god knows how long we have waited to see this and seeing how the two of you are making this content together with so much joy is just so wholesome!!! Keep it UP sam! this is the quality content we cannot even find in mainstream media, waiting for part 2 of DTW soon!

[@seenthroughglass]

Really kind! Great to hear you enjoyed this

[@meetparekh3330]

@@seenthroughglass I thoroughly enjoyed the original DTW content, and this extension just made my entire Quarantine month a whole lot better mate!

[@ptr1019]

Wow Sam, this was absolutely bloody amazing! I watched every video from Drive the World so it's fantastic to see even more and behind the scenes. Viki did great, her input on this really adds another layer. We (your audience) are used to seeing and hearing your thoughts, so it's nice to include a different perspective. She was great on the podcast and continues that here. Well done to you both, really looking forward to the next episodes. P.S I like your living room!

[@JaysEyeView]

I watched every episode of Drive The World and loved it, but I still watched this video. Sam again delivering some of the most visually stunning automotive content on KZbin.

[@mindaugaskliukas8667]

Naturally the best travel/car documentary out there! Great narrative and editing! Thnx for a great work, Sam! And most importantly, it is a great pleasure to finally see Viki - she's amazing! These parts of Europe she's from never fail to deliver! I'm so glad for you, guys! Big ups! Looking fwd for the next part!;)

[@Papusiakk]

I'm halfway through the video and all I can say is...thank you Sam! I've been stuck at home for the past two months during lockdown here in Italy and this is like a breath of fresh air. Even though I had already followed your journey during 2019, it's always nice to recap the whole adventure. To be fair you're such a great storyteller that sometimes it feels like I took this trip myself. Can't wait for the next episodes, stay safe and thanks!

[@Harry13002]

Cheers for the quality content Sam! It was a pleasure to meet you and Viki at Leadfoot in New Zealand and I look forward to the future installments of the Drive The World movies!

[@seenthroughglass]

Great to meet you too! Was such a fun day! Thanks for tuning in

[@mindcrafte]

Viki is gold. Was watching the tour from the beginning last year and the mystery girl would pop up now and again. Glad she feels more comfortable in your videos. Really enjoyed it and glad you both had a great time here in Aus. Looking forward to more insights of your trip that we didn't hear about.

One of the best KZbin videos I have ever watched - DTW was fantastic and this commentary style doc is the stalk on the cherry on the icing of the cake. Great to have both opinions on your travels! The content, presentation and style is streaks ahead of ANY other car KZbinr.

Absolutely amazing Sam. The best content you have ever produced. On behalf of all of us, THANK YOU and V for sharing your journey!

The quality of your content is simply brilliant. By far one of the best Motoring Creators working today. Levels above Shmee, and I’m a fan of his too! Superb. Keep it up

I finished watching the series this week and it is now starting all over again.

[@chrisdyson5513]

Adequate superlatives elude me but I will have a go. This is absolutely brilliant and better by far than anything on tv right now (which is where it should be as a series). Best travelogue I have ever watched. Lovely to finally see Viki, who is delightful by the way. Her lighthearted perspective, delivered with characteristic female honesty, is a real treat.You two compliment each other so well. Roll on part two!

[@ga5manwilliams]

Thank you Sam. What a way to chill out after a long day at work. Excellent content as always.

Just brilliant Sam, great work. Best KZbin car content bar none. Really brought back great memories of my trip to New Zealand. Now over to that 911R and 918 Spyder video!

Great work Sam this deserves to been seen by all
