[cologist]

Rich bastards!....I wish I were one of them -_-"

[santaninha06]

NOOB

[TheBlakeob]

Spyker *

[TheBlakeob]

There are worse things than sitting in a spiker stuck haha funny video and sick car!

[JROD9496]

I learned that today at cars and coffee with the local guy with his Spyker! What a coincidence!  +1

[M5IAN]

Please tell me that's not his car.. anyway did you really do the rally Shmee?

[cremelo]

now i know how start a Spyker, now i just Need One Spyker :)

[commandouma]

Tim, are you comment stalking? :) Hah, I saw a great deal of expensive cars today in my city... Maserati Quattroporte (The second Maserati I've ever seen...) Dodge Viper (3rd I've seen on that very rode in the past 3 months... -.-) Porsche 911 Turbo, and 2 Porsche Boxsters. oh, and a lot of Corvettes. It's Corvette ville out here in Michigan.

[TomEightyEight]

Bob Forstner to the rescue!

[Shmee150]

@CarKid14 Yes, the one giving instructions.

[Shmee150]

@TomEightyEight Da dum daaaaaaaa

[DoctaM3]

LOL... this is priceless... Big red button!

[magana1manuel]

Now I know how to..

[ShaneRaweewon]

Dang that dash looks like you have to go to flight school first to learn how to operate it!

[Shmee150]

@ShaneRaweewon Spyker are supposed to be based on aviation!

[ShaneRaweewon]

@Shmee150 hehe hence my reference to flight school ;)

[ItsCarbonFiber]

I see what looks like your Aston Shmee!

[Shmee150]

@ItsCarbonFiber You can, parked up in the background.

[soubido]

hope the cars fast enough to make up for the time lost figuring out how to start it lol

[MrMisterAA]

hahahahaha!

[willsmit119]

I just hope the spyker is in neutral and not reverse because otherwise the spyker would back into a wall and that would be a pity.

[Shmee150]

@willsmit119 Fortunately there was no wall behind but yes that would be a big problem!

[XxXHwood07XxX]

Ill take the supra in the background!!!!

[TheKiwiLord]

@XxXHwood07XxX

Oh yeah... Have you heard the sound of it? It's amazing.

[XxXHwood07XxX]

@TheKiwiLord no i havent, do you have a link to a video of it?

[TheKiwiLord]

@XxXHwood07XxX

/watch?v=mJZqizjwBjY

Around the 2 Minute mark

[SpotterGijs]

Haha, well they managed to get it started eventually, but it seems like a challenge!

[XxVenomousSnipeRxX]

@shmee150 wait so you own these cars?

[Shmee150]

@XxVenomousSnipeRxX I own the blue Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster that you see (and a Mini Countryman Cooper S), not the rest though haha!

[XxVenomousSnipeRxX]

@Shmee150 do you work for Gumball? and nice choices lol

[Shmee150]

@XxVenomousSnipeRxX No, no, not at all.

[bumba96]

@Shmee150 What's your favourite car in this year's edition? ^_^

[Shmee150]

@bumba96 Easy question; the One-77.

[MTC0316]

It's worse if it's the version without keyless go...

You have to stick the key into the glovebox first

[tibby499]

Tim, my friend, do you ever talk in your videos ? at least a few words ? :)

[Shmee150]

@tibby499 Not yet, probably I'm on the verge of starting to do some reviews, lots of appropriate cars lined up!

[RAIDwarDEN]

thats a good idea making a car hard to start. makes it hard to steal :)

[roaddict4life]

I hope he asks if anyone knows how to drive a Spyker, cause I do ;D

[Shmee150]

@roaddict4life Accelerator. Right foot. Push.

[Ditwelve33]

haha nice one

[JakeDaSnakeFilms]

don't care how.. all I care is it's pwittie :3

[raoulkroes]

How hard can it be?

[matthewcardinals]

Good anti-theft device

[Shmee150]

@matthewcardinals Yes, that's definitely what they were going for ;)

[lamboroghini]

Please dont tell me that that is his.......

[Shmee150]

@lamboroghini The person starting it is part of Gumball Crew, and the guy giving instructions is the owner of the UK Spyker dealership although it's not his car but someone else's on the rally.

[jesust1993]

...

[LuxuriousDeidesheim]

Bob knows how to start a Spyker !!

[Shmee150]

@LuxuriousDeidesheim You'd hope so! He does sell them to anyone in the UK who wants one!

[OxBastixO]

Are you actually in the gumball rally or do you follow the drivers??

[Shmee150]

@OxBastixO No sadly not, I had hoped to be but things didn't quite work out so I just drove with them for a bit.

[ilovepenguins1000]

uhhh fail... lol

[sohcsarewicked]

not a good get away car

[Shmee150]

@sohcsarewicked Haha! I imagine if you owned it you'd be quicker at it, although it still wasn't a speedy process was it!

[matty2k001]

Next step, shutting off the car.

[Shmee150]

@matty2k001 Noooooo please don't!!!

[Michael322222]

wow interesting video :) thanks for uploading

[Weredo3]

@Shmee150 Is that your blue Aston Martin in the background?

[MrComputerSaint]

@Weredo3 I noticed that too

[Shmee150]

@Weredo3 Yep!

[Weredo3]

@Shmee150 Cool, are you participating in the rally? I don't see any stickers on your Aston

[camaro20099]

[Shmee150]

@camaro20099 Yes it is

[sjiht71]

whahaha he aint the only one ho had that problem

[Shmee150]

@sjiht71 No haha, we all do ;)

[bracikmen]

hahahahaahha i love it



[Andrei3646]

What a wonderful interior! That's just so BEAUTIFUL!

[Shmee150]

@Andrei3646 That's my favourite thing about Spykers, I just love the interior of them.

[Andrei3646]

@Shmee150 Yeah it's wonderful.. It's all so shiny andwell made. My favourite parts are the steering wheel and the gear stick. I forgot, great video! (:

[SFCmacca918]

i thought you'd forgetton to upload!!!!

you've been queit for a while...

[Shmee150]

@SFCmacca918 I didn't forget, just recovering from the recent bombardment of videos! I've got plenty more edited and ready to go though so stay tuned ;)

[SFCmacca918]

@Shmee150 you're doing a great job and thanks a bunch for the coverage.

[Shmee150]

@SFCmacca918 My pleasure, thanks for watching!

[SuPrAmAd101]

push it... lol

[JustinsSupercars]

This reminds me of a guy on my local gas station who was trying to open the engine bonnet on his Audi R8 for like 10 minutes...

[Shmee150]

@JustinsSupercars Haha I would imagine that the Germans would have made it easy!

[JustinsSupercars]

@Shmee150 They did.The bonnet release is just behind the drivers seat.But thats obviously still to difficult to find...

[Volodeas]

ahahaha,how come no one was stuck in it? cause on Top Gear everyone could get in but no one could get out lol!

[thginKxelA]

@Volodeas that was a TVR... not a spyker.

[Volodeas]

@thginKxelA well they had pretty much the same problem

[carstalkerz]

@thginKxelA Clearly you have never seen a Spyker...

[SummerTheFuzzy]

lol, looking in the glovebox and everything

[MrAlexV10]

LOOOOOOOL hahahahaahah what a shame!

[ikkeaxel]

dam we dutch can make good stuf mwahahahah

[Shmee150]

@ikkeaxel Haha if you say so

[ikkeaxel]

@Shmee150 what you dont like it?

[DJCW]

There, that wasn't so difficult was it?

:sarcasm btw:

[MUFC2402]

try to hotwire that one ;-)

[ipor2]

Nice, theres a car and motorcycle meeting in my town every tuesday all summer, probably gonna go there and see some nice cars :3

[ryno2085]

Where was the guy who owned the car?

[Shmee150]

@ryno2085 At the Gumball party, meanwhile the crew were responsible for moving the cars around. Of course to someone who's never been in a Spyker it's not the easiest thing in the world to do!

[ryno2085]

@Shmee150 Haha of course, Great vid Tim. Thanks

[Krille3]

@Shmee150 Why weren't u at the party?

[Shmee150]

@Krille3 Too busy filming for people on YouTube to watch! :D

[xXpeduskyXx]

LOL

[alexjxcx]

i do it every morning before i head off to work (i wish)

[Shmee150]

@alexjxcx Spykers make such lovely noises, a lot louder than you expect.

[alexjxcx]

@Shmee150 never seen1 in real life, but i think i know what you mean, spyker isnt the first name to come to mind when you think of loud cars

[Halliday57]

Great car sounds amazing

[RogueNL]

Haha brilliant, best Gumball video yet!

I kid, I kid!

But entertaining nonetheless! :D

[Shmee150]

@RogueNL Nah not kidding, it's awesome right!

[Xzibitfreek]

google it :D

[Shmee150]

@Xzibitfreek Sounded like a good idea!

[animalpolice]

Gorgeous Dutch car!

[edtri19]

Give that man a coconut (Mr Forstner that is)

[AndreyPurtov]

Maybe some button on a central console ? :)

[Shmee150]

@AndreyPurtov It's a bit of a flick this, press this, then hold this, then it will start :) Not so obvious to someone else!

[SvdT]

Isnt that one from the afro dude?

[Shmee150]

@SvdT Yep; belongs to Elo.

[SvdT]

@Shmee150 And he is known for..?

[Shmee150]

@SvdT Elo owns the London Motor Museum, and also 7 of the cars taking part in this year's Gumball 3000, including Max and Eve's Rolls Royce Drophead.

[SvdT]

@Shmee150 Ooh okay awsome. Thanx!

[GTRJacko]

The day was saved by Mr Forstner. He's like a Superhero. I think Spykers most probably are like TVR's, impossible to work out to do the simplest of functions. Awesome vid :)

[Shmee150]

@GTRJacko He is indeed a superhero; he also has some insane cars at his fingertips and likes to take them out a lot!

[aronhoekstra]

Such a Nice Car :)
