    I always wondered how Puppi kept the shots so steady and then we see in the reflection the camera is on a pole or gimble system. Here I thought she had incredible arm strength. Either way, she always does an excellent job in filming everything and just always follows wherever you are and whatever you are pointing out. You two make a great videography team.

    No mention of the slightly dirty black/grey Chevy Malibu? Just kidding. I LOVE how many of these cars are manuals and they all look stunning in that California sun! The weather does not get any better than that. A drive in this weather with these cars in this place is what a perfect day looks like. Thanks again for the great content Shmee! Work has been busy so now I am playing catch up with your videos. Actually, this looks like what Forza Horizon would look like in real life and in California. Just epic!

    Peak 911 in my opinion. Small enough to fit on UK roads (992 is as big as my Macan) too big for UK roads. I’ll never sell my ‘GT2RS’. I remember you filming the 911x911s at Silverstone in 2012, I was driving my 911 at that event!

    Would you rather drive a fast car slow or a slow car fast? That's the question that always lingers around ... newer cars are extremely fast and rarely driven anywhere near limits. I think more about 996 being maybe the best in this regard even though myself I have a 924 that can really be driven near the limit without breaking the law and keep the revs at the top,.,. Heal and toe shifts, no power steering or power brakes.. no anti lock brakes either actually..
