      Henry if you want to see Sicily at its most picturesque you should go in spring when everything is green and all the wildflowers are in bloom...and the scent of orange blossoms is ever present.

      @@FelipeQueirolo DriveTribe is dead. Rupert Murdoch backed it because of Clarkson's involvement but it's failing badly. They thought they could just sign Henry and Jethro for six months to get the channel off the ground but it didn't work. Same with evo, the magazine has gone downhill and the YT channel is incredibly flaky these days. It used to have the likes of Henry, Jethro and Chris Harris. now it's basically a channel for promoting and live streaming auctions.

    @paulelverstone8677 5 лет назад +5

    Beautiful. There is always something a little bit special about a hot Jag. Catchpole continues to impress with his enthusiastic storytelling. Informative, enjoyable, entertaining - really, quite a tricky mix. Many cars channels simply can't do it...

  • @dampaul13

    "It's the sort of feeling, like, seeing two little puppies, you just can't help but smile."
    He's right, I smiled.
    Another quality production, Mr. Catchpole. Thank-you.

  • @HawkMillFarm

    So good I watched it twice. Can’t understand all the fuss about who’s presenting Top Gear, with RUclips channels like this Top Gear’s irrelevant.

    Targa Florio is definitely on the first spot on my "Roads to Drive on" list. And what a film this was to capture it in all it's glory.
    Always said it, will say it again, Carfection doesn't make simple RUclips videos. They create art.

    @RaisedByWolves79 5 лет назад +1

    I've seen many of the Carfection videos and always especially enjoy Henry's videos - always informative, enthusiastic yet approachable and never patronising. Would be great to see your team making it onto TV, but I guess TV producers just think that car shows need dumbing down for the masses. So, I'll just be grateful to be part of a small, niche audience who simply just enjoy cars, and watching the videos you make. Please don't change a thing.

    Henry Catchpole, you are by far the best video automotive journalist there is. I don’t feel so much as I am watching a video is that I have let myself become a part of a short film. I really feel like I am getting to experience what you are experiencing. While I feel your McLaren in Scotland video was the best automotive video ever, this one is surely second. Bravo, well done, good on you and thank you.

    I must have been living under a rock, as I’ve only just discovered your channel!
    I chime with many others in saying it feels like the best of TG before they got arsey and thought stupid was funny. Wonderful to hear intelligent commentary expressing a broad education and actually understanding what makes up a car technically, and protagonists who can really drive, whilst also imparting great historic detail.
    More power to you!

The writing, the production value, the location and the great storytelling behind it, the driving and narration by Catchpole... top notch stuff. I've watched the channel change and grow in over the years and I gotta say the quality is certainly up there with Top Gear and The Grand Tour (if not better). Bravo, guys, bravo.
