  • Whilst in Biarritz, I find one of France's most important historic race cars, as well as a hidden car collection in the Pyrenees. I also finally get a chance to open up the Turbo S on a mountain road.

    Sam, Im enjoying this series so much. Thanks a lot for all the work you are putting into this trip. This episode is special to me because the part of Spain you have been enjoying so much is Navarra, where I live. And yes, as you have experienced, we have many many beautiful places, and roads, to enjoy. Hope you enjoy the rest of the trip as much, if not more.

    Been really enjoying the trip videos so far Sam. Some places like South Africa have surprised me as I was not aware the car culture was so strong there. Other places like New Zealand have amazed me because of the scenery as well. However, summer in Europe driving around is going to be awesome... Simon, what a guy. One of my favourite parts of this trip is the people like him you are meeting along the way! Still got the US to go aswell! Looking forwards to catching up on the rest of the vids on here and the members area :)

    When you come to the US you need to go to North Carolina and drive the Blue Ridge Parkway. Epic views of the Smokey Mountains. See for miles and miles kind of views. Quaint towns to see also. Get some taste of the south to round out your US experience. Awesome content Sam

    • @quaaludes7898

  • @kakadeporsche4435
    @kakadeporsche4435 5 лет назад

    Sam, one thing that will always make the 911R special and in my opinion better then the GT3 Touring is that it could be ordered with a single mass flywheel on the engine. It makes that unmistakable racing car vibration and the revs spin up faster. The new engine on the new GT3 Touring comes with a double mass flywheel and there isn't the option of a single mass. BIG DIFFERENCE. Loving the Porsche contente by the way !!!!!!

    Owning a French car, I've always wondered how Parisian's acquired their passion for cars and driving. Does it grow from their trees? or from drinking their wine? Thanks Sam for showing me a real Parisian car nut and some of the absolutely epic driving roads they have up in their Pyrenees/Spanish Pyrenees! I'm guessing our good friend Johan Sorensen musn't be a fan of Parisian car culture lol!

    Great vid Sam. However if I may, you said that the Touring is probably better than the R. I think they are very different as the R was based on the RS whereas the Touring is "simply" the GT3. Keep up the great work, am enjoying the vids a lot!
