Shmee's Koenigsegg that got away! 

Shmee doesn't produce the type of content I enjoy, but one has to respect him for what he has achieved and he is a genuine enthusiast

I need videos like this with all the car content creators.. the cars that they missed

The connections and details that Tim has on cars and car owners is next level. I don't think there is a super or hyper car he couldn't give you the full rundown on, and probably drove it.

I remember watching an old episode of pawn stars and they turned down a $100,000 manual murci roadster.

An interesting thing regarding Special One and the Trevita series is that this car is chassis #073, while the two existing Trevita are chassis #071 and #075. #071 has a plaque that says Trevita #1/3, and #075 has a plaque that says Trevita #3/3. The Koenigsegg Registry has long suspected that Special One is the lost Trevita, much because of this and the fact that except for the color itself it has all of the exterior pieces that the Trevita has.

Tim is a good car story teller.

I almost bought a '64 4-door AMC Rambler as my first car, I wound up with a hand-me-down '94 Jeep xj. I still regret to this day not getting that Rambler. Such a clean and simple classic and in todays market I could have probably turned a profit

Don’t watch too much shmee anymore, just grown out of his car content. But man, you have to respect the fact that he’s such a genuine enthusiast and just has such a true love for cars. Even when he sees cars that he doesn’t know about, he still is willing to hear about it and still is just as enthusiastic about it. A true wnthusiast

Shmee can tell a gripping story. A true enthusiast!

This guy's is the goat of vlogging

I always wonder why Shmee doesnt ask such questions to the people like Christian about the third Trevita car

Just a side note trevita do not mean diamonds it means three whites In swedish also intresting story !

Every car guy gets that virtual gut punch thinking about those that got away. Nothing like Shmee's scale, my own was a 70 1/2 Z28 RS on a dealers back lot, all there, some crappy 70's mods and Cragar's. It was a bit rough and barely ran. It was 89, and I rode my bike (pedal type, was in high school) to the bank for the $500 they would sell it to me for. Had saved up to buy a car, this would let me get the car and some investment to get it right. Got back and it was gone, someone offered them more while I was in route. 30 minutes cost me an awesome car. Found a similar condition SS 454 Monte Carlo for a grand later, so I guess it worked out. Still, will always miss the Camaro that got away.

This guy is a walking gran turismo 7 game save on 100% 😂

Like him or love him no one can say that Shmee is not the hardest male car collector on you tube. Congratulations Shmee on your well earned success.

That CCXR is absolutely GORGEOUS.

Schmeee.....your review of the Alpina b3 is what swayed me to buy one. Love it......

holy crap a cgt for 300k. that hurts, the egg too.

Ahhhh the iconic CCXR “special one”, this car is probably one of the most iconic koenigseggs ever made having travelled literally everywhere including to a showroom 5 minutes from my old home

Truly enjoy watching Tim and his travels across the United States and around the world. That Mustang he took to England is a beast. He raced Tavarish hellcat and out ran the hellcat. He has visited many RU-vidrs here in usa. Definitely a true car enthusiast that has some amazing cars. His knowledge is on these cars is 2nd to none

But that is why he is now into Zenvo, I believe if he bought that Egg we wouldnt got that content.

He is right, everyone does have a story of a car that could have bought. In 2019 or 2020(I dont remember) I almost bought a auto acura nsx but decided against it because I wanted a manual one, they go for about 3-4x what I would have paid for that car. But it was a higher mileage car but still would probably be worth at least double what I was going to pay

My car regret was not buying my bosses s2000 for 13k

I have a picture of myself next to and sitting inside the special one at a Koenigsegg dealership in dubai in 2017

Trevita car number 2 is here in Scottsdale. Fun fact it is actually marked car number 3 on the number plate, but like Shmee said it is car number 2 and they never made a number 3. Mclaren of Scottsdale was rebuilding the transmission on it and reached out to Koenigsegg to see if they could get the right number plate, but even that went missing. So for all you vinwiki car mystery buffs, if you ever find a Koenigsegg Trefita plaque that says 2 of 3 on it, know its the missing one for the car here in Scottsdale.

The fun part it’s that we had 2 in Mexico, the 1st one got total close to Monterey city and this blue one got hit by a taxi driver almost got total but it got rebuilt.

I left a DDE video to hear about Shmee NOT buying a car 😂

I saw this car (Koenigsegg) in person close up some time ago. It really is a special one ❤

Tim is the best. Excellent role model for youngsters who wanna get in this business and looking for someone to emulate. 💯

Shmee is so awesome and these videos with him are just amazing

i still cant believe that shmee is 45 years old this year he sounds like someone in his early 20's

The story told here in Mexico about that Koenigsegg "special one" is that the one who crashed that car was Don Huayras Son! He was drunk, crashed it and attempted to scape leaving the car abandoned... Idk what was he thinking... Everyone in the world knows about that car, and everyone in Mexico knows who was the owner of THAT car.

schmee is the only guest this show has ever had thats isnt a chronic liar

Awesome video! Now how about a follow up of the car(s) you bought that you lived to regret purchasing?

As an American; the Lexus LFA is such a boring sight. Hearing Schmee rave about it like it doesn’t look like it’s worth 10K new is insane to me

They come, they go. That's life you kno?

Stradman should do for the one of one p1 he couldn't get when he bought veyron..

Tim is such a charismatic guy that I'm sad that he couldn't get those cars, specially the LFA.

An LFA for under 300 grand is insane.

Saw this come across me on RU-vid that I should look at it and I did and the Contant is always good great😊

On the other end of the spectrum there are those people who sold cars that became very precious. I remember Harry Metcalfe selling his Zonda for a fraction of what they cost now.

That car is very famous in Mexico City, I've seen it once and it's amazing

Shmee is the goat

Tim is so well articulated , always a pleasure to hear him speak. 😊

This guy might be an energy vampire...

I missed out on 2 Porsches back in 2015. One was a 1975 Targa Top with a whale tale the second being a 1985 Turbo factory triple black car. Missed them for 10k for both. Such an unfortunate mistake

Shmee looks like a big version of hasbulla ~ all love

Koenigsegg is just the ultimate car

My missed buy was a Grand Prix 2+2 Aerocoupe

The lfa is my dream car hands down

That CCXR special one is in Mexico now

Not really a prestigious car for some but I once had a chance to be the second owner of a running low mile 67 Buick Riviera with the og 426 wildcat and fully functional car minus a tune up for $2500. I at the time didnt have the money being a struggling highschool student and just recently started working. I had to pass up and eventually bought a econobox run around. Seeing that car sell and just drive away after some time getting worked on in the driveaay by the buyer broke my 16 y/o heart. This was in 2014-15 I regret not askin for a loan or something to get that car.

In 2020 there was a 2012 White on red Boss 302 with 3000 miles for 37k. I didn't get it because I lived in Detroit and it was in Washington State. If I could go back in time, I would figure out the logistics

9:54 I would love to see vinwiki’s investigation on this

Not Koenigsegg interesting, but I did see an old school NSX out in the wild a few days ago. Urus the same day. MV-1 van at the college a couple days later.

Hey Tim, does that mean that you met and know Don Koenigsegg? His crash was unfortunate but at least it attests the safety Koenigseggs give their drivers at such speeds. I'm also glad the car was brought back to life

Back when i was young in 1985/1986, a friend of a friend was building a house with his new wife and they were going well over budget. He needed some more cash and offered me his 1966 Shelby GT350 for $10,000. I had the means to buy it, but i had recently purchased a new Musthang GT for $13,000. Wish i hadn't passed. There were a lot of bargains in the 1980s.

Fuck me, it's been a decade since the LFA? I'm getting old :(

My regret was not buying a Nissan R32GTR Group A spec made for the Bathurst 1 of 500 and it was 17k AUD now it's a big dollar car.

My get away car was a 2006 F430 that had a salvage title back in 2012 for $33,500

My biggest regret was missing out on a Subaru 22b about 20 years ago. 😭

Missed my top 3 cars to buy evo 8 before they shot up in price 180sx for listening to a friend and s14

Shmee is a super dedicated RU-vidr! That being said for gods sake man update your video intro to something that doesn’t look like an intro from 2005

The Blue Koenigsegg now belongs to the Sultan Of Brunei

Oddly enough, I was just thinking this past week how I was going to email shmee and ask him if he'd ever buy an egg (Koenigsegg) ....weird!

Love this video. Shmee comes across soooo much better than he does in his own videos.

0:27 stradman with that iridescent P1 😢

That egg has been around

I've seen the CCX

Years ago I sold my pristine Suzuki RG500 for $6k, wish I had that back.

Somehow, they always come back. Don't stop, Shmee. You will find it!

It’s done and now it’s called CCXR EVO

Passed on the CGT because it costs too much to maintain, but kept the MP412C…. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I wish I bought Wyclef Jean’s mclaren and zonda 😢

I love the way VinWiki always uses the wrong car images at the wrong times 😂😂 it's like the editor is deaf and doesn't even hear what the storyteller is talking about 🤣🤣

He’s cool.

Not a car but a bike, I saw one Honda RC45 for sale at Facebook marketplace for 3.5 Million Philippine pesos ( $70,000 ). I know I wouldn't get it now, but I do hope in the future the buyer now would sell it in the future when I could afford it.

Of course someone always has a story of a car they regretted not getting! Lol 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Is no one going to mention that that LFA is VINwiki green

My Mom calls me "The Special One"

The owner of the Koenigsegg CCXR special one actually has a RU-vid channel @DonKoenigsegg you should check it out, I think his videos have English subtitles.

Any chance you guys able to invite Matt Watson from Car Wow for a chat ? Lol

Gotta turn up the heat next time

I let a running and driving, no serious rust 79 F150 with 79 on the odo get away. Bro wanted $450 for it. Now it's worth over $800. I'm a fool!

❤ Tim

You should cheer up Tim, because you now own a Zenvo . 🤣😂😅😄

Me when I didn’t buy a Chevy SS when GM was 35% off 😭

Should told the story of the video he made about an electric car that was deleted. I would say in the recent days its the only deleted video from Shmee150.

Did anyone knows what happened to the famous yellow ccx that crashed into the crowd?

This is why I feel Tim is a level above the normal car tuber. He truly loves cars. He connects with them and understands the otherworldly world the hypercars live in. They are like real individuals that travel the globe, getting married /divorced having accidents getting improvements etc. His knowledge of these incredible machines is encyclopedic and his passion is contagious. Great guy.

ARTURA😮😢

At first, I thought I read Shmee bought an egg lol 😂 I think you need one in your life just saying 😌

Wow 👌

Any egg is worth it

if you are collector, only buy unlimited

One car shmee will regret again is not buying a P1 for 1.2-1.5 mil. P1 will shoot up for sure in the next 5-10 yrs

Ed buy this cartel egg…

Trevita does not translate to “three diamonds” in Swedish. Trevita is “Three white’s” like the color white.

9:47 ”Trevita” or ”tre vita” in swedish actually means 3 whites. Not 3 diamonds :)
