camera man makes a strange noise at 0:19

[TommyCasali]

do you still have this one

[Shmee150]

@TommyCasali I'm afraid not, I sold it at the end of 2010.

[tomriley123]

How many Kilometers/Miles did you get on this before you sold it? Deadly car mate!

[Shmee150]

@tomriley123 About 9,500 miles in total, it was absolutely fantastic and a great car to have as an 'only' car.

[tomriley123]

@Shmee150 Yeah mate, she's a beauty! Pretty low miles also haha! Lovely now that you have the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and Mini Cooper Countryman S! :D

[patatasete]

Please, at 0:12 Where is that road exaclty ?

[Shmee150]

@patatasete If you put these coordinates into Google Maps, that is the layby that the camera man is standing in: 43.735535,7.396577

[patatasete]

@Shmee150 Yesssss it works !! Thanks !

[rjtdbf]

Are you driving Tim?? Great sound!!

[Shmee150]

@rjtdbf Yes that's me driving. The car is currently for sale though for anybody watching this video!

[arielatom03]

@Shmee150. why do you want to sell it?

[Shmee150]

@arielatom03 I've already sold it now, but I wanted to trade it to something more exciting; namely my new Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster.

AWESOME car Shmee150!! I will be placing an order within the next few months and will be getting Sepang as well. Did u consider cinnamon or tuscon for ur interior? Just wondering, as I dont want black and the 2-tone seats just dnt do it for me. Have u seen a sepang cab w/ brown interior and black top? Thx!

[Shmee150]

@leadchic19 Thanks, what country are you in? Sepeang is absolutely lovely, and indeed I did consider other interiors but I really like the silver/chrome look across the car; windscreen surround, mirror caps, seats, interior trim etc. I'm really hesitant on the idea of a brown interior against blue though - are you sure about that?

[leadchic19]

@Shmee150 I'm n America. True, I see what ur saying ab the brown. i saw an A5 cab the other day and it had a cinnmaon interior. When I saw it in real life it looked like it would fit with sepang i think moreso than tuscon. The tuscon, in my opinion, has too much of a red undertone. But the look it reminds me of is the Porsche blue that is similar to sepang w/ brown interior. I'm not certain it fits, but thats y I asked if maybe u had seen one/ thought ab it. Thx for the response!

[Shmee150]

@leadchic19 No problem, well whatever you go for I'm sure it will be absolutely fantastic; it's a wonderful wonderful car.

[onetwothreefour721]

Sweet car, v6 supercharged?

[Shmee150]

@onetwothreefour721 Yep, it has a supercharged 3.0l V6; really fun to drive!

[patatasete]

My father just bought one for Cannes... He'kk get it in October... It's a pleasure machine !

[floannel]

great car, great color i think i'm going to replace my A4 cab :)

[Shmee150]

@floannel Do it! The A5/S5 is an absolutely wonderful machine.

[Riiiisc]

Daaamn this car looks great but I rather take an r8 but the problem is it only got 2 seats the boot is small and it's not really comfortable...how's the s5 then...

And the color looks fantastic

[Shmee150]

@Riiiisc I would love an R8, but an R8 Spyder is more than twice the price of an S5 so that's a little problem. However I am absolutely delighted with this car, brilliant fun to drive, looks great, and it's actually very very practical for a convertible also!

[TRELARAS3000]

stunning car in a fantastic place!!! The sound of the engine is awesome.

[car6maniac]

That's your car :O Immense :D My Dad was thinking about purchasing it in red but decided to get an R8 instead :L

[blackhole522]

Sounds great! Must have been a fun ride from UK.

[AhilMohan]

sounds wonderful!

Is that stock exhaust/intake?

[Shmee150]

@AhilMohan Yep, everything is entirely stock as it came from the factory. Thanks!

[BlexTrex]

I feel horrible saying this, but I'm already so bored with the Audi A5/S5 it's too common in here.

Nice color for the car best option ever.

[maserati48]

Great video, can't get enough of that car!

[swsthebest1994]

Nice shots mate !! :-)

[SummerTheFuzzy]

Every time i see this car, a little bit of wee comes out ! Arghgh so beautiful

[Beolex]

Fantastic clip!

[SuperCarSpotter]

just a wonderful video, shmee

[Fipeux]

Very nice vid !!

^^ With your car in front of the Casion of Monaco

[Shmee150]

@Fipeux I was very happy when the valet parked it there. Not very happy by how much money was wasted in the Casino!

[Fipeux]

@Shmee150 Haha :D

[MrMisterAA]

nice!. When were you there, maybe we were there at the same time?

[Shmee150]

@MrMisterAA I was there over the weekend just gone; Sat 31st to Mon 2nd. You?

[MrMisterAA]

@Shmee150 at the same time. Friday, Saturday and Monday:)

[Shmee150]

@MrMisterAA What a coincidence; Sunday was the main day I was driving around and my car was in Casino Square.

[MrMisterAA]

@Shmee150 Sunday was the only day I was not there, did I miss something big? I'm planning a trip to london the first two weeks in July next year, so I will probably see you then ;)

[Shmee150]

@MrMisterAA Probably more of the same; Saturday night was the best as between midnight and 2am the streets were just lined with Ferrari after Ferrari after Ferrari. If you are in London next year, you probably will see me; I wonder what car I'll have then though!! :)

[umbertino6]

Great car you have friend! I'm very glad for you!

[RogueNL]

Oh wow, this is so awesome! I quite liked the silent part, very artistic, although some low-key classical music would have fit nicely as well. You should make a video like this in every country or big city you visit! :-)

[Shmee150]

@RogueNL The Paris one is coming tonight ;)

[sk8erdoodjames]

that thing looks stunning! lovely exhaust note bouncing off the hills :P

Did you drive down ?

[Shmee150]

@sk8erdoodjames Yeah, drove down via Paris and Cannes so plenty of videos from my trip to be uploaded in the coming days!

[soubido]

why didnt u wait for the RS5??

[Shmee150]

@soubido They hadn't (and still haven't) announced an RS5 cab and I really wanted a convertible, not to mention that the S5 is plenty quick enough and looks awesome!

[londoncars1]

wats the 0-60 time? great video!

[Shmee150]

@londoncars1 5.5 officially; but being a double-clutch gearbox you actually get to that with perfect changes so it feels incredibly fast and smooth.

[londoncars1]

@Shmee150 cool, thats pretty quick!

[W4k47]

nice 1 Tim. doing it :)

[RacingEngineV8]

Wow...Very nice car!! I really like the S5 and I love S-Tronic!!

Nice vid and fantastic State (Monaco) +1

[fukwit2]

whyd id u buy an s5 cab, when you like italian cars so much? you could have got a 355 spider and kept the change to fix it, and buy a 4 seater when u need the space

[Shmee150]

@fukwit2 I wanted something reliable and trustworthy, and will hopefully buy something a bit nicer in a year or two, but until then I want to get used to a powerful car that I can afford to fix (note no Ferrari related costs).

[MrLamborrari]

nice, i love the s5 where i live they're kinda rare but i just love the leds

[Shmee150]

@MrLamborrari Me too, the running lights look awesome.

[Gumbal]

Very nice video Tim! Love the color, the place and the sound!

[HazaGTR]

Nice video... that S5 makes a surprisingly great sound!

-Harry

[Shmee150]

@HazaGTR Really does doesn't it, everyone is surprised when they hear it open up.

[marcopiz96]

i prefer the carrera gt! but you has got a fantastic car

[lambofanX]

@marcopiz96 The Carrera GT?! That's like watching a video of a new Fiat 500 and saying I prefer the Enzo =P

You can't compare them, but I like the S5 better than any Carrera GT ;)

[Shmee150]

@lambofanX Haha I don't think it's a real comparison ;) But as an aside I'd prefer the Carrera GT too...!

[marcopiz96]

@lambofanX nooo, because in the video there is a carr. gt! lol

[Shieskabab]

wow what a view!

[F14BigAl]

Very cool. The blue colour fits in so well!

[giovane1991]

those are really awesome places, and your S5 is so nice!! great vid my friend ;)

[lambofanX]

Beautiful scenery, in my opinion you can't choose a better one!

Great video!
