Ever wondered what the real life of a supercar youtuber is like? Shmee150 is the original car youtuber. Shmee aka Tim Burton started his career in 2010 and has inadvertently become one of the most controversial automotive youtubers, but there is no doubt he is the hardest working. Jonny first met Tim when filming 'supercar paparazzi' in 2013 for Fifth Gear.

Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show

This is Idol Chat, where we sit Tim Burton down in the appalling brown leather chairs and try to understand what he is really like, how his life in cars began and how he deals with such an intense lifestyle. Part 2 will go live soon, where we walk around Shmee's car collection in the Shmuseum barn.

Thanks to Tim for taking the time to let us come and film. Tim's channel is https://youtube.com/shmee150

Archive clips of Fifth Gear credited to North One Television. We have used the Fifth Gear video clip(s) after careful research into the legalities surrounding 'Fair Use', knowing that we have used the clip(s) in a factual, reportage way to validate the discussion point made by the person(s) involved in the original footage. We have used a short a clip as possible to validate said point. We have also used the clip in the confidence that it will act in a positive transformative way to the original clips.
