  • Whilst in Kansas, I meet up with car collector Brian Pettey. Brian's collection is one of the most incredible I have ever seen and after a tour of the entire garage, he let me choose any two of his cars to take for a drive. I chose his Super Performance Ford GT40 recreation and his 2018 Ford GT.

    That GT40 continuation is terrific. You're right about the complexity the drivers of those days faced and had to manage.

      The 2017 Mustang GT350R ? That is my dream car, such a good looking, balanced performing/ handling, sounding car. It's all manual, it can revs up to 8250 RPM, it's naturally aspirated 5.2L Flatplane V8 "VooDoo" engine, it's the REAL REAL DEAL IDEAL driver mans car. There is no other car in the world that i could compare to it terms of the feel you get when just experiencing (listening, touching, hearing, looking, feeling etc.) this car overall. i don't care what anyone says it's just way too good and unique.

    Dear Sam,
    In your video you said that your viewers would be more interested in the latest GT but, for me, the continuation GT40 was so much more exciting, even from the couch 😉 So far, throughout Drive the World, the classics and modern classics were the most exciting to watch! Keep it going. Your content is stunning and, for me, the most beautifully produced car content on RUclips.

    Yes Sam your US tour is better than Tim's. But you were right, 17 six hour videos for sure!!! You need to get acquainted with older cars. That Cortina would surely cause a "code brown". You picked the right way to start this, with that Terlingua Boss 302 Mustang & matching hauler. Porches & Mustangs, GARAGE GOALS !!!
