Things go from bad to worse when The Stradman takes delivery of a Pagani Huayra supercar for The Hamilton Collection.
It is no secret that Horacio Pagani takes pride in what he's done for the supercar world. With his roots beginning in a small town in Argentina, Horacio has elevated himself and his company to become some of the most recognizable supercars of today.
The Pagani Huayra, as featured in TheStradman YouTube Channel's latest video, is a 6.0-liter V12 powerhouse of engineering and technology. However, as The Stradman shows, this doesn't mean it's a start-it-and-go type of vehicle.

The Stradman begins the video by telling us there is "no day like delivery day" except that today is different for the reason that he will be receiving two cars. While the first delivery trailer is backing onto the driveway, Stradman tells us that inside the trailer is a Pagani Huayra, which he is storing temporarily.
The Huayra belongs to the Hamilton Collection but he is incredibly excited to have the opportunity to have the car in his garage.
After fiddling with the trailer lock, Pavel, the transport driver, gives the key to the Pagani to Stradman who realizes the key fob does not unlock the doors. After finding the manual key to unlock the door, Stradman faces the challenge of getting into the car.
The incredibly wide supercar leaves only a couple of inches to maneuver into the car. Fortunately, Stradman is able to contort his body into the car, only to find the car has a dead battery.

Stradman and Pavel, along with the help of Stradman's friend Nick, try many different things including calling the owners of the car. They even watch Doug DeMuro's Pagani Huayra video to see if that can offer some sort of assistance. They also try to push the car out but unfortunately, the car does not shift to neutral with a dead battery.
The Stradman then tries to trickle charge the supercar using a series of extension cords, but unfortunately, this has little effect in a short time span. The Stradman tells us that after spending 3 hours trying to get the car out of the trailer, he's ready to admit defeat. Since it is not his car, he does not want any liability issues and decides the safest thing is to send the car back to its owners.
