    Drive-by George here. Driving this car for the outside shots in this film was the stuff dreams are made of. I can confirm it's as good, nay better, than you hope it will be. Driving that car, in that weather, in my favourite bit of Scotland... Err... I mean Hertfordshire has been a defining moment in my car life. Thank you James.

      That dude has an incredible collection of cars, owns a tuning company and he's racing cars almost daily.
      If he says the F12's handling is "unbelievably bad" and "so bad it's dangerous" I believe him.
      He owns one now and is making changes to it in order to get it to handle properly.

    In regards to the settings it’s funny really that the general reaction to driving settings is it must be in the fastest mode incase you miss out on some minute performance gain, but yet its a supercar it’s never going to have an actual “slow” mode it’s always going to be ballistic in all of the settings 😂 quiet mode is the setting to turn off 😉

I recently retired with full pension from a job I didn't particularly like but it allowed me to persue my real passion, singing and DJ'ing. I'm still doing both and it's been about 30 years I've been at it. It allowed me to buy 4 of my "supercars" over the years,,A Toyota MR2 MK 1. I now have a '89 Supercharged model and I couldn't be more happy. You've had quite the life up until now I must say but you've survived and prospered. Kudos to you! You didn't have to share all of that with us but you did and it has given me the kick in the pants to go out there and actually do more in regards to getting more jobs in the music scene(I've been a bit lazy and just doing my "regular" gigs).

    I never realised how much you sacrificed to start your RUclips career, James, and I'm really pleased for you that it's been so successful.
    One of the reasons I subscribe to your channel is that it's all about the cars and not you, which is why I never watch some more established car channels which are the exact opposite, and to my mind, stomach-churning; so, I respect your success and your ability to be able to afford cars like the F12 and showcase them in full detail.

Funny how I just turned 30 and I too have bought my dream car, a 2001 s2000 and I just can’t believe how life turns out even better than we imagine. I have driven this car from Colorado in America, all over Mexico. I have taking my mother on Holiday drives and It’s been amazing and better than I have hoped for.

    Best thing about this channel is that you reasonably well know what different cars are made for, and judge them as such.

If the road you're on is filled with grandma's and roadworks, find and persue an alternate route.

      My favourite bit of the road is actually the bit leading to the filming location, more technical and demanding but hellafun in the right car

      @@JayEmmOnCars That'll be the section from The Blackwater Inn then. You definitely need your wits about you on that bit, with all it's blind crests and dips. I spent many years visiting friends around Milton of Glenogilvy, Charleston and Glamis so I've enjoyed watching you on those roads as well.
      You're doing a grand job, James, and your success is well deserved. :-)

    I remember when I watched Clarkson's piece on Top Gear vividly. I was 9 years old at the time and loved it. The F12 is still my favorite modern V12 Ferrari and it has aged beautifully! Hope to drive or even own one one day.
    Congrats on the car, brilliant spec!

    Shit James, you got me all dewey-eyed!
    I think this is your best offering yet. Magnificent and worthy tribute to Ye Olde Top Gear, Saint Clarkson the Irascible, the glorious F12 and of course fabulous Scotland the Moody - sorry, I mean Hertfordshire the Hilly.
    If this doesn't get a million views, then I'll eat my hat. Now where have I heard that expression before?

    You’re videos over the years show your true love of cars and production skills. You deserve the success and I can’t wait to see more cars for many years to come. No one can review a car like you-your ability to talk so clearly about the car whilst driving without losing track of what you are saying is unique. Keep doing what you do.

Of course I expect many more great videos to come from you and maybe in the future this video will be replaced by another one that you make, but today I found this video not only to be wonderfully filmed, as always, but also heartfelt and inspirational. Congratulations on your new beauty V12 and thank you for sharing your story with us 👊🏻

    No envy what so ever James. Everybody deserves to realise their dreams, especially when overcoming challenging times like you have. I truly enjoy watching your videos, your honesty about the good and the bad of the cars you review and your enthusiasm sharing that with us. A big thank you to you! 👍🏻
    Being a bit of a petrol head myself as well I found myself some years ago in the position to buy my dream car, a BMW Z4, the e89 version and absolutely love it every time I take it for a drive (which is fortunately almost every day), especially with the top down. That feeling with the wind in my hair, the sun in my face and the rumble from the exhaust flushes away everything I might have been bothering about 😊.
