STILL GOT IT! This is Why I Won't Sell My McLaren 675LT Spider
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
There's no question, my McLaren 675LT Spider has STILL GOT IT! I'm at the BRDC Trackday at Silverstone with my friends at GAD Tuning, to put the foot down on the same circuit I first ever drove a 675LT. When surrounded by a GT40, NASCAR and 956, you know it'll be a good day!
Back in 2015, McLaren hosted the original global media drive at the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit, and therefore the first time I drove a 675LT myself was right here, on this famous piece of tarmac. My own Coupe arrived around 6 months later, followed by a swap to a Spider the following year; the very same car I still own now 7 years later, with 18,000 miles on the clock.
Today I've joined Ant and the team from GAD Tuning, who have done work to my C63 Black Series, as well as running various of the Shmeemobiles on their dyno: SLS Black Series, Huracan STO, and Clio V6. The event itself is the BRDC Trackday with a complete mix of different cars; whereby I find myself on track with a Ford GT40, the Andretti Porsche 956 that raced Le Mans in 1983, and numerous historic racers plus modern supercars.
While I've mentioned recently that a big car is soon to be leaving the garage, I'm pleased to say it won't be the 675LT Spider!
Thanks for watching, Tim

The original 675LT Coupe will likely forever be my favourite of any car you've owned, but the Spider is close behind. Such a significant platform for your channel and content and it's awesome to see it front and center in a video again.

Hands down my personal favourite from your collection, have seen it In person a few times, one of my favourite 675LT out there, and they are THE mclaren to have both today and in a few years time, never sell this one
I'm proud of Tim there it is the heart and soul of all Shmeemobiles his 675LT that car will always outshine all others no matter which car comes into the fleet

When McLaren really want to make a good car, they do it brilliantly. Timeless dynamics, performance and looks on the 675LT. You lucky boy, Tim!
Knew this beautiful machine wasn't going anywhere. Certain cars in your collection you have this special affinity for, and this one is right at the top of the list. Great to see it back in action.
After all this time seeing Tim enjoy every car like a true enthusiast is so refreshing. It just makes you smile. ❤
I don't know why, but I feel like I'd take it personally if you sold this car. She's part of the furniture. My all time favourite and also the best McLaren ever made!

Do the Dash SHMEE we love you from Tennessee
Personally, this is still my favorite Mclaren (outside the P1 etc.), the exhaust, the looks and the rawness are just a perfect blend.
The 675LT, this one in that spec especially, is one of VERY few turbo fun cars i lust after. Seeing it being used as intended, in such an insanely cool company, made my evening. I have a hard time believing that it's 7(!) years ago i watched you collect it. Times flies way too fast.
My favorite McLaren (yes call me crazy), but this car is attainable for many, easy to work on and maintain, and an absolute weapon on and off the track. Been thinking about selling my 12C and a few other toys to upgrade to a slightly pre-loved 675LT. The prices are so crazy good right now, and we know that will eventually change. Awesome videos as always, Mr. Tim Shmee!!!

That is, in my opinion, the best looking car in your possesion! Absolutely beautiful!
Hi Tim, your a legend. Thanks so much for bringing us all along each and every time with the wonderful McLaren!
I remember seeing the 675LT in Cars & Coffee Brescia a few years back and taking a picture with Tim. Love to see it still being used the way it should. No other channel on youtube can compare to Shmee150!

Love seeing the variety of cars on your channel and absolutely love the fact you use these beautiful machines the way they are meant to be driven. Love the channel
always nice to see a 675lt on the track, and yours is an absolutely brilliant spec.
Tim is was a pleasure to see this car in person at McLaren but also to have the opportunity to paint it for you👊
Still my favorite car in your collection, puts a smile on my face when ever i get to see it in action, keep it up Tim!
Excellent video. Really love the track day camera setup. Would be perfect setup for all your drives on, or off track.
This car is one of my favourite cars in your collection. Its a keeper. Not so agressive as the Senna.
I really love that you have kept this car. My hope is that you will be able to keep them all for as long as you like!
For me it's still the most beautiful car you own! If I could grab any key of your collection it would be the keys to the LT. And I love that you use all your cars for what they are made for.
Tim's track content is my favorite part of the channel. The true pasion and joy for driving he has gets shown so much more easily than the rest
So nice to see the LT stretching it’s legs! The senna needs to be driven flat out, I remember the last senna track day videos, that thing flat out is scary even through the screen lol
Tim should be proud today Forza horizon 5 released the hurcan STO and his purple and white paint scheme is by far the most downloaded livery right now to think all the hate that he got initially when he had the yellow trim on it.😂
Happy to finally see this car getting some exposure again!!! Beautiful spec. And the best modern McLaren. Please take it for a road trip soon
I was one of those people who wanted you to spec the 675LT Spider with black wheels, but I’m glad you got silver
The 675 is still one of my favorites in your collection, and I was one of the rare one's telling you to keep the silver wheels!
My favourite Shmeemobile and favourite 675 LT extant! Glad you still show it on KZread.
To see you enjoy your car like that was great to see. Yes we get to share it with you, but its also at the end, a man loving and spending time in his car!
Thank god that you aren't seeing the 675lt. So happy to see it out again and being loved.

Part of the Supercar experience is certain cars that are forever. The feeling never wavered.
Just saw your Cerulean Blue 675LT delivery video from 7+ years ago. 675 is your DNA!
Still probably one of my favourite cars in the garage, preferred the coupe but still what a machine.
What a great track day and well reported - felt like we were brought along. Glad to see the 675LT getting some love. I was the bloke on a Piaggio MP3 who complemented you on it in South Kensington when I think you were just going to get the PPF done. It still looks just as good today!
The 675LT is a great looking car. Glad you still have yours.

Shmee, it’s thanks to your footage and commentary on this car that I upgraded at the end of 2022 to my chicane grey 675LT Spider. Every time I drive it, it makes me smile and happy, to may drive such a special car. Thank you for sharing your great contents. Keep on the good work and never sell your 675LT👍🏁😎
Perfect track day! That’s what you said! Awesome mix of cars! Not boring at all!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
By far it’s the most favourite car in your collection
Great to see someone on you tube keep a car longer than a couple of months and to see you take it and use it on track is brilliant
The 675LT Spyder was the first of the new arrivals I ever saw on your channel, crazy to think it was so long ago! Still looks insane and still glad you stuck with the silver wheels
Sweet video. I enjoyed the old analogue rev counter jumping up and down, so much more pleasing than digital instruments.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this experience
YAY, I'm happy you're showing of the 675LT again properly!
My favourite Shmee mobile by far. It was a huuuuuuuuge leap at the time he took delivery and remains a top piece of kit. Thanks Shmee.
I used to go to Silverstone back in the 90's, I was last there in 2007 before moving to Australia. The development is incredible, the circuit looks amazing!
Can't believe it has been 7 years. I remember vividly the day you took delivery of this car, and even the first Coupe!
Love your enthusiasm and energy.. and the 675LT of course :-)
This is and will remain one of my favorites in Tim's collection.
You know what would be cool? Bring the senna out to a track day like this. The senna belongs here.
One of his best videos, IMHO, I smiled through the whole thing. Love that car.
Shmee, McLaren and Silverstone, what a team.
Looks an awesome track day! Track looks amazing, and the car is just 👌🏼
I haven't watched as many videos the past couple of years. But I had to come and watch this. Love that car. The silver wheels have even finally grown on me. ;-)

Absolutely on my top 3 best Shmeemobiles! Absolutely love the 675 LT
Wow! This is one of your best cars and it hasn’t featured in a video for so long.
Nice to see you out on track a bit more. I still can't believe you don't have a Porsche RS allocation.
Tim your passion for all different types of cars is very admirable!
I remember the days when people blamed Tim for not driving his cars properly, not driving them hard enough, not driving them on track etc. This is awesome too see, you really are a great (and sensible) driver!
Love the track days Silverstone is a fast circuit perfect for that car just need slicks . Well done with all the cameras thanks
Lovely to see the 675LT Spider back on the channel! One of my favorite shmeemobiles, it's one of the best specced cars in the collection.
Damn shmeee going after it today!!!🎉🎉🎉 thanks for the VLOG post on my birthday 🥳🥳
Saw this man today on the M1 southbound, Merc was looking great!
Loved the 675LT series!! Especially the coupe as it's the first few videos that got me appreciating mclarens. Pls drive them more Shmee :)
I believe that would have been Alex Brundle driving with Jimmy Broadbent in the GT40!
I love this car and the spec is super “smart” haha. I think if I ever had a chance to drive one of your cars, it would be this. Maybe the GT8.. it’s really hard to choose. Anyways, what a machine and amazing vehicle. I would love to see more videos on this. Imagine a U.S tour with this! Wow
My favorite one you have ever had. Been watching since the 1st blue crew

It is quite disappointing when it really just feels like they decided to bring back an old model with slight tweaks. They're improvements, but was it really necessary? Seems like they're doing it just so they don't have a gap for when they release their next car.

I was wondering about your 675LT while watching the new McLaren footages. I'd stick for that beast of yours too!!! Remember those videos of yours and MrJWW's McLaren, amazing machine with a beautiful analog RPM gaudget.

Great that you are positive about the car. Would be easy to join in with the 'haters' so refreshing to see you taking the car at face value. It looked like a ton of fun.

Nah, man... a widebody would ruin the 675LT. The whole point is for the car to be fun to drive on the streets and ballistic on tracks. All a widebody really accomplishes is make the car look different. The 675LT doesn't need that to look good.
Awesome Shmee did you meet Jimmy Broadbent? He was there aswell driving a 60s Mustang!😁

A Ducati would be slow compared to a car on a track. 4 wheels>2 wheels for traction, and that's simply impossible to overcome even if you're a MotoGP driver.
