- We hope you enjoyed the second part of this road trip! Thanks to Shell for sponsoring it, find out more about Shell V-Power Unleaded here: bit.ly/DriveTribe-Shell-H2
After Richard Hammond showed Mike Fernie his favourite strip of Tarmac, it's now Mike's turn to guide Richard up to Scotland to experience one of the greatest roads in the UK. It's a very different recipe to Richard's Buttermere road, but will allow both supercharged V8s to properly sing.

More videos like this, please.
You should do a road trip between Hammond's Impreza and your Mondeo ST.
I heard a rumour the Mondeo is no more
@@fatbobe1986 Oh. That's sad.
@@HenryBrooke1998 it is 🙁
@@fatbobe1986 why, what happened to it?
@@daniellyons7190 accident I believe. I hope I've been misinformed
You should definitely be making more content like this, it also gives people from other countries, like me, the opportunity to get to know the roads of the UK
They are roads, what do you needs to know?
I agree more like this!
I think this is kinda where it stops for the two of them, being the nature of the why they chose the roads. But it would be cool/funny to see Hammond driving May’s favorite road or Clarkson’s favorite stretch.
Very well said. I LOVED this.
and why would WE want YOU to know where OUR best roads are - so that they then become congested.
Hammond describing memorizing the road then going through it in your mind to fall asleep, being able to pick whichever car you want, is something I didn't know I wanted.
currently nearly midnight and I can't sleep, off to kent I go in mu st225😊
I love how done with everything Hammond looks when the bagpipes comes on.
That was superb. I found it very reminiscent of the early Top Gear/Grand Tours specials with the boys messing about but also sharing the incredible scenery. More please! 🙂
Nailed it 😎
and moments and insights and some explanation of things and thought's, so lovely
Yes, absolutely more road trip content like this! These road trip videos harken back to the top gear and grand tour specials, and it’s a joy to watch. I think Richard was onto something when he suggested doing something like this with an older car. It would be interesting to see some of the other cars from the smallest cog do a road trip.
This is the best thing Drivetribe has ever made. Bravo
I know this was just a 2 part show but I'd watch more of these. Mike and Richard are a perfect team
Supercharger noises are some of the best sounds the motoring world will ever know. I also agree with all the other comments about how we love this series. Well done!
Violins and supercharger noises was a unexpectedly pleasant mix, awesome montage for the Duke's pass section and overall amazing production quality and cinematic, props to the entire team
Kudos to Mike and the crew for these absolute gems of films in this road trip
That was cool. Never been to Scotland so anything where they show it is a pure pleasure.
The NC500 is the best road trip in the uk, absolutely amazing. Go every year, never gets old and there’s so much to see
Except its bumper to bumper these days unfortunately
Worst thing that's ever happened to this part of the country.
@@jamesmacd
I did the NC500 over a week in September 2021, after being shut indoors since April of the previous year. The missus and I took our Octavia VRs, which comfortably chewed up the miles.
It was absolutely one of the defining periods of my life. No joke. To have been stuck inside for the majority of the previous year, it was the perfect setting to reinvigorate yourself. With the restrictions still being quite tough, and many people still too scared to venture further than the local chippy, the entire route was very quiet, the only real pain being the occasional camper van doing 12mph up uphill in 2nd lol
I think every car/driving enthusiast should have it on their bucket list, as it is genuinely one of the most beautiful and thrilling sections of road in the world.
@@robinhadley when it comes to tourists and camper vans yes, but backpacking and wild camping I feel is a bit different. I'm allowed to travel in my own country freely
@@jamesmacd the north east 250 is an amazing drive as well, and no where near as busy
I really enjoy the scenic roadtrips ive been a fan of it since they started doing little bits on Top Gear.
Thank you for this series! All to short in my opinion, also great drone footage.
Glad you like them!
I feel genuinely blessed to have lived in Scotland for most of the past 25 years. The Dukes Pass looks stunning, but I don’t think anything will top the A93 on a sunny day for me. Was lucky enough to drive it most weeks visiting the fiancé as she was back then in Blairgowrie from my home in Lossiemouth. Via the Dava moors road too for extra grin factor
Mike’s decisions to play bagpipes upon entering Scotland followed by provision of copious amounts of Irn Bru was magnificent to watch. More of these trip videos please!
I spent 25 years living and driving Perthshire roads like this one and there are many, many more that are worthy of a Drivetribe video, from the blast around loch Rannoch to the step back in time from Amulree to Kenmore via Glen Quaich. Even the more mainstream A822 from Crieff through the Sma' Glen is pretty dramatic. Or over the shoulder of Ben Lawers to Glen Lyon, something that is more terrifying done in a landrover than a mini as the extra height makes the drop offs seem that bit more dangerous :D
Pt 2 did not disappoint- 100% you’ve got to do more road trip style content!
As soon as Mike mentioned Stirling, I knew it was going to be the Duke’s Pass. What a piece of road that is. I’ve driven it three times, once in the dark which was interesting but yes that for me stuck in my memory as being one of the best roads I’ve driven. The best part is the winding up the hill from Aberfoyle, but once you get past the Ben A’an car park then past Loch Venachar it becomes a bit rougher and narrower. Glad to see it gets the recognition!
Having family there thought "is that Aberfoyle?!" from the shots at 6:30 onwards, and then obviously realised they were going to dukes pass.
Maybe I'm spoiled with having driven it too many times but don't feel like it's quite the revolutionary experience they describe here.. best part is definitely the first half up the hill past the visitor center etc as you say.
I loved this series. Mike and Richie have a great dynamic between them.
Yes!! I knew it was going to be the Dukes Pass..... Excellent Choice! I love that road 😍 Hard working drive but so rewarding in the right car.
Personally I prefer Callander to Fort William,although I've not done the pass for a while.
As someone who knows Richard Hammond since early Top Gear days I have to say I am stunned how connected to nature and how...whats the word...philosophical Hampster has become in his talking about the car as a instrument to connect people with places. And as someone from Germany who has visited all of Scandinavia and Iceland I have to say: This landscape, I got to see in the videos of drivetribe (and the guys from car throttle driving the nc 500) is absolutely stunning. I have to visit this magnificant country.
I grew up just West of Glasgow in a small village and learnt to drive on roads like this. So glad I had a Peugeot 205 as my first car and no cell phone. 30+ years later and living over 4,000 miles away now I still remember some of them. Thanks for making these videos, brought back to mind some fun times
Definitely more road trip content like this, loved it. Especially as its UK based
I'll be taking my 1932 Morris Minor Two-Seater from my home in the south Midlands to the Scottish Highlands towards the end of the month. Should take me two days to get north of Glasgow and into the Highlands. It's definitely going to be the most challenging road trip of my life so far, but I can't wait to hit the road and head north.
You and Hammond should do a Tour of the North of Scotland, this two part series has been amazing and I'd love to see more 😎
I remember the first I went to Dukes Pass! It was midnight, and I couldn't really see much in front, but the lovely notes of the 4GR singing away under the bonnet of my IS250 were just simply splendid. I'm so glad that it's only a 40 min journey from home, it's a very special road for me as well.
I visited the Dukes Pass twice today. Once with my sister and brother in law, a lovely scenic drive. I then went up, in a modded VW Golf GTI, driven by my nephew. He knows this road so well. What a day!
Thank you for coming to our village and up dukes pass and also it was very nice to have experienced all of you at our Pub
wish I was driving along with you guys
One of the best and most elaborate Shell V-Power adverts I've ever seen since part one.
Mike is living his best life and I love it! Going on a road trip with Hammond would be incredible
The Dukes pass is now on my radar. My personal favourite stretch of road is currently Tyndrum to Oban. Great video guys.
More road trips and pub chats please!!!! This content is stellar!
I’m sad. I recognised Aberfoyle before they turned right up the hill. It is a stunning road.
Me too, the secret is now out…😢
OH YESSSS !!!! is the clear (and probably obvious) answer to your question at the end !
you are really taking us on the journey WITH YOU. and for 20 minutes or so I completely forget I'm sitting at my desk watching a screen. just wonderful.
Didn't really expect to be this early. But thanks for giving me a video to take my mind off things :)
Homesick alert!! I was born and raised in Scotland but now live in Florida. I love videos like this for the scenery, the filming, the banter. Keep it up gents, would love to see far more in the future.
This series gave me goosebumps. I love the Top Gear crew
Really like this sort of content. Need to do one of these for Clarkson's favorite road and May's favorite road too.
Clarkson never seems to contribute much to this channel so I don't see that happening. Hopefully May would get involved though.
@@HendrickT-bi4iw Yeah I don’t really know why he’s so against this kind of content
@@joshuaspeedy4780 In Clarkson's defense he just seems like a GENUINELY busy man, and doesn't really have a whole lot of free time to contribute to a channel like this.
Thank you Shell 🐚 for making this possible.
Hammond talks about motoring skills, and that's what it's all about, for me anyway. Getting from point A to B in an appliance of a vehicle is fine, but there's a sense of joy and pride in driving well and doing so on a fabulous road in an enjoyable car.
A 10" wheeled Mini would be fun along that road. Smiles per miles, 11/10.
What a stunning series of videos. It captures what I love so dearly in car culture. The personal insight on why each road was special was beatiful and had goosbumps the whole time. More like this please!
There is so much romance in the way Richard talks about driving and roads and cars it’s moving.
Yes please more road trips you two are great together
Scenery is great also
I'm loving the whiskey glass analogy. I'm appropriating it, and making it my own!
Awesome. I really enjoyed seeing where Hammond took us, but I was hoping Mike didn't disappoint with the Scottish selection. I was brought up in Gartmore, just 3 miles away from the Duke's Pass. I've many similar driving roads in my repertoire, but the Duke's Pass is my No1
This was the most top gear thing since top gear! So much nostalgia from this. More please!
More Road Trip content? Absolutely yes!!!
Loved this series
Definitely MORE contents like this,pretty PLEASE!!! As the bond between you and Richard, is definitely developing into something special... loving the chilled, personal attributes to the vlog, roads, person. Annnnd the views...Wow the views!!!
As a Canadian biker/car enthusiast, this road has been on my bucket list since age 20. Thanks for the great video, will make it someday 🤞
Been back and forward on that road 100 times. I completely Agree with Mike, its a fabulous drivers road. love it. Had a Saxo VTR, back in the day, was great fun up there.
I love the road trip idea and that it doesn't have to be a competition. It can be just showing off great places a lot of people don't know exist
I dont really know why, but the bagpipes scene at the end nearly made my heart warm and my eyes teared up. ❤ More of these please. ❤
Wow. Mike can play the Bagpipe. Very cool. Nice Mini Series, woulndt mind more of it.
Yes,more road trips! Please!
Something else that contributes to the "Favorite Road" experience is the soundtrack, both car and music!!
Brilliant guys. Defiantly more of these. You can see you and Hammond genuinely get one Great to watch.
This video was brilliant, best one yet. As a Scottish expat living abroad it gave me goosebumps looking at the beautiful scenery we have on our door steps. I used to love driving in the highlands.
Watching this just makes me miss my time in Scotland even more. Took a trip up there last year in my m3 with a bunch of friends and had the best time ever.
Dukes pass is just something else. Went on the road heading up to Ben A'an in-between rain showers in October last year.
Ron here, from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. (Born and raised in Nova Scotia aka. New Scotland)
I can definitely attest to the virtues of Shell Premium V-Power fuel.
(FYI I am NOT being paid by Shell… I WISH!!)
Years ago I bought my first Toyota Corolla, I had that car for 13 years, hey it’s a Toyota.
Never had any problems with it outside of regular maintenance, other than parts wearing out as the car got closer to 300,000 Km.
At around year 10 the eng started to feel quite sluggish and I thought for sure it was at the end. However, a friend of mine told me to watch a CZcams video by Scottie Kilmer (an honest mechanic) who talked about the virtues of Shell Premium V-Power gasoline (Petrol) on high mileage engines.
I decided to try it and after just two tank fulls of the stuff my engine was running like new!!
When I finally sold my Corolla after 13 years (and it sold rather quickly) it was still running like a clock at 340,000 Km.
(And no, I’m not being paid by Toyota either. 😢)
No word of lie, that Shell V-Power fuel cleaned my poor little old Corolla out like an entire box of Ex-Lax!!! 😂👍🏼
BTW I LOVE bagpipe music, grew up with it in Nova Scotia.
Brilliantly done, Mike! It was so joyful to watch you both doing this road trip. And to answer your question: yes, more like this pretty please. I really start to like those more intimate films here more than those big tgt-spacials. And I enjoy seeing you growing into an equal presenter to Hammond. And having you, I think Hammond also gained back a certain honesty and accessibility. Very very cool!
YES! More of these trips with you two, please, with as many great cars and roads as you can! Lovely stuff.
I grew up a couple of villages away from Aberfoyle and have known this road for years - it's a cracking drive.
As for roads go, I remember the Stelvio. That was incredible. Richard, did you ever think a perfect country road could be that close to home, for you to drive and experience?? Great and gorgeous drive guys. Thanks.
Stelvio is extremely overrated 😀
Beautiful view, but the drive is nothing desirable. If you have the opportunity to do it sure, but don't expect any dream drive.
Same goes for Furka.
Both bumpy with campervans.
+1 .. Gotta luv the scenery throughout the Road Trip ... Do more guys.. Cheers, Vail, Colorado
Rode this road today on my motorbike. Absolutey unreal! Has never heard of them discover it’s only an hour away. I’ll be back!
Wow! The Scottish Highlands are stunning!
Yes, please do more of this content!
Cars are amazing. Driving them is amazing. And now I want to go for a drive myself. And maybe visit this part of Scotland one day.
both of the videos were a great watch. really enjoyed the sceneries. would love to drive down these roads one day
I'm with Hammond in this one.. Late 80s or early 90s hot hatch on that road would be awesome!
Absolutely amazing, you knew which day of the year it doesn't rain in Scotland.
Absolutely more of this! This pair of videos have such a vibe to them. Proper work chaps, loved it!
That was an amazing 2 parter across 2 stunning roads, totally not jealous at all. Taking any car along either would be simply outstanding and those views, just wow.
I grew up going camping and fishing around that area and been driving it since i was 17. Such an amazing road, and yes its also my favourite !
More, definitely more! Thank you guys!
Would love to see more road trips. Love this content. Great to see both show a bit of personal stuff. Also love the editing on this series too.
Utterly superb. More road trip content between you two! Mike seems so much more at ease around Richard as well.
This is without a doubt one of the best roads I have ever drove on. The dukes pass is incredible and it literally test any drivers ability. Definitely a top 5 road for me. Love having roads like this out my back door.
I know my favourite road, Have done since i was about 10. Im 33 now and its never changed. A466 from Monmouth to Chepstow❤
I have to give some extra attention to the exelent filming. All the wievs, close ups, drone flying. Then how wonderful the editing were made. Have to give the crew 5/5 thumbs!
😎👍👍👍👍👍
Just watched both parts back to back. Would love to see more of this type of content!
This is why I love the Drive Tribe, videos like this brings you back to the og Grand Tour and even the old Top Gear.
Scotland. THE most majestic and mightiest of these British Isles. This englishman salutes you. Just magnificent.
Richard is 100% a philosopher at heart.
YES. More roadtrip videos like these!
What a beautiful road, without detracting from the glory that is Scotland - it's very familiar to me because I live in New Zealand.
Absolute goosebumps, tears and joy. Incredible piece of video content.
I'd love to see you do another road trip anywhere, but next time in a Ford Focus RS. The A940 is very pretty and very special driving road between Grantown-on Spey and Forres. I love Scotland btw.
Absolutely brilliant. Love the two parter.
Fabulous photography!
Yes! More please ❤
I love this! It’s been my favourite driving road since I was 17/18 too. Literally had an early finish at work the other day and took my m140i up for a blast it’s phenomenal
This video brought back so many memories for me! And it’s amazing that we have the same favourite road back home in Scotland. I drove this road the day after past my driving test when I was 17!
Loved these! Yes some more of these would be great along with the already wonderful content! Thanks to Both of you and your teams!
This is some of the best content you've made. Love the running gag with the pipes. More of this please!
Loving these. Mike and Richard just work.....MORE PLX
That car is gorgeous
Which
Not sure which one you’re talking about because I don’t that applies to either
Thank you both for this wonderful two-parter! Over here in Canada, we're anxiously awaiting car season to start, so that we can get our cars out and hit the road like this. Gotta love a relaxing, scenic drive! 😎 👍
