I know classics don’t get the RU-vid numbers but man do I enjoy watching you drive this era of car and I so hope it doesn’t deter you from buying one! We’d love to see it.
@@Car10121-s I love Shmee and laugh when he goes into a collection or museum and panning across all of the 1960’s cars to get to another new car. “Oh boy, another 911. Oh wow, it’s got a titanium ash tray”. That’s my thought bubble.
Supercars were cool in the 80s and 90s because they were rare and you never saw them and RU-vid etc didn't exist. Now every 5 seconds you see a video on an Aventador or some Ferrari or McLaren etc and it's old plus you see these cars a lot more in real life.
I know these trips take their toll but it’s hugely enjoyable just seeing a different scene. I’m really looking forward to the coast to coast US in only a Tesla with Tony. 😂
Porsche 60s-90s is just full of so many gems. As a long time fan, I’ve dreamed about the 3.6 turbo S slantnose cars. Regardless the numbers you get, thank you for making this video! What an amazing look into one of the most special porsche production specials of all time. Next up 964 turbo S 3.3 lightweight!!
I had the RS America (designed by Vic Elford, by the way) in that color and just loved it. The Turbo steering rack was the best I’ve ever experienced. I really think the 911 peaked, from a design standpoint, with the almost wearable sized cars. You always sensed what each wheel was doing, and you could reach back and locate your items (briefcase and so on) behind the seats while driving. It was like a rolling office. Oh, and that sound: just perfect.
A giddy little school boy - don’t ever change Sam, your enthusiasm is infectious. I can remember when you weren’t a Porsche fan - how times have changed and may I say for the better (for you and us!).
You can really see your passion for motoring come out in videos like this where you’ve got no expectations of a car but yet it blows you out of the water. You walk away with a permanent memory at the end of the day and a huge smile!
Im borderline obsessed with 60s design, in lots of things swell as cars. Sure it's easy to have rose tinted glasses and all, but it was a fascinating decade.
Dude, I genuinely love that this your job and the way you do it. Brings me so much joy! Also, I’d have such a hard time choosing one car from the last collection. So much special stuff, so many great cars to drive… boiling it down to two: 812 GTS & 911R!
I’d watch this over any koenigsegg video any day of the week! All that stuff has become meaningless flexing of cars that do very little and work very little
I for one really appreciate these videos - I could feel your genuine excitement in that dream garage! Excitement levels competing with Francois Bourgeois!
Saw this Flachbau in Monterey last August; its an incredible example! So cool that you could check it out, along with so many other sick Porsches. Love this content, dude, especially since it’s here in America lol
Lovely video Sam. Great seeing some houses and neighbourhood B-roll. 😎 Glad that car floated your boat. 964 Turbos are great cars. I had a pretty sorted 3.3 years ago. Lightly breathed on it produced just over 380bhp (up from 320bhp standard) which is enough. The 3.6 with X88 power kit option (my mate owned one that was later owned by Jenson Button) was 385bhp which I’m guessing that flat nose has, due to the 4 exhausts. Lovely old cars. Great road trip cars (took mine to France etc) but still fun on a B road. Get one bought. 😉
Crazy to see you start the video in my hometown! Would love to see you come back again next time and have a catch up after meeting at the BTG live show at Podium last year
Casual FXX on a lift surounded by boxes, is there anything cooler than that, well used and a bit dirty so much cooler than some zero miles car (posh paperweight) sat on a plinth.
I went to school with a guy whose father had one of these in his garage. I remember seeing it a few times. Incredible car. He ended up selling it a few years later
Wow sam great video of some realy nice collection. I will take any of them . But i think older cars being switched to manual is a no for me bc ur changing to munch away from what made that car what it was.
@seenthroughglass don’t feel too bad, Shmee walked right past one of these, calling it a 964, in a video a year or so ago he did on an indoor collection in Florida. It frustrates me when the more influential cartubers like you guys don’t know these important models, but only because I REALLY wanted to do make car videos myself.
I really didn't know about the 964 Turbo S Flachbau - now I know about it & nothing else edit: found "FLACHBAU! 1 of 12 RHD 964 Turbo S Flatnose from Porsche Exclusive: up close" now I know much more...
