    Fezza, I've been watching your channel and you're by far my favorite youtubers of all time. Simple, straight to the point, no flashy video editing etc. You're like the prototype of what youtube was made for. Anyway, I wanted to say that your 360? My father bought it. We live in Eastern Europe and it was always his dream since a child (just like EVERY child) to own a Ferrari and he made it happen. He's a fully self-made man. The car is awesome. I've had a few spins with it and I enjoy every second of it. Most people don't understand that you don't have to speed with a Ferrari to enjoy driving with it. Your video about "daily driving a Ferrari" is spot-on. I've been wanting to write a comment under your video for a while to let you know that my papa now owns your previous car, but what made me do it now is what you said in this video: you're fascinated by North Korea. I am not a socialist or a communist by any means (I'm more right of the spectrum) but I have been fascinated by North Korea for YEARS. I've read almost every wikipedia article, watched every "documentary" etc there is about North Korea. It's just surreal & I love it! Not the way people live there (and the conditions), it's just the whole utopia of a country like that existing on this planet in the year 2020. Anyway, love your videos, love your channel and I hope everything is good with you and your family! Keep on giving us these awesome videos! LOVE them! Stay safe Fezza! :)

      Thanks for the lovely message and glad you like the videos! So happy you guys are enjoying the car. I loved it so much and the sound that car makes....there's nothing like it! It sounds like it's gone to a good home which makes me very happy. Send me a photo when you can, my email is justinmanilva@gmail.com.
      Yes, DPRK....exactly what you said. The fact that a country like that can exist today is incomprehensible and fascinating at the same time. I have read many books about the country and from people that have escaped. I do find it very interesting and intriguing.
      Anyway, so happy your dad is enjoying the car. It was my first Ferrari, I worked so hard to be able to buy it and it will always have a very special place in my heart.
      Hope you're all safe and well and thanks for watching the videos.
      Cheers, Justin

      Ours starts at midnight, but in my household we've been self-isolating as much as possible for 2 weeks already. In our country millions of people are very vulnerable and just don't have the resources to be prepared in any meaningful way. Not that anybody was prepared for this medically or economically, , but I'm talking about people who buy 2 tomatoes, an onion, a single fruit, maybe 2 sweeties and half a loaf of bread on their way home from a day's work. No electricity, no gas, no proper sanitation, 1 tap per 50 people.

      @@RickP2012 Franco started ruling after wining a civil war. People were exhausted and had no interest in backing up a military regime, so one of the first things he did was significantly increasing the state's budget on leisure time activities: tens of thousands of theater plays were written, football was widely popularized, multiple tradicional religious festivities were brought back, and many more regional and pagan through the recognition of cultural and historical differences between provinces (wich led to the rebirth of most of the separatist sentiments from wich we suffer today).
      The fact that there was censorship doesn't mean there was a continuos state of emergency like a Mediterranean North Korea. It is impossible to kill our culture of love for the street and entertainment, wich Franco was smart enough to exploite, leading to him being the only European dictator to die of old age.

Empty shelves, people fighting over stuff, just seeing people actually at their worst. I do hope everyone realizes there is no shortages of food, water all those necessities are available. No need to hoard tons of stuff so no one else can get things for their families. Thanks for your update Justin...God Speed Everyone.

    Hi great video! I'm from Scotland, currently living in Sevilla teaching English. We have to teach our classes online now, via Skype and Google Classrooms, which isn't ideal, but obviously we have to deal with the situation we're in.
    I miss the freedom of being able to out for a walk, or the social aspect of being able to go for a coffee in the morning, or for a few beers and tapas with friends on a Friday or Saturday night, and sit on the terrace.
    How long do you think the lockdown is going to last? i.e how long until bars, restaurants will open again, and people can move freely on the street. Pedro Sánchez said 2 weeks, but I've heard it's going to be much longer; it could up to a month or longer. The "Ayuntamiento de Sevilla" have cancelled "Semana Santa in April". It's only been a week, but it feels like a month. I understand it's totally necessary to prevent the virus spreading, but from a psychological perspective being stuck in my flat every day is like being in jail, especially Friday, Saturday, and Sunday when I'd normally be out and about.
