The Start of Something New: A Personal Pinch Moment

As I stood in front of my fleet of cars, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. It was a moment of pride, excitement, and also a pinch of nervousness. This was something I had been working towards for a long time, and finally, the day had arrived to put all my efforts into action. With a deep breath, I began to start up the cars, one by one, hoping that everything would go smoothly.

The first car to come to life was the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. The immobilizer's beeped, indicating it was ready to roll. Fingers crossed, I thought to myself as I inserted the crystal key into the ignition. To my relief, the car started with ease, and I felt a sense of accomplishment wash over me. Next up was the McLaren 570S, which also roared to life without any issues. I disconnected all the cables and moved on to the Ferrari FF, which required a bit more effort due to its complex start-up procedure. But once it finally started, it sounded amazing, and I couldn't wait to take it out for a spin.

As I continued to start up each car, my excitement grew. The cars were all lined up behind me, and I had decorated them with various accessories, including silver pin stripes on the GT8 Cobalt Blue Ford Focus RS. It was a bit of a mess, but I didn't care – it was all part of the fun. The classic Mini Cooper was also looking sharp, with its British Racing Green paint job and silver roof and mirrors.

As I finished starting up the last car, the Ferrari FF, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. It had been a long time coming, but finally, my dream fleet was assembled. I took a moment to walk around all the cars, admiring their beauty and complexity. Each one was a unique piece of art, with its own character and charm.

I decided to take a break from starting up the cars and instead walked over to the roof of the Focus RS. The wrap on top of the car added an extra layer of visual interest, making it stand out even more among my fleet. As I looked around at all the cars lined up in front of me, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this moment. It was a pinch moment, one that I would never forget.

As I began to take photos of the fleet, I realized just how ridiculous it must look to others. The cars were all lined up in a row, with keys scattered about, and I was standing in front of them, grinning from ear to ear. It was a moment of pure joy, one that I would cherish for years to come.

I took my time taking photos, not wanting to rush the process. Each car had its own unique story, and I wanted to capture every detail. As I worked on snapping the perfect shot, I couldn't help but think about all the adventures we would have with this fleet. The road trip to GT8, the daily adventures in the Focus RS, the classic Mini Cooper – there were so many possibilities.

As I finished taking photos, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It had been a long day, but it was one that I would always remember. I took a moment to appreciate my fleet, knowing that this was just the beginning of an incredible journey. The SHMEE fleet was more than just a collection of cars – it was a symbol of freedom, adventure, and joy.

A Heartfelt Thank You

As I looked out at my fleet, I couldn't help but feel grateful for all the people who had supported me on this journey. To my friend, who helped me set everything up despite his patience being put to the test, thank you. Your support means the world to me. And to everyone who has watched my videos and followed along on this journey, thank you. I couldn't have done it without you.

The Future is Bright

As I stood in front of my fleet, I knew that this was just the beginning of an incredible adventure. The road trip to GT8, the daily adventures in the Focus RS, the classic Mini Cooper – there were so many possibilities. And with each new day, I would be pushed to new heights, testing the limits of my cars and myself.

The Ferrari FF was a car like no other, one that demanded respect and attention. But as I drove it out for a spin, I knew that all the hard work had been worth it. The feeling of power and speed was indescribable, and I couldn't wait to share it with you all.

As the sun began to set on this momentous day, I took one last look at my fleet. It was a collection of cars like no other, each one unique and special in its own way. And as I walked away from them, I knew that this was just the beginning of an incredible journey – one that would take me to places I never thought possible.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys i'm smee and good evening to you from my garage where i have had a rather stupid idea i want to take all five of my cars and try and line them up to take a photo now that might sound a little bit more simple than it actually is because this is a multi-story underground underneath my apartment building in london where my cars are basically all dotted around in different places so the gt8 has just got back here from autosport that's right here up at the other end over there is the 675 lt spider the ford focus rs is half a level down behind us the ferrari ff and the classic mini are both down in the depths now to do this i've basically got to borrow other people's spaces so i'm doing it in the night just so i can line them and move them around without affecting or annoying anybody else and basically get all the cards together because it is quite ridiculous having everything in one place and i think it would be quite cool and make for a nice photo or two so that is my objective to try and move everything i've not previously taken the gta's down into the depths of the garage at all so i've removed the front splitter as you might have seen on the previous video which should make it a little bit easier to get it down these ramps down into the garage i've already been down to scope out where i'm going to aim to go to do this um to decide you know how i'm going to line up the cars and try and make it work as efficiently as possible and then hopefully i can take quite a cool shot and i also want to show you the car keys because i think i have a pretty nice like pile of car keys when i put them all together right now too the only previous time to now that i've ever had five cars in one place was back in august when it was the gt4 instead of the gt8 and that was really brief that was about half an hour so i did it in a rush shoved all the cars down somewhere got some photos then loaded three of them up to send them over to the nurburgring to bring garage so today i've got tonight i should say i've got a little bit more time on my side and i'm going to start with the gt8 so i'm gonna take this downstairs so that means startup number one is going to be in the aston first up we have the ecu the emotional control unit this is kind of really nice glass key for the aston so hopefully this will cold start i've been driving the car so it might be a little bit warm but if it is a cold start it will sound incredible there we go you get the kind of whip snap when you do that in this car which i'm pretty obsessed with so let's let it run for a second then try and get it downstairs one down let's go get the mclaren this one i keep tucked in this ridiculously tight and tiny space and this comes out time and time again but yes i can get it in it's not a problem because obviously it's right hand drive but i like the car being here because it's easier to get out and the key is the rather lovely cerulean blue carbon that's actually the key cover that i obviously kept from my lt coupe but i still use this for the spider double press to pop open the doors we can step in so this car's only a couple of months older than the aston but it's done a fair few miles more let's fire it up the rumble okay so let's try and get this down the difficulty with the lt is i can't really tell where the back wheels are and i don't want to carve them as i go down those traps so we'll take this very carefully and see if we can get down two down and not actually the first time these two cars have sat next to each other they did once just before i took sort of official delivery of the gta but they look very nice and no i know i've taken up two spaces but they are very very narrow as you can see from how the gt8 is parked up to the line but almost on the wall as well i'm just going to do this for photos and hopefully not get in anybody's way but next i'm going to park the focus rs just beyond that pillar and it looks here in the corner so this is i guess the easiest one keyless i should get the key out of my pocket though just to show you i have it in a nitrous blue key case just for fun paint match to the car but just touching there and we jump this is the stock exhaust at the moment but i suspect i'm going to be changing it soon but we did do the mountune fpm375 package so you can't really hear it but there's a bit more intake noise going on from in front of us this is going to go and join the crew over there three down and the focus was a little bit funny because it's parked right next to the wall which meant i had to climb through to get out but next is gonna be the mini which is kind of a traditional normal excessive pile of keys but with a very nice keychain that was sent to me i'm just going to show you quickly i like that a lot goes well with the car so the mini in british racing green is going to be the next one to join the party and i haven't at this moment driven it too much in uh the last couple of weeks so fingers crossed this goes without a hitch key in the manual fun way of opening and getting in even the tiny car there's actually somebody who parks next to me with quite a large suv so i like to um park it quite nice and tight into the wall and then we've got the immobilizer and if i put the key in let's hope it starts up that is the sound of failure so i'm going to skip the mini and go over and take the ferrari meanwhile we'll get some jump leads and try and jump the mini off the focus rs because the ferrari's battery alone is a little bit dodgy to jump and i don't really fancy trying to jump a tiny engine like this off a v12 ferrari's just there by the way um and then we'll come back to this so mini is going to be done last after all as i fumble around in my pocket then the ferrari key the traditional key but painted to match in lemon blue and i don't normally use this car to drive because i'm scared of getting it scratched because it took a lot of work to get that painted to match the car but this i drove yesterday so the battery should be completely fine one would hope and we're gonna get the noise of a 660 horsepower v12 coming into life which is always a lovely sound well it took its time that's the parking sensors by the way but i'm just gonna come around to the back give it a moment that sound is heavenly i mean between this and the gt8 they're both pretty darn good time to take the focus back down then and like i said i literally have to fight all the way through so see ya everything's plugged in we've kind of wedged the focus rs in but all the cables are plugged in so in theory start this give it a little bit of revs the battery for the mini is awkwardly there in the loops it's all started up let's give it a go let us jump back in here then and give mini attempt number two let's see if we can start it the immobilizer's on that's a good thing i guess fingers crossed keys in and we're in we're in life okay let's keep it running disconnect all the cables and then take the cars upstairs we are done the whole fleet lined up behind me not necessarily in any specific order whatsoever i've kind of messed up actually my number plates where we have sh15 sh12 sh13 then 87 tb and then sh10 so we'll have to ignore that for a moment if you're wondering for the future i've got sh16 me for the amg gtr an sh66 me because of 1966 for my ford gt when that arrives neither of which by the way are intending to replace any of this slot but for me this is a massive pinch moment because this is so so awesome i mean these two both bought new from factories expect exactly how i wanted them the orion purple paint with my good old sparkles in blue which doesn't really come out on the camera but looks amazing in the sunshine and then we went to dub customs to add the silver pin stripes to kind of accentuate against the silver wheels the gt8 cobalt blue with the orange accent pack and then some q options with the grille and the mirrors and the wing so we kind of got like ridiculously fast elegant style we've got in your face manual fun drivers car we've got the daily in the focus rs nitrous blue with the bucket seats again manual i've actually got the three manuals here manual manual manual seven speed double clutches at the ends then we've got the classic mini the british racing green with the silver stripes the silver roof and mirrors um that's basically for bumbling around town then we have the sort of i guess the baller mobile the ferrari ff the car i'm going to shoot an interesting piece on actually in a couple of coming days because this thing is basically second to none for what it does elegantly cruising with four friends a massive v12 a lot of fun yet when you're on a twisty road it opens up and it's just fantastic so here we go the shmee fleet for the start of 2017 all lined up in a row here in my garage in the night so it's not to annoy anyone um this is quite cool right now i just kind of enjoying walking by um it's quite ridiculous let me come to the roof let's pick a car the focus because the roof is wrapped and let me get out the various keys so we've got the crystal key for the aston we've got the mso key for the mclaren and we've got the lemon blue ferrari key searching my pockets here we've got the nitrous blue of the focus rs key and finally somewhere here in my pocket we have the mini key there we go the whole fleet in one let me see if i can position this nicely didn't really do it very good with that but that's it that's a lot those are the keys for the various cars and yeah quite a moment quite a lot of fun even if that was a pain jump starting cars and things but that's what happens when you don't use them too often just doing my best to avoid it wherever i can anyway i really wanted to pull this off to line them all up and now i can say i've done it it looks really cool i'm gonna take some photos before we put them all back i'm not going to film the entire d-rig process because it took a little bit longer than uh we would have liked it's been about an hour actually set all this up which is why i needed to make sure i did it at the right kind of time but i could get away with it but it's pretty cool so i really want to say a massive thanks to all of you because if you weren't watching these videos this wouldn't be possible for me and this is quite literally my dream um and there is nothing more fun than being able to share this with you and share the experiences like the road to gt8 the road trips in the various cars doing some tuning on the focus rs the classic adventures that i'll hopefully do in the mini using the ff for road trips as it should be done it's doing loads of miles and the fun stuff i can get up to in the track days and all that kind of stuff so i hope you're enjoying the videos i think there's a lot to come this year this is a pretty good way to really kick start it for me i yeah i'm looking forward to taking some pics now but thank you very much for watching thanks to my friend who helped me out with this for being very patient and i will catch up with you again very soon cheers youhi guys i'm
