Frequently Asked Questions

Shmee was a name used online long before the channel became a creator brand. Shmee was a name Tim started using for websites back in the days of 28k dial-up internet when he was around 9-10 years old, it stuck and has stayed with him around websites, online computer games and all sorts since.

The 150 was added upon discovering a website where shock-horror ‘Shmee’ was already taken! As with most private YouTube channels, it was never originally intended to become what it is now, so the name hasn’t changed through to today!

Shmee150 brings you supercar journeys, stories from The Shmuseum and connects with a global audience of like-minded high-net individuals and automotive enthusiasts.

What got Tim into making videos in the first place? Join Tim’s run down memory lane in this video and you will know all about it.

With different regions and prices changing over time, given the nature of the Shmee150 content with an international audience and videos lasting for an unlimited timescale, Tim tends to avoid the topic as it goes out of date too quickly. We suggest that viewers search online and find your local pricing on car sales platforms and websites of manufacturers.

Tim’s grandfather has always been an enthusiast and was a rally co-driver. He also got into supercar rallies as seen below with his cousin in his Noble M12 GTO at age 82! He passed the bug to Tim’s father who in turn passed it to Tim. Tim also watched another cousin taking part in the 2002 and 2004 Gumball 3000 supercar rallies, which sparked the desire to do this kind of thing himself!

This is the most difficult question you could ever ask. There is not a single car Tim prefers the most, however he really likes the following cars; Ferrari F50, Lexus LFA, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series and the Porsche Carrera GT. This is among many other cars, including his own, which he truly adores and enjoys a lot while driving.

Tim uploads videos from around the world as he regularly travels to places like Europe, the United States of America or the Middle-East, but he is based near London in the United Kingdom.

Tim mixes between DJI Mic 3 which allows four mics at once, and DJI Mic Mini which are only two. but more simple and less fussy, with longer battery life.

The Shmuseum is the home of the Shmee150 Shmeemobile collection, garage projects, memorabilia and behind-the-scenes content. It also has dedicated YouTube, Instagram and Facebook channels, where you can follow the latest adventures. Make sure to tune in, subscribe and follow the journey.

The Shmuseum is located at a secret location at an active farm venue in the countryside of the United Kingdom. We are keeping the location private due to the nature of the venue and upon the farmer’s request.

The Shmuseum is not available for public visits and also not set up as a public visitor attraction. Any access, events or visits are not possible due to the active nature of the private farm venue and upon request of the farmer, who owns the building in which The Shmuseum is located.

The number plate on Tim’s Aston Martin V8 Vantage is 87 TB, not only does the plate look symmetrical and very smart on the car, but his initials are TB for Tim Burton and unsurprisingly 87 is Tim’s year of birth. He thinks most people who watch his YouTube videos think he is younger than that, which is no bad thing!

The UK road authorities, called the DVLA, have not issued these plates for obvious reasons. The plates are simply not available, and will never be available for customers to buy and/or use on their cars.

In the past we always tried to respond to every request for a personalised message, but as the volume grew, it simply became impossible to manage. While we would love to fulfill every such request, it would not be fair to do it for some but not for others.

Therefore, without a solution to fulfill everyone’s unique requests, we decided we could no longer continue to do so. We hope you understand the reasons for this decision as the best way forward and thank you for your support.

Unfortunately, we are unable to make this work. Years ago, we drew a line and said we would never be able to fulfil these kinds of unique requests, since we get so many people asking for them on a weekly basis that it became an unmanageable situation. Therefore, we drew a line for everyone.

We felt that we could not do this for one person and then do it for another. Either we do it for everyone or we do it for nobody, and since then we haven’t found an easy way to make it work that fulfils everyone’s unique requests. We hope you understand our position on this matter and that it is maybe not the answer you expected, but at our end we feel this is the best way for everyone to move forward.

Unfortunately, this is not something we are able to make work due to the sheer amount of people asking for this. We feel we cannot do this for one person and then do it for another. Either we do it for everyone or we do it for nobody, and we haven’t found an easy way to make it work that fulfils everyone’s unique requests. We hope you understand our position on this matter and that it is maybe not the answer you expected, but at our end we feel this is the best way for everyone to move forward.

The best place to meet Tim is at events across the globe where specific meet & greets or Shmeetings are organised. Here he will have the time to talk to you, answer your burning questions, take a selfie and/or sign your private item.

Follow Shmee150 across all channels, and we will keep you posted on the latest events, which Tim will visit and Shmeetings which are being organised. We are unable to set up specific unique one-to-one meetings. Unfortunately, Tim’s immensely busy agenda doesn’t allow an option for this.

On December 13, 2024, a new EU law called the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) came into full effect​. This new law changed the way we are able to sell products in the European Union and since the United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU, it has become impossible to comply with this new legislation.

As an example, it is prohibited for a non-EU brand to sell to EU consumers without an EU Responsible Person in place​, plus there are for instance new labelling requirements, new risk assessment requirements, and specific language requirements if the product gets shipped to specific countries in Europe.

These new rules are limiting us from shipping our Shmoo the Cow merch line to countries within the European union from within our eBay store.
