Sorry to see some of you are struggling to hear the pizza review at the end… it works perfectly for me… perhaps something to do with stereo output so maybe try with/without headphones. Sorry again
Same thought! Yeah, when I ponder starting a youtube channel, this is the skill/confidence that I can't imagine ever finding! I think you found the approach for our type!
I was never a big fan of the 360, but nowadays, seeing it on the road, seeing it in your videos, the tan leather, the manual transmission... it becomes more like a dream every day! Hope you have many happy miles in this 360!
Yeah I'm kinda the same way. I used to hate it back in the day (maybe because Bam Margera had one, lol), but it's kind of wearing on me. I really wish Ferrari would come out with at least one model that offered the old gated 6 speed transmission. Not that I could afford it, but ya know, I can dream.
I kind of know the feeling Sam as I took my 360 Modena from Finland to Italy late this summer as it had it 20th birthday (mine is model year 2001). Epic 4000km roadtrip, ferry from Finland, driving trough Germany, Austria, Alps all the way to the Rimini coastal city in middle of Italy. Of course I visited Maranello etc. It was simply the best thing what I've ever done with any vehicle! Those memories will not fade. There's actually epic roads not only at the Italian Alps but also in the middle parts of Italy aswel, called Apennine Mountains. Mountain roads, passes, tunnels - you name it! And yeah, those Carbon Seats are surprisingly comfortable! I actually have similar specs as Sam does and longest I drove my car was 13 hours straight - trough Germany in a rainstorm. After almost 2 weeks of driving, I had no back aches, no neck / shoulder area pain, nothing. Also the front trunk has quite much of space, as does the "shell" behind the seats. I had much, much more room for my stuff than my friend had with his Audi R8. And the fuel economy is surprisingly good for a such old car with high revving N/A V8. I achieved 600km (370 miles) between fuel stops on Autobahn with sensible speeds of 120-150km/h (70-80mph). When the 1st fuel light comes (can see on video at 2:52) car does still have 20 liters of fuel left, its good for 100-150km of driving.
🔥🔥🔥 I always love your road trips in the 360, it shows that modern classics can survive road trips across countries and that there is finally someone who isnt afraid to drive their car and not just keep it locked away and only take it to cars and coffee events, keep racking up the miles, you're an inspiration Sam!!
Can we just take a moment to say how good the 360 design still looks after 20 years. It's also the second best ferrari V8 sound in the modern era. The 355 edges it out there. I don't care what Tony thinks, it's still a great ride.
The 360 is looking amazing and great to see it on a trip. Your car channel definitely has one of the best editing feels to it. Wasn’t a fan of the “room” reaction when you would have had to go in their first to set the camera up but still appreciate the massive effort that goes in to to all the aspects of filming. Pizza for the win!
In the car (apart from Behind the Glass of course) the Car Chat podcast by Sam Moores is a brilliant one to get into. The episodes are usually a good hour and a half to two hours, so kill an impressive amount of time, plus the guests he gets on are always fascinating and noticeably different to other podcasts in the space.
I went on a road trip through the French and Swiss alps this year. We covered over 600 miles in the first day. When we reached our destination I felt fresh and relaxed. I totally agree with plenty of snacks and water en route and plenty of breaks make the journey bearable and stress free.
Auto enthusiast travelogue really works. After being stuck for 21 months in a pandemic I really enjoy riding along in a virtual trip with a car enthusiast. Years ago I made the Four Seasons in Ottawa Canada my home away from home for a couple of years. They treat you really well as a regular. And for my wife's birthday, nothing worked better than a romantic dinner at the Four Seasons Toronto which is in the heart of the city where all the Hollywood actors stay while shooting their US movies in Toronto. :)
Dude your camera suplier must love you. Since you are always just leaving them behind and cracking on with your jorneys to get that awesome shot. Truely dedicated for the fat YT dollar. Gr8 work m8 👏
Absolutely loved this video! Thanks for the tips on handling long road trips. Staying mellow and relaxed can be difficult at times especially driving through large cities during rush hour. Sorry I couldn't hear your review of the pizza, but it looked delicious.
Not sure how useful this is for european road trips, but I'm in the US and have fitted a CB radio to my car which allows me to communicate with truck drivers (lorry drivers). You tend to pick up amusing conversations but can also get good info from the drivers as well.
You’re bang on about the podcast. It does keep your mind engaged as though you’re part of the conversation. Upbeat music does work, but not for long. Well at least got me.
Used to do about 1000kms per week and couldn't agree more, healthy snacks, good podcasts, regular stops and extra time all are important. A good radar warning system helps too ... I usually listen to anything from TWIT (for the more nerdy ones amongst us), This American life and On the Media are high on my list, Sword and Laser or After On for the readers of Sci-Fi and fantasy, AriaCode is a new passion, Lex Fridman for serious discussion and a whole bunch of work , tech and spirituality related ones. Oh and of course collecting cars or behind the glas if you might have any interest in cars ... cars and cars. Enjoy the journey!
The various lockdowns strangely drove towards podcasts. My favourites, besides BTG, are Smith and Sniff, Collecting Cars, WTF1, Beyond the Grid and The Intercooler. Keep up the great work!
Always love your road trip videos Sam. I enjoy listening to spikes car radio podcast. Lots of juicy car content mixed in with guests from the entertainment world and automotive insiders. Safe travels!
Podcasts are my favorite way of helping time go by during road trips. London is Blue, No Laying Up, and a few of The Ringer podcasts are my favorites to listen to… And if I am allowed to plug my own podcast, Food is Love Made Edible.
Also a huge fan of Beyond the Grid and Bring Back V10s (as well as Behind the Glass) for podcast listening on longer journeys. Can also highly recommend James O’Brien’s Mystery Hour - lots of great trivia explored in an interactive way!
awesome video man just a tip try and put inlays in your video it helps to make your point, gives it the focus and importance it needs an example would be the roadtrip tips you gave and many more instances can be highlighted using text inlays
Just wanted to drop a comment to say thanks for this video - Always a great day when STG content drops. Love the 360 road trip and yes it never ever gets old...More please.😎
Tunnel made me chuckle F360 engine note is immense though. Agree podcasts help Concentrate when driving, I enjoy most Smokin Tyre, Giant Bombcast, 9To5Mac, Football Weekly and Seen Through Glass to name a few. I kept misreading title and kept thinking you drove to Dominos Lol.
Sams sheer enjoyment driving the 360 reminds me so much why I adore my E92 M3. Yes the new ones are faster but having owned the F8x models they just don’t capture your soul like the older V8. Sadly that art is now lost forever, with the exception that perhaps Porsche are keeping it alive.
I’ve been looking forward to this video!! Great as always. As someone who also does a lot of driving , I couldn’t agree more about listening to podcasts. Along with the F1 pods I also listen to Smith and Sniff, Collecting cars and a few true crime ones like Casefile and Generation Why.
I have to admit that I have gone electric. But I just love your enthusiasm for the noise of that car. Is it just me or are your camera/editing skills taken to the next level on this one? I really enjoyed it.
Just did a little sick in my mouth when you put the food and the CAN on the paint of the boot lid!!!! I know your going to paint it but still…😩 Loving the content Sam👌🏻
Try get a reservation to Authentica at Pepe in grani on your next Italian road trip. Thats some good pizza. The 360, damn its still looking and sounding good with that exhaust.
Driving and snacks; some years ago, one of the US auto magazines (Motor Trend, etc.) surveyed their staff as to what the easiest and best snacks to eat WHILE driving and, as I recall, the winner was Fig Newtons as they make the least mess while being consumed.......
Curious why your numberplate is blocked out in the 4 seasons valet clips? Great video though Sam. Always so good to see the Ferrari being taken out on road trips
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of that Ferrari, you should contact AMMO NYC and have him detail your car. Maybe fly him over to London and do it. The guys does amazing work. Check out his RU-vid channel.
Sam. Mate. You need to do a wee three minute compilation of all the tunnels you've taken that 360 through because that thing sounds sweet. as. A. Nut. Pure music :)
That pizza did look delicious. And yes…the second you put your energy drink down on the deck lid I nearly passed out!!! As much as looonnng videos are hard to watch this one could have been longer…add more “lifestyle”, views of the hotel, interaction with people, what wine did you have with the pizza. So much opportunity to showcase your talents with “the whole package of your experience” I feel we’re left short changed. Remember, we’re experiencing this with you and it’s our opportunity to see things we may never get in our lives.
Making some assumptions but the first fill we saw was 67L which is 14.7 UK gallons. If you get 300 miles for that its about 20mpg. Not that great for a 80mph steady cruise IMO.
Some great tips, Sam! I've done a few 10-15 hour stints, one of which was in a highly modified Lotus Elise S1 with full carbon seats and no radio! It wasn't too bad because, as you say, if you have good time management, you're feeling chilled and have a few snacks at hand, the miles just fly by! I'd love to do exactly what you're doing! I'm so looking forward to my next European road trip!! Hopefully soon! :) -The Editor @ BCK
Perfect reason to go to Italy, especially in a Ferrari. I drove from NL to Paris to meet Magnus Walker, have breakfast (with croissant 👍) and drive back in my 986S a few years ago 👍
Mmmm. Mmm. Mmmm!! Next time I create a video about Italy, I'll have to actually go there 😂👍 and definitely get some of that pizza ❤️. Loved this relaxing road trip. Having been born in the UK and living in Australia most of my life, I feel like I've missed out on the opportunity to drive the Euro continent like this. Definite bucket list thing to do one day.
For all german speaking petrolheads, listen to "Alte Schule", a podcast series of ingeneers, racing drivers, Journalist, etc. from the good old days. So good.
