Great interview, and thanks Tim for sharing this peak into the business. It only confirmed what I had presumed about Tim and the Shmee150 business. It is never an accident when something succeeds over a long period. It is smart hard work.

I would say it's the same with a lot of people. its pretty simple really, finding out what people want, making what people want, posting it when people want, say first thing in the morning, lunch time or in the evening etc, im sure there are lots of other bits and bobs, like colours, transitions even angles etc if you really look into it. but success never comes as a surprise

Thanks for stopping by Jonny! Pleasure to have you to visit my new garage and chat about it all. Will never forget when we went car spotting together back in 2013 on Fifth Gear.

Fascinating. Thanks to you both.

Tim once very kindly took me out for a meal with his mate when I worked at a motorshow in Glasgow (and they drove in an Aston) . We spent all evening chatting about cars and many things in between. He was an incredibly genial guy, who inspite of having driven every vehicle you could think of never boasted or bragged. Its an utter shame people try to put him down as he is one of the good guys!

That was good. Tim should do more of this because it shows him in a different light. Also was good to hear two KZreadrs talking about what it’s like working as a KZreadr as I don’t think many people understand what it’s like.

Red cameras are super expensive and are quite heavy, making them difficult to carry around for extended periods of time. He would have to get a rig to carry it on (which would be too cumbersome). Tim does a majority of the filming himself, so how do you expect any of that to work? How would he be able to film the inside of a car? He simply couldn't do it. You, on the other hand, seem to think that it's possible. I'm wondering what kind of filming experience you have to know all of this.

I absolutely loved this video. Hands down one of the best videos I’ve watched on KZread! Thanks a lot for the post!

Like Tim or not you can’t knock his work ethic and passion, he totally deserves everything he’s achieved. Another great episode Jonny 🙌

Another good video mate. As you say, its a struggle to get one video a week up. Hats off to Tim for doing one every couple of days.

You know what, that was a brilliant interview. We can all make assumptions about our KZread content providers, but this was particularly eye opening for me. Tim came across as a genuinely nice guy. Most of us can't imagine the time and stress that goes into producing regular interesting videos for YT. Johnny, you're doing a service with this series, so hats off to you for that. Tim, go on holiday mate. Your subscribers will still be here when you get back 👍

This was such a fun video to see. I’ve been a fan of Tim’s since his very early days and have met him and chatted on his US tour. He’s genuine and very down to earth. Thanks for taking the time to interview KZread personalities and show us the stories behind the camera. BTW-you have GOT to remix the audio and combine the channels.

Love these videos! Hope to see more of these interviews! So much more respect and understanding for Tim! Cheers Jonny! Keep it up!

Really enjoyed that - gave some insight into Schmee and just how misunderstood he is. Well done 👍

Nice conversation. Heard more about Tim's background again. I met Tim on the Nordschleife when he had his Porsche 911 GT3 and just lost his rear number plate on the highway, and then take the time to talk to you, Tim is a special person.

*JONNY* The intro loading the chairs on the trailer always catches my interest... Thanks for making the effort!!!

Really great chat with Tim. Great topics and really insightful.

Interesting interview- nice to see Tim is more like the rest of us car fans than perhaps we perceived 😁

That was a good watch. Its nice to see Tim in a different situation and one not created by one of his KZread friends. Its good to listen to a relaxed, friendly and informative chat. Thanks Johnny.

Loved this video thanks Jonny! I’m also so so pleased that this was a Part 1, so there will be a Part 2!!

I also appreciate that you are not about all those new big dollar "super Cars" that Schmee is into (though you are willing to...dabble....). I like your taste in cars (thought I want a Rover P6 or and SD1 over that Austin Allegro!). I'm more of the Charger and Impala person as well. Keep up the great work! Great interview!

Two Greats in one video! Really liked this Jonny and I’ve followed Tim a long time.

Loving this type of content Shmee! You two gentleman have great chemistry, natural, refreshing. Most informative, no stress or pretense.

Hi Jonny another great video/interview thingy and very interesting to hear the background and approach of this highly successful KZread creator. He's got some nice cars hasn't he? And a fair sized garage !!!

Another great video Jonny. Really enjoyed that and getting to know a bit about Tim and seeing that he’s a thoroughly nice guy. I’ve followed a similar path to my KZread channel, eBay trading, filming friends and travel before coming back to my love of cars. Hope to have a KHTV museum some day 👌😂👍

Really enjoyed this. He comes across as a really decent guy.

Love this series Jonny, looking forward to seeing more! 🤘🏻

That was a very entertaining video! Thanks for giving us an insight into Tim’s life and business. Cheers from Halifax Canada

Good video Johnny, definitely changed my view of Tim for the better that's for sure! Sound wasn't great though, Tim was very quiet.

Two of my favourite KZreadrs. A great interview

Really good interview of a very misunderstood character. Good work Jonny.

This is such a fantastic interview to get to see the other side of Tim and getting a more personal insight in to his rise to success this what makes him such a easy person to watch as he is down to earth regardless of his success

This was a brilliant insight to Shmee and his history and work, thank you!
