I'm glad you watched, enjoyed, and are also a sucker for infrastructure like you are cars. They go hand in hand, after all! About two-thirds in to the video, I paused over my childhood home long enough to show just how close all of this is to it -- long before much of this was a possibility. It's been fun to watch.

Glad you enjoyed it….and that you’ve followed me over here. The M5 will eat tarmac for days! Gravel roads… not so much. The drone comes in handy there. ;)

That's great you watched this, Dave. I add a detailed description for each. Here's this one's: "This is Southampton, New York's Road D Beach - 100 miles east of Manhattan and one of my favorite places on Earth - on April 16th, 2024. The music is from the soundtrack from the 1997 film, The Saint. I saw Southampton's Beach the first time in the spring of 2005 when my boss - and brilliant adman who taught me so much - Orson Munn III, showed it to me on a "beach drive." A generations-long Southampton resident, this place is deeply special to him and his family, and upon seeing it I immediately understood why. Orson had graciously invited me out to his family's weekend home so he could give me pointers on his vintage BMW motorcycle, helping me prepare for my week-long tour of Arizona on Harleys with my best friend going back to 8th grade - Jim Webster (the video Jim made about that trip is here: • Arizona Harley-Davidson roadtrip ) Orson might've taken me out in his Mustang and let that glorious V8 stretch its legs a bit, too. ;) Over the last 10-15 years, Southampton's Road D Beach has become a must-stop on my annual "Day of Brent" trip out to the Hamptons. Standing on that beach and taking in the sea breeze feels like all the world's problems don't much matter, the way the rich air seems to nurture my lungs when I breathe it in, flowing in from the seemingly-boundless Atlantic Ocean. In recent trips to the Hamptons friend, photographer, and film director Owen Elliott has joined me. He shares my astonishment with the place. It's been fun showing him around and seeing his eyes light up the way mine always do when heading "Out East." Anyway, this short drone clip I captured should give you a taste of this special place that has long felt like home to me.. far, far, far away from home."

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah - it's a sight to see. When I was walking up there, I found myself relating to a particular scene from the movie "Dazed & Confused" when newbie Mitch is taking in the party scene over by the Moon Tower. Dr. John was playing on the soundtrack. Had to use it! I'll see if I can find the scene..

Here it is! ruclips.net/video/wxRWjC8LGjE/видео.htmlsi=Pg8W-bwVALJOZ0aY

Thank you!

Good catch! It felt right to me.

Sad but true. Saw it yesterday, and it did not disappoint. Much as I walked out shaking my head at humanity.

Also checkout the Australian Pink Floyd Show next time they’re in your city if you haven’t already. Saw them last year and they put on a great show.

@@AlexGray Thanks for the tip, Alex. I see that in addition to great taste in cars, you also have great taste in music!

Thanks! "Learning To Fly" seemed appropriate

@@morebrentcampbell it’s perfect 😂🤣

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you! So true about the M5 noise! This isn't my car channel, FYI; I'll be putting a lot more up there about both cars very shortly. A few hours, actually. Here's the link to the channel: www.youtube.com/@brentdcampbell/featured

@@brentdcampbell Oh gotcha, very cool. Here are a few of my videos, and I have another one airing in a few hours. ruclips.net/video/UcHAHv15i8A/видео.html ruclips.net/video/r-abUfuvDnY/видео.html

@@Vegas3662 Good deal. I hope that W212 continues to treat you right.

The M2 CS is outstanding to drive, too. Well, both of them are for different reasons. So true about the M5 noise! This isn't my car channel, FYI; I'll be putting a lot more up there about both cars very shortly. Here's the link to it: www.youtube.com/@brentdcampbell/featured

@@brentdcampbell what are your thoughts (and your brothers) on the new M2? I'm still undecided. Thanks for the link. Been a follower of the other channel for a long time! Love both your cars and admire how well you look after them.

@@charliecooper7655 I'm glad to hear, Charlie. As for the new M2, well, it's fast and ugly. :) For the longer answer, we'll definitely be making a video about just that in the coming weeks. Ha!

Ha! Yes - I crashed it almost immediately - into a twig! Thankfully tape and super glue fixed it well enough.

@brentdcampbell mine has been surprisingly durable through multiple crashes. Mine even got blown away one day when I was flying it in Woodward park and it was too windy. Luckily I was able to U Use the "find my drone" feature. It was hovering near Swan Lake waiting for me!

@@TulsaTaurus That's good to know. Yeah, I'll be using the "Return to home" feature at some point. It was so humbling to crash, but I figure since I got lucky I'll take the lesson and do my best not to forget it!

@brentdcampbell i haven't used that feature much. I'm always afraid it will guide itself into a tree. Also RTH feature doesn't work if it blows out of range. 😊

@@TulsaTaurus Yeah - I gather that to get one that truly keeps itself out of trouble, you've gotta pay through the nose. Guess we're white-knuckling it!

Hey Erin - That's cool you saw this. I may have one more edit to make before it's ready for prime time, yet I am quite determined to help get the word out about wonderful city. I plan to subscribe to Paramount+ starting next month mostly so I can see "Tulsa King." Though I'm curious about the "Yellowstone" spinoffs, too. Sadly, TV shows and movies are rarely created to show off the place where they're shot; rather, the location is there to serve as a backdrop for the story. Do you think how I put it in the video is fair, though? People will be fascinated by Tulsa, but they still won't understand why the place is so special. My hunch is that - like I did with Montana when I started watching "Yellowstone" - people will see the shows and movies and be intrigued to look deeper to understand the place...and hopefully want to come visit and more.

@brentdcampbell yes, I thought you put it well. The things I've seen- especially TK- unabashedly show Tulsa landmarks as what they are. Not trying to pass for another place. I think you're right, that it might spark an interest, get the name in people's mind so that when they see something else they'll stop to consider it. I wish Tulsa could become a bastion to the arts like Austin or Savanah or Santa Fe. We need an established Arts school like SCAD or some of the others I can't think of now.

@@TulsaTaurus It's cool that they're showing the place as it is and for what makes it unique. So many cities - especially the farther outside the city center you get - tend to look pretty much the same. Interesting what you say about an arts school. I worked on a study for the School of Visual Arts in NYC this year. That's certainly a helluva way to attract creative people to a community.

I'm glad to hear, Erin! Where in Hawaii are you going?

@@morebrentcampbell we'll be in waikiki and Maui. We have a condo in kihei across from the beach. I was paying special attention to the eating spots you went to.

@@TulsaTaurus For better or for worse, we ate most meals at the resort. I gather there are countless great spots, though. We only got to try a few. I loved my Stewz burger! Grass-fed, no less. This was the single most-useful resource I used: www.cntraveler.com/gallery/best-things-to-do-in-maui

@@morebrentcampbell mahalo!

Thanks, Russell!

I'm glad you enjoyed the beer vessel, Jereme. I try to put something in these that everybody'll like. :) Will do, re: Hannah. That was her first time playing with an amp. I think she's got real talent. At the least, she can keep us entertained at get-togethers..
