What's Next For My 'Cheap' 911? [996 40th Anniversary]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2021
- I jump in my 996 911 40th Anniversary and head to the UK's 'best beach', Camber Sands in Sussex.
I've owned my 996 for nearly 9 months now but spent very little time behind the wheel. With my hunt for an F-Type well and truly on, do I keep the 911 or get rid of it now?

Film whatever your heart says Sam. There’s already plenty channels doing “what the viewers want” but your enthusiastic adventures is what we enjoy!
agreed
Exactly
Beautifully put! Exactly what I was thinking but couldn't think of the words.
Thanks dude!
Agreed. Started with Drive the world, am still watching whatever is coming. Do what you want, that is what counts.
Don't know if those are the types of videos that do the big numbers, but the travel vlog aspect and action around your own cars have always been the two things that always draw me to your videos. There are plenty of those who show new and loud cars, but only few that might take us on a coffee shop tour of the UK.
Haha. Coffee shops for the win
Yes! The best type of content
100%!!!!
So true!
Mr. Gauja totally agree. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think the only reason the travel stuff doesn't bring in the big numbers is because it's content for a different audience than the one Sam's built up. So it might take a little while for those other viewers to find Sam's channel.
The 12 yr olds want noise and speed, and I love that too, but for those of us with an actual driving licence cars are also about getting you to interesting places. That's the whole point of being able to escape and explore and not have to stick to a train or bus route. It's all part of the experience and finding great roads and then a nice place for a coffee or beautiful hotel to rest.
I loved the fairly recent Scotland vlog and I still remember Portofino from a few years back. Just a gorgeous vlog that was (just would've liked to see a little more driving, I think this video got the balance perfectly).
Love what's you're doing Sam, road trips with your cars, with a splash of lifestyle and new car /classic car reviews every once in a while is perfect!! Keep on the good work 🙏
Yeah that is what makes this channel different to others
Noted! Will keep trying my best
Agreed. One of the reasons I love this channel, so different compared to other channels, yet entirely what i'm looking for
That ring didn't go unnoticed Sam! Congrats on getting engaged to your 996. She's a keeper😂
First thing I saw. After what Vicki put up with, she deserves 😂 JK
Happy for them, for the three of them
I seen that and thought hmm really??
Yeah they already got married! Was on sams insta
@@gabrielgabes5074 one girl, many cars. It’s the Jay Leno way
@@timothysmith7478 that’s the life
The reason why I watch you is because you blend cars in with more lifestyle-oriented content. Jazz beats, coffee shops, quaint villages and cinematic shots are why I prefer you over the other guys. You've forged a niche so I say more of it if that's the direction in which you're wanting to go.
Exactly! Don’t make what the internet wants, keep giving them your style and more and more will discover it!
totally agree
Morning drives in the 996 are unmatched :)
Such a great morning
All of the above Sam, all of the above... Your videos are an extension of you, make videos of what you like. Travel, New Cars, Your Cars, Old Cars, Coffee Shops, Food, The UK, the more enthusiastic you are the better the videos. I live through your enjoyment.
Thank you! Really appreciate it
100% Agree, it’s refreshing because you are just enjoying life!
Loved the intro, must have took a lot of messing about but totally worth it for the end result, really set the scene
Very Casey Neistat-esque.
More of this to come then
Agreed, totally! Loving the style, calm start to a ‘story’. Always great content!
You are a rare breed of viewer haha.
The automotive TH-cam scene has been in a bit of a lull of late. Your content however has been increasingly refreshing. One of the few channels that have soul. Loving the content Sam
Really appreciate that. Will keep trying my best
We would love a combination of cars, road trips, coffee, food, beaches, mountains, camping anything
Personally love this type of content, think you may have inspired a Saturday morning drive out of my own
I loved the "drive the world" lifestyle view of it. You are enthusiastic and passion about what you do, which shows in the content you put out there. Road trips, car nerdery, lifestyle, a touch of Vicky, food/coffe. Just things that makes you really relatable and human - If you know what I mean. Keep it up. Soon there will be normal times where you can challenge you with new things :)
Timeout Magazine have obviously never been to the North West of Scotland. White Sand, Turquoise Water.
or pretty much any beach north scotland
Aren't Scotland's beautiful beaches ruined by sand flys?
or Cornwall...
@@benkeilty3586 🤣 and Rain.
There's so much to cover in the UK, how about doing "Drive the Country" seeking out the best roads, collections, events and coffee along the way.
If you want to see a truly majestic beach visit Sandwood Bay in Scotland - I've never seen anything like it, a photo or video doesn't do it justice.
This is just me, but I found your channel because of the cars and trips you were doing with Mr JWW, but I subscribed because this channel have always felt more than just another car channel. I enjoy the places and the traveling.
I like the content that shows cars actually being driven, rather than just looking around them, appeals to the emotions that all car people feel.
I watch STG videos because its a Seen Through Glass video. Not because of which cars are in it, or where you are, or the title but because I know every single one of your videos are fantastic and enjoyable. So do what you want - I feel a big proportion of your subscribers think the same
You using and showing and updating us on your own cars is the best aspect about this channel for me. Not only they are amazing but also, they make me wonder how it would be living and enjoying them in the UK and Europe. More of this please!
Honestly the videos you make that focus on beautiful parts of the world are the videos I enjoy the most. There is more than enough car-only content on TH-cam, but it is much harder to find motoring orientated travel content that showcases interesting locations with such spectacular editing and filmwork.
This kind of content in infinitely more interesting than showcasing a bunch of rich people with brand new supercars.
As an American 996 cab owner whose daughter spent a semester in London last year (& says she’d go back for a longer stay in an instant) I say your 996 travel videos are awesome! My wife & I bought our ‘99 cab September 2022, cheap, and like you sank a sizable pile of $$ into it- new leather, new top, similar suspension issues, etc. We have NO regrets!
Love the content with Modern classics. They represent a more analogue age and are of course so much more attainable for STG viewers than the crazy high priced modern Supercars. The STG 996 is a lovely thing and the travel style video using a STG fleet car is great. As for a bit more content and information on the places that you visit, yes please.
I second this !
De modern classics make great content. More of that wouldn't go by unnoticed. I'll be in the market for one someday. The editing is outstanding as always.
Keep it up.
The travel part we do love Sam, keep that going. More collectors and more cars can never hurt though
I'll just say it as it is in my case. Of the group that you used to travel with regularly before restrictions, you weren't always the first one I'd watch. I think it was only because you were in their videos that I ever saw your content. Fast forward years later and honestly it's your videos that are now always the first to watch and view consistently, regardless of content. There is something about your videography, editing, music choices and random content that is just on a higher level. Honestly I watch everything you post as a rule and enjoy it all. I can't say there is a favourite and it's because of the randomness. You still seem excited and privileged to be able to share your world with us and it comes across as a pleasure to view. Film whatever you want, as long as you're having fun and it's making you happy I'll always be here. Can't help you with the car decision. Just spent a year looking for a newer car and just ended up doing upgrades to my own to make it more enjoyable. I couldn't decide. The 40th anniversary 911 is one of my favorites. But I love 911's and wish I could afford one so maybe it's better to have a Porsche you drive regardless of model.
As an American, I really like getting to see lesser seen areas of the UK like this. These are great to help make a short list of places I’d like to stop when coming to visit. Really enjoyed it, thanks
Love cars, love travel. A combination of the two is absolute bliss! I think most people tune in because of you Sam.
I think there's been great balance of your content over the last 15 - 16 months of Covid here in the UK. I do like the travel type videos in your own cars, the Abarth project and the adventures in new cars, modern classics etc etc. At the end of day, produce what you want to produce. It's not just about the actual content, it's also your infectious enthusiasm and natural presentation that keeps us all entertained. And if anyone on this channel hasn't subscribed to Behind The Glass yet, go and do that NOW! They dynamic between you and Tony is just brilliant! And when Tony isn't around, other guests are always really interesting. As others have said, there's plenty of other channels for those that want to see the latest super and hyper cars. Keep up the great work Sam. And thank you, for doing what you do.
Loving the travel content, What ever you put out is always fantastically put together. Keep it up bro!
Great Sam to see the 996 trip!!
Travel content with your cars, visiting independent car manufacturers and specialists, restomods, etc. Keep up the work you do, it's great!! Number 1 TH-camr for car content with your style, aesthetics, authentic with no product placement and great content! Thanks a lot
I'm not in to travel-specific channels, but really like the ones you do when it's intertwined with car stuff, so definitely happy for more!
I think we enjoying watching you Sam just driving and talking shop. You shouldn't over think it and just believe that it's your presentation style and charismatic delivery that make the channel.
Love the travel content, the super car content, the porsche content, the ferrari content, the coffee morning content, etc. The balance and your personal way of delivering what you do...the ‘blend’ is what I dig. Cheers from Portland, Oregon USA.
I personally really enjoy all the content you share mate ,your passion on your car's , borrowed cars,travel ,the country side , museums,car rebuilds what ever you share has always been great .Cheers from Noosa Australia 🇦🇺👍
DON´T SELL THE 911! We want content just like this! (i firmly believe most of us do) Trips to big or small destinations. Especially in these times when few can travel. Following along in a classic 911 to a lovely little town is just gold to watch. There are too many supercar channels honestly. This is so much more enjoyable. Keep it up!
After a short comment before a little longer answer now:
I‘m all for videos with your own cars! I think it’s so much more natural to see you enjoying them on trips around the country then to always show the newest, crazy stuff with zero chance for you of developing any “relationship” to the product and just giving some specs and initial impressions - it seems like being a brand ambassador for many different brands real fast.
On vids like this we know you like the car (because you bought it) and we know you like coffee and also old towns - all great content!
We enjoy what you enjoy :)
I love the travel stuff. I love the project stuff. This is what I love about your channel. The variety. Film what you want. After all, this is YOUR channel, not ours. Keep up the awesome work, dude.
Loving this type of content Sam - also spotted the new ring so massive congratulations to you and Vicky.
Your travel videos are great, and it is down to how genuine you are. Keep it up!
Like everyone else, I definitely stay around because of the mix of lifestyle, cars and coffee. Not diving too deep into the technicality of the cars, but rather the emotion and feeling behind it.
WE NEED MORE TRAVELING FOOTAGE! You showcase it very well. Cars and travel go very well together. I'd like it to be 50/50 in cars similar to this 911, something cool but attainable
Travel vlogs in your own cars are the things that attract me the most
I enjoy a bit of everything Sam it’s nice to mix it up. I love the content you produce. Always enjoy watching
First of all didn’t realise the Porsche had a sunroof !! That’s awesome . Second . Sam everyone that watches your videos watches them because of the quality of your content . Any video you put up I’ll be watching . 💪💪
Your balance is brilliant. Love the cars, yours and others. And love the locations.
Keep going with the mini road trips, I’m loving them. Your cars or someone else’s, your personality brings the videos to life.
You don't need to change anything Sam, love watching your content! Keep filming what you love to film, that's why you have a great fan base!
says more about timeout magazine than the beach...great stuff though Sam, love that 996
Really enjoying watching the content on your own cars. It’s also great seeing places around the UK to travel to on future road trips.👌
Hi Sam, I’m happy to watch any content you are passionate about. I’ve been with you for years and I’m happy to go wherever you take the channel. Side note I’m always happy to see your collaborations with Paul, James, TGE and all the boys.
I think you just about nailed it, early start, good drive down, bit of 'where you are' footage, all good.
love the travel content! with both your cars and anything else special! but overall it's great to watch something you're passionate about!
I really do enjoy the travel content and like to see you do it in your own cars. For me it's not about what kind of car you use, but the way you enjoy the car and the trip, the adventures you make and the bond you create with the car.
Love what you're doing Sam. The mix of travel and cars is great.
Keep traveling!!!!! It’s so interesting and you have a way of conveying actually being there and it’s super entertaining. Your cars (especially the 360), or others cars! Love the videos! Love from the US
As a slightly older viewer, I love this type of content. The new car reviews might get more views, but for me they can get a bit lost in the sea of videos all created around the same car? I think your current mix is spot on. Your enthusiasm for your own cars is there for all to see. But what has always set you apart is your story telling, you’re cinematography is second to no one. The time you must spend driving back and forth for the drive-by shots (not to mention the sequence at the start of this video) is certainly not missed on me. I hope the views enable you to just keep doing what you’re doing.
Variety is key and it’s one of the reasons you are one of the best car you tubers out there!! Your videos always still surprise me which is something I can’t say for most these days which have fallen into a rinse and repeat style of content creating, all in all keep up the fantastic work!!
Loving your content. It shows me an enthusiast going out and enjoying the cars available to him, I would want nothing more nothing less. Keep it up!
Really enjoying the travel videos in your own cars Sam, I've added some of the places you've been to to my own wishlist
I found your channel by the 996 search, I love to see what you are doing with yours. do some road trips and keep them coming, its a great car and so nice to see being used!
Keep up with your work Sam! Love your video and enjoy riding that 996!
love seeing the videos of adventures in your cars and would also like seeing more of the little towns you explore! Honestly inspires me to go out and explore more in my own car!
That’s stunning, I had to do the buttertub pass last week after watching your video on it and now I want to go here, these videos will have me all over the country before long!
I’ve always loved your travel vlogs (hens why I watched all of drive the world). As someone who doesn’t travel much, I enjoy seeing content on new and exciting places. Keep it up!
I quite enjoy the mix of cars, coffee and travel. I think the most enjoyable aspect of your content is when you're enjoying it... With your cars and that of others.
(And congrats again to you and Vikki!)
Love the travel content, and everything you suggested as an option will be good content. You execute everything very well!
Cars and travel always go hand in hand, so keep them coming Sam. Nice places with nice cars are always welcome.
don't over think it. film what you want, where you want, in whatever car you want
I for one have always loved the slowmo shots of the espresso machines on your channel.... its actually what has turned me onto coffee. This channel has much more artistry than others and i for one am here for it.
Really enjoying this kind of content. For me, cars are meant to take you to amazing destinations and I love seeing the roads, the cars and the places you visit.
Not usually a regular viewer of your channel, but keep coming back for the travel style videos. So for me I’d love to see more, whether it be in your own cars or others!
First of all, congratulations bro very happy for you both!
Second, I’m really loving the travel/vlog style videos with a hint of stg spicy editing 👍🏻
I love it!
Hope you’re well 👍🏻
I love the travel stuff, the coffee stuff, going to cafes, and of course the cars whether they are yours or not! I am definitely enjoying what you are currently doing!
Really enjoyed your traveling videos and vlogs recently Sam! Even helped me plan some visit’s and trips so I’d be really happy to see more travelling, where you are/recommend and in your cars too !! 👍🏻👍🏻
Love these small trip videos and some drone shots of picturesque places. If you can do these trips with other modern classics then it will be even more cool to watch.
Great video. Always look forward to such videos
Sam just keep producing the kind of videos that you enjoy making because I’m sure that it’s the variety of different content you’re making, that makes it so watchable.
Hey Sam, i watch because every video is a pleasure to watch, with that said I really think you would document a full resto awesomely. But definitly keep up visiting cool classic dealerships! Keep up the good work!
Loving the travel and showroom content. You still make videos so enjoyable.
Feedback like a teacher - your own cars, borrowed cars, electric or hybrid cars, it really doesn’t matter what you put out. Your videos have fantastic videography, editing and you have a wonderful presentation style. Easily the best car channel on TH-cam. Thanks for the content (and Tony)
My husband has the same model Porsche and he enjoys hearing your thought of it. And being in Hobart, we love seeing your UK drives.and that you have a lot of experience with driving newer cars means your experiences in and thoughts about your own cars are more balanced. Keep tripping around - we love seeing the UK countryside given we can’t get there at the moment our selves
I'm enjoying what your already doing!
Loving the travel content, makes for a great little departure from worklife. Seeing people use interesting cars to explore random places is very refreshing
Pretty much love all your adventures classic cars new cars. Seeing the countryside. I was nine when I left the UK for down under. Melbourne has been locked down four times for over 170 days now. No travel possible. So anything will make me happy right now. Thanks Sam.
Just do your own thing, Sam!
One of the things I enjoy about this channel is the mix of content. On other channels, I get bored of just new car reviews, or someone working on a single project, and definitely anyone who is just do endless useless mods.
The mix here is great. Trips to get coffee, a look at classics, seeing your cars come together and get out on the road… and of course not quite possible at the moment, but Drive The World was 💯
Either way, if you’re enjoying making the content, that’ll come through.
Keep on doing what you’re doing - I really enjoy the variety and quality of your content……and don’t give up the Porsche !
Travel and cars are what brought me to the channel and personally, I really like the vibes
I’m enjoying all of your content, I think it is refreshing to have a balanced mix of travel, own car thoughts/reviews and other car reviews etc. I don’t think you should stress over what you are creating, your videos are easy and very interesting, so anything centred around cars & coffee gets my vote👍
First of all, congrats Sam! More content on travel around UK with whatever car you enjoy, oh yes would definitely love to see more shots on the small town as well! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Congratulations to you both and much happiness on your wedding day. May your love shine warmly forever.
Definitely enjoy your travel content! the locations you go inspires me!
your channel is really one of the best "enthusiasts" channel about, other you-tubers are in it for the attention and posing, but what I enjoy about your videos is seeing your enjoyment in your own cars and own little adventures, this one and the Scotland one a few weeks back were awesome videos, made me just want to jump in my car and do the same. I think the travel videos are the one, your charisma makes them so much more enjoyable,. keep on doing what you do Sam
Love your content, been watching since you had the Alfa 4C. I think you have the formula down and your content and style have just been steadily improving . Appreciate the cinematography, music, and appreciation of classic+modern cars. Its clear that lots of care and attention to detail go into making these videos, keep it up! And yes, please let us give you the excuse to make content with your own cars, we need to see (but mainly hear) that 360!! Congrats on the engagement :)
Driving and traveling videos always appreciated. 1086 anniversary here
Would love to see more of the car content along with the travel side. Particularly as i live in the UK, seeing you document place, driving roads along with your own cars really differentiates your channel from others. Keep up the excellent content 👍😁
The UK is a beautiful country and I for one am glad you are showing it along with your cars.
Loving the travel videos with your own cars, you're giving me a list of places to try out in the UK whilst we can't travel abroad. keep up the great work :)
Sam, I’m loving the car/lifestyle travel content. I’m meant to be in the UK exploring this year so I personally am loving it
Great video Sam! I love the content whether it’s travel or cars or both. Really liking it 👍 I definitely come here for cars, coffee and travel. 3 of my favourite things
Hey Sam - Travelling around the UK in your cars also works for me and I love this content. As a Canadian, we have nowhere to go (lockdown) and I'm glad to see different parts of the world with your car content. 😊🚗🌴
