Sam has done it again, nobody on KZbin has such unique content and with this quality.

[@askiff1415]

Agreed, people like TGE should look and learn from Sam, TGE has absolutely no idea about relevance and quality and is fast becoming totally irrelevant and will give up his subscribers

[@allanpeterson3358]

Totally agree with you

That’s why Seen Through Glass is my favourite automotive KZbin channel!

Arguably the most entertaining video I've ever watched on You Tube.. You have absolutely nailed the content of this trip. Well done to you both on getting to the end. Huge respect for filming at the same time. That must have been such stress!! Top drawer pal!

[@sickjohnson]

Glad you 2 had some fun!

[@domtoni4567]

Great inspiration, hoping to do it next year with a distant cousin, who is MM experienced !! Planning to use my California or if lucky, a 458 !!!

Amazing guys! Congrats to you both 👏

[@amapolishplummer]

Sam you should really think about rolling your arches. Yeah it's not standard, and you need to to it well so you don't actually change the shape of the arches from the outside but it just means there's one less problem to think about.

Does this include damage to the friendship between Sam and Tony 😉

[@birdboxx9075]

What an amazing series; Sam just keep getting better and better. Compare this to JWW’s insurance sponsored borefest and you can see who the real creative KZbinrs in the space are . Congrats!

[@mrmartin2079]

There really is no comparison between the 2 - which is why I unsubscribed from jww about 18 months ago ( he has got too unrelatable )

[@borjastick]

The problem for me with JWW are his posing and ego, both of which are totally out of control. I checked out of his channel two years ago or more.

[@jake4030]

What a second! You're telling me you don't want to hear "Spot of context" 100 times per video????

I used to like JWW but it’s just a big ego advertisement at this point

[@VLesPaul]

Haha that would have been me. Tony just highlights what a positive and bubbly personality Sam is. I got the impression they didn’t both enjoy the MM in the same way 😂

[@axecreatives]

Love how Sam has to ask Tony for the speed… EVERY TIME! :-)

[@rfracing964]

Looks like an amazing event. Glad to see you could enjoy being a part of it in your own car. Great vid.

[@scalecrawlnl]

Awesome, thank you for taking us along the adventure Sam, a fantastic series. Amazing scenery and cool B-roll footage. Love it👍

[@benvan-ness1030]

Also, I hope you don't forget to tell us where you guys placed in the amount of cars of the rally. I hope you did improve on that 42nd position or if not, at least you were in the middle pack for a portion of the time, which there's nothing wrong with that at all, especially for an older car

[@328gts1987]

@@reuben.mathew2 Thx, It is in the Ferrari tribute possible to win as "not Italian". However the MM it self has never been won by a "non Italian" since the start of the "modern MM". As you know The King winner ever of the MM-race was Sir Stirling Moss. Incredible how fast he has driven (av. +100Mph) the 1000Miles looking at road conditions in '55 (less traffic)

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Glad you finished with a positive day 3 and felt good about it overall. Thanks, Sam, for keeping with the event and appreciating it. Lesson learned. 1. Keep up 2. Prepare ahead of time, and 3. Choose your partner carefully. A positive can-do attitude, plus someone who will take the time to have a driver's license, consider their role and prep would make all the difference. And then stop whining.

[@BRLaue]

Never take a trip with buzzkill people.

[@benpenagonzales6014]

Brilliant 👏. Been watching BTG and STG for a few years now. These two were amazing to watch and share with your audience. Would love to do that now.

Brilliant, one event that I have always wanted to do. shame you that brought the village idiot with you, I need to find better friends to share these events with you.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Awesome vlog. Nice to see Sam enjoy the journey with his grumpy dad. The chase team absolutely felt like they did nothing.

[@sanmarino_cs1698]

Absolutely LOVING these Mille Miglia videos Sam! Some of your best content yet! Shows the harsh truth as well on the more dull sections. It’s not all glitz and glamour. Personally I’d have done all these huge trips before getting the car restored but I admire your patience with seeing all the chips / damage.

[@WilliamStevens007]

I really enjoyed this trip with you and Tony as it's not something I will ever do in person but it felt like I was there if that makes sense, Awesome content from you guys and the camera crew have to have a mention too.

[@peterjamieson412]

Great coverage Sam, nice to have dinner with you and Tony on Wednesday - we finished 2nd Brit, in 40th place - the FF took some hammer as well, finished with 2 buckled front wheels, and the air conditioning failed on the drive back!! The drive into Rome for us was amazing - Guy has posted on his Instagram

This is some of the best KZbin content I have seen in a long time, well done Sam for doing it. Please do the Mille again, maybe with a V12? Looking forward to the podcast on this.

[@hitek3943]

I like Tony a lot, he's funny and a nice guy but complaining this much is a little sad. Just enjoy the damn trip, it's summer time and not winter, a lot of nice Ferraris to see and great areas in Italy visit... how is it even possible to not just sit there and follow along without complaining? Anyway, fun series Sam and it was great to follow you both in the car :) What brand is the ppf by the way?

[@markwilliams5654]

I thought Tony drives over 300miles a day lol.....half a day in and he's moaning lol

[@jayernster7869]

Sam, I am absolutely gobsmacked at how you managed to juggle (kind of) ill-tempered Tony, the camera work AND either speed up or slow down for the sectors! I would have lost my mind! By the way, where did you finish in the standings? You progressed nicely all through out, save Siena of course. I have an invitation to go next year, so I wonder if you could either recommend it or advise me to stay home and eat gelato. Another FANTASTIC video, mate! Your enthusiasm is contagious. We beg for more videos….

[@simonbarr4123]

I can’t believe you spent this time with your co-driver… the numbty could suck the fun out of a circus… so negative… so whiney… so unhelpful… give me a yell if you need someone who’s positive, funny, understands Italy and loves cars… can’t believe you didn’t leave him behind…

“Greatest of adventures surrounded by enthusiasts”……. And Tony.

[@kago90]

the support camera from outside was dirty I assume.. wish they checked all the time (like you did).... otherwise, the content is amazing all always!

[@tunes4life]

No filters used by the looks of it either... poor effort,unfortunately...

[@LENSX_NA1]

I must say, I love how you did a restoration on the car and then actually drove it, many people would have been too scared to damage it again and because of that not enjoy the car.

[@bg22757]

Bloody glorious car too

[@greggbutler9344]

I think Baldrick has really enjoyed himself 😂😂😂😂

[@portman2396]

Sam again putting lazy content creators like Archie and TGE to shame.

[@africanotomotiv]

Sam. Without a doubt, you are the new standard in automotive content. Full marks! However, your crew (on this trip) let you down in terms of the quality of the B-roll they were tasked to capture for you (and it shows). You're still "The One", but it had to be said. Thank you for the great content.

[@tunes4life]

Yeah saw that too, the crew definitely let Sam down as even the shot at the fuel station was swaying,which it didn't have no reason to, and i suppose no filters were used on those supposedly b rolls either...

[@africanotomotiv]

@@tunes4life first, let me say I'm merely speculating here. I know not what happened on this trip. However, my assumption is that: -Apart from the actual camera work not being up to par (personal opinion), the B-roll was probably captured using cameras different from the Panasonic (which Sam uses). -Also, the footage appears to have been captured in some sort of log profile (which requires some measure of colour grade), which (I assume) Sam ain't got time for. Regardless, I appreciate Sam's effort and he can always chalk it up to experience.

[@Teamcoco121]

@@africanotomotiv my first thought was this hasn’t been colour graded. Which is disappointing as I really loved the actual content. Surely there is a preset to copy and paste on footage so it doesn’t look grey…

[@tunes4life]

@@africanotomotiv That makes sense about Sam not having the time,with his busy then schedule... but my point IS,the crew not making as great of a job as Sam does,to begin with... and hiring a crew,is what's at least expected,don't you think? 🤷‍♂

[@africanotomotiv]

@@tunes4life I hear you, but consider: Sam is a self-made, self starter. He's melded his passion for cars, love for creating video and developed a product (that is his content). He understands what it is he's creating; focusing time, energy and resources to achieve his objective. On the other hand, individuals (handy with camera gear) being offered the opportunity to be crew on a prestigious event, where high end cars are involved; may not be as invested in the outcome. If that makes sense.

[@simonbrandon4196]

Saw Tony a few years back in Amsterdam RLD, tbe bloke was an absoloute animal, such respect.

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Well that fits.

[@guilhermecameira2915]

Looking forward to this all week!

[@nonamenameless5495]

Not that it really matters but gee after the first episode it actually does :p ...so where did you end up place wise then? Highly doubt you made it to the top 25 and even if it doesn t change anything, how could you possibly leave that out. Whilst the first part was certainly more rosy and exciting, it was great that you showed the toll that it takes and the more tedious bits that don t make it a lesser experience but put it into perspective.

[@slytherben]

So I was just in a rally in the Smoky Mountains with my 997.2 C4S. Following a 992 C4S was almost impossible. It has twin turbos. The point is, modern cars are so much faster and classic cars cannot keep up. 992's were reaching 120mph in residential areas, where kids were playing, and it was all just insane to me. I refused to drive like that. New cars reach 120mph so fast, I don't think drivers even realize what they're doing. Fortunately, there was a "slow" group. I joined the slow group the next day and I was much happier.

[@kana4114]

Truly enjoyed this episode traveling with you! (B roll crew footage was fuzzy and sparse. Your footage was clear and colorful). “Grumpy Cat” was entertaining…..you may want to keep some Gelato in a portable cooler inside the car with you next time.

Congrats on the trip! always loved your enthusiasm, it's just a shame Tony's lack of enthusiasm/happiness really did show through on the camera. I'd rather be sat in a Ferrari, in traffic, in italy, in beautiful weather, around beautiful cars than at my desk in rainy England.

[@RAZGR1Z]

Very cool experience, Sam.

[@328gts1987]

Thx for showing us the last part of your MM experience. It is mega and only possible in Italy. However the tribute (started by Ferrari in 2010) has expanded into more tribute's lately. For me was the first tribute (5x Enzo, 2x F50, dozen F40's and 599GTO's, 16M's) the most impressive as many owners waited decades to take part in this Rally, using modern cars (not pre '57). It was really heaven as at the beginning years the tribute drove exactly the same route as the classics. Now days the tribute starts/overnights at different locations and therefore as "tribute driver" you miss out on the classic rally, unless you drop down and fall behind as you experienced... So Sam, next year. Startup the 360 and drive within the classics. I did this as a support car in a 458. The support we had: 1x tube-valve-lid ;-) Down-side of this mega open-air-car-party.... The costs $$$$. It is (for normal people) really expensive to participate. Not only the starting fee, overnight costs and fuel. But transports of your car, insurance and possible damage to your car (as you have) For a privateer (no tax write-off) it is heaven and hell but an once in a lifetime experience (of mostly dutchies, notice the license-plates on the cars....) PS The same "open-air-party" is in Sicily - Targa Florio, last won in '72 by a Dutchie, Gys van Lennep and has also a Ferrari Tribute driving parts of the racetrack. Different as experience but a hell of a party too (not so massive as MM)

[@marvel5210]

Great Episode Sam. It is spelled Salsomaggiore not Salsamaggiore though.

[@sebastianmattes8814]

Amazing video and an interesting new view of Sam, Toni and the whole 1000M captured by the film crew! Love it! Keep up the good work!

[@SWR112]

Your needed a second driver for sure. But apart from that magic 10% the other 90% is probably not the dream everyone presumes. Great think to tick off your list but thinking “Nah” I’d rather enjoy the Ferrari just driving through Italy less organised. The main thing enjoying the Car to the max. Harry from Harry’s Garage has thought me not to worry my Car as much, it’s just metal.

[@TempeMax]

Great job Sam!Well done from Italy. Now you have to partecipate to the CRAZYRUN!!!! Check it!

Inquiring minds want to know: Where did you finish in the rankings?

[@eltiburon1983]

Amazing Episodes! Thanks for sharing! Just to let you know - they finished 45th overall and Tony's actual name is Anthony :D

[@YachtReport]

It was a great series of videos on the event. Really enjoyed it. Was at least year’s event and wanted to go to at least one stage of this year but couldn’t make it even though I’m in Italy. One small criticism, the music selection is really awful and doesn’t reflect the event or the mood. Please get Epidemic Sound or similar to improve music choice.

[@TheRichardmintern]

Honestly i took no notice of the music. I just enjoy watching this video. Congratulations on the success of your own channel. it's well deserved.

[@yxscars]

Good content as always. Just thought I'd point out that I think the camera crew filmed their footage in LOG so it kind of does need a bit of post production colour correction/grading. But then again I understand you probably don't have the time so it is totally understandable leaving it as it is coz colour grading takes ages 🙌🏻

[@benvan-ness1030]

Curious what is the purpose of all the checkpoints? Especially so close together. Are they trying to keep the drivers to maintain certain speeds? Is that why our concerned about the speed at the time or what is the purpose behind it?

[@neils1643]

Probably your best video to date, would rather watch this than TG. Great job, and thumbs up to the Italian traffic police, wouldn’t happen here in the UK.

[@ole0510]

Still sitting at my desk studying, still using this as an excuse to get up lol

[@bigvern5163]

Sam, great content as usual and something us mere mortals will never experience. But taking Tony was one of your worst decisions ever I suspect. Most people would give their right arm to take part, but Tony just winges!!!!

[@pato10111]

Tony turned into a bit of a sour grape on this trip. I remember bringing a friend to fashion week in Italy a few years back and it was the same thing. By the last day, he just sat in the hotel room. I expect Tony took some of the enjoyment out of the trip for Sam which is disappointing. I know what it's like to be a burnt-out grumpy middle-aged man, but it would be nice to see Tony regain some of the spark he had in his early days on KZbin. Recently I feel like I'm watching a grumpy teenager, particularly on the podcast.
