I love how relaxed you are about this trip, Sam. It doesn't really feel like you are doing this trip in an attempt to attract as many new subscribers as you can. It seems to me like you're doing an around the world trip and you are just taking your viewers along for the ride. It might not yield hundreds of thousands of views per video, but the quality is spot on. Keep it up, and most of all; enjoy this once in a lifetime experience together with Viki and enjoy the hell out of it!

[@ehjhey7]

@Oli Gilpin correct! Also, it's it's nice to see the channel growing organically.

[@wackojacko123]

I think I'm going to be sick.

Cape Town is one of the greatest cities in the world. The Franschhoek Motor Museum is unbelievable. Lucky man Sam!

[@aaronhussain3873]

The XK doesn't have factory modifications. They're aftermarket, yet period correct and, as you said, work so well. Its probably been part of a few competitions and rallies, so the owner must drive it hard! I've been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time with old Jaguars in my life (Most recently an XK120 DHC), so this was kind of a fanboy moment for me 😅

[@marksmith8732]

Mr jww and yourself make the best videos on KZbin ( of the car vloggers British or Americans).

[@Metamorphosis51]

Agree 🙌

[@Tracertme]

Sam is in a different league to James, JWW is all about life style like most of the others, dead boring.... it's a shame because James could have been a lot better, he had all the opportunities and has simple blown it, i.e. no lateral thinking or understanding of marketing and the 4th industrial revolution. James is just about James having a good time... hopefully his wrap business will provide him with some good life lessons. Sam on the other hand is going places... and manufactures need to wake up... and smell the coffee.. :-)

[@lucascompinto]

@@Tracertme I guess Jww's videos are not for you pal, I like both of them, they're different but that's what makes it interesting to watch.

[@Tracertme]

@@lucascompinto that's fair and your right each to their own.

[@eichler721]

@@Tracertme well MR. JWW has around the same views and subscribers so your statement is not backed by facts

[@Kasou01]

Sam's zero money = cruising in an aston martin. Me zero money = sandals all day long.

[@finnwesterveld3661]

I used to live in Cape Town and it’s so weird to see you drive past places I know. Keep up the awesome content❤️

[@somrajnaskar]

The cars and your videography has always been amazing but the background score this video was splendid. . .

[@gratefulot360]

I am thoroughly enjoying your adventures. I agree about having a distinctive color on a distinctive car. Thank you!

[@yunavergult6384]

That car, that colour, that landscape!?! Just amazing! Love the vlogs Sam!

[@miguela.alvarez7284]

😎 The edits on this experiences had gotten even better. Great stuff hope you guys are enjoying the experience looks amazing and it's still work. Congratulations. Great vlogs man.

[@eichler721]

Your drive the world is amazing so far. Can't wait to see what's in store

[@santiagoperico6788]

Sam i just love your videos, how you film and the entretaining way you have to tell stories. I strongly believe you deserve way more subscribers. Truly one of the best Cars blogger (if not the best) Greetings from Argentina

[@ThECoVErGuYs1]

Wow awesome video! loved the content and what Cape Town has to offer! The food, the native people and the amazing scenery! The Aston was the icing on the cake! Keep up the good work!

[@Allcarnews]

Hands down some of if not the best content right now Sam, so impressive! Clearly enjoying life and I just love it!

[@ChasingGiants23]

DUDE I LIVE THROUGH YOUR VIDEOS. FELT LIKE I WAS THERE. THANKS MAN

[@JohnMHazlewood]

Great music choice for the vid Sam. Just worked so well with the Aston.

[@redlac7008]

Drive to Hermanus over the mountain, good drive and Hermanus is worth the visit. 😉

[@chrishamilton2858]

I recommend you visit Cape Point. Absolutely stunning, good for the travel vlog

[@Arandomytaccount]

Great to see you in my home country! Enjoy and stay safe :)

[@Brian_Romska]

Awesome vid as usual, drive the world is a great idea and I'm glad you're doing it so we can live vicariously through you, thank you! I'm not digging the music so much but what do I know...

[@CarObsession]

Great production Sam, and the music choice was bang on as well.

Hi, welcome back to Cape Town 🤗 hope you enjoyimg your stay, I happen to be at V&A Waterfront yesterday but left early... Would have been awesome to actually meet you 🔥 and that Aston😍🤤

[@emilyw3192]

AHHHHHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

[@cornevanzyl4172]

Welcome back to Cape Town... BTW that Targa at Crossley and Webb is called the Dutchman. Think of it as South Africas version of Singer.

[@AhPau315]

Astonishing machine!

[@hughgardner1535]

Another great vid Sam you lucky so and so

[@Dev1nci]

Also try Dapper corner of Strand and Bree. Great cars and great breakfast 👌🏿

[@alexandbabyty2817]

03:05 my friends ND I in the back 😊 so nice meeting Sam 👍

[@SCDC-Channel]

the best colour for Aston...great video btw

[@shiznuts]

Yeas! Excited for the new F1 season! Hopefully AM RB Racing will get that Honda engine singing some Dutch anthems this year! And hopefully F1 returns to The Netherlands/Zandvoort in the near future!

[@MrVocalist567]

I just started watching this guy, and he is the most down-to-earth car KZbinr I've seen besides Doug. You can tell he's not trying to impress anybody. Same with Doug, as corny as he is, which we all love.

[@donr868]

Great parking spot you managed to get for the Aston! 😎

[@CarletonJohnson]

Love a db11!

[@godlinaire]

Your content is incredible bud! Welcome to our country 🇿🇦 You should definitely do table mountain

[@rayriverasj]

The car looks incredible. Those aerial shots looks great. How you do that haha. I enjoyed the video 👍🏻

[@martinscerri6218]

Cape Town is now on my bucket list, those veiws 😀

[@davisdesigns1153]

come on over

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Aye aye aye! Get back here!! Sit down and tell us your thoughts on Geneva this year. What you liked what you didn't. Maybe podcast with Tony. This year was a pleasant and unlikely surprise. Quality video as usual. Ta. ✌️

[@laurentirgo5042]

Hi Sam! Great video and welcome to Cape Town, today's weather will be great for the Franschhoek Pass. Check it out if you can!

[@Tracertme]

I must get back to Cape Town for some of that food, did you try the boerewors and biltong as you like meat.... nothing tastes like it anywhere in the world, literally.. it's the best.

[@waynemakka1324]

Best coffee in Cape town is TRUTH coffee Roasting/Cafe , David Donde a motoring Journo owns/runs it, No doubt he can arrange a Ferrari club run , perhaps out to Franshoek Motor Museum , great range of classics & Le mans racers, a Must see. Then for your Reality check do a Hout bay Township Tour, say hi to Tobeka.......

[@deanboshoff6849]

Spent the whole week in Cape Town last week. Would have been insane to have bumped into you!

[@dmax1479]

That car and those mountains look like driving nirvana

I just collected my friend’s Toyota Prius, it was a good day.

Yeeeah welcome man! You should meet my mate, you guys are so similar I sent him a vid of yours to show him how he is 😂😂

11:17 a ring on Vikki's finger, is this new Sam?

[@flamezilla]

I love my city!

[@Samurai_2029]

Can't believe that you visited my home town.

[@freakyRunner]

Try to get your hands on a "Keage Retro" backdate Porsche when you are in Germany. No other British Car KZbinr had his hands on it, you would be the first if you get the Car. The Looks of a old Porsche but the Performance of a modern one. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@shiznuts]

Two of my favs in Cape Town... ... did you at all meet up with Shmee at some point?! :D -- Behind the Glass? Geneva Carshow, DriveTheWorld so far re-cap talkie talk?

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Yep Geneva recap talk needs to happen, although I am not sure how much time he's had to look into this year's show.

[@shiznuts]

That's what the talk with Shmee would be for! He's seen it all, he can update him on everything.

[@ojosazules8828]

Yes he met Shmee at a restaurant in Cape Town...don't know if they filmed together in Cape Town...

[@shiznuts]

Nice, sure hope so though. I was in Cape Town in January. Lovely place!

[@Dev1nci]

Crosley and Webb near Roeland 😍

[@md8703-t5d]

Welcome to South Africa Sam.

[@wackyack3165]

Re: the Jag XK120 'Racing' car - think it is setup as a Rally car - see the spotlights on the front - the roof rack would be to carry spare wheels - maybe setup for long distance rallies, such as the famous Safari Rally ?

[@hsdxb]

Sam your parking is perfection 😂😂

[@denisspratt926]

Not my favourite Aston. But still a nice car. I would love the new Vantage in the Zaffre Blue or Divine Red with Copper Tan Metallic interior. When the #DriveTheWorld is over you should change the Carrera T for a Vantage. That XK150 looks great though. We actually have a ostrich farm not far from where i live in Norway. So we actually eat ostrich here to. Not much, but some. Nice video though. Keep up the great work.

[@acrviper10]

That porsche interior matched your shirt lol

[@lloydsmith2012]

Song suggestion: Down South by Jeremy Loops

[@jeanlafrance8746]

My lord Cape Town looks beautiful

[@CrashBandiii]

Should come visit, it's well worth it

[@borjastick]

I have no idea Sam how your excellent videos with great music and editing don't 200k views a go. When I see the trash that some other car vloggers put out which are inane shite I despair. Well done to you though and keep it going. You deserve much higher numbers and more income.

[@hugocramez9042]

The Gwagon is a mod professional G, there are several in SA

[@junaidmusarules]

You still in Cape Town? I'd love to take you through a few lovely quiet drives and to the motor museum

[@anasikarri]

6:35 lol got pulled over and arrested for weed at this exact spot last july. good times.

[@maddog4390]

How did they know you had it? Unless you were pulled over smoking it already

[@anasikarri]

@@maddog4390 pulled over is not entirely correct, was sitting in the car on the side of the road to enjoy the view and they pulled up next to the window and asked if they could search the car

[@Tophet1]

OMG Shmee just posted this car yesterday.

[@twistoffat]

Its a Jaguar XK120 rally car from Hamburg in Germany

[@superboy305]

I took a guess in my head and I was correct 👏🏾

[@robertlindholm3315]

That upholstery in the 911 matches your shirt. Better buy the Porsche!

[@andilesithole1794]

Hi Sam, did you meet up with Shmee??

[@paulnowlin2901]

Yeah if the Concept GT looks anything like the one in Geneva, I will be buying one!!!

[@louier9033]

3:02 that e24 though...

[@chirpynsleepy958]

Uniqlo green flannel shirts I see you😏😏

[@danI43541]

How‘s Cape Town? Is it as dangerous and do you really need to take care where you go etc... looks really chill driving that Aston trough town :D

[@kimbokieran1606]

danI43541 Cape Town isn’t as dangerous as people say it is, all I’d say is that if you’re carrying a backpack make sure it is either in the front of you or has a lock on it or remove any valuables. And don’t leave them in view in the car. But Cape Town is a beautiful and wonderful place, that everyone should visit and explore.

[@RRRVanquish1998]

I hope you drive the DBS Superleggera

[@ashton_ising2841]

Its pretty much the same Db11 in my profile pic 😂 i can now rest peacefully thanks to this bald man...

Omg i wished you showed that miata more than 1 second

Hey Sam are you going to buy a Aston Martin? I feel like it’s the best type of car for you.

Advice from Sam on how to spec. cars? I don't think so.

[@BROWITT2010]

Sam, can I ask what was Cape Town/ SA in general like? My fiancee was born there and wants to go back but her parents are reluctant, did it feel safe, did you encounter any hairy/uncomfortable moments? It looks stunning!
