There's something really nice about STG's channel in that you can feel the aspiration, and the hard work and the fulfilment that comes from achieving things. There's lots of great TH-camrs out there with loads of cars (and I love their channels too don't get me wrong) but I always feel like with Sam you can "feel it" more and that's a really nice thing that deserves more subscribers than it has!
Absolutely bang on 👌 I really admire Sam's authenticity and genuine appreciation for his life. I really can't be doing with Shmee etc who have a real whiff of "do you know who I am?" about them, these days.
@@Kempy89 I have no problem with Shmee personally. He's a nice guy and his on screen persona is not the same as his off screen persona as I've noticed when he's on Sam's podcast. But Sam's channel is unique in my view and I really like it for that. Each to their own. :)
I agree....and I think I know who you're talking about when you mention other youtubers....it's hard to really be 'happy' for him/them as it's seems to be just 'too easy' now and it's just one thing after another.....but with Sam, he really deserves the spoils he works so hard for.
100% there is more "at stake" if that makes sense. It makes it better since you know its really Sams passion here and he's not just collecting checks with no stress. he's putting work in
EXACTLY THE SAME! i dont know whats about sam but i crave those sunday mornings drinking a cappuccino and watching the new video. He has such a sunday bad weather chilled vibe. its insane
Hey mate, you're supposed to put / leave the F1 tranny into 1st gear when shutting the car down. That's why its "yelling" / beeping around 5:40 mark. When entering the car, turn ignition ON, wait for OK at center display (very very important!) and then pull the paddles to put the car Neutral. Only then start it. Believe me, I had 360 for 5 years + this is described at the User Manual 🙂
😂😂 that feeling of coming around the corner, facing a cop, knowing that all they just heard is your car. Absolutely love the content so happy for the new car and all of the new journeys that you’re gonna be going on. Can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2024.
CS looking sweet glad it went well for the first trip Sam. Nice to see you in the car park at the old railway in Tetbury, I was the motorbiker covered in mud😂
Hey Sam, I notice you park the car in neutral. The Ferrari manual states that the F1 system should be kept in gear when parking, without handbrake. It's why it makes the long beep every time you turn off the ignition, to warn you about being in neutral. I have a question about parking in cities like Paris. Do you somehow check beforehand if ground clearance in a parking garage will be an issue, or do you just wing it and hope for the best? I usually take another car to city trips, but it would be much nicer to bring the Ferrari and get rid of parking anxiety.
Yeah and the "starting sequence" also differs from manual tranny 360. Hope he knows how to drive the automated gearbox aka F1 tranny car. Its significant different than manual tranny.
Absolutely love how much sam drives his cars. So cool. Also side note, I find it truly amazing just how different that rosso scuderia paint looks in different shots depending on the lighting, almost looked orange at the start sat in windrush
You gotta love Sam and his passion. He is intense as a kid realizing his dreams. I drive barely 60 cars a year and I can say a lost that excitement about special cars and he didn’t. I hope he never loses the enthusiasm, that’s what makes his channel as good as it is.
The difference between a automotive TH-camr and a civilian that owns exotics ... Sam has done 600 miles in his CS in 2 months and thinks it's not a lot...I have done 1800 miles in an exotic car I bought in 2020 and 700 more miles in another exotic I bought in 2018 - and I feel LUCKY!!!
@@SuperKimjong - yes, well that car was bought when it was 20 years old, and it was in need of some TLC so it was being worked on for a fair amount of time
OMG Sam, the smiles on your face while driving the CS say it all! I think Vicky feels a bit worried if she sees this video cause she might dropped to 2nd place ;)
Great to see a you tuber that is not afraid to use his cars in all conditions unlike some who buy them show them off then you never see the car again until they do a garage update and it’s been sold no content whatsoever apart from look what I’ve got
Sam on the sports seats and touring it’s worth thinking about raising them slightly. Superformance do a kit which has several heights to adjust to. In my F430 it’s the lack of thigh support over long distances that I needed to sort out. The kit works
Love the content Sam. It is great to see someone desire a car, work for years to obtain, and then enjoy. Too many TH-camrs buy crazy cars and are excited to spec and then get them, then they move on to the next one for content. Love the channel. I just bought my dream Ferrari and I never intend on selling it.
My favourite Ferrari of all time, fortunate enough to get a drive in one at a supercar day out at ingliston In Edinburgh, proper old skool almost go kart like, loved every second of it
regarding the seats, I could be wrong, but I believe that the shell is the same one for the different sizes and is the amount of padding which changes the size inside of the seat. People usually reduce the size of the foam to have more room inside the seats instead of changing the whole seats to supposedly get a different size
Great video man. Loved the way the French police officers immediately started smiling when they saw the beautiful Ferrari pulling up. I'm happy for you that you get to drive your dream car. The 360 CS is absolutely amazing and gorgeous. Enjoy it.
In all honesty that bill wasn’t too bad Sam all things considered. I’ve a 360 obsession starting and I know how that ends up although it won’t be any time soon! I’ll enjoy your adventures in the meantime!
With regards to the Bluetooth solution: even with limited (automotive) DIY experience you can easily replace the head unit with one that has working Bluetooth. Longer term it might nice to update speakers as well..
I would look into having the seat center sections foam replaced rather than chucking the seats altogether. That engine sounded great on the backroads. Wonderful car.
I really love your style of video Sam, you are just a normal bloke living your normal life, you just happen to own some of the coolest cars and show us what it's like to live with them :') ❤️
Great vid! Lovely to sit down and watch start to finish, hopefully your watch time reflects that. Any more trips planned to Scotland? The scenery combined with your skills makes fantastic videos.
Im picking up on a few things……I dont see the same genuine spark with this car that you had with the modena. You picked a few things that the modena had better. I have both, and the modena is gated, i like the strad because its a strad but the modena is the car of the two for me. Ive got similar upgrades as you had, and its perfection to me. If you ever genuinely feel the modena was better it would be great to get the genuine talk on the comparisons. If your ever in Aus your welcome to take mine on your trips here. Love the show, but 🙏 please more 360 content.
Medium carbon seats in my 360 are super comfortable. They are finished in leather though, maybe that is why you are feeling a difference from your previous 360. The medium are not tight fitting buckets.
I like the FM transmitter. I think they are massive under rated for classic cars rather than a garish car play. However has taken me yesrs to fond one that is subtle and doesnt have a million different lights
Not going to lie, those repair costs actually seem reasonable. Also my friends dad had a Modena but with the black interior, he also put a sound system in it with two subwoofers and an amplifier, it sounded great!
Sam you need to come drive the rockies here in Alberta through to BC in canada to enjoy some nice scenery, it will add to your drive the world experience! Come visit august motorcars
Wonderful sharing that trip with you, and the car sounds great! Just wondering when you mention miles, and mph can you show the kmh equivalent on screen please? 80% of the world is metric including Australia where I live so mph/kmh and metric distances would enhance the viewing experience.
I would strongly recommend using a pair of noise canceling headphones for long motorway commutes. I use Bose qc 35 in my old Cayman and they transform the comfort level for high speed long distance travel. Plus I can have actual phone conversations with people 😂
Next time you visit the Stradman you and your wife should visit Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon. The small town of Springdale Utah would be a great place to stay over.( Will not disappoint) I’ve been watching your videos for over 2 years and today I realized that I had not subscribed. My apologies. Enjoy your content!
Hey dude, Idk if youre even gonna see this comment but im an American in Germany with an Alfa Romeo Giulia Q4 (quite modified) and I live in Stuttgart. Planning to do some twisty road driving through alps, France, Italy this year. Probably gonna visit lake como as well in may. If you wanna link up lemme know.

Imagining Sam starting his dream CS and hearing 'The bluetooth device is ready to pair' like in my old Yaris
Zhe blootoofff devaizzz ish redaeh to paeah. Zhe blootoofff devaizzz conekitedaeh sxchukssessffoolaeah.
😂😂😂😂
Always watch this with a coffee on Sunday mornings. Hard to beat.
Exact same thing Im doing!
Yes man! That's the way!☕
Sunday afternoon and a beer for me 👌
Me too
EXACTLY THE SAME! i dont know whats about sam but i crave those sunday mornings drinking a cappuccino and watching the new video. He has such a sunday bad weather chilled vibe. its insane
Solid advice from Sam : always print your insurance and put it in the glovebox with all the essential documents. Makes road life so much easier.
It's required in the USA

I'm sure he uses the "Will My 360 Challenge Stradale Fit" -app which has all parking garages listed and whether or not it's ok to drive in.

Really large bill indeed, but really reasonable prices as well. I didn't expect that, with that level of expertise it's actually quite 'cheap'
Agreeed, they’ve looked after him with the labour cost there
Yep - does Aldous do Range Rovers too?! :D
You gotta love Sam and his passion. He is intense as a kid realizing his dreams. I drive barely 60 cars a year and I can say a lost that excitement about special cars and he didn’t. I hope he never loses the enthusiasm, that’s what makes his channel as good as it is.
That engine sounds awesome when you open her up. These are the enjoyable films to watch Sam :)
I love these roadtrips.
You're an artist. The drive down to the cops was brilliant as was the introduction to Paris. Very nicely done!
The colour on that CS is glorious, so good to have the Scuderia Ferrari F1 paint from the Schumacher era.
The difference between a automotive TH-camr and a civilian that owns exotics ... Sam has done 600 miles in his CS in 2 months and thinks it's not a lot...I have done 1800 miles in an exotic car I bought in 2020 and 700 more miles in another exotic I bought in 2018 - and I feel LUCKY!!!
700 miles since 2018 😮... that's a few trips to the pub a year
Are you Manny Khoshbin? 😮
Nobody asked
@@Mufc_Kenny - Haha no I am not but I understand!
@@SuperKimjong - yes, well that car was bought when it was 20 years old, and it was in need of some TLC so it was being worked on for a fair amount of time
Beautiful car Sam, I’ve been following you for a fair few years, so glad you managed to step into your dream car, keep up the great work 😎👍🏻
OMG Sam, the smiles on your face while driving the CS say it all! I think Vicky feels a bit worried if she sees this video cause she might dropped to 2nd place ;)

You must feel so cool driving in the Stradale Sam….epic motoring each and every trip
Love the CS, great content!!
Great video Sam, FM transmitters are a godsend, as are small cushions to go at the base of your back for long journeys in bucket seats, give it a try!
Sam on the sports seats and touring it’s worth thinking about raising them slightly. Superformance do a kit which has several heights to adjust to.

Love these kind of video's and the fact you really enjoy your cars. Like a true petrolhead!!
It's soo cool you get to drive to the Continent in your dream car for the first time. Thanks for taking us with you Sam!!!
Braver man than I driving that car through Paris!! The city of parking by sound and feel.....
Cracking video. Proof positive that these cars can just be driven - no excuses - just driven!
My favourite Ferrari of all time, fortunate enough to get a drive in one at a supercar day out at ingliston In Edinburgh, proper old skool almost go kart like, loved every second of it
Same what a video. Keep these video coming . One of only car channel I still watch fully . Rest only here in their.
Running for hours at normal running temps will do that car so much good.A beautiful classic that is❤
Great to see how much you enjoy your challenge stradale. Keep driving it.
Timelapse of Paris was amazing with the music, love it
Thank you Sam! And again congratulations on getting the CS!! Can't wait to see what happens next 🤟
This sound... amazing! Thanks for your great video Sam. Good to see you enjoying your Stradale!
So cool to see you out enjoying your dream car. Love that you are using it properly!
regarding the seats, I could be wrong, but I believe that the shell is the same one for the different sizes and is the amount of padding which changes the size inside of the seat.

Great video man. Loved the way the French police officers immediately started smiling when they saw the beautiful Ferrari pulling up. I'm happy for you that you get to drive your dream car. The 360 CS is absolutely amazing and gorgeous. Enjoy it.
Thank you Sam, always look forward to watching ...!
The 360 Challenge seems to have been a great purchase. Your content just gets better and better.
In all honesty that bill wasn’t too bad Sam all things considered. I’ve a 360 obsession starting and I know how that ends up although it won’t be any time soon! I’ll enjoy your adventures in the meantime!
Be careful with underground car parks Sam! You might remember the top gear episode where they slightly brought Paris to a halt trying to exit.
Greetings from Luxembourg! Always a pleasure to hear you hopped by. Would be great to be able to meet you some day.
I can't help but Smile seeing Sam Smiling 🙂he is definitely loving the CS.
With regards to the Bluetooth solution: even with limited (automotive) DIY experience you can easily replace the head unit with one that has working Bluetooth. Longer term it might nice to update speakers as well..
From spotter to spotted. Awesome car...
Stoked you finally got it Sam, looks freakin awesome.
In right hand drive as well, you legend. 👍
Go to Monaco 🇲🇨 with it next!
Great video Sam, looking forward to more Challenge Stradale updates / road trips 🤓
Really enjoyed the overview towards at end of the video. Great change of pace and excited for what is to come!
BROOO those shots of Paris were amazing! Great vid as always Sam.
The interior of the CS is huge improvement over the standard 360 and those silver panels.
8:45 min - I love your POV segments.✊
I would look into having the seat center sections foam replaced rather than chucking the seats altogether. That engine sounded great on the backroads. Wonderful car.
I really love your style of video Sam, you are just a normal bloke living your normal life, you just happen to own some of the coolest cars and show us what it's like to live with them :') ❤️

Can't wait to see the CS in the south of France, maybe at Monaco or the driving roads around it, amazing first trip to Paris !
Hope you have lots of fun in your new motor - live your dream.
What a slick design. I really love this particular model.
The CS looks awsome I hope it’s as good as you thought it would be. Looking forward to more content
I like the FM transmitter. I think they are massive under rated for classic cars rather than a garish car play. However has taken me yesrs to fond one that is subtle and doesnt have a million different lights
DK: the clutch is good on this car. After Paris: yeah we found out the clutch is at 15% so we had to renew it 😂
Great to have you in Luxembourg again Sam! Hope you come back soon!
Cars are meant to be driven. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Not going to lie, those repair costs actually seem reasonable. Also my friends dad had a Modena but with the black interior, he also put a sound system in it with two subwoofers and an amplifier, it sounded great!
The car looks and sounds fantastic. You are very brave to take it in to Paris.
Absolutely stunning and one of the greatest Ferrari designs ❤
Wicked vid Sam. Take it to car audio security for new speakers/decent headunit
Love all the positive comments here👌🏻
Keep producing great stuff, Sam!
Congratulations, very cool upgrade!
Sam, try a Flash magic eraser on you steering wheel. You'll be amazed the amount of dirt it will remove and improve the feel of the wheel
We need another super car road trip w/ the gang. I loved the last one you did.
pretty car, good for you and great content.
Sam you need to come drive the rockies here in Alberta through to BC in canada to enjoy some nice scenery, it will add to your drive the world experience! Come visit august motorcars

Great to see you enjoying your dream car, and ran well to Paris. ps New specs suit you much better than the last ones 🙂
Looks great really like the racing stripe you got a looker there .
Been to Paris 2x with my Giulia now…yes…nerve wrecking but i love it lmao. Arch De triumph is nuts!!
I preferred your old 360. But hey, I don't own either, just a humble Porsche Cayman. Love your videos.
That jacket looks great!

I find the best view of Paris is through the rear view mirror I hate the place Good video your a brave man
😂
I bet having that car now makes you even more pleased you went manual in the GT3. I imagine going from PDK to that F1 would be quite the shock!
Auto sucks period manual all the way
Beautiful video, as always!
this content is just unbeatable
…..would have liked to see your Paris “coffee stop”!! Always appreciate those coffee stops! 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Great energy Sam!
Nice jacket sam!😄 i love that Brand deus
10:23 The sound of relief. 😅
Fantastic video sir.
Its nice to see a nice car being used.
