PREBALL BEGINS! Collecting My Shelby GT500 in New York

I m back in the USA, and back with my Shelby GT500! It is time for Preball, leading up to the 2022 Gumball 3000 and where crazier to begin than New York City. Before getting on the roads of Manhattan, let s explore the showroom at TopGear Imports and get the plates on my car. I bought my Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 in February last year; took it immediately on a coast to coast adventure for the 2021 Where s Shmee USA tour, and then have been back with it on 2 occasions since in Florida. However, given I literally bought the car in North America, and this year s Gumball 3000 takes place between Canada and the USA, it s a bit of a no brainer to take it up to Toronto for the adventure. Before we get to the start though, there s a "Preball" road trip to get things underway, kicking off from TopGear Imports in New Jersey, after shipping up the GT500 from Miami for the occasion. The advance tour before the Gumball 3000 will take me from New York up towards Canada with stops in Montreal and Ottawa, and plenty of epic adventures. Firstly though, just like with my Ford GT tour in 2019, we re at TopGear Imports and have the opportunity to take a look around the awesome events space and private collection including multiple Carrera GTs, Ruf CTR chassis 001, some rather special Porsches, and a "2021" G63 convertible. The Tarmac Works MiniGT Shelby GT500 model car is available right here: https://bit.ly/3rO3gm0 Unfortunately, the British weather seems to have come with me as we set off for Manhattan in thunderstorms, but that doesn t stop the fun. With a flying visit past Central Park, to then the lights of Times Square, what an amazing experience with my Shelby GT500, especially knowing that eventually the car will be over in London one day. Big thanks to TopGear Imports for their help with getting the GT500 ready: http://instagram.com/topgearporschenj Thanks for watching, Tim Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:52 TopGear Imports Walkaround 04:26 GT500 Plates 06:19 Depart 07:17 Fuel Stop 09:41 Traffic 11:09 Manhattan 12:46 Central Park 14:38 Times Square 16:37 Next Plans 19:28 Wrap Up #Shelby #NewYork #Gumball3000 Subscribe: http://bit.ly/Shmee150YT Website: http://www.shmee150.com Shop: http://shop.shmee150.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/shmee150 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/shmee150
