t expect that sound out of a V6. Ford’s engineering and aftermarket exhaust does the trick.
The GT is so gorgeous, I hope to see it in south Florida in a couple months!!! Also is the gumball livery on the Jag the greatest ever, so clean.
I hope I get to see this car!
Shmee should start his fitness ark and get in shape ❤
I have no idea how you got through that ad without bursting out laughing at the shark 😂
The logo looks great on the grand stand thank you 😊

thanks for the efforts!
Love Tony ! The Shmee background Hero !!
Looking forward to the GT's new adventure. Also, it's sobering to realize how quickly time has passed. Feels like yesterday you were stateside with the ultra-Ford.😮
US tour ohhh yeah 💪 some hypercar hunting with Ford GT 😎
We need an Australian tour!
how did that guy get out of that container
Hey Shmee! Loving the content
Life in itself is a risk, that's way we have to enjoy every moment we can exactly like Shmee does so wonderfully 🎉🎉

Well stated about the concept of risk
I really thought it is literally a goodbye for Ford GT. Like it is one of a kind premium supercar and you letting it go. You caught us off guard from your thumbnail and title.

Hello Tim, I remember since you transport the Ford mustang gt500 from the UK - Toronto Canada to join the gumball 3000
“It’s fun how the arch liner is in two pieces” 😂
Tim, would love to see you bring either the GT500 or the GT to Australia as these are both cars we do not get here. An Australian roadtrip would be insane.
If you can squeeze in a visit to the mountains in Colorado I’m sure I could show ya some fun mountain roads with some impressive views!

I don't remember you doing all these stuff (taking off a headlight to disconnect the battery, but it in to neutral with the fucky key) the other time you shipped it to the US. It happened off camera or it's a new requirement?

Hi Tim, great videos as always! You should have gone to the US earlier this month. Since in Texas and in some other states witnessed the total solar eclipse recently, if you may or not have heard about.
It would be really cool to see it alongside the Alan Mann Heritage edition. I was at Barrett Jackson yesterday when it sold for $1.175M
I really hope you'll be able to catch up with that hippie car collector from last year or so. I am really curious to see how his space has progressed 🤩🤩
really interesting. cheers 👍
Damn. I wanted to see Brad climb out of the GT inside the container :D
Still find it funny seeing a ram truck in the UK.
Seen your car in the metal, even prettier in physical form than on the video
