After driving around in the main ‘Shmeemobile’ we decided it was better to switch to the smaller Shmeemobile, the Mini Countryman Cooper S ALL4. This allowed us to park in central London and is less of an attention grabber but a fun car none the less.

Out in about in London we found many cool cars, an extremely amazing line up even for London standards, one could be decieved to think it was summer! We parked the Mini up opposite this Aston Martin DBS and headed out on foot.

Straight after heading out on foot we caught sight of a 599 GTO about to start up, I got to see the Shmee in action! Getting this footage requires a spark of luck and being in the right place at the right time, thankfully Shmee carries his video cameras on him all the time and is always ready to get a great shot for all his subscribers. So GTO video in hand, we went towards the centre attraction of Knightsbridge, Harrods.

While at Harrods gawping at the Bugatti Veyron parked outside, we had the joy of laying eyes on an SLS AMG coupe, the SLS AMG Roadster, the McLaren MP4-12C and a Ferrari 458 Spider all within a few moments of each other! The drivers happily revved their engines for us, allowing Shmee to capture the beauty and prowess of these vehicles.

| Lights, camera, action! |
With Shmee’s other camera I was able to help record of some of these cars, adding another point of view, and enhancing the video, learning to keep my mouth closed while Shmee was recording did take some getting used to as often my excitement got the better of me!
I enjoyed seeing Shmee work, and helping out made me feel part of the Shmee team. It was extremely exciting stuff! And unknown to us it only got more exciting!

| Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera |

| 'Al-Thani' GranTurismo |
After waiting around for a while we decided to check out the nearby area for anymore supercars. A quick 5 minute walk around the block revealed a Lamborghini Gallardo LP570 Superleggera and a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 – Decatted. These cars were caught on camera including the start-up of the LP570. This was all while having a beautiful ‘Al-Thani’ turquoise Maserati Granturismo accelerating past. A Ferrari California and a black 599 drove past 5 minutes later. These were relatively ‘normal’ cars compared to what we saw that day!

The sun had begun to set and the day was closing, but the supercar world of London had something left to entertain us with. A fire spitting Lamborghini Gallardo! This car was revving freely and letting out a loud bang, with a flame after every rev! It caught the attention of everyone around, it brought a massive grin to our faces. It was Shmee’s first recording of a fire popping car, and an excellent end, to a truly excellent day.
Retiring at the end of the day in a Cosy Starbucks Café, Me, Shmee and MsShmee, reflected on the day we’d just seen, and I’d reflected on the great day I’d had. None of us ever dreamed of having such an amazing day for spotting on that February day. But alas we did, and it was great.
