If someone says a car is just to get you from A to B and nothing else matters, show them this video. These two cars and this road just prove what cars should be all about.
Take a step back every now and then, Sam. Together with Vicky. Think of all the stunning things you encounter on a trip like this. The scenery, the people, the food. Regardless of the content you can make. What..a...trip! Envious, not jealous. :) One day... I hope to do a trip that's every so slightly similar to this one. Maybe not all in one year, but we will see. To be able to follow you is epic and this content just deserves more views and appreciation.
You're best video ever Sam. The rawness of your child hood excitement coming through on camera made us all feel.like we were riding with you.... I felt like your best mate experiencing some crazy for the first time.... Totally got it. I'm.from Nz but live in Sydney.... Every time I go back I love driving the roads. There is something therapeutic about nz roads. The Drive the World tour will he the best thing for your channel and for is long time subscribers.... Hats off to good sir.
Only just catching up on this series. My mother lives about 10 minutes from that piece of road and my wife and I were married there. I still keep an S1 Elise down at my mother's place pretty much for the express purpose of driving that road when I'm down there. I also know the owner (he's got plenty more nice toys!) and have done a couple of trackdays where he's had some of them out to play. Brilliant video, so well put together. Newly subscribed!
This has been my favorite video you have done so far. This is amazing! No one puts together music and car B-roll better than you, perfectly synchronized.
GOOSEBUMPS! such a great video Sam, lovely road, amazing cars and your reaction is absolutely understandable! Please keep posting this kind of epic contents! ;)
Great to see you here in NZ Sam. If you thought that road was epic you need to try the road over the crown range between Queenstown and Wanaka in Central Otago South Island.
Brilliant Sam, one of your best. You’ve discovered why I’ve been back there every second year for the past decade. The roads there are so much more enjoyable than in Oz and they are everywhere. I don’t know how far south in the South Island you are going but if you get to Queenstown, as someone posted before, go via Wanaka and the Crown Range Road. It’s a beaut. Then there’s the road out to Glenorchy from Queenstown. Spectacular alpine lake scenery and a road that follows the lake edge. One of the best.
Best video so far. Only driving and two great cars. The first time we could feel your emotions while driving. More of this for the rest of the tour, please!
Just watched your three most recent videos back to back. Been following you for years and the videos just get better. I love cars but for me Porsche will always be my favourite brand. Love the ninja moves at the end.
Wow! Epic drive out to Waimarama, Hawkes Bay with Bare Island in the distance. Thanks for visiting my home town of Hastings. Glad you enjoyed it & what a beautiful day you had.
This was a true delight. The visuals were superb but I think it’s important to point out how good the sound capture was too. It sounded as good as it looked. Absolutely wonderful!
Sam I cant explain to you enough how informing and exhilerating your videos are... you make them in such a way that i feel like im the one in the drivers seat. amazing opportunity, loved seeing you so excited about the 918
You conveyed perfectly how I would feel if I got to drive these cars back-to-back, but I'd also splooge my pants. Can't imagine how any car enthusiast could thumbs-down this video.
Sam your content continues to blow me away!! I’ve been following your channel since the beginning and you never cease to put a smile on my face mate. Your drive the world content has been just face plant mind blowing and I can’t get enough. Keep up the amazing work!!
It has been fun to see how years have changed Sam's attitude towards porsches 😁 I guess you just can't argue that porches are just so well made and sophisticated. Makes sense that people are buying a lot of these 👍🏻
This has to be one of your top 5 videos ever, Sam. It's up there with your sunrise drive up Tenerife. And also with Mr JWW's drive of the 675LT in Tenerife where he went bonkers.
I just loved how happy and excited you were in this. The whole travelling the world experience is also a nice refresher. All in all great content because i've just about had enough of schilling Schmee.
Just got home to see this...absolutely your best yet Sam, blooming well done. Felt all of the spirit that is " I am Petrolhead.". I raise a Steinlager to you. Have fun
I realise not all the vids can be like this as you're driving round the fricking world (still sounds insane) but the intro to this was on point, then the rest, what a pair of cars! What a video! Awesome editing Sam. Deffo in your top ten vids maybe top 5 or higher.. Enjoy yourselves and I'm looking forward to the rest of the videos be they toursity or otherwise..
This is exactly what I was hoping for from Drive the World. Astonishing cars, amazing scenery, fantastic roads and on the button commentary. Keep this up Sam and I'll have to start consulting a thesaurus for more superlatives. New Zealand does look rather special.
Loving this series Sam. I discovered it a bit late but good work mate. Your videos are more interesting and entertaining than the other two London car spotters on RUclips who started around the same time.
I would react the exact same way Sam.....screaming like s little girl in joy!😎😎😎👍👍👍 I loved the shots from the back of the 918.....reminds me of a fighter jet! Love that!
Funny that I was going to type the EXACT SAME as Jordan G below. Your best video yet, and your first impression with the 918 was fantastic, as well as your enthusiasm. Sometimes, the car can do enough talking for everyone, and today's video showed that. Well done!
Fantastic man. Can we take a minute to appreciate all the extra editing that intro has. Episodes of these and The Grand Tour have the same priority on my list of shows. Sam's the shit.
Gotta be honest.....this is the greatest video you have ever made!!!! (even better than the run up a volcano in Tenerife with Seb in the Macs) Thank you Sam 😀👍
This is why I love your videos , Sam. Your emotions are so raw , when you get carried away, that we feel much more involved. What a great day it must have been. 😁
![My First Time Driving A LaFerrari! [Best Surprise Ever] | Eᴘ44: Sᴘᴀɪɴ](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3ktgGp-ueWw/mqdefault.jpg)
Honestly one of the best videos you have ever made!!! Mad respect to the owner! Cheers for the insane video sam 👌🏻
Porsche goals, silver looks classy Sam 👌🏼 amazing opportunity!!!
That 918 looks sooooooo good 👍
Yep, It makes you realize how ugly his wrap is😂

Probably the best video of this series so far!

Absolutely loving #drivetheworld!!! Your content is awesome Sam keep up the good work! Shame you couldn’t stop by Canberra on your way to Melbourne.

What a underrated video
GOOSEBUMPS! such a great video Sam, lovely road, amazing cars and your reaction is absolutely understandable! Please keep posting this kind of epic contents! ;)
Good to see this video again, especially after watching the DTW summary. The owner of these cars is absolutely amazing for letting us see these cars
2:18 You Got A Phone Call There Sam! Probably The Owner Wants His 911 Back 😂😂
radar detector?
Think it was a radar detector
Great to see you here in NZ Sam. If you thought that road was epic you need to try the road over the crown range between Queenstown and Wanaka in Central Otago South Island.
yeah, that road is awesome, what about Milford though? that would be cool
Let’s trigger the algorithm on this video that it gets appreciated as it should be!!!!
I love New Zealand and I love this video! Great content Sam!
Best soundtrack of any video on RUclips. 911R and 918 sound amazing. My favourite video of yours ever Sam. Keep up the awesome content.
918 Syder is the car.
That road, sky, seaside landscape....Perfection.
HOW DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 88k VIEWS!?!?!?
This is one of my favourite stg video mate. Been coming back to it 5 years later. Thank you for making it Sam 👍🏼
Still just as good coming back to this video, a year later! Well done, Sam 👍

Probably the best video of the series. Already seen this video a few times. I’m a Nz native living in The US. Makes me wana move back home!
The excitement is contagious. I love it
Best video so far. Only driving and two great cars. The first time we could feel your emotions while driving. More of this for the rest of the tour, please!
Your passion radiates out of this screen! WE SHARE YOUR EXCITEMENT!
Just watched your three most recent videos back to back. Been following you for years and the videos just get better. I love cars but for me Porsche will always be my favourite brand. Love the ninja moves at the end.
You outdid yourself Samuel.......👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 YOU! OUTDID! YOUR! SELF! THIS WAS A FABULOUS VIDEO. Well done my dude!
Editing is becoming insane!
I had goosebumps just listening that 918 motor and your reactions. What an epic car to the drive must be.
this channel is so underrated, the videos are actually golden. Great quality and great content
So glad I came back to watch this one again at the end of DTW. It definitely stirs up the automotive soul. Thanks for bringing us along Sam.
Wow! Epic drive out to Waimarama, Hawkes Bay with Bare Island in the distance. Thanks for visiting my home town of Hastings. Glad you enjoyed it & what a beautiful day you had.
Love the 918, it looks gorgeous in the sunlight.
Hey Sam so glad you love New Zealand I love here and feel so lucky to! Enjoy our beautiful country and our car enthusiasts!! Xx
This was a true delight. The visuals were superb but I think it’s important to point out how good the sound capture was too. It sounded as good as it looked. Absolutely wonderful!

Ok, South Island and head to Westport. Try the Deniston road (hill climb) - amazing
Go on Sam, living the dream, get this all right & your RTW trip could be singularly the best motoring content ever on RUclips
I love how you love NZ. I've been there four months and the country is so fantastic. Enjoy it to the most!
It has been fun to see how years have changed Sam's attitude towards porsches 😁 I guess you just can't argue that porches are just so well made and sophisticated. Makes sense that people are buying a lot of these 👍🏻
And I love that Sam and also mr jww are actually driving these cars as they should be driven.
There is not enough room in a Porsche. Ok for small and Japanese people.
Two wonderful and beautiful cars in great colours.
Christopher Bell the color suits with the cars 👍
Fantastic stuff Sam. I gave this a watch after watching your DTW wrap up video, glad you suggested it! Your storytelling has come a long way.
What a pleasurable video
918 in this spec is still the most beautiful and perfect car produced in the last few decades!
I‘m still watching it once in a while. Great video. I‘m loving your Content. Thank you Sam for all of your Videos.
Great video Sam. This is what I expect from your videos.
Truly enjoy your passion for the cars.
Never lose that!
Great video.
This has to be one of your top 5 videos ever, Sam. It's up there with your sunrise drive up Tenerife. And also with Mr JWW's drive of the 675LT in Tenerife where he went bonkers.
I just loved how happy and excited you were in this. The whole travelling the world experience is also a nice refresher. All in all great content because i've just about had enough of schilling Schmee.
This the best video experience of both these cars I've seen. That first acceleration in 918 was unreal, top work.
Just got home to see this...absolutely your best yet Sam, blooming well done. Felt all of the spirit that is " I am Petrolhead.". I raise a Steinlager to you. Have fun
Absolutely awesome. This channel deserves much more views, at least 200k per video. Really great content and you're a cool guy!

the best video of the year so far.... #fortheloveofporsche

Thank you so much for this amazing video! The 918 is still my favourite roadcar of all times!
Loving this series Sam. I discovered it a bit late but good work mate. Your videos are more interesting and entertaining than the other two London car spotters on RUclips who started around the same time.

Next level content Sam! Two of the greatest cars of this decade!
Some of the opportunities you are given are phenomenal, one of thee’ if not the best video you have ever posted 👌.

What a lovely surprise with 2 top Porsches around the roads of New Zealand! 😊👍
Could watch these videos 24/7 and a fast growing Porsche Fan !!
I really enjoy each video of #DriveTheWorld. The content is insane !
This is why I love your videos , Sam. Your emotions are so raw , when you get carried away, that we feel much more involved. What a great day it must have been. 😁
Best video of the trip so far and by far
