The video of him buying it was uploaded 5 years ago! Plus he got this a while after Shmee150 brought his 675lt and GT8 so I’m not quite sure where he gets the maths from 🤣
C'mon Sam ol' Boy, you are the new owner of that 360 manual spider in the Challenge Stradale conversion process, you're just waiting to spring it on us in a future video! Good to hear the treck back from Spain all worked out kinda well in the end.
Did you not have european breakdown with recovery to UK ? My cars are newer, less likely to breakdown and worth a chunk less than your 360 but i wouldnt dream of doing a euro road trip without cover including recovery to the UK
this is why i love sams channel man. just his pure love for cars is like no others. no clickbaits, breaking the law, revving the piss out of a broken car with a broken transmission or peeling off stickers for competition or whatever. thank you sam for the amazing content you put out!
I’m going to miss seeing the F-Type on the channel. I recently got a job at a JLR dealer and I get to drive F-Types often, and I really have fallen for them too. Sad to see it leave. Hopefully a third one in future?! 🤞
Don't mess with your car it is in too good condition, look at what Ratarossa does, he finds crashed or forgotten Ferraris and does them up which means he is adding value to them which wouldn't be the case if you converted your Ferrari to anything else.
Lets be very very clear, cars break down, parts fail and thats 100% normal. For a Ferrari to only have an issue like this once in 8 years is amazing and not totally acceptable IMHO. Glad you got things squared away Sam.
Great of you to have informed us all of this breakdown you had with your 360. It reminds me what a friend once told me : buying one of these cars is the (relatively) easy part ; maintaining them is where things can get unpleasant. I had just bought a second hand 550 Maranello at the time. What he said proved to be true 😤
Knowing that there could be essentially two reasons for the dash light to come on: brake pads and fluid level, and being able to exclude the brake pads 99% because they had no sensor (yeah there might have been some bad contact somewhere... how likely?), I'd say it was a bit foolish not to check and top off the fluid...
my 987 boxster dumped its coolant following a water pump failure in the south of France. I had European recovery so no worries i flew home and waited for about 6 weeks for the car to return. When the car finally arrived it had multiple significant scratches, including the convertible roof, front bumper popped off on one corner - ultimately not the end of the world but clearly the car had been treat with distain. So Sams approach albeit im sure expensive may be the better way.
Sad to see the F-type go...really! HApp y to see you gave it such love, to your one and to the model itself and would love to see that for times to come... oh well! Nice to see 360 well and staying a bit longer too!
2 to 3 month to recover the car? These freaking insurance companies make you believe you are covered but you are actually not. Hope they paid at least some of the costs involved
Love the vids Sam, especially the road trip stuff. I’ve been here from the start. But…. Why oh why would you not check the level and top it up? You can try and get away with that if you’re popping to the shops, but not when you’re half way around the world. 🤦🏼♂️😄 The ultimate outcome would be the same, as in you’d need a new clutch slave cylinder, but it would have got you home and saved you so much hassle. 👍🏻
Having had 2 F cars previously, I seriously don't understand why people are still buying these cars as if they're something special. They are not worth the upfront or long-term price or hassle. Put your ego and pride behind you, and select a car you can actually enjoy day in and day out. And there's many of them out there.
Well done to Victor for helping you , I would be scared to death if that happened to me in Spain as not speaking the lingo it would be easy to get ripped off.
i still remember the dream that was the cause for you to buy the 360. you were dreaming about driving a manual challenge stradale. i say, instead of bidding farewell to the 360, do the same thing as the convertible 360 owner is doing. convert the 360 into a manual challenge stradale 👍
Sam, good to get it fixed but why couldn’t you just top it up and get the local garage to bleed the clutch? You could have driven home then and saved a lot of time and money. It’s just a clutch after all?
Sam you should totally convert your car to a challenge stradale, keep the car you have this bond with and all of those awesome sorties, and keep its beautiful manual gear box!!
That would be the coolest thing if you‘d completely convert your 360 to a CS with original parts. You would have the perfect manual CS and continue your amazing journey with your first Ferrari and bring it to the ultimate level.
I think the worst thing about the 360 breaking down, is having to endure Tony laughing at you.
Burn😅
Can't wait for the next podcast
Its been 8 years with 360 already??? Damn the time flies fast.
The video of him buying it was uploaded 5 years ago! Plus he got this a while after Shmee150 brought his 675lt and GT8 so I’m not quite sure where he gets the maths from 🤣
Think he was not being too serious and maybe got the timeline confused with a different car he owned
C'mon Sam ol' Boy, you are the new owner of that 360 manual spider in the Challenge Stradale conversion process, you're just waiting to spring it on us in a future video! Good to hear the treck back from Spain all worked out kinda well in the end.
Must have misspoke he's only had it for almost 6 years unless he hid it for two
@@nhbuckley8 years he right it's 2026
I can already hear Tony laughing at Sam's 360 now. Hahahaha
pile of crap
I'm hearing his laugh after I seen your comment 😂
Had a passenger ride in 360 spider, I’m completely in love & desperately want one,

Challenge Stradale the current 360!
The transition at 1:15!! Damnnnnn
Old cars break down, even with good service.
Been a few times youve mentioned parting with your 360 so i feel this is on the horizon sadly. Be a shame as its a really cool car to keep long term.
Did you not have european breakdown with recovery to UK ?
My cars are newer, less likely to breakdown and worth a chunk less than your 360 but i wouldnt dream of doing a euro road trip without cover including recovery to the UK
You can sound like Richard Hammond by saying 'as breakdowns go that was pretty good' 😂😂
This car seems to need parts constantly, even in between services?
Not a bad track record for the 360! I love Dinos! Top 5 dream car. Next time the car warns you, take it serious! LOL
I just noticed that you have a roll cage, albeit a leather covered one. When did this happen lol
Please tell us more about the Dino
Happy Father's day Sam
Oh nooooo 😮
Imagine being so arrogant that you ignore the specialist when you yourself cant even change breakpads
Never ever sell your car you're only going to end up missing it
Is it me or it seems you don't need to have a manual Ferrari on neutral to start it?
In 30 odd years of driving I've never seen any manual car that needs to be in neutral to start it
Dont manual cars kind of "jump" when u start them in gear?
@@muzishakes not if you put clutch down
My bad....im that expirianced. Thanks though
Your 20 year old Ferrari is more reliable than my 5 year old VW
If you're gunna have a break down you might as well do a proper job right down at the bottom of Europe 😂
The title Is a bit deceiving, “Finally Broke Down”!...Did you want It to break down…?
If English is your first language you wouldn't find it misleading at all.
Understand the title...“Finally Broke Down”!
Spare me the poor English.@@manisbho
Tony will love this
Can't wait for the pod now😂
Tony is gonna have a field day
I can hear him now “ Well it’s a shit Ferrari, that why I drive new”
Tony will dine of this for years 😂😂😂
I can hear his laugh 😂
other youtubers would have done a 15 part story abouth this breakdown.. Sam keeping it classy without clickbait...

Sam, you've spent to long in America, it's a wing not a fender !!!
What a nice guy Av is.
Poor Sam,I can already hear Tony laughing and I live in Austria 😂
I’m gonna miss the F type when it’s gone, but if you’re replacing it with an F pace SVR then maybe not so much.
You are an amazing storyteller and photographer, great the 360 was fixed! And of course congrats to the guys at the garage with the award!

Aldous is such a legend. He’s got me out of trouble few times in unsociable hours 😅 I felt bad contacting him
I hear Tony laughing his socks off right now

Wtf! Sue the company for the poor handling of your car, that’s bloody terrible
Who would leave a Dino just sitting in a garden
Sad to see the F-type go...really! HApp y to see you gave it such love, to your one and to the model itself and would love to see that for times to come... oh well! Nice to see 360 well and staying a bit longer too!
Tony will never let you hear the end of this 😂
Tony will have a field day with this shit, next ep of btg 💀😂
How much did that service cost?
2 to 3 month to recover the car? These freaking insurance companies make you believe you are covered but you are actually not. Hope they paid at least some of the costs involved
He said it could have been 2-3 months but it was only 2 weeks :)
@@ssseeee5116 It was 2 weeks because he sorted it him self ^^
@@murdoch9106 ah, yes

Learn to work on cars it was an easy fix and cost you fortune lol😊
Awesome see that 360 made back. With only a minor issue at the end.
Challenge to get it to 100,000 miles 🏁🏁
Can't see the Custodian app on the app store
Karma for drinking Starbucks coffee 😉
Jeeeze, not having much luck with car reliability lately!!!!!!!!!??????
I noticed in your introduction you getting off a private jet! Has TH-cam been that successful for you?
You definitely should convert your 360 to a CS! The content would be INCREDIBLE!
Expensive.
So you second guessed your Ferrari specialist? Da! 😅😂😅😂😅
that sound pay back for every time this car Will broker down!
The more videos I see on Ferraris the less I want to own one. For the money they cost, they seem terribly built
Do you have a link/details for ss transport? I need to get a van from Portugal to the UK
Oh dear, The next Behind the Glass may set a world record for the longest sustained laugh...
I would truly consider the conversion to your car.
Sam!!!!🤦🏼♂️🤷🏽just 30-50mls of fluid would have saved you !!!
I always love spotting the roads that I know so well, when you visit Aldis.
Broke down, my head goes to engine blown...what happened was very unconcerning!
Ratarossa has already done a Challenge Stradali Spyder.
That wasn’t a manual. I am surprised Sam didn’t mention Scott’s conversion though.
Scott (Ratarossa) has already completed a 360 Spider Stradale conversion for a client. The first one I believe.
True, but that wasn’t a manual as this one will be. I am surprised Sam didn’t give Scott a shout out though.
17:29 min - that definitely doesn't apply to Sam. 😁👍
A mere blip for a petrolhead
Go talk to Ratarossa - for a Spyder CS ;-)
time for a 458
Eight years! Holy Cow! Where did the time go?
In otherwords Sam when the mechanic says “TOP UP FLUID” top up Le fluid 😂😂😂
Nearly 8 years of owning the 360!!? I had to go back and look that up😂
You don't know how to drive a manual without the clutch?
Congratulations Av engineering on your well deserved award
Just had the AA spend days trying to weasel out of a recovery. Wouldn’t recommend
Well done to Victor for helping you , I would be scared to death if that happened to me in Spain as not speaking the lingo it would be easy to get ripped off.

Great video as usual. Can I ask what watch and strap are you wearing? Looks like a moon swatch with a custom strap?
I remember Sam having a garage space with a gaming / office upstairs.
Does anyone remember what happened to that?
That was the old podcast studio at Duke of London. They moved it out of there to be closer to where Sam and Tony live
Sam, good to get it fixed but why couldn’t you just top it up and get the local garage to bleed the clutch?
You could have driven home then and saved a lot of time and money.
It’s just a clutch after all?
Oh no. Hope you get it fixed in a breeze🤞🏻
So they're doing the same thing as Ratarossa?
WE NEED TO KNOW WHY THIS CAR IS FOR SALE!!!
Wow nice performance 👏
Tommy will have a field day 🤣
Where’s the Range Rover Sport video?
Tony was foaming when you told him and Paul in the GC
Been looking at 360s because yours has looked so reliable haha
Don't worry, your TH-cam views will likely pay for any repairs!
@SeenThroughGlass... Only if you like Rover 200 BRMs or Tomcat Turbos can I speak to you sir! lol..
Why can I hear Tony laughing 😂
Sam is still driving the jaguar
That Dino 😮… much better suited to the talented Mr Ratarossa surely? Another great video Sam.
Sam really does have the perfect team supporting this car.
Listen to your mechanic 😄
Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏻
He’ll regret letting the F Type go.
Sam you should totally convert your car to a challenge stradale, keep the car you have this bond with and all of those awesome sorties, and keep its beautiful manual gear box!!
Well, shoutout to Victor...
That would be the coolest thing if you‘d completely convert your 360 to a CS with original parts. You would have the perfect manual CS and continue your amazing journey with your first Ferrari and bring it to the ultimate level.
