I had a similar issue with my Ferrari and it wasn’t the battery that caused the issue, but the voltage stabiliser (part number 264097, same for all Ferraris) if you haven’t had that replaced it’s worth checking as it’s the device which sends power to all ECUs. Hope this can help!
Haha I like how in the DDE video today, they ended right before the cold start, then comes Nico a few minutes later to have it on video LOL, well done mate a true ledgend
Nico your story at around 18:00 was touching. I am 56, and never reached a point in my life where I could afford a car like this I am sure this is common with billions of people. Congrats to you and your hard work, that has paid off and changed your life brother.
I was going to say something similar. I'm 55 and never reached this level. Nico, I like your style, but also that you're humble about it and not afraid to show your emotions. Good on you, mate.
Yeah it's crazy your first impressions when you see Nico is he's just some wild crazy guy but then when you see him around his fans you see how I respectful and genuinely nice person that he is and to see him emotional like that was a great thing to see
@@bryce016 Ditto 53yo and feel the exact same way as you and the OP feel about Nico. Him and Mr JWW and DDE & Crew. Mad respect for the lot of them!!! Gonna be a great next 10 days and getting updates from all the different crews!!! 💯👍♥️
I've heard people say you shouldn't buy one unless it's less than 10% of your net worth. If you're worth $10 million, then maybe spending $1 million on a car isn't insane, but if you're only worth $500K, it's probably not the best move.
Exactly. It's not just about the sticker price either. The maintenance, insurance, and depreciation can add up real fast. I've read that owning something like a Ferrari could cost you a few thousand dollars a year just to maintain
That's why I feel like wealth management plays such a big role here. If you're not balancing your investments with your lifestyle purchases, you might be setting yourself up for a shortfall later. You can't put all your money into luxury and forget about long-term goals
Yeah, I agree. You have to ask yourself, 'Am I sacrificing my future for a car now?' Personally, I have a rule where I only buy toys-like cars or vacations-after l've hit certain milestones with my investments
That's smart. I think too many people get caught up in the flashy stuff without thinking about whether they've really secured their financial future. I know for me, I worked with my advisor to set up a plan where my investments generate enough returns before I spend on anything luxury
The “older crowd” who have made accomplishments in life understand exactly what he’s feeling. Good on ya Nico! Hard work and constant grinding will pay off eventually.
@bossman5k767 I still wouldn't cry over it. It's life and lots of hard things happen but I never would cry over them. Toughen up and be happy he got there and stop the tears 🤣 someone needs a hug 😆
Watching you get emotional put me in a new position as a long time viewer. It’s amazing to see what the hard work paying off has meant to you. Genuinely proud. Good shit mate
Ferrari should be ashamed of themselves for not being able to sort the car properly in the first place. I hope the car is sorted before the start of the Gumball. Ferrari should give you a replacement new car if the car is not sorted this time around.
@@costafilh0 They should be ashamed for being arrogant, inflated-ego snobs, for acting like whiney b*tches over their cars, for having zero customer service unless you buy 15 new cars, for making sh*tty, overpriced 1x1 carbon.. But most of all... For making lame, soft, overpriced turbo hybrids. And for putting n/a V12's in SUV's/GTC4's/FF's.. When they coulda used their c02 EPA "credits" to put wicked, N/A v8/v12's in their 488/sf90/296 cars instead 😅
I'm sorry Nico, but you need to get rid of that POS Ferrari! I have been following your adventures with it since new and it just never seems to get fixed. I'll wager any amount you like that you will not be finishing the Gumball driving it. That or you're going to have a heart attack from the stress!
Thank you for sharing how you were feeling instead of faking it - one of the reasons I like DDE and your uncut channel, regardless of the cars. Although, I'm sure part of the stress is actually just making it, showcasing the watch etc - which is what made you successful in the first place. Enjoy every second. Make sure Johnny tries a durian before you leave.
I shed a tear with you Nico. I am reminded that: "Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon... must inevitably come to pass." -Paul J. Meyer You are such a genuine soul, and I must say - YOU deserve it all, Nico. Never Forget where you came from and never, EVER Give Up!!
Lot's of people look back at their life growing up, wishing that somehow they could go back and do it all over again. But right now, 2024, you're living your best life, and it looks sensational! Congratulations on such a great career and family. You have a beautiful wife, cute kids, and you've made some great friends along the way. There's not too many people that can say that they're doing great, and actually mean it. You really seem like a great guy, and there's nothing wrong with wearing your heart on your sleeve, it just shows what kind of person you are, because real men show emotion. Good luck on Gumball, have a great time! Don't forget to pull a few pranks, and get Damon a blonde wig to make him look like his daughter. 😄
I can totally sympathize with your freaked-out frustration as I once had my windshield washer light come on when I was driving through Death Valley this summer! Whoa, bummer for sure!
Nico man, you are such a good guy. You've worked hard for all this and i feel so bad for you and the dramas this car has given you. I hope we see you get to drive your car through the entire event for your sanity alone. Good luck buddy
Nico holds nothing back. As a viewer, it's easy to put myself in his shoes and know what it would feel like if I were there. Good on ya! My favorite video yet.
ferrari dont care.... like for real they GIVE no fuks but its odd that amelia get help with her ferrari for her modded ferrari they just wanted her to paint it back to a ferrari color... but its a race ferrari yet they did fix it for her why doesnt nico get the same service...
Dude!!! I Love You Man!!! Most people will never understand the emotion involved in having an incredible passion for what for what you are doing!! I hope you have an Awesome Adventure!!!
@@emathieu504 people mod cars straight away and they work relatively well. You could have a point but the reason I’m leaning towards my assumption is look at how many times the exact same issue has come up. And look at how many 812s have the Novitec system, they’re pretty much well known for their 812 exhausts… Hard to say they wouldn’t have dealt with this issue with the thousands of cars they’ve done 🤷♂️
All Ferraris are lemons. I've never known a Ferrari to do a track day and not be broken by the end of it. Most just sit in garages not moving because of they do, they fall apart
So many memories returned with your comments at the fuel station, my life during my more driven enthusiastic years was from the expressive words you spoke same emotions. Achieving the end goal was the necessary finish line I needed to achieve before I could find any relaxation from the stress I placed myself under. I easily relate to how you are feeling at this point
Ferrari should be ashamed!!! But I trust a Determined Dutchman to make it beautiful in the end!!! You've got real friends in the end... Bedankt voor het delen van je avonturen!!! ✌️😎👍
Sort tyre pressure then reset tpms in settings and then you'll be all good. Best of luck on gumball, you deserve to enjoy all your hard work and success.
One thing for sure. You will always remember the first car you took to Gumball. Some memories are not worth keeping. Enjoy what you can and make watches out of the Ferrari
Nico, I don’t know what type of relationship you have with your parents. But if they haven’t told you yet, or can’t tell you. They’re proud of you buddy.
Genuinely gutted for you Nico, Ferrari really need to get your car sorted for free once and for all as you had the issue from day one before any mods. Shocking! And the car means so much to you with your sons connection to the vehicle.
Ferrari guys... Fix this car!! OMG how can they not solve a problem like this in one of their cars, a new one! Come on this man deserves everything/ Keep going Nico 💪
I love to see others embrace the heavy moments, Nico. We should all have those feelings when we’ve persevered, taken the risks and made the right moves. I have more and more of those moments since my dad has passed. He would have been proud of how well I’ve taken care of mom, what I’ve accomplished and how I’ve carried on his legacy. Everyday is a new challenge, new stress and new reason to be thankful. It may not be a Ferrari, yet, but I’m getting there!
I'm so excited and happy for you Nico. I have been watching your shenanigans since the beginning learning about watches, and realizing I didn't know a damn thing.. Thank you for sharing this with us all, and for showing your honest self the moment you had a little bit of dust in your eyes. 🤧🥵. You deserve it man and to be there with @DDE and @JWW. I'm living vicariously through you and I have goosebumps from my couch. Have the best super freakin terrific time. Remember every single moment
I get why u wanted to take the 812. But stress factor I would have taken a 911 that wouldn't have broken again. Hope you get it fixed before you start.
Even though ill never be able to afford that MASTERPIECE of a watch, im very much getting into the watch world! With all that being said, the passion you have for them has rubbed off onto me and thats the first thing i try and see is what watch your wearing in each video
dude I love nico literally the best part that came out of dde videos was getting to follow this dude.. genuinely the nicest good hearted dude.. hope to meet u one day nico
Nico, i c that u r an emotional person, i saw it while ur on ur way to the car. Once u got there and saw ur vehicle that emotion really showed. U r down to earth🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Nico you're a great person just remember stressing your life is not good and you got a lot of it. All I can say is relax take a chill pill and enjoy where you're at. That's my dream one of these days and I'm 62 enjoy gumball have a great time and again. Congratulations. I'm longing to your new watch.
Hard not to stress given the fact he's half way across the globe driving a lemon 500k car and let's not forget he's in basically in a shithole, the traffic is batshit and there's not like he can call roadside assistance and tow the vehicle to the nearest Ferrari service.
You really seem to be a solid guy, I'm happy life is going well for you brother. Usually good guys finish last, I'm proof of that brother. I'm a single Dad with piss all for help, but that's like most people in this ruthless piss pot of a world. I'll live through videos like your! Congratulations to your first Gumball!!
You’re a great man. Congratulations. I love your videos your positivity is inspiring and has got me through the worst past three months of my life. I look forward to your videos. It takes me to a happier place. Thank you for that.
I promised them a culture shock. I also advised others to install extra fans and be prepared to turn your heater on its highest setting to prevent overheating. Wow, all the emotion from seeing your first Gumball in 2016 to participating in one 8 years later, to the difficulty of traveling in that traffic and losing the convoy to the thrill of making it through the gauntlet to the section with people behind barriers, and then for the car to have system failure after system failure. It's one Hell of a video, thanks for sharing Nico. See you in Los Angeles sometime.
Italian electronics. The more complicated these cars get the more faults they are having. Definitely a voltage issue I’d say though. At least you can take the cats off again.
Nico I an genuinely touched by the emotional rollercoaster your going through in this video send all the positivity to you that I can as you are such a genuine person 💙
Fuck Ferrari. How can they allow this to continue. Gutted for you Nico. The reason these amazing achievements mean so much to you is because you are real. You and only you have made them happen through hard work. For Ferrari to take that for granted is truly unfair. They are used to dealing with people who have no concept of money. Yet that car represents your blood sweat and tears, and I'm honestly gutted for you. All I can hope is that someone, somewhere at Ferrari wakes the fuck up and takes ownership for your issues and gets them resolved. Love you bud. ❤
@@spiritwolf391also redlined it in the warehouse after…hey? How many months was it since he saw the car again? I don’t think he mentioned it 1000 times. It feels like a car version of Willy Wonka. The oompa lumpss should come out and sing when the car died
There was barely any rev bombs from the car. Not only that but the time between being driven has no effect to whether revs will damage anything.. Any performance car should be able to take the abuse. That's what you pay the premium price for. Even cars a quarter of the price take abuse and the other 812 had no issues. Smells like jealousy
@@RektNick I mean you and I have had different experiences with exotics. Sometimes I look at my dash funny and the warning lights come on. LOL. Actually you know what you take your exotic out and I'll go get a stock Civic let's sit next to each other at a traffic light and rev our engines until one of our cars breaks. Spoiler alert I will drive my Civic 200k more miles and you will be towing your exotic... 😛
Big up to Nico, 8 years from nothing to your dream on gum ball and not only just a rally member, a unique part of gumballs history with the watch release. That lives on forever. Well done mate.when your felling stressed Nico take a minute to think how you felt that day with nothing. Take a breathe. You’ll work it out, look how far you’ve come.
The lack of fuel is due to the shipping, you can’t ship a car full of fuel. So yes, for a car that has been on a boat for 3 months, it started and there’s no damage meaning the car is good.
@@nathleaves9001 that’s all well and good but re-watch the interaction. Heavy implications from them and misunderstanding from Nico. He paid for them to do their job, maybe Ferrari would be cool with your assessment of the situation, but Nico and most of us wouldn’t be…
@@microchrist6122 well I’m talking about their assessment of the car as it sat there in the storage on the day, on ground in Vietnam. I’m going to assume if he’s had the cats refitted in the exhaust then Ferrari would have checked the car over at a service centre prior to it being shipped. I’m simply just saying that it’s not unusual or wrong that a car shipped for that amount of time (with the battery disconnected as per shipping practices) would arrive with a tps warning and a low tank of fuel.
@@MuhammadKharismawan TAG Heuer have been sponsoring motorsport since 1985, there have been tie-ins with manufacturers going back that far as well, he’s not doing anything new
I must admit to feeling a bit sorry for Nico's missus. She never seems to get to share any of Nico's travels or adventures. She may be completely okay with the situation, but I'd be slightly miffed if my partner was constantly travelling in the lap of luxury while I sat at home with the kids. Just saying, like.
You can really see what this means for Nico, the way he got emotional after getting the Ferrari back! It’s such a shame that he’s still got issues with the car. Hopefully the techs at Ferrari Vietnam can help further and get him past the start line!!
@@Youthubathe problems with that car have 3/5ths of FK ALL to do with the Novitec mods. Electrical issues were there BEFORE the mods, Ferrari need to nut up & fix it once & for all & lose their dismissive arrogance in the process
@@FAAAARK The hell is wrong with you man, Calm down. These things happen at times besides when the svj breakdown in London I don't see anybody bashing on Lamborghini. So taking your frustration out on Ferrari is not going to help situation. This is gumball after all shit like this always happen plus this is why gumball is always entertaining, to see who can survive till the end
18.00 .. bro had a lump in my throat..really humble guy, good luck to you and your beautiful young family.. I started a new business in covid after being made redundant. In our 5th year now, good days bad days but I love it. not sure it will ever reach your levels but hey I'm giving it a go .. as you would say lets ******* have it. god bless 💪
Nico you are a special person you have a huge heart and your emotions really touch the people you are speaking to so just keep on being you brother cheers mate
What i love about Nico is how he's so humble but an absolute lad. Your living my dream, ill see you on a gumball one day!!!! Keep up the killer content
Thanks for sharing the ride with you into GUMBALL...can't wait to see more adventurous vlogs every day. Please enjoy the different ethnic food etc...once in a life time for sure!!!
This is absolutely nuts, I feel so much for you Nico. Ferrari folks need to move their a**es and come fix it immediately. Unacceptable. So bad for the brand and most importantly for your experience. Keep us posted and crossing fingers for a resolution soon so you can enjoy the race!
Nico, your resolve is being tested but it will only make you stronger ! How you respond to adversity is the challenge, and I am 100% confident you will not only succeed but you will reach even greater heights! Trust me on this one mate 😉
I lived in Vietnam for about 3 years and loved it, so many beautiful places to see, some of the best beaches in the world. Relax and enjoy the journey ❤😊
I had a similar issue with my Ferrari and it wasn’t the battery that caused the issue, but the voltage stabiliser (part number 264097, same for all Ferraris) if you haven’t had that replaced it’s worth checking as it’s the device which sends power to all ECUs. Hope this can help!

That's my dream one of these days and I'm 62 enjoy gumball have a great time and again. Congratulations.
I'm longing to your new watch.
Hard not to stress given the fact he's half way across the globe driving a lemon 500k car and let's not forget he's in basically in a shithole, the traffic is batshit and there's not like he can call roadside assistance and tow the vehicle to the nearest Ferrari service.
@@claudiugardelli6302 love you nico
Taking a car with this many issues on that kind of trip is nuts.
You’re such a great example to follow Nico! I’m glad I came across with your channel one day
Got blue balled at the end of the dde vid cuz they didn't know it would start, but then I go straight to nikos channel and see it runs 😂
If you listen carefully at the end of the dde video you can hear that famous lamborghini V12 starter nose 😅
Watch the end of this video. Doesn't run anymore!
@paulm918 its dde will find some sort of way to fix it or find someone 🤣 always some drama
You really seem to be a solid guy, I'm happy life is going well for you brother. Usually good guys finish last, I'm proof of that brother. I'm a single Dad with piss all for help, but that's like most people in this ruthless piss pot of a world. I'll live through videos like your! Congratulations to your first Gumball!!
I fell bad for you Nico. You're genuinely getting screwed by a lemon.
You’re a great man. Congratulations. I love your videos your positivity is inspiring and has got me through the worst past three months of my life. I look forward to your videos. It takes me to a happier place. Thank you for that.
Give the Ferrari a WhistlinDiesel special. Buy a Lambo.
I promised them a culture shock. I also advised others to install extra fans and be prepared to turn your heater on its highest setting to prevent overheating. Wow, all the emotion from seeing your first Gumball in 2016 to participating in one 8 years later, to the difficulty of traveling in that traffic and losing the convoy to the thrill of making it through the gauntlet to the section with people behind barriers, and then for the car to have system failure after system failure. It's one Hell of a video, thanks for sharing Nico. See you in Los Angeles sometime.
Italian electronics. The more complicated these cars get the more faults they are having. Definitely a voltage issue I’d say though. At least you can take the cats off again.
Just posted the same - can you imagine how many pins/connectores there are in that thing? Only takes one bad contact.
Nico I an genuinely touched by the emotional rollercoaster your going through in this video send all the positivity to you that I can as you are such a genuine person 💙
Car won't be fixable in the short term so two options now: keep crying or rent a scooter and put a Gumboll livery on it.
Fuck Ferrari. How can they allow this to continue. Gutted for you Nico. The reason these amazing achievements mean so much to you is because you are real. You and only you have made them happen through hard work. For Ferrari to take that for granted is truly unfair. They are used to dealing with people who have no concept of money. Yet that car represents your blood sweat and tears, and I'm honestly gutted for you.
All I can hope is that someone, somewhere at Ferrari wakes the fuck up and takes ownership for your issues and gets them resolved.
Love you bud. ❤
Lets go Nico. Can you recommend a good watch for under $1000 AUD?
Yes. For us Australians🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Casio Duro in blue
Srpl13
For a smart guy he’s dumb as shit
@@Q-nt-Tf dont you ever dare say a combination of quartz and a hype brand ever make a good watch again
Love the passion Nico, love the emotional connection to the car and the rally. Good on you brother!
Bro is out on a hot day sitting still and hitting the rev limiter like 17 times. Dude is like "why am I having all these issues?".
I was thinking same thing that Ferrari is like your shocking it in the ass. And the horse got tired of the overload shock. What a lemon
@@spiritwolf391also redlined it in the warehouse after…hey? How many months was it since he saw the car again? I don’t think he mentioned it 1000 times. It feels like a car version of Willy Wonka. The oompa lumpss should come out and sing when the car died
There was barely any rev bombs from the car. Not only that but the time between being driven has no effect to whether revs will damage anything.. Any performance car should be able to take the abuse. That's what you pay the premium price for. Even cars a quarter of the price take abuse and the other 812 had no issues. Smells like jealousy
@@RektNick I mean you and I have had different experiences with exotics. Sometimes I look at my dash funny and the warning lights come on. LOL. Actually you know what you take your exotic out and I'll go get a stock Civic let's sit next to each other at a traffic light and rev our engines until one of our cars breaks. Spoiler alert I will drive my Civic 200k more miles and you will be towing your exotic... 😛
Happy for you bro, appreciate how humble you are and take a minute to reflect how far you have come, keep up with the good work
Thats a helluva lot of 1st world problems in one Vid........🙂
Big up to Nico, 8 years from nothing to your dream on gum ball and not only just a rally member, a unique part of gumballs history with the watch release. That lives on forever. Well done mate.when your felling stressed Nico take a minute to think how you felt that day with nothing. Take a breathe. You’ll work it out, look how far you’ve come.
So ferrari techs checked car ? No fuel in ,tyre warning light .... good check eh
😂 same , I saw the “Ferrari Techs” and starting laughing… they made sure to run his card before they left though 🤦♂️
The lack of fuel is due to the shipping, you can’t ship a car full of fuel. So yes, for a car that has been on a boat for 3 months, it started and there’s no damage meaning the car is good.
I think you're only allowed 1/8th of a tank due to shipping.
@@nathleaves9001 that’s all well and good but re-watch the interaction. Heavy implications from them and misunderstanding from Nico. He paid for them to do their job, maybe Ferrari would be cool with your assessment of the situation, but Nico and most of us wouldn’t be…
@@microchrist6122 well I’m talking about their assessment of the car as it sat there in the storage on the day, on ground in Vietnam. I’m going to assume if he’s had the cats refitted in the exhaust then Ferrari would have checked the car over at a service centre prior to it being shipped. I’m simply just saying that it’s not unusual or wrong that a car shipped for that amount of time (with the battery disconnected as per shipping practices) would arrive with a tps warning and a low tank of fuel.
So happy for you dude! Great story !!!! You deserve every bit of happiness!!!
Congrats on gumball and the watch ⌚ always showing support my Irish brother from another love the videos much respect your boy Lucci Mr RUclips 🔐💪
Go talk to steven quit riding ddes fam
My biggest problem with my ferrari is the fact it doesnt exist.. :(
Nico you deserve all the success in the World. You are a great man and we are all very proud of you mate. Keep inspiring us...... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Has Nico never heard of F1 and the partnerships with watch brands going back decades?
Yeah I was thinking like Tag Heuer etc, maybe he means in the last 10 years or so 🤷♂️
Wait until he hears about Steve McQueen - mind blown 😂
There was a automotive watches collaboration since the 60s
Did you not hear what he said, it's all the commercial part of it he's talking about. Each hobby like to keep to themselves.
@@MuhammadKharismawan TAG Heuer have been sponsoring motorsport since 1985, there have been tie-ins with manufacturers going back that far as well, he’s not doing anything new
You deserve it NICO. It's amazing on how you made it to gumball you actually have a great heart and your fans love you. ❤️
I feel like this is what Leclerc feels every time he gets into that car
Congratulations Niko love your energy and enthusiasm
I must admit to feeling a bit sorry for Nico's missus. She never seems to get to share any of Nico's travels or adventures. She may be completely okay with the situation, but I'd be slightly miffed if my partner was constantly travelling in the lap of luxury while I sat at home with the kids. Just saying, like.
You can really see what this means for Nico, the way he got emotional after getting the Ferrari back! It’s such a shame that he’s still got issues with the car. Hopefully the techs at Ferrari Vietnam can help further and get him past the start line!!
You're amazing Nico! Thank you for sharing your journey on Gumball Vietnam 3000 Rally!!!
Ferrari needs to get someone out to fix asap!!! Bandaid fixes aren’t helping their brand image at the moment.
it's not ferrarri's fault if he modified the car with incompatible novitec stuff. cars are more than engines nowadays. lots of electronics
@@Youthuba do you remember him saying this was happening before that install? Stooooopid
@@Youthubathe problems with that car have 3/5ths of FK ALL to do with the Novitec mods.
Electrical issues were there BEFORE the mods, Ferrari need to nut up & fix it once & for all & lose their dismissive arrogance in the process
@@FAAAARK The hell is wrong with you man, Calm down. These things happen at times besides when the svj breakdown in London I don't see anybody bashing on Lamborghini. So taking your frustration out on Ferrari is not going to help situation.
This is gumball after all shit like this always happen plus this is why gumball is always entertaining, to see who can survive till the end
18.00 .. bro had a lump in my throat..really humble guy, good luck to you and your beautiful young family.. I started a new business in covid after being made redundant. In our 5th year now, good days bad days but I love it. not sure it will ever reach your levels but hey I'm giving it a go .. as you would say lets ******* have it. god bless 💪
you can honk nico! if you want the scooters to stay out of your way just honk....
Nico you are a special person you have a huge heart and your emotions really touch the people you are speaking to so just keep on being you brother cheers mate
Nico spoiled DDE Part 2😂😂
What i love about Nico is how he's so humble but an absolute lad. Your living my dream, ill see you on a gumball one day!!!! Keep up the killer content
Nico my brother, you need more sleep, less blow and everything will be better
Nico you absolutely deserve every bit of this!!
Absolutely love you Nico!! Such a humble guy.. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to meet you in Person..
Thanks for sharing the ride with you into GUMBALL...can't wait to see more adventurous vlogs every day. Please enjoy the different ethnic food etc...once in a life time for sure!!!
Lovely to see your emotions when picking up your 812GTS - you are so worth it. Enjoy the ride!
This is absolutely nuts, I feel so much for you Nico. Ferrari folks need to move their a**es and come fix it immediately. Unacceptable. So bad for the brand and most importantly for your experience. Keep us posted and crossing fingers for a resolution soon so you can enjoy the race!
i felt your stress level so sorry for you Niko, braking down agian! hope you sort it out and finish the gumball! bets of luck
Thank you for sharing your story! Your humility shows what kind of a person you truly are.
What a beautiful moment as they leave the storage facility. Well done Nico!
Nico, your resolve is being tested but it will only make you stronger ! How you respond to adversity is the challenge, and I am 100% confident you will not only succeed but you will reach even greater heights! Trust me on this one mate 😉
Nico, what a LEGEND you are!
Hope all those car issues got sorted out before the start of the rally
100% Genuine guy, you deserve it all my friend 👍👍👍
I lived in Vietnam for about 3 years and loved it, so many beautiful places to see, some of the best beaches in the world. Relax and enjoy the journey ❤😊
congrats Nico on all of your success, love your passion!!
Best video with raw emotion. Gives me motivation to keep on going and keep dreaming that I can do it aswell 🙌🏾
Man so proud of you Nico!!! What a true heart and a legend!! 🌟
