Caterham 485 San Bernadinopass //pure roads greatest drive with police

[@mrmehdi4745]

8 years later and this is still one of my favorite videos on the internet , great roads , great views , absolute phenom of a car and also great driving , just awesome .

[@floriansticher]

Thank you so much. I basically purchased equipment to record, and then had technical troubles with that little car from the UK. But well see how it will turn out.

[@pirateracer69]

The ¨Super 7¨ logo is supperbly positioned. Love it. LOL

[@plonk7]

Great car, great roads, great vid. Thanks for sharing. I had a 1700 SuperSprint from 1994-2006. 36k miles but I regret I never made it out the Alps. Keep the uploads coming!

[@floriansticher]

+plonk7 you should come here and drive.. its just amazing. can't wait for the new season

[@TedwardDrives]

This is wonderful! Thanks for posting. Inspiring for the upcoming Spring in Boston with my cars.

[@rolfibodenlos943]

only the mindset of a buddist monk enables you to own a caterham and a drivers licence at the same time i guess

[@floriansticher]

hahahahahaha! THAT, my friend, is the greatest comment here so far!

[@christofbernstein]

Cool....

[@peterpowder8546]

Hilarious!! Agree!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@masterseven4499]

Dass der San Bernardino zu deinen Lieblingspässen gehört, kann ich sehr gut nachvollziehen. Ich habe diesen auch erst vor knapp zwei Jahren mit dem Seven kennen- und schätzengelernt; die Kurven sind wie gemacht für unsere heissen Leichtbaugefährte. Ich freue mich auf weitere Videos! Diese helfen, die allzulange Winterzeit zu überbrücken :-)

[@floriansticher]

+Master Seven Ja.. mich nerven sie eher wenn ich zum fenster rausschaue und gerne fahren würde.. aber das salz.. das salz :)

[@Henders72]

Great video, I thought the music over the top was a great touch as you could still hear the revs. Beautiful driving roads, awesome car, perfect.

[@floriansticher]

+markhendry1 Thanks!!

[@chaztheman8674]

I don't know what it is about all of these videos, but I just can't put them down, awesome driving in one of the greatest cars ever. Can't wait until I can afford to build one 😁

[@ag1447]

Whether or not the microphone was strapped down correctly, the music is a great touch, just the right volume between engine & music. These were some chilled out beats. Favourite so far though was BCee - Generations on the Sustenpass - epic

[@floriansticher]

+Alex Guest Thanks Alex! It was surely one of the greatest drives this year.

[@eliodelsette5048]

That car is the "Raison d'etre" for enjoying those roads. I wondered how long it would take to get the Swiss Police on your back. They know the beautiful roads invite the speed and just wait around the corner. I suppose is a little pay for such a pleasure. B'stards! Excellent weather and a safe driver, thanks for the post.

[@floriansticher]

The thing is. i don't speed or excess speedlimits to much on public roads. On those passroads with a caterham.. you don't have to. around 80 or up to 100 you can have more then enough fun.

[@iulianmaciuca5628]

common man, that spot for the police is classic, right out of Messoco, just before the first left hander:) 2015 got 2 tickets there :))) one in a 240Z one on my bike...lesson learned. great vids, have fun.

[@r.w.culbertson2030]

Glorious vids, man...may the Caterlove be with you.

[@floriansticher]

+Rob C thanks bro

[@samrobinson9091]

I live in Utah but I'll be coming that direction this summer and I'd like to join you for a spirited drive through the pass in one of my Lotuses. Let me know if you're game. Great video either way! Thanks for the inspiration to get out there and explore more.

[@Rudolf.Aigner]

That was the enhanced "Maut" for the ride. :-) I rarely did such trips without doors. More comfortable and not so windy.

[@floriansticher]

+Rudolf Aigner Ciao Rudolf. Yes it sadly was..

[@vintorez9140]

Man... that's gotta be the Heaven... such a wonderfull combination of things.

[@floriansticher]

thanks mate. It is.

[@Malaise318is]

Great sceneries. I think I'll drive my R300 to there this summer. 8) Thanks for the vid.

[@floriansticher]

+Mayonaise tell me when and we drive together. i do know much more cool roads here..

[@johnsteinbrueck7789]

Top scenery ! Supurb driving !

[@floriansticher]

na.. wasn't good driving.. passed the line way to often

[@slyv6]

Did this last year in my Impreza , what a road but we drove the other way from Switzerland to Italy and it wasn't that cold or wet.

[@floriansticher]

+simon leech that cold weather really adds some fun to the cars rear end ;)

[@BaziBazi-qg2gl]

SUPER video!

[@floriansticher]

thanks mate

[@PaddyMcQueen]

love your video and the music ! Cheers from Tessin

[@floriansticher]

thanks paddy

[@Janika-xj2bv]

What's the tiny black and white sign on the lower right I see on screen ? The little thing covering your left hand and wrist and steering wheel ?

[@roysharland2531]

R U still with us or have you gone to the great Mountain Passed Over in the sky?

[@floriansticher]

I am with you. ! As the force. jsut rethinking the channel ;)

[@MrSpeedjunkey]

Also one of my favorit roads here in Switzerland... And a really cool car .. but It seems your 485S must be 3.5m wide.. and minimum 7m long.... or why the f... is it nesserary to cut every f.... corner ? ...

[@mattclose1439]

Video seems slightly sped up lol.

[@floriansticher]

+Matt Close Hi Matt. Thanks for noticing. It actually is :-)

[@MonoLucas123]

Awesome vid.. more!

[@floriansticher]

this year!

[@MonoLucas123]

Pure Roads I'd like to join you to shoot cool vids and search for the best roads...

[@MonoLucas123]

@@floriansticher sooo moreee vidddsssss!!!!

[@stevel8430]

mate you got my taste in music and my dream car . cant afford one so going to sling engine and box from a volvo 940 turbo into a mgb . should get me somewhere neer that power to wait ratio . your a legend mate keep up the vids but dont die lol.

[@floriansticher]

wow.. Already a legend ? :D Thanks mate. Ping me if you ever want to drive together

[@worldhello1234]

I guess a 1600 K-series Caterham is less than half the price of a sparkling new 485s. ;)

[@floriansticher]

and maybe more fun!

[@stevel8430]

+Pure Roads sorry my phone only just gave me the reply. don't think my alfa gtv could keep up. lol The mg is only a pipe dream lol Though I am working on promotion so maybe. what a kind offer . if im ever in the alps I totally will.

[@22rember]

Yeah man, with a car the San Bernardino pass is my 2nd favorite road to drive, the back side of Stelvio is my favorite with car and with motorbike

[@floriansticher]

+22rember was not yet on the stelvio. will happen this year )

[@22rember]

+Pure Roads just be sure to go at a time where there is no a too traffic, because a overtake with a car in the back side of stelvio is very difficult, but thats part of the fun ;)

[@22rember]

i do the stelvio pass yesterday with my bike in full throttle

[@JureGodlerOriginal]

Splendid!

[@jamesbrekle7533]

Love your driving style! Fast but not a dick. I've got a '66 Mustang that I love taking on back roads, but there is nothing like that here in America. I'd love to drive those roads some time!

[@SacredCowStockyards]

+James Brekle I've never been there, but I'm willing to bet that Colorado has very similar roads to the alpine passes. It's essentially the same topography.

[@frederickyoung3003]

I drove to Washington from California and there was a lot of beautiful scenery, great hills, and sharp turns. Not quite like this but not too far off

[@billiebleach7889]

I did the Bernardino last year. If you wanna see the images, just rewatch this video at 0,25 speed.

[@ted007-z1h]

Rock,n Roll Dude.

[@DavidHeywood_Legend]

Awesome road, awesome driving.

[@207Richy]

Great video

[@floriansticher]

+Sangus Brule Thanks mate! Good to know that you like it.

[@thomas.1.3.1.44]

Got caught too in miata.. 680chf ..

[@slaWterCH]

Our Swiss police at their best. Speed traps to increase safety, right there! Nothing to do with financing their next office trip ;)

[@MrGman2804]

+slaWterCH Speed traps do not measure the ability of the driver or the car. They simply measure a speed against a limit set by a bureaucrat. I spent most of my 20's and 30's driving like this guy. No accidents and just 2 speeding tickets. Not luck, judgement. You slow when things are not clear, you go faster when they are. Busybodys probably cant drive. I am 53 now, been driving 36 years. Still no accidents, still only 4 tickets in a driving career of 36 years. The people who need speed limits to tell them what is safe probably shouldnt be driving at all.

[@thainaaier]

fully agree here... speed up when it's safe... slow down when it's not (e.g. high traffic density, bad weather, in towns, in cities, near schools, near pedestrians) ... I also think speed limits sucks dick... I hate speed limits on open roads and hate the beaurocrats who make them.

[@worldhello1234]

Germany has about the same percentage of deadly car accidents, despite the Autobahn and less vehicle controls. The CH is more extreme nannystate, it seems. Are they going to run out of excuses anytime soon? :)

[@floriansticher]

Good point!

[@pugle1]

I guess you could just call it "the price of admission". The thing is, you can drive fast but still be safe about it, and not be a jerk. It's all about attitude. Be fast, have fun, but don't be a jerk. Pure roads... what a great video. Sorry the cops bothered you. You looked like you were having fun, and you were doing it safely. Happy driving.

[@allyc85]

Just a tad drier than in my video! It is an amazing road though, I will go back one day!

[@floriansticher]

+allyc85 nice videos you have there. Subscribed :)

[@allyc85]

+Pure Roads thanks! More videos to come soon!

[@TheFuriousB]

tolle Fahrt, aber wenn ich schon Bussen in Kauf nehme, dann würde ich an Deiner Stelle richtig hochheizen mit einem solch coolen Gerät.

[@floriansticher]

+TheFuriousB Na.. das geld wird lieber ins auto gesteckt, bin ja kein raser :)

[@masterseven4499]

+TheFuriousB Wenn du wirklich schnell unterwegs bist, und das ist mit diesem Seven sehr rasch der Fall, wirst du nach der "Raser-Strafnorm" verurteilt. Das bedeutet: Das Fahrzeug wird als "Tatwaffe" konfisziert (und staatlich verwertet) und es sind bis zu vier Jahre Gefängis möglich!!! Ergo: Auf CH-Boden auch beim (relativen) Schnellfahren den Kopf nie ausschalten!

[@Tom_Hadler]

I don't understand where they catch you speeding. First I see is a guy in the road. Was the speed trap further down the road....where and in what format? This always scared me about driving in Switzerland. Crossing into Italy felt like entering civilised society. Couldn't relax driving there...

[@floriansticher]

they standing there with those radar pistols, where one office ic watching through, and tells the other *stop that* he was 10kmh to fast. Doesn't happen to often. Driven on those roads/curve with 80km/h is fast enough, trust me ;-)

[@didiervacher4031]

What's the name of the music in the first part of the video?

[@toshiba5784]

yay new vid, thx xD

[@toshiba5784]

+Tosh iba 1:30 seconds in and already stoked for the rest

[@toshiba5784]

+Tosh iba and is your left rear view mirror broken?

[@floriansticher]

+Tosh iba nope. just mud :D

[@floriansticher]

+Tosh iba thanks mate. Wait for the rest.. and you should watch in in 2.7k after youtube finished encoding it. The real Fun part starts at: 10:04

[@toshiba5784]

+Pure Roads haha, we'll do xD

[@lookilucki]

Ich vermisse Deine neuen Videos und hoffe, dass es Dir gut geht. Grüße aus Deutschland.

[@ferrariaperta7529]

love your car, im looking for one of those did u buy at Kumschick, or you imported it yourself ? and where was the speedcam exactly ? :o

[@floriansticher]

yes. at kumschick. :-) speedcam was in the curve on the right side, where i had to pull over to the left.

[@alamos8]

Where was situated the speed radar?

[@TheDonMagicWon]

I want a Caterham now! 2020 Goals

[@floriansticher]

have you reached it?

[@christianschmidt8696]

Nice, so sieht man die Rpm's! :-) Dann weiss man als Zuschauer auch, wenn die 240PS anliegen! :-)

[@S4scha93]

was ist das fürn gebäude bei 13:20 ???

[@floriansticher]

keine ahnung. war zu schnell dran vorbei. Evtl. ein Wasserspeicher?

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Will the Swiss police come after you if they see your speedometer is over the limit on a KZbin video??

[@floriansticher]

as i have not been way to fast, i dont think. but its not about the speed. its about the pleasure

[@Pisolori]

It's the wide body model?

[@floriansticher]

noooooo! Never!

[@Goc001]

Music is under the hood,not this in background

[@peterstark2488]

cool 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TTT_T]

How much did you have to pay?

[@floriansticher]

150 CHF, so 140 EUR

[@lok481]

Wicked!!

[@floriansticher]

thanks mate

[@johnsteinbrueck7789]

Much better music on this video .

[@johnsteinbrueck7789]

Where are you?

[@floriansticher]

heeeere. behind you :D

[@passioncheval5355]

Salut Flo.... Ich schau mir alle deine vidéos an😁 Jedes mal 4 likes von mir(alle Handys von der familie😂) David

[@cauannoslaunos2569]

13:32 - knapp. 13:37 - no knäpper 🙂!

[@cauannoslaunos2569]

Was d Jugend so macht mit üüs; ich fuhr früher manchmal kriminellstens Töff und Auto :-) zum Glück überlebt 🥰

[@alfredode-valdivia4744]

great video. nice car. stupid police. saludos desde chile.

[@eliodelsette5048]

@ 17.00 It may interest you to know that the sign you just made (2 fingers upturned), in Italy could put into serious trouble, being a very offensive gesture, particularly for a southerner, with some clear references to his wife/girlfriend. I enjoyed the drive with you. Thx

[@floriansticher]

i heard that last year when i was in sardegna.. you are correct.. thanks!

[@daniellebrackenbury8061]

fucking awesome....

[@floriansticher]

thanks danielle

[@CombattWombatt]

Great vid.. thanks... I'm not a fan of the music though.. I find it absolutely annoying... Please, just the vehicle noise. Would have been great to listen to the cops too.

[@floriansticher]

Noted, James. Most People like it and by the way, the music mostly stops after a while :)

[@benkeioniwakamaru4009]

cam links find ich besser ;) geile fahrt, =)

[@floriansticher]

+benkei oniwakamaru mal sehen was sich noch so für perspektiven finden lassen :)

[@stuartpeskett1514]

Ditch the music! So destracting. We just want to hear the engine! :)

[@floriansticher]

stops after a while, so....

[@joey19844]

would be so much better without the music

[@ndgoliberty]

NOOOOOOOO MUSIC RUINED IT I WANTED TO LISTEN TO YOUR CAR

[@NitroAl]

Why are you cutting corners? That's going to get you fucked up one day!

[@mob1235]

dude learn driving, you are more in the oncoming traffic than on your side

[@floriansticher]

right!

[@peterlustig2387]

Nice Car. But a very very bad Driver.I do not understand why you have to show publicly that you can not drive a car.

[@terrybrown6057]

🙄 some people have nothing else to do but moan... If there's no oncoming traffic there's no wrong to crossing the central divide line... It's called efficient driving with car sympathy in mind.. less stress on your tyres and less time turning harder than required... Therefore safer... Taught to all police patrol cars..

[@michelpesenti141]

Why this fuckin music

[@harryelzo345]

FTP

[@fragu123]

...as a motorbike rider I hate seeing you cutting corners all the time and disrespecting lines.... that has to be different otherwise you risk yourselves life or others. Otherwise very tempting video,

[@alfredcamilleri9238]

Bad driver. Never mind corners 🙃
