    I take my new Jaguar F-Type R to the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria. This is one of the most famous and best roads in the Alps, but one I have never driven so I wake up early to check it out.

    The scenery may be spectacular but it takes a skilled person to capture and convey it as well as you have. Seriously impressive production!
    I'm going to have to watch this more than once!

  • @maxflame21
    @maxflame21 Před rokem +24

    Sam, Ive been watching your channel and podcast for years, but I drifted away from the content a couple years back. The reasoning is, as you described on the podcast, the feeling of chasing CZcams's algorithm. However, over the last six months your content has became next level and almost addictive. Brilliant work and I'm excited for your next adventure!

  • @BeBarnee
    @BeBarnee Před rokem +29

    Beautiful video! I love this place! I remember coming here when I was 10 years old. The top of the road was covered with snow even in August, and the Glacier ran all the way down. It's kinda sad to see how little of it is left, but what can you do. I can attest that during daytime the road can be really busy, so it's best to go up really early or really late for the sunset.

    Stopping so often for photos reminds me of hiking in Yosemite. Just when you thought you have the best view, you hike another 100 yards and it’s better, and then again in another 100 yards. So good.

  • @DestroyerGT
    @DestroyerGT Před rokem +3

    Having been there the last 3 summers with my SLK, this video, as good as it is (and it is very good) doesn't do it justice. I agree with you, you really have to go there yourself. On a small note: the Edelweißspitze is actually the highest point at 2500+ meters and the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe (the place next to the glacier) is slightly lower at 2300+ meters.

  • @Coffeedrinkerer
    @Coffeedrinkerer Před rokem +1

    Loving the content on this channel in combination with the podcasts. They’re both evolving into something that is a big part of my routines. You don’t waste my time, and whilst I recognise this is your business that needs ads etc I don’t feel like it’s a sales pitch all the time like some CZcamsrs. I think you’ve struck the perfect balance. I don’t want to criticise other CZcamsrs but TGE nowadays is almost comical with the level of ads and sponsors it makes me feel like I’m watching a contestant ad. This is the honest and entertaining automotive content I really enjoy! So thanks!

      @EconomicsMate1 Před rokem

      @@stewartparsons50 for starters, the south coast of NSW from Sydney is amazing as it is. The roads through the mountains and hills are very scenic and the roads are great. But you want to try the more mountenous areas around the Great dividing range and the ocean roads for the best experience. Once you go outside the major cities in any state really is where you'll find the best roads

    Cracking video Sam. Been watching your videos for many years and I'll be honest to admit I dip in and out (usually having a bit of a binge catch-up). Just want to say how much I appreciate videos like this where you are doing this completely solo. I imagine it can get quite lonely sometimes doing things like this so genuinely appreciate you sharing these adventures with us.
    Keep it up. We love it. ✌️

    Thank you so much Sam. We were in Salzburg a few years ago in May and this was on our itinerary but it was still closed due to snow. Thankfully the website has a live feed and tells you if it's likely to be closed or open for the day so we were spared a wasted journey. However, I was bitterly disappointed to have missed out and now... well I'm in two minds. I've now seen what we missed (so thank you) but am also more determined than ever to get back to see it again!!!

    You're rapidly becoming one of my favourite carchannels man.
    Besides the obviously incredible productionvalue, the great cars and drives, there's something else about your videos.
    Something that breaaathes and ooooozes car-enthusiast, something that I recognize my own inner-child in, my own car-fanatic.
    Watching your videos always makes me want to get into my car and drive, and that's the core of what a carvideo really should be about I think.
