Ferrari 'F40 BLU' First Drive Review! Modern Classics Ep 3

[@tobybrown1194]

What a man Sam is for letting James drive

[@stevenswm9844]

I'm sure it wasn't easy for him...LOL

[@rejoicerone3176]

check out Sam's podcast! best automotive podcast imo! right up there with the smoking tire podcast

[@thatboatonariver]

thank you Sam :)

[@joeogle7729]

I imagine be went to his insurance company on his hands and knees. When Seen Through Glass drove his friend's F40, the insurance company said he was only allowed to drive 10 miles, the owner had to be in the car at all times and the excess for the day was 250 grand...

[@thedownshiftchannel]

Well that stepped up a level! Well done James. Hoping the see the GT3 RS 4.0 next! 👌🏼

It looks beautiful in this color, mych better than the red.

[@barrybenkendorf672]

Sorry red only.

[@user-pn9un3dc8y]

Black, yellow, white, red, blue all look incredible on this car. My favorite car of all time.

[@jpgmccabe]

Would love to see an F40 in a light metallic blue, the juxtaposition of a classic luxurious ferrari colour on such a bonkers car would be phenomenal! Just a thought, I find that colour a little too close to the VW/Audi dark met blue....

[@shanescarlife]

Ok, so now I see where you're headed with this, so I can suggest maybe an EB110, XJ220, and RS200

[@MrDead1975]

Dont forget the porsche 959

[@shanescarlife]

@@MrDead1975 can't give away all the ideas this quickly! But yes, 959 needs to be included

[@ThibauTM]

And @andy71b's F1 GTR maybe ? ahah

[@ardijanuar2036]

EB110 if he can find one that works, F50, Carrera RS 2.7

[@DavidL1986]

XJ220 one of the most under rated cars... probably in history imo

[@tonisukles858]

Well that escalated quickly. I was grining like an idiot all the way through. That overrun is mental.

[@JohnDoe-pz5fl]

can you pls do a video with a 288 gto?

Too expensive 😅

What an epic day. It was cold and wet but these things are meant to be driven. Think we better do the TDF next!

[@marky9117]

Hey Sam, great taste in cars. I used to enjoy your KZbin content with your old 911 and your racing progress with the radical. I'm guessing you're simply too busy these days? I hope you still have have the 911. Good work, epic cars. Living the dream. 👍🏻

[@sammooresphoto]

@@marky9117 Hola, yeah I am still making videos but I'm focussing more on other things at the moment. With regards to the racing stuff I actually haven't been in the radical for a while. I did a 24hr C1 race at Spa and filmed a video about most of it but none of the in-car footage came out which kinda killed the video. So more content coming but not at the rate of knots that people are used to these days.

[@christophernykodym2843]

Any chance you could get your hands on Noble M600?

[@HaLoo7]

This is content..! 599 GTO would be also awesome to see.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

The idea that even one day I MIGHT be able to drive one of these is exactly why we do what we do! Great video as always, James.

[@user-bd9qk2nu2q]

lol I was just going to comment about how the F50 drive was so much more of an adrenaline rush. Don't know why the F50 is the lesser desirable one. The F50 is like the E63 M6 manual that you happen to drove; ugly, heavy, but with an EPIC crescendo. Wish you drove harder.

[@imoutofyourleague4299]

Literally just clicked on and it never ceases to amazing me the level of content you keep bringing to the channel 👌👌

[@brazickofficial443]

DAAAAAAAAAAAMN THAT WAS SUCH A GREAT VIDEO !! SUCH A CRAZY CAR !! I CAN LISTEN TO SOME MOMENTS OF THAT VIDEO INSTEAD OF MUSIC !! ITS GORGEOUS!1!!! SO MUCH LOVE !! I WAS SMILING LIKE .. ALL THE WAY !!!

[@denisspratt926]

Great video. With these last 3 videos you are back to what got me into this channel. Keep up the good work. Hope for more of this series very soon, and that you'll drive some of the cars i´ve mentioned under the precisely videos.

James in an f40 on a cold wet day accelerating hard in a two lane road with oncoming traffic. NOPPPEEEE. I wouldn’t have the balls.

[@dmh4535]

James your face when boots kicked in fully on your first drive in this was “smiles per gallon”!!!! One of your best videos because you weren’t trying to be professional, you were being real and reacting exactly how is the audience would react if we had the chance to drive something so amazing, so raw so visceral...keep up the amazing content, I love this new series all the best Duncan (Roca Armani)

[@kaushik_632]

Mr. JWW you look a bit changed. Your hairstyle's pretty great. Well great content

[@BobbyDazzler888]

Kaushik Gogi same thoughts. Cheeks look different. Maybe some radiotherapy on the face?

[@golders99]

He's had a shave guys. Less beard, more of a stubble look.

[@youssefbakrito]

Freshly tapered haircut, the sides are trimmed down using a clipper. This along with the stubble as opposed to the fuller beard is just giving a much sleeker and cool look!

[@BobbyDazzler888]

Youssef Bakr has he got you bent over? Settle down mate.

[@youssefbakrito]

Greg Mieg hahaha nice one

[@tuckerdoud3690]

I love that he just decided to paint it blue because he wanted to. Because most other people would be like " no way! you can't repaint your F40 any other color than red!" But he just did it and made the car unique to him! Really awesome! And awesome video! Good job James!

Ricky from Living Life Fast will be reviewing it once its done as well. Thanks for your time, Neil.

love this car..the best looking F40 ever

[@hkn_r34]

Isnt the F40 actually considered a classic now?

[@allensaunders449]

Just be glad James gets to drive it You are probably right though

[@GBURGE55]

I think in the UK, a car is only considered a classic after 40 years. 1987 is classic enough for me

Well, damn, that would be peak car for me. End KZbin, done, seeya, driven a F40, byeeeeeee. Incredible James, incredible!

[@Real_MisterSir]

If you can find an original Pagani Zonda C12 with manual gear, or a Spyker C8.. some true gems, but especially the Pagani is in my opinion one of the last great manual V12 exotics that looks modern even 20 years after its introduction. That F40 straight pipe though, what an ungodly sound it makes!

[@allensaunders449]

Still hoping for a nobel m600 drive

[@Andy-pu2iv]

Liking it James. I've been watching your channel for a couple of years now, and although there's nothing wrong with modern (super)cars, I have to say, it's really coming alive now for me. Keep it up. And someone else suggested the EB110 - I'll second that.

[@andreasleveringhaus3529]

A lot of true words. You really feel connected to the car. A feeling, which only a few modern cars deliver. „I go out on a sunny day, driving für half an our, come back to the garage and i feel it for the next 6 months“ We had 27500 wonderful kilometers with our car...

[@Nicrobeeld]

+ 3db(A) is twice as loud. What? ;)

[@claireudell5110]

Blu is one very sexy Ferrari. I genuinely nearly broke my neck when I tripped over my cat as I dashed to the window to see what was heading through the village I live in - could hear Sam approaching for miles off! What a treat to see BLU cruising past my window and definitely worth the near broken neck too! Sam was en route to C&M just outside the village.

[@theonlydown1]

You should buy Salomondins Carrera GT!

[@brethren111]

@biocybernaut he is selling it now

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

I used to find the pedals a bit close in Alfa’s, but I’ve come to realise the Italian driving positions all about feel, making heel toeing easier, and being able to brace yourself hard on the dead pedal through corners. I drove a Vantage V8 in anger and I actually found the legs nearly straight, arms bent position while comfier, meant there was slightly less pedal feel/control due to more of the back of the heel being planted instead of the base/back corner of it.

[@Adlore]

Homologation for emissions and sound regulations probably Edit: they straight piped it, so yeah this F40 would not have been roadworthy in most countries

Oh boy, how I like you reactions! It gives me shivers! Just a quick info to those who would like to save a little bit of wear and tear on their car clutch: you shouldn't put unnecessary pressure on clutch's pressure plate. Meaning: when resting in traffic, put it into neutral and let go of the clutch pedal, no matter how heavy the pedal is. Reference to 10:10
