Love the film Sam. Made me mourn for my F-Type V8R convertible. If anyone doesn’t think you suffer for your art, worse than the 4AM start, capsule coffee in your hotel. Feeling. Your pain Dude….
Absolutely! It looks so good! Early morning drive and raining and hearing only car sound! Wish I could make such great POVs but Respect what STG giving us such great content!
The intro, footage and professionalism is just amazing. And no music with the driving shots so that we can hear that amazing V8 is a nice decision! Enjoyed this very much, loving the recent F-Type content.
@@seenthroughglass Ever since I saw that video the F Type has been my dream car! I hope to own one someday, if I ever stop buying guitars and basses. 😅
I live in that area and drive that road regularly. About 20 years ago I was driving home from Edinburgh in my Fiat Coupe 20 Valve Turbo, enjoying a test of speed with a motorbike. I crested the peak of the hill in front, and as we passed the ski centre had to slow down for several vehicles that pulled out from the left. The bike cheekily scooted past and I went to follow, only to have the rearmost of the other vehicles swerve into my path as I tried to overtake. The air turned sprint blue to match the car as I lay on the brakes. I then noticed the passenger of that car, a black Discovery, looking directly at me while talking on a handset, the array of non standard aerials and the cars in front of it. That black Discovery, a black Range Rover, a little green Series 1 Landrover , a black Range Rover and a black Discovery in the lead. They drove at 35 - 40 for the next 30 miles , not letting anyone overtake, until they turned into the right, where the driver of the Series 1 , a little old lady in a headscarf, has a wee holiday home.
That road looks epic and you got some amazing footage, breakfast looked decent too! Loving the roof down spirit Sam, loving the F-Type and road trip content......
Everyone: Love the sound the car makes, sounds really nice. SAM: The car doesn't sound good any more. Great video, the channel is coming back to its glory days again, loving the content recently :)
Absolutely loving the Top Gear tribute drive. Without having re-watched the original piece, the bit starting at 15:15 feels exactly like the TG segment. Fantastic!
It was such a surprise seeing the St Andrews cathedral. I went there for Uni and it brought back nice memories of walking down to the Pier right alongside the cathedral. Great video as usual mate!
Glen shee. Yup I remember stopping there one may when it was cold wet and windy in a heaterless caterham. It was open, the coffee was terrible. But I genuinely didn't want to get back on the road it was so cold! Love Scotland
still loving my rwd f-type r since ordering it new back in 2015. this piece has made me want to get up at 4am and get it out more. I’ve thought about buying a roma to freshen things up but just when I thought I was out, that sound pulls me back in
Great video Sam. They all look so well edited and shot now, with the different in-car, on-car, drive-by, and drone parts, I’d be interested to see some funny outtakes of your videos. And the interior color of the jag looks really really sharp too.
Being inspired by Top Gear's F-Type video too and to have done this road on a V6 F-Type few summers ago I can only confirm how great this road is. Thanks a lot for this kind of content Sam. Such a special place for drivers and your F-Type fits so well in that special place. Can't wait to come back to Scotland with a proper british car too. Hope to see more content like this one with your F-Type Sam - a french fan.
Have you ever thought about starting a second channel called "STG POV" where you would post only raw POV footage from your road trips ? That could be a great additional content (not that anything is wrong with a current format, it's bloody lovely! Keep up the good work Sam, cheers!
I watched fully all the ads because I knew this video is on another level... And know that this type of content doesn't attract a lot of views... (Shame) This one reminds me the video with Seb in Tenerife. Well done! To more to come.
Great video, watching with a lot of interest. As a V6S owner, the new P450 looks the real sweet spot. Give us a laugh though, what's your best, average and worst mpg on the trip so far?
Drove my Calibra to Glenshee on a long road trip many years ago ,it's a beautiful part of the world ,stunning video as als Sam ( oops it was Glencoe 😊)
Unbelievable how underrated your videos are. Quality is one of the best out there. Thank you for not giving up when views might not be as good as we would like.
As always STG makes the most enjoyable videos on youtube...as a long time subscriber I have to say your videos express the true passion of a car-guy...❤️STG
Scotland is one of my favourite places on the entire planet, and when there's no traffic, some amazing driving roads. I've actually been up that road and didn't realise it was the highest in the UK. Feel like you need to do the North Coast 500 whilst you're there.
That comment about early morning drives is so true. I drove the whole of the Isle of Mann TT circuit starting at 5.30am and only saw one car in the whole drive and no upper speed limit in places
The Cairngorms (and just Scotland in general) is amazing. Haven’t been for 3 years now so I really miss it but the last time I did was with 2 of my best mates and we camped in the middle of winter (nearly freezing in the process) and woke up to the most amazing sunrise I’ve ever seen over Loch Morlich
Is that the same place as in the movie of Skykall , when I saw that I was like"man I would love to live there" it's so magical", so cool that you got to experience it!!
You had to get up so early so you could take all the time needed to set up the many “fly-by” shots! Lol😎 another great video Sam! Thank you! What a beautiful place!
Nice piece Sam, I've done a couple of vids on that section too, had a lovely summer night for it in my 981 Boxster. Impressed with you filming that on your own it's certainly not easy!
Sam, I've been following your channel for around 6 years now, and this was one of my favourite videos yet! The amount of effort put into the B roll is incredible, great drone shots, the driving shots with no music were just perfection, the way you conveyed the story was superb, you really make us feel like we're in the car with you. What a stunning place and definitely worth the early start!
This is one of my favourite videos and i revisit it often... Im Very much considering doing the same trip in my ND2 MX5 RF. Not quite the same soundtrack... But i bet its great fun!
A gr8 combination of enthusiastic motoring journalism, with a well thought out driving itinerary and award quality video footage, all single handedly achieved.. sincerest thanks & compliments Sam👏🏼🏁
@@seenthroughglass how do you get the following drone footage while you’re driving? Also I really liked the view shot from the back of the car facing forward near the beginning of the video. 👍🏻
@@seenthroughglass now made even purposeful, receiving a like & response from the intended recipient.. Sam u discern urself from the rest of those who just churn out content incessantly with their only intention of achieving maximum views.. ur uploads leaves a lasting impact & influence 2 ur viewers.. keep up with ur discerning motoring journalist approach.. it’s appreciated & hopefully fulfilling 4 u 2 know how it’s received by us all,..😇🚙
Great editing....How do you get the air shots ? I'm purchasing my F-type cabriolet P380 AWD 2018 model end of Jan. Cant wait. Put a holding deposit down. Off to test drive next week. Soooooooooo excited.
Beautiful! I actually plan on getting F-Type P450 R-Dynamic next year in that exact color..British racing green with brown leather seats. Build that I made is around $98K..I am just worried that I might like F-Type R better because of more powerful engine. However, R is around 20K more expensive than R-Dynamic..I guess that is what I will stick with..444bhp is still plenty of power and it might be just good enough . What do you all think ?
Hello Sam, my name is Ben I’ve been following your channel for around Six years or so, absolutely love all the stuff that you have put out over the years. If I can be a bit bold (no pun intended), Have you ever tried the buttertub pass In North Yorkshire if not, it is a highly recommended road that I have tried myself. It is very recommended to try if you are in this neck of the woods
Hey Sam top vid m8 love the scenery & the no music soundtrack 👍🏻 But spring/summer?? The UK weather looks like the middle of winter here🤣🤣 Our spring/summer is 35C to 40C🥵 & hotter on the Nullarbor
