I actually like how you’re driving a few different cars in between the Porsche being shipped to the next continent. This will be great!

[@juzoli]

Mike Sheehy If I would do a world tour, I would actually try to drive a different car in every country, specific to that country. Corvette in US, Aston in UK, Ferrari in Italy. Actually with my budget, it would be a Dodge in the US, a Fiat Panda in Italy, Mini in UK, but you get the idea:)

[@DudesaidMIKE]

Zoltán Juhász this idea is actually sweet! It’d be cool to use every flagship GT car from each respective country (if money is no option) but I’d happily ship my Jag anywhere and use that as a primary distance runner like Sam’s 911.

New Zealand is amazing, i much preffered it to Oz when i went to that part of the world. The scenery is incredible and the people super cool.👍

[@where_s_wally]

Another awesome day in the Life as Seen Through Glass, stunning scenery, loved Leadfoot and great to you both enjoying your ‘working holiday’

[@sjoerdwitt8358]

Racing Ray seems like such a cool guy to have a talk with. Love the energy and the enthusiasm, also love the video’s of drivetheworld Sam!!

[@denisspratt926]

Nice video. That Hill- Climb event looks cool. The Bentley also looks great.

[@tommay1699]

I normally love your car content (even the Porsche and Ferrari obsession) but did the cars in that video. New Zealand is without doubt the most diverse and stunning country in the world. Such a special place...enjoy!

[@callumb5279]

Sam. We're loving this content. You're producing these videos, and the others for DTW whilst out there on the move all the time and somehow you're still firing out these vids. Loving this, thank you so much for bringing us content on car culture and social culture about other places all around the world. All the best. (I was sad about the 911T leaving, but having the bentley is cool, good shout with that)

[@simonverigotta41]

Properly enjoy these videos Sam, so entertaining that your doing something so different to every other youtubers. Keep it up! 👍🏻

[@icmdead1]

Great video, loving their Leadfoot festival, like getting back to the roots of a car festival and loving New Zealand.

[@benjaminh9081]

I absolutely loved this video, probably my favorite video so far of drive the video, the editing and and cinematography was super clean and on point!

[@kevinhight2254]

Great video and report on Leadfoot! Nice to have met you there!! Safe journey and keep it coming! Love your work. Cheers!

[@waynemakka1324]

In the South island make sure to do Wanaka to Queenstown via the Crown Range road.....a drivers dream day out , also Milford sound is a Must visit destination.you can fly from queenstown if no time for a 600km round trip.Due to narrow, twisty, hilly roads in S.I. a 2 litre hatch is the most fun.................enjoy.In Christchurch check out Autothority a sort of Kiwi Singer.a lap of the port hills in a caterham 7 , is another dream drive- South island is a drivers paradise....

[@ShanePleasance]

Agree - live down here and did QT yesterday.

[@douglaspealing5608]

Also the Catlins. Seriously good roads down there, provided you don't accidentally find yourself on gravel. (I love gravel but that's just me) The road to milford is awesome, but I wouldn't recommend driving it now. Too many tourists driving into each other these days. Devil's staircase is fantastic if you get a clear run, I've averaged 104km/h across there in a diesel starlet, so that's a good target to try beat lol. South island is incredible.

[@heathbrowning34]

Brilliant as usual Sam. Loving this adventure!!

[@s2focused]

Digging the monk look in the intro. Love watching your journey, videos and content are top notch! An inspiration to all of us to keep chasing our dreams.

... life could be worse, you could still be driving around the Porsche Carrera 911T! Lol....a bright blue Conti GT might stand out a tad in NZ! Rod Millen's place will blow you away! Enjoy the 2019 Leadfoot Festival! Certain to be more than a few poms around there! Oh and you thought Australian wildlife was scary....and you thought the flies at the 12 Apostles were nasty...wait till you are introduced the the NZ sand fly! ...seems the Cicadas are even worse down there....good luck on catching some restful sleep!

[@bloodykalle]

For some reason the new Conti GT has been the best design or redesign in the car world of the last decade when it comes to sports- and luxury cars. Glad it gets some air time on your channel!

[@stephenlane9127]

Sam you will LOVE New Zealand. I'm a Brit and I live there 10 months of the year and 2 months back in blighty (usually in the cold!) - you need to get down to Mt Maunganui (by Tauranga) and down to Taupo via Rotorua (go across to Hawkes Bay) and then on the desert road down to Wellington before heading to the South Island, via the Southern Alps, which is more like rural Scotland and Switzerland together!! Oh and get down to Duttons Garage in Christchurch and ask them kindly to drive their special Ferrari's!! Enjoy!

[@Chromastoma]

The montage of driving through New Zealand in the end was one of the most beautiful things i have seen. Shows with millions of dollars of financing can not create such quality videos. Been here on the channel since 2nd day after buying 4C and it is really sad that subscriber amount got only about 200k subs in those 3-3.5 years. The content and quality of content on this channel is worth more than that. It is worth millions of dollars, pounds and euros and millions of subscribers. Keep doing such great job!

That blue paint job and chrome combination on the Bentley is super nice 👍

Hey you went to our favourite water hole 5:25 we call it 'blue crush'. those rock walls are super fun to climb and jump off. the drive in may be short but the bump to get back on the road is a lot, i cant believe you did it in the GT. good on ya! also, i hope you're wearing sun screen, our sun is brutal

Moved to NZ from the UK 6 years ago. Wait until you hit the South Island. If you can, take the West coast road and take the road down towards the North end of Lake Wanaka - it dives between Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea and the view from the top genuinely changed my life. The mountain roads are fantastic. Enjoy the Crown Range in between QT and Wanaka. Let me know if you need a place to crash.
