Agreed, people like TGE should look and learn from Sam, TGE has absolutely no idea about relevance and quality and is fast becoming totally irrelevant and will give up his subscribers
What an amazing series; Sam just keep getting better and better. Compare this to JWW’s insurance sponsored borefest and you can see who the real creative TH-camrs in the space are . Congrats!
Glad you finished with a positive day 3 and felt good about it overall. Thanks, Sam, for keeping with the event and appreciating it. Lesson learned. 1. Keep up 2. Prepare ahead of time, and 3. Choose your partner carefully. A positive can-do attitude, plus someone who will take the time to have a driver's license, consider their role and prep would make all the difference. And then stop whining.
Haha that would have been me. Tony just highlights what a positive and bubbly personality Sam is. I got the impression they didn’t both enjoy the MM in the same way 😂
Still amazes me how you manage to do an event like this and capture it all on camera for us all to enjoy in an entertaining and cohesive way. Many, many kudos to you Sam.
Absolutely LOVING these Mille Miglia videos Sam! Some of your best content yet! Shows the harsh truth as well on the more dull sections. It’s not all glitz and glamour. Personally I’d have done all these huge trips before getting the car restored but I admire your patience with seeing all the chips / damage.
Sam. Without a doubt, you are the new standard in automotive content. Full marks! However, your crew (on this trip) let you down in terms of the quality of the B-roll they were tasked to capture for you (and it shows). You're still "The One", but it had to be said. Thank you for the great content.
Yeah saw that too, the crew definitely let Sam down as even the shot at the fuel station was swaying,which it didn't have no reason to, and i suppose no filters were used on those supposedly b rolls either...
@@tunes4life first, let me say I'm merely speculating here. I know not what happened on this trip. However, my assumption is that: -Apart from the actual camera work not being up to par (personal opinion), the B-roll was probably captured using cameras different from the Panasonic (which Sam uses). -Also, the footage appears to have been captured in some sort of log profile (which requires some measure of colour grade), which (I assume) Sam ain't got time for. Regardless, I appreciate Sam's effort and he can always chalk it up to experience.
@@africanotomotiv my first thought was this hasn’t been colour graded. Which is disappointing as I really loved the actual content. Surely there is a preset to copy and paste on footage so it doesn’t look grey…
@@africanotomotiv That makes sense about Sam not having the time,with his busy then schedule... but my point IS,the crew not making as great of a job as Sam does,to begin with... and hiring a crew,is what's at least expected,don't you think? 🤷♂
@@tunes4life I hear you, but consider: Sam is a self-made, self starter. He's melded his passion for cars, love for creating video and developed a product (that is his content). He understands what it is he's creating; focusing time, energy and resources to achieve his objective. On the other hand, individuals (handy with camera gear) being offered the opportunity to be crew on a prestigious event, where high end cars are involved; may not be as invested in the outcome. If that makes sense.
I must say, I love how you did a restoration on the car and then actually drove it, many people would have been too scared to damage it again and because of that not enjoy the car.
Great coverage Sam, nice to have dinner with you and Tony on Wednesday - we finished 2nd Brit, in 40th place - the FF took some hammer as well, finished with 2 buckled front wheels, and the air conditioning failed on the drive back!! The drive into Rome for us was amazing - Guy has posted on his Instagram
Sam, I am absolutely gobsmacked at how you managed to juggle (kind of) ill-tempered Tony, the camera work AND either speed up or slow down for the sectors! I would have lost my mind! By the way, where did you finish in the standings? You progressed nicely all through out, save Siena of course. I have an invitation to go next year, so I wonder if you could either recommend it or advise me to stay home and eat gelato. Another FANTASTIC video, mate! Your enthusiasm is contagious. We beg for more videos….
Thx for showing us the last part of your MM experience. It is mega and only possible in Italy. However the tribute (started by Ferrari in 2010) has expanded into more tribute's lately. For me was the first tribute (5x Enzo, 2x F50, dozen F40's and 599GTO's, 16M's) the most impressive as many owners waited decades to take part in this Rally, using modern cars (not pre '57). It was really heaven as at the beginning years the tribute drove exactly the same route as the classics. Now days the tribute starts/overnights at different locations and therefore as "tribute driver" you miss out on the classic rally, unless you drop down and fall behind as you experienced... So Sam, next year. Startup the 360 and drive within the classics. I did this as a support car in a 458. The support we had: 1x tube-valve-lid ;-) Down-side of this mega open-air-car-party.... The costs $$$$. It is (for normal people) really expensive to participate. Not only the starting fee, overnight costs and fuel. But transports of your car, insurance and possible damage to your car (as you have) For a privateer (no tax write-off) it is heaven and hell but an once in a lifetime experience (of mostly dutchies, notice the license-plates on the cars....) PS The same "open-air-party" is in Sicily - Targa Florio, last won in '72 by a Dutchie, Gys van Lennep and has also a Ferrari Tribute driving parts of the racetrack. Different as experience but a hell of a party too (not so massive as MM)
Also, I hope you don't forget to tell us where you guys placed in the amount of cars of the rally. I hope you did improve on that 42nd position or if not, at least you were in the middle pack for a portion of the time, which there's nothing wrong with that at all, especially for an older car
@@reuben.mathew2 Thx, It is in the Ferrari tribute possible to win as "not Italian". However the MM it self has never been won by a "non Italian" since the start of the "modern MM". As you know The King winner ever of the MM-race was Sir Stirling Moss. Incredible how fast he has driven (av. +100Mph) the 1000Miles looking at road conditions in '55 (less traffic)
The scene (and music) of entering Siena,was probably the most magical piece of filming of all your videos. Also..viva italia! An event like this ,with so many enthusiastic spectators everywhere and high speed police escorts through cities ,wouldn't probably be possible in any other country..
Absolutely brilliant content Sam! There’s no one else who’s tried to do this with limited resources and managed to make it entertaining and funny and still encapsulate the madness that is “Mille Miglia”
Congrats on the trip! always loved your enthusiasm, it's just a shame Tony's lack of enthusiasm/happiness really did show through on the camera. I'd rather be sat in a Ferrari, in traffic, in italy, in beautiful weather, around beautiful cars than at my desk in rainy England.
I really enjoyed this trip with you and Tony as it's not something I will ever do in person but it felt like I was there if that makes sense, Awesome content from you guys and the camera crew have to have a mention too.
I love this channel, it exposes me to really amazing and entertaining content that I would never know anything about because Sam is like an embassador to the 1%. for middle class gear heads from America like me
This is some of the best TH-cam content I have seen in a long time, well done Sam for doing it. Please do the Mille again, maybe with a V12? Looking forward to the podcast on this.
Arguably the most entertaining video I've ever watched on You Tube.. You have absolutely nailed the content of this trip. Well done to you both on getting to the end. Huge respect for filming at the same time. That must have been such stress!! Top drawer pal!
Loved the adventure. I wish each part would've been twice as long! We need more main channel content with you and Tony going on these kinds of adventures. You're great together on the podcast and so entertaining together in these videos! Can't wait for the next one!
Your channel is so under appreciated Sam, the cinematography is just amazing to watch, i think you should try a project / build series to modify a car. I would love to follow you along on that journey
You pretty much deserve an award for such quality content Sam. This is really awesome, there is a lot of work in planning, shooting, editing and caring about your audience and it shoes ! Thanks a lot, please keep up the good work and take care of yourself ! :D
Thank's for your effort and sacrifice Sam, we know that is "does" take quite a lot of coordination, money, logistics, money and money to have produced such a beautiful program letting us "be" with you and fearless Tony inside the car experiencing something that we will never even dream of doing........cheers and thanks!!!!
360 did an amazing job getting you both to the finish line. Your engine worked so hard, deserved a cool off in the shade. Well done to you and Tony 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Truly enjoyed this episode traveling with you! (B roll crew footage was fuzzy and sparse. Your footage was clear and colorful). “Grumpy Cat” was entertaining…..you may want to keep some Gelato in a portable cooler inside the car with you next time.
Feel bad that I had to save this video for a week until I could watch it on my PC but it was worth it! Awesome job to the pair of you for those special stages and just getting to the finish line, also to you and your camera men on this adventure, these videos have been brilliant to watch.
Sam has done it again, nobody on TH-cam has such unique content and with this quality.
Agreed, people like TGE should look and learn from Sam, TGE has absolutely no idea about relevance and quality and is fast becoming totally irrelevant and will give up his subscribers
Totally agree with you
That’s why Seen Through Glass is my favourite automotive TH-cam channel!
Really? Wasn’t it quite boring?
💯
What an amazing series; Sam just keep getting better and better. Compare this to JWW’s insurance sponsored borefest and you can see who the real creative TH-camrs in the space are . Congrats!
There really is no comparison between the 2 - which is why I unsubscribed from jww about 18 months ago ( he has got too unrelatable )
The problem for me with JWW are his posing and ego, both of which are totally out of control. I checked out of his channel two years ago or more.
What a second! You're telling me you don't want to hear "Spot of context" 100 times per video????
I used to like JWW but it’s just a big ego advertisement at this point
Insurance sponsored borefest 😂😂😂
I've given up with Archie and TGE. They don't do enough with their cars. Well Done Sam
Love how Sam has to ask Tony for the speed… EVERY TIME! :-)
@@lukemallory7832 yes he does. But the question is, why he doesn't do it without beeing asked 🤣
@@rfracing964 Yeah,wondered that too, lol
The 🐐of car TH-camrs .... Yourself, Latebreak show and Harry,s garage are head and shoulders above everyone else 👍❤️
Glad you finished with a positive day 3 and felt good about it overall. Thanks, Sam, for keeping with the event and appreciating it.
Lesson learned.
1. Keep up
2. Prepare ahead of time, and
3. Choose your partner carefully. A positive can-do attitude, plus someone who will take the time to have a driver's license, consider their role and prep would make all the difference. And then stop whining.
Never take a trip with buzzkill people.
Looks like an amazing event. Glad to see you could enjoy being a part of it in your own car. Great vid.
Awesome vlog. Nice to see Sam enjoy the journey with his grumpy dad. The chase team absolutely felt like they did nothing.
hahaha the episode should be "how to get around Italy with a grumpy old man" hahahaha!!!
Well done boys!!
Stirling Moss's record beaten at last !
Haha that would have been me. Tony just highlights what a positive and bubbly personality Sam is. I got the impression they didn’t both enjoy the MM in the same way 😂
Awesome, thank you for taking us along the adventure Sam, a fantastic series. Amazing scenery and cool B-roll footage. Love it👍

This is right up there, in the same league as Drive the World. Great content and cinematography. Can’t wait for another long trip video.
Thank you again for the opportunity to partner with you, Sam. Wonderful edit.
Incredible! The part where you’re sat in the restaurant at the end of day three reminded me of the end of top gear challenges. Keep it up!
Glad Tony was feeling grateful for the opportunity and appreciation of invite 😂 great video as always!!!

This is the best TH-cam content by far. Bravo, Sam and Tony 👏🏼👏🏼
These two videos were some of the best TH-cam produced in a long time. It was such fun to watch. Felt like an adventure.
Looking forward to this all week!
Exclusive event, and the Ferrari smashed it - thanks so much for this
Brilliant, Wallace and Gromit made it without killing each other!
Great vid. That 360 sounds soo good under load!

all the struggles don't matter, this is a dream experience!
Gelatio is bonkers, 10 years since was in Rome! Bonkers videos and podcast I wants more of you two out on the roads! So bring those LIKES!
Fair play to you both for a cracking insight of a classic rally. Respect.

Ferrari all the way!! 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹
Hey Sam…you have nailed it yet again…brilliant as always.
The part with the police escort was amazing! what a chap!
Epic lads, just epic. Thank you both - that was lovely to watch the series of videos. Really amazingly well done.
Fantastic event. Need to see Tony driving next year in a Ferrari of his choice. Come on Tony make it happen.

That was great... you've inspired me to... fly to Italy and sit in one of those cafe's for a whole day during the event!
What an incredible story. So glad you did and documented this
Smiles all the way for me. Thanks for capturing this adventure for us. Beautiful work from you and the team

Sam,
If I wasn't subscribed already for a very long time I would have hit the button now. These 2 videos covering the rally were fantastic 👏
Those special stage parts would put me off doing the event, but it was great to follow along with you guys as you do the MilleMiglia!
This was excellent creative work Sam, such high quality. You can be really proud of this one
This has been a fantastic series and I wish there had been more. Awesome content Sam and Tony.
Amazing Episodes! Thanks for sharing!
Just to let you know - they finished 45th overall and Tony's actual name is Anthony :D
Quality Sam - loved it.. you’re due some R&R now, we’ll allow you!
Really really enjoyed these few videos sam well done on what must of been a fantastic. It exhausting experience to document
That was beautiful to watch. Congrats Sam and Tony on an incredible adventure
Sam and Tony make me laugh! You guys are great 👍!
Glad you 2 had some fun!
17:40 min - my favorite part.👍
Listen to those gear ⚙️ shifts!!
I really love this content.Thanks for taking us with you on the 1000 miglea! Top channel! 👌
360 did an amazing job getting you both to the finish line.
Your engine worked so hard, deserved a cool off in the shade.
Well done to you and Tony
👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Absolutely loved these Mille Miglia videos, particularly getting to see the ups as well as the downs (and also the candid Aperol moment!)
Truly enjoyed this episode traveling with you! (B roll crew footage was fuzzy and sparse. Your footage was clear and colorful). “Grumpy Cat” was entertaining…..you may want to keep some Gelato in a portable cooler inside the car with you next time.
Absolutely loved an insight into your Italian adventure... top class thanks
Sam, you and Baldrick did a great job
Saw Tony a few years back in Amsterdam RLD, tbe bloke was an absoloute animal, such respect.
Well that fits.
In and out of windows like a Dog on heat
Very cool experience, Sam.
the support camera from outside was dirty I assume.. wish they checked all the time (like you did).... otherwise, the content is amazing all always!
No filters used by the looks of it either... poor effort,unfortunately...
An excellent video Sam, well done! Thoroughly enjoyed it... as I do all your videos.
Fabulous! Thanks for bringing us along on the Journey 😊
really enjoyed this. Thanks Sam and Tony for the insight in to an amazing event.
Ideal watching whilst waiting for Silverstone.
I usually try to do the third day route early in the morning.
Awesome awesome awesome!! How cool to see you experience this amazing event!! Give your 360 some TLC and can't wait what's up next

This is awesome. You guys have way better chemistry than the car guys at the moment
Kudos to you Sam (and kudos to you Craggers) for incred filming pal
Love the 360 Sam, especially that noise!
Such a brilliant real world view of this event…you guys painted the highs and lows perfectly 👍
Tony would be an awesome comedian..Its priceless for me cause I didn't pay.😂😂😂..content is amazing Sam..ty for bringing us along
These eps have been great! In fact, all the road trips you do with your own cars, and the 360 especially are top!
Whatever your editor is making, they should make more. Brilliant stuff guys!
Superb Sam - brilliant content!
Definitely the podcast on tour!
Wow what an experience, that must have been epic having the escort. I think that’s a very respectable result, weld done on your 1st rally 🍻
I love the insta 360 angles they make your car look epic.
Brilliant Sam and Tony… priceless content 😎🇮🇹
