I actually like how you’re driving a few different cars in between the Porsche being shipped to the next continent. This will be great!
Mike Sheehy If I would do a world tour, I would actually try to drive a different car in every country, specific to that country.
Corvette in US, Aston in UK, Ferrari in Italy.
Actually with my budget, it would be a Dodge in the US, a Fiat Panda in Italy, Mini in UK, but you get the idea:)
Zoltán Juhász this idea is actually sweet! It’d be cool to use every flagship GT car from each respective country (if money is no option) but I’d happily ship my Jag anywhere and use that as a primary distance runner like Sam’s 911.
Racing Ray is an absolute Gent
His enthusiasm was infectious!!
A pure petrolhead in his natural habitat
Seems a top bloke!
That blue of the Bentley 🤗
Zealand is so awsome..
Its also JDM Heaven.
TheS1PikesPeak LOTS of JDM here
Otis Horne i know, I saw the Movie Series from The Smoking Tyre. And some other Movies..
TheS1PikesPeak have you visited?
Otis Horne sadly no..to expensive now, maybe in a few years.
@@TheS1PikesPeak plenty of car stuff to see id go around the weekend of the 4 and rotary nationals and if thats not your thing beachhop is usually around the same time plus Hampton downs race track usually has something going on!
Anyone else gives STG videos a thumbs up before watching the film just because you already know how good it will be?
Greetings from Calgary 🇨🇦
Victor Boguszewicz Go Flames!!! From Finland :)
New Zealand is amazing, i much preffered it to Oz when i went to that part of the world. The scenery is incredible and the people super cool.👍
You're one of very few car youtubers who actually comes across as a car enthusiast.
After admitting he didn't know much about cars, that's an odd comment.
@@resnonverba137 That's why I said enthusiast and not expert.
@@w-james9277 So, to follow your logic, you think other CZcamsrs who clearly know far more about cars than Sam aren't car enthusiasts?
@@resnonverba137 Can you give me some examples?
@@w-james9277 I could do but I shouldn't have to as it was you that made the comment. Very well, first three to mind are Chris Harris, JWW and Shmee.
In the South island make sure to do Wanaka to Queenstown via the Crown Range road.....a drivers dream day out , also Milford sound is a Must visit destination.you can fly from queenstown if no time for a 600km round trip.Due to narrow, twisty, hilly roads in S.I. a 2 litre hatch is the most fun.................enjoy.In Christchurch check out Autothority a sort of Kiwi Singer.a lap of the port hills in a caterham 7 , is another dream drive- South island is a drivers paradise....
Agree - live down here and did QT yesterday.
Also the Catlins. Seriously good roads down there, provided you don't accidentally find yourself on gravel. (I love gravel but that's just me)
The road to milford is awesome, but I wouldn't recommend driving it now. Too many tourists driving into each other these days.
Devil's staircase is fantastic if you get a clear run, I've averaged 104km/h across there in a diesel starlet, so that's a good target to try beat lol.
South island is incredible.
As an Englishman, if i had to choose a different accent, the New Zealand accent would be top of my list. Just sounds so good, especially when talking with enthusiasm!
Moved to NZ from the UK 6 years ago. Wait until you hit the South Island. If you can, take the West coast road and take the road down towards the North end of Lake Wanaka - it dives between Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea and the view from the top genuinely changed my life. The mountain roads are fantastic. Enjoy the Crown Range in between QT and Wanaka. Let me know if you need a place to crash.
For some reason the new Conti GT has been the best design or redesign in the car world of the last decade when it comes to sports- and luxury cars. Glad it gets some air time on your channel!
Kia ora old chap, if you're cruising around the waikato be sure to stop by Mobil waharoa on the graveyard shift, I'll shout you a coffee.
New Zealanders be like
Racing Ray seems like such a cool guy to have a talk with. Love the energy and the enthusiasm, also love the video’s of drivetheworld Sam!!
roses are red
violets are blue
i love seen through glass
and so do you
World speed record, on a public road with bumps and all, mad man! :D
The montage of driving through New Zealand in the end was one of the most beautiful things i have seen. Shows with millions of dollars of financing can not create such quality videos. Been here on the channel since 2nd day after buying 4C and it is really sad that subscriber amount got only about 200k subs in those 3-3.5 years. The content and quality of content on this channel is worth more than that. It is worth millions of dollars, pounds and euros and millions of subscribers. Keep doing such great job!
New Zealand is awesome, getting married in Queenstown in November and looking forward to using a Mustang GT around the roads there. Last time had a corolla and definitely was one of the best trips I've ever had. Hope you enjoy your stay there.
A mustang? Around qtown? Surely you'd be better off in something a little smaller and more nimble? 😂😂 Or a land rover. That seems to be the theme there....
@@douglaspealing5608 😂 wont stay there too long to hate the Mustang, plan is to drive to christchurch but look for some epic roads on the way there before flying out to Japan for the honey moon. Fingers crossed I won't regret the decision 😂
... life could be worse, you could still be driving around the Porsche Carrera 911T! Lol....a bright blue Conti GT might stand out a tad in NZ!
Rod Millen's place will blow you away! Enjoy the 2019 Leadfoot Festival! Certain to be more than a few poms around there!
Oh and you thought Australian wildlife was scary....and you thought the flies at the 12 Apostles were nasty...wait till you are introduced the the NZ sand fly! ...seems the Cicadas are even worse down there....good luck on catching some restful sleep!
Yes Bentley!
I normally love your car content (even the Porsche and Ferrari obsession) but did the cars in that video. New Zealand is without doubt the most diverse and stunning country in the world. Such a special place...enjoy!
Sam. We're loving this content. You're producing these videos, and the others for DTW whilst out there on the move all the time and somehow you're still firing out these vids. Loving this, thank you so much for bringing us content on car culture and social culture about other places all around the world. All the best. (I was sad about the 911T leaving, but having the bentley is cool, good shout with that)
Hey you went to our favourite water hole 5:25 we call it 'blue crush'. those rock walls are super fun to climb and jump off. the drive in may be short but the bump to get back on the road is a lot, i cant believe you did it in the GT. good on ya! also, i hope you're wearing sun screen, our sun is brutal
Another awesome day in the Life as Seen Through Glass, stunning scenery, loved Leadfoot and great to you both enjoying your ‘working holiday’
Welcome to Aotearoa. .it'll take your breath away with her natural beauty. What a chore driving the Bentley GT while in NZ 👍👍
New Zealand looks amazing. You can say “sweaty arm pits” we are all friends. 👍
Master class videography. Well done
Welcome to New Zealand sam, hope you love it even more than Australia ;)
Jackson Baas He won’t
Matthew Gamble don’t be so sure about that mate
Matthew Gamble well look at his first day in NZ, much more interesting than any of his days in Aussie 😂
@@Destroyah32 so more interesting than going ona boat with the coconut crew to a tropical island paradise, then coming home for a 50 car supercar drive 150km on perth's best roads and then a fan meetup.
Matthew Gamble Yes 😂 don’t be offended. Just my opinion
New Zealand is so much better than Old Zealand.
For a travel + motoring vlog the production quality is amazing. Sam you are truly raising the game for all car vloggers.
A week or two ago at Pauanui (NZ) we saw a couple of kids in their Dad’s blue Bentley GT at the shopping centre. I told my wife I might look at buying an older version of that GT. They’re pretty sharp. Hence my search for Bentley’s in You Tube. And low and behold... here are the kids we saw.
Fresh New Whip Ya Got There Sammy 😂😂
you are pure comedy when the Bentley bings or kicks off its air con at full blast....Brilliant...keep it up, enjoyin the tour with you Sam!!!
While there Sam try to get in contact with Graeme Crosby. He's a NZ national treasure. Former works Suzuki GP rider and a very special guy. He does all sorts of stuff now including making some just incredible re-engineering of older 70s bikes like the classic Kawasaki Z900. He's near Auckland and on FB but some people will know where he is.
Stop raving, get on with the Bentley!!! I live in NZ. Driving in this mountainous and hilly country with few people is an absolute blast!
do a video on the Bentley!
Glorfindel the golden He has allready done one a few months back
@@brambo014 True but this spec. looks spicy af!
That blue paint job and chrome combination on the Bentley is super nice 👍
Sam you will LOVE New Zealand. I'm a Brit and I live there 10 months of the year and 2 months back in blighty (usually in the cold!) - you need to get down to Mt Maunganui (by Tauranga) and down to Taupo via Rotorua (go across to Hawkes Bay) and then on the desert road down to Wellington before heading to the South Island, via the Southern Alps, which is more like rural Scotland and Switzerland together!! Oh and get down to Duttons Garage in Christchurch and ask them kindly to drive their special Ferrari's!! Enjoy!
Digging the monk look in the intro. Love watching your journey, videos and content are top notch! An inspiration to all of us to keep chasing our dreams.
Welcome to New Zealand, couple of things to watch for, people pulling out in front of you at junctions when you have nothing behind you! 70 kph round bends then 110 kph on straights! And corner warning signs are correct! Have a great time!
Nice view from 'Mount Hobson' at 01:39 🌳⛰
New Zealand reminded of Ol' England when I first landed there back in 1999.
That Ray Williams guy seems like a decent chap!
12:02 Clever guy...
I absolutely loved this video, probably my favorite video so far of drive the video, the editing and and cinematography was super clean and on point!
I'm Canadian. Just wanted to say New Zealand could be the most beautiful country in the world. Top 10 at the very least.
Anyone know where Sam is having a meetup in New Zealand???
I am from New Zealand, I love Sam's content and there is a Koenigsegg, LaFerrari and more cars here in the North Island.
Really enjoying this series Sam - what a great thing to experience. Racing Ray is a legend!!
The production value on this one is amazing, Sam. I don't know how you manage it in such a limited time. Keep it up! Hope to see you in Denmark.
Sam IMPORTANT !!! In NZ we have sandflies. They are mosquitos on steroids, make sure you get insect repellent.
Ull love New Zealand mate one of the best county’s in the world
Stunning. Perth, Australia, lessons to be learnt.
I have been really enjoying this Drive the World Series, nice to see different places and car cultures.
Blimey Sam slumming it there fella.. ha ha. Look forward to your NZ trip. Drive safe.
As a fellow Brit who was lucky enough to travel to New Zealand for work I must agree with you that it’s a fantastic country with breathtaking scenery. I also ended up driving down dirt roads trying to find a waterfall 😂
That is one awesome looking blue. Exactly the right balance if bright but still holds a quality of class.
Properly enjoy these videos Sam, so entertaining that your doing something so different to every other youtubers. Keep it up! 👍🏻
Hey Sam, welcome to nz and feel free to hit me up for some driving roads and a peek into the jdm car culture
Yesss Finally New Zealand! 👍🏻👍🏻🙏
At Hampton Downs, racetrack about 50 minutes south of Auckland, there is the McLaren Heritage Centre, basically a small museum of Bruce McLaren. It's definitely worth a look.
NZ people love the Ford Everest as well haha glad to see the cross of Calvery on Racing Ray's racing/jump suit. You need to "walk" with God when u going at high speeds 😅
I think New Zealand is the most beautiful country in the world. So glad Sam could make it there!
Bloody proud to call New Zealand home. Enjoy your stay Sam!
Cinematography and cars......this is your style....epic!!
Please let us know what it is like spending so much time in the Bentley. Most beautiful interior!!
Those cinematic shots wow wow wow!
NZ is incredible. Friendly people, amazing roads, stunning vistas. Food, beers and wines rock too. Enjoy.
14:34 Oh, and that intense sound, they are cicadas. Many, many cicadas. Noisy fuckers.
That car in that particular shade of blue is absolutely stunning!...
Such a great video, geez. This drive the world series is such a treat.
Welcome to our beautiful country man! Enjoy our world class roads
It was a pleasure meeting you at Leadfoot! All the best for the rest of your New Zealand leg of Drive the World, I cannot wait for your next video!
New Zealand is the greatest place I've ever seennnnnn
Great video and report on Leadfoot! Nice to have met you there!! Safe journey and keep it coming! Love your work. Cheers!
what a laugh! saw the car in hot water beach the other day. Had no idea you were the one driving it
CTB performance owns that black Ford GT, you saw a bit of their display as you where driving out with the henassey heritage addition mustang.
Great video, loving their Leadfoot festival, like getting back to the roots of a car festival and loving New Zealand.
I really like the drone cuts you did! Looked amazing!
Tired, but still had time for those drive by shots...I'm loving your dedication to this Drive the World series...I'm loving the content so far Sam.
Glad you are using different cars on you journey. Variety is always a good thing
I love New Zealand, people are friendly. I enjoyed my self very much.
What nice car to spend a few days in , great stuff
NZ has a crazy tuner culture.
This is a really enjoyable way to see automobiles in different country's, will be following your journey, best regards
RichardA
You absolutely killed it Sam!
Thank you!
This chaps mannerism, lisp, and phrases are just like Shmee's. Wouldn't be surprised if they are related.
That awkward moment when Sam doesn’t know who ROD MILLEN is 😂😂
I never heard that name in my life. Is he world famous? I think only famous in New Zealand.
I did lol at that
I had to google him as well, never heard of him.
Mate none of us know who he is either
😂 fucking millennials
You're not really in New Zealand yet. Come down South to See Burt. Looking forward to seeing you.
Ohh boi.... I actually never expect to see this car in here now! love Bentley the GT is beautiful
What a brilliant start to the New Zealand leg. Beautiful Bentley, that colour is really nice. Awesome scenery already and some excellent photography. Not sure how you are going to top day one! By the way, how did Racing Ray get on?
God fucking damn I love drive the world
That Ray Williams, what a lovely fella to listen to.😀
Racing Ray.what a lad
9:00 Robin Williams of the Car World. Such a fantastic personality.
I'm from NZ now living abroad, this video makes me wanna go back sooooo badly!!
If you go up the far northwest of the north island to the hokianga harbour you can do a barn find vlogg.
Welcome to NZ mate, hope you're enjoying it!
I once did a very similar "World Tour" to this. I drove my car to the airport, then I flew to another country, managed to borrow an awesome car from my Uncle, drove around, then *flew* to another part of the country, hired a car, then went elsewhere and, yup, hired yet another car. I had planned to stick my car in a metal box for 12 weeks so that I could use it for 5 days in one of the locations, but then realised how dumb that was.
Just an observation... That door on the Continental looks rather heavy haha!
Sam, I sincerely hope you are planning on visiting Christchurch. If you are you should definitely visit Auto Restorations. They’ve restored a lot of cars that have won the likes of Pebble Beach and Councours d’Elegance. My brother works there and could give you a tour.
A shame you weren't able to speak to Rod Millen. The guy is a legend!
Shame he didn't know who the fuck Rod Millen is tbh
Nice video.
That Hill- Climb event looks cool.
The Bentley also looks great.
