Exactly. That is what turns me off about his "channel."

Two things these threads teach you. First, Shmee rubs a lot of people the wrong way. And two, don't have a youtube channel unless you have very VERY thick skin.

I have no problem with Shmee, but blame Porsche for allowing him access to the assembly line floor, and giving him preferential access on what ground !!!!!
I am sure Porsche can find much better brand ambassadors that truly believe in their product

Shmee seems like a nice guy compared to other youtube clowns. I just cant stand his voice.

Actually he got a LHD because he could not secure a RHD allocation in the UK..At least he drove it plenty..There are used 991.2GT3 manuals/PDK for sale in the UK with as little as 140 miles on them..These are the guys who should never have been given a slot in the first place IMO..

He claims he got LHD because he’s in Germany now. Total BS.

Hey, no disparaging the GT-R

Great car, but not quite as fun on the track as a GT3.

I'll put my bit of emotion into this thread. Did SHMEE actually get a Ford GT build, as in he ordered the car from Ford/Multimatic? Really? How does that happen?

The eyeballs on his YouTube channel are why Porsche gave Schmee his access. I still hate his voice, although I do envy his ability to own & drive what he does.
Chris Harris, now he knows how to drive, and until just 2.5 years ago was earning very little with his YouTube adventures. BBC has diluted his product, I miss his old work but glad he's now making good money.
