This is literally the best casual non rich asshole over exaggerated review from just a guy who owns one and loves his car and wants to share it with us thx man we appreciate it alot xD

[@AwkwardYet]

hes always been like this too, stand up guy

[@srfhdx5584]

F40s aren’t owned by arseholes, most of the British owners are nice, they want to speak to you about the car, they want you to talk to them about it really, i have met a few and they were all top blokes. The Dickheads arrive when you have f40s with very few miles and are garage queened

[@carycoller3140]

I'm quite sure he's rich.

[@robertrishel3685]

So.. you actually DRIVE your F40?? 🤯. I’m impressed👍 👏👏

[@C4Gixxer]

First non Red F40 I've ever seen... wonder if it was repainted

[@NiggazHomie]

@Zx10r 08 I think that at the era of the F40, people who bought them just wanted strangers to see that their car is a ferrari just by the colour. I can be wrong but most of the F40s are red and I've only seen some yellow ones. Never a blue one. So maybe only one guy said: 'Fuck that red colour. I like blue.'

[@Atombender]

All F40 came out of the factory in Red. This one - just like all the other non-red F40's - has been repainted.

[@F1YMS]

Really enjoyed this upload, nice to see an owner talking you through what it’s like to own and drive a F40. And it looks really good in blue.

[@mo-hammadabunaser1367]

Sam: the back of my F40 steps out a bit on corners because the suspension is old school Powerslide lover: isn't that how I should go around corners? Fully sideways?

[@sammooresphoto]

😂

[@SinAlameda]

I had a Nissan many years ago that I ABSOLUTELY threw sideways around every corner. So much fun. But of course so much less power that it was never difficult to control.

[@DaMan8691]

@@SinAlameda front engine makes it way easier too

[@yujiin9850]

Love the F40. Glad you kept it. More stunning than most KZbinr hypercars like the Daily Driven Exotics McLaren P1 or TheStradman's Bugatti Veyron. It's always an occasion when the F40 comes out. At 15:49, the guy in the VW Amarok was recording on his phone

[@sl0w_racer]

What a special car. Thanks for sharing your F40 passion with everyone, these cars were made to be driven.

[@gooseberree4955]

I usually can't stand "High-end-car-owner" channels (Schmee, Daily Driven Exotics, etc), but I feel like there is something about the owner's attitude that exudes pure appreciation for the machinery in a way I don't get from most owners of exotic cars.

[@campervanman5340]

Agreed.

[@retrorewind6042]

You should check out savage garage. The guys got millions of dollars in hyper cars but loses his shit over an audi rally car.

[@zachrichard7039]

That acceleration clip gave me goosebumps. Holy shit would I love to ride in one.

[@ricardoraulino-guitar]

Fantastic car! I used to pick this one when playing Top Gear in my old SNES.. but it was purple

[@TheRichardmintern]

I hope you can keep this car forever. Great video. Thank you Sam.

[@thecremeegg]

The F40 has been my dream car since I was a kid, I still hope that one day I'll get a ride in one! I saw one on the road once, such presence!

[@takimakikaki]

7:27 a thumbs up from the NSX driver :)

[@balnsingh4118]

Great, informative vlog‼️👍...that blue is ohh so getting/looking better as the months pass by. Awesome car, thanks for sharing: love the 'old skool cars'.👋👋👋

[@markblezard9934]

Great vid, thank you so much for sharing. I owned a 360 TFB and the best comment I ever had was from a bunch of lads at a petrol station who shouted, "That's the best MR2 rep I've ever seen!" 😂

[@sammooresphoto]

😂

[@rickyprice7586]

Great honest down to earth review thank you. It's nice not having to listen to someone posing about what watch they have on that day when we want to hear about the car. Great

[@sammooresphoto]

What watch they have on? Who does that? 😂

[@swb7161]

Sam been watching your videos for years. You’re clearly a very interesting guy with a great story. I enjoy listening, and can not fathom how excited you must feel each time you see this beautiful car.

[@sammooresphoto]

It's just unreal having it in front of me. Sometimes I forget when it's been away for a bit but when it's just sitting there it's so sick.

[@swb7161]

Sam Moores thanks Sam. Have a great weekend.

[@muro9209]

You are probably the most humble guy who drives a F40💪, i also drive with straight pipes in my volvo R, it's so much pure, that makes up for the drone😁

[@tunes4life]

Simply the MOST stunning F40 out there,due to my favourite colour being blu!

[@andreabindolini7452]

Surely a pleasure for the eye, but repainted F40s are far less attractive for collectors and have a significantly lower value.

[@danc9163]

Blu non stop fun iconic legend - Thx Sam, Thx Enzo !

[@I999-g2s]

Was lucky enough to blag a ride in one of these a couple of weekends ago. I’ve always looked at the interior and thought wow how “Motorsport” but in reality it’s quite naff. The exterior is 100 times prettier/more striking than video’s or photos, could ever show. The noise comes across really well in the video, pure mechanical orchestra, unbelievable for a turbo charged car. Felt twice as accelerative as a GT3 (not even kidding), the performance, even 30 years-on, is absolutely breathtaking. Never meet your heroes? Yes that applies, because it’s even more amazing than I ever could have imagined, but I can’t afford one!!

[@sw2775]

Awesome vid - brilliant to see this being used properly unlike so many other collectibles that just sit under a cover in a garage all year waiting for a high offer

[@TukunTube]

I only have the 1:18 version of your F40...Keep it...Beautiful F40 BLU👍👍🏆

[@jakerio8]

This color is JUST P E R F E C T on the F40. Like Wow! Congrats

I feel Im in the car with you, I understand how it feels to drive the car and the emotion it brings you. Don't get rid of it, you will miss it.

[@dazzx10r]

Bloody epic mate, thanks very much for sharing such a great insight into the ownership of such an iconic car.👍🏻

[@carlos-bc5uo]

For once youtube recommended me a good video. Beautiful car, amazing you drive it. Hope to one day see one

[@balthazarriviere6036]

My favourite colour is blue. But this car born to be red. Ferrari is (if not the only) the first brand that colour is part of the personality of the car. Is not about personal preferences. Hope you enjoyed even in blue though :)

[@allanreardon]

That exterior shot of the pull on the B-road. NICE!

[@lewiscampbell8973]

7:31 check that guy in the VWs face! Everyone loves the F40 indeed!

[@willlowbridge350]

Old pal of my Dads in the 80’s had a big blue SEL W124 Merc. And his Plate was 999 BLU. Both He and the car are no longer around. Plates go round for ever. Cheers

[@ripptorr]

You should never ever sell your poster car. I like the fact that it really shows how much you like it and also you drive it and not keeping it for show 👍

[@theangel540]

You have standard glazing. F40s with Lexan sliding windows are really uncommon. "Standard" crank windows were an option (!). And please... Do not keep your clutch pressed down when stationary. (6.06 - 17.02 ...) Just for your mechanism. Even if you have the budget to have it changed, this avoids a risky engine removal for the body/paint. Let the car in neutral as possible. The mechanism, for passing almost 60kg.m, is very rigid. The pushing bearing is hardly solicited. Beautifull car and good ride 😊

[@andyharrison5898]

Thanks for your video Sam, very interesting.

[@grantmckendry3323]

Really enjoyed your video, thank you. Funnily enough it reminded me of my E30 M3 track car in lots of ways, being stripped out and so communicative in the way it feels. Obviously nowhere near as powerful but lots of fun and great reactions from passers by. I did a Petrolicious video with it. The Therapist. Anyway, thanks again. Mark

I will go and check that out! I love stripped out raw experiences (in the right place/ time)

Great video Sam, my favourite car of all time 👍

[@peterh225]

It’s just piece of Art👑 But if you need to think about the value...mmm...that’s crap. Gives the feeling that you rather want to sell it..😕 By the way; can you gives us the same “customer” experience with your GT3 RS? Curious about your thoughts on that mean machine...😊 (and don’t sell if you not need the Money... Emotions are not for sale..😬)

[@tompuorro]

Great Video! Thank you for posting this. On an aside, you never posted a follow up to your GT3RS DSC update. Like it? Worth it?

[@sammooresphoto]

Unfortunately I'm not sure the update will actually come. Maybe one day. I'm happy with the changes but I don't have enough information on how much better it is. I should probably take the original part out with me for a proper blat at some point and back to back it on a twisty road. It's just a bit of faff swapping back and forth that's all.

[@CharlieDrives]

Great video mate! Love the F40 Blu. 😊
