I Sold My Ferrari 360! What's Next?

[@leeku7768]

Record for holding on to a car for any KZbinr. Well done and looking forward to seeing what’s next!

[@jaferkhan4108]

as an early subscriber, we've all been a part of the journey. it's been utterly brilliant. But, what happens now is even more exciting Sam. You've come a long, long way, unlike the ones you mentioned in the video. The quality, the surprise and the way you present content is what keeps us all glued to this channel. We've all been with you, hell, some of us prayed for you to get that CS, who knows. But we're all supporting you in anyway we can. You deserve it more than anyone. Waiting for the CS, staying subscribed, and ofcourse, a thumbs-up.

[@Bilal-kb9yy]

the 360 really will have a place forever in the hearts of the early STG community ! Thank You for the Memories and as people say *"don't be sad because it's over, be happy because it happened"*

[@rodrigo_realestate]

Love that car, I wouldn't say its part of the early STG community But a big part of STG

[@Bilal-kb9yy]

Early STG fans knew how much this car meant for Sam before he even bought it. I know it came only 3 years ago but it really was a process@@rodrigo_realestate

[@theycallmebernd]

exactly. you can sell a car, but you can´t erase the memories you´ve had!

[@Tristanbirdyt]

I agree and first have a red F type V8 🚀

[@Sean_Farmer]

IMO, a 599 would be a great car to purchase to own for a year or two. You can't go wrong with that V12 and those great body lines. On top of that, the prices are reasonable and I think the values will hold strong. However, if you can swing the money to get "the right" Challenge Stradale, that would be amazing!

[@kane0508LCAC]

Only Sam could make a video in which 90% is a talking head but make it so engaging and enjoyable. Your language and story telling is second to non. It’s been an epic journey. Congrats, STG.

[@MictemGER]

Thank you so much for not going the typical youtuber route and testdrive a thousand cars before revealing a car. You always wanted a CS and thats the only car you should focus on. This straight forward approach is so much more entertaining to watch.

[@shadik7892]

Happy for you Sam. I too, often said “I’ll never sell this car”, but eventually you move on to new memories and new experiences but will often reminisce gleefully about the one you moved on from.

[@dylthebradiator5037]

you and that 360 will always be remembered. in fact when you first got it, my dad landed his first purchase on his first ever super car, a 991.1 Carrera s. My self and my dad have been tuning into your podcasts and videos each week and you have really guided us into what cars to buy and when and we are eternally grateful for that. directed by you and Tony, my dad went on to buy an AMG GTR and he loves it but i will always remember that Carrera as being the first time that my self and my dad could have fun in our own supercar and i do remember seeing him cry (first time for as long as i can remember) when he let that car go. loosing the first of anything is difficult but it is always remembered with a smile. i cant wait for you to get that dream car, the challenge stradale, and finally, i want to say a big thankyou from myself, my dad and all the STG fans watching you from that beginning moment. we will always remember that 360.

[@CAB_18]

I genuinely love that you, sam, have kept that 360 for as long as you did and had some many epic memories and trips with it. You didnt do the typical youtuber thing and buy it then sell it after 6 months. It was a car that you loved and cherished. I think I can say for all of us here watching this video and that have followed the journey with that car that, yes, it will be missed, but... bigger and better things are to come for you and this channel. I am so happy that you have stuck to your guns and have decided to hold out for your dream car! No one deserved this more than you. It will be a momentous day and video for us all when you reveal that Challenge Stradale! I cannot wait to see the car and all the memoires that you will make with it. You are a bloody hard working person and all the hard graft that you have put in over all these years will be rewarded. From me and everyone that has followed this channel from the start.... Well done!🙂

[@4cds14]

I remember the 4C & all the cars since, the channels grown, you’ve grown & I wish you much more success. Over the years you’ve given us all great content & you deserve that CS. Looking forward to seeing your choice.

[@aamvoor]

The 4c sells for 60 70 also nowadays. But cheaper to hold

[@Jazda1Jazda]

@@aamvoor Really? They are fun little cars, but 70k?

[@Tainami_]

@@Jazda1JazdaI guess it’s because it has become somewhat of an icon, that also wasn’t produced for a very long period

[@Riful]

Love the 612 interior but the exterior just doesn't do it for me. A 456M would be pretty awesome imo, v12, last popup headlights, still carries the 90s aesthetic and a 4 seater.

[@larssonk22]

Congrats on the viewer that bought, I hope it brings many miles of joy!

[@Vincetagram]

So happy to hear you finally say you’re getting a challenge stradale! Been watching you since the 4C days, through all the eurotrips with the boys, all the car reviews, and always heard you going on and on about the 360 CS the same way I do the 430 Scud and 16M. This feels like the end of an arc and the beginning of a new one.

[@axing_]

The way the quality of your content never stops improving is proven by this video: basically 17 minutes of talking made an absolute pleasure to watch beautifully shot, in multiple cool locations, funky angles, great flow from one shot to the next and on top of that just good, let's say storytelling. I wouldn't mind some grand touring Ferraris like the 612 getting some love in the meantime before the CS, but it seems like your mind is already made up. Been watching since the earliest days of the 4C and it's been an amazing journey to follow and I very much hope there are many many years of STG ahead to look forward to!

[@jakedexter184]

Fair well 360. It’s been a pleasure to watch for 6 years. It will be missed. Onwards to greater things - we’re all looking forward to the next chapter.

[@benpenagonzales6014]

Love the 612! Glass roof plus those wheels = winning Sam.

[@gianlucavignali]

One tip Sam, if before you buy a 612, try and pronounce Scaglietti correctly😉. Just pretend the g isn't in the name, then you'll have it nailed.

[@scalecrawlnl]

A classy fairwell video to your 360 Sam. Very important car in the STG journey. Applaud your aspirations for the CS, with that being said, the 'stop-gap' car, sure like that idea. Perhaps a Maserati V8 would suit you in the mean time? Plenty of room for the family trips! Thank you very much as always and looking forward to your next chapter 😎✌

[@Tristanbirdyt]

Is that GTC4 Lusso TGE TV old car looks absolutely stunning Sam, absolutely loving the podcast it’s brilliant

[@BenB91]

FF would be a good choice. 4 seater family car and a v12. Win win.

[@CarsWithJB]

Momentous occasion, years in the making, and a reminder that with through hard work and ambition you can reach some crazy goals and dreams - can't wait to see the CS!

[@andypresland]

Relieved you’re sticking to the CS plan - the 360 was an epic experience to follow thank you

[@stefanedmeades4298]

It’s rare to see a youtuber not follow the well trodden route of “ buying my first supercar” and the subsequent exhaust/modifying/selling videos. You clearly loved that car and I’m pretty sure it was one if not the best example in the country and the new owner is a lucky man!! Excited for the arrival of the CS. Great video.

[@dominiclarge3647]

Sumptuous is the word for that Scag interior. Look forward to seeing a CS on STG!

[@arneltn]

Congratulations Sam, for the stories you've told with the 360 and for everything that's to come!

[@neuronbob]

I remember the videos from when you picked up the 360 and specifically remember your saying it would be let go only for a CS. No shame in letting the 360 go for bigger things. Happy to follow you on the journey!

[@ZL1power69]

Out of that entire Joe Macari show room........the Delorean Time Machine in the back 😍. Lol otherwise the 550/575 has always been one of my favorites going back to when it was a cover car for Need for Speed High Stakes.

[@davidgilbert]

I think you were more excited in the 612 than the Roma Spyder! In the CS you won't be able to contain yourself! 😂🎉 Enjoyed that thanks and can't wait for the update!

[@Maurice_Moss]

Still think the Tenerife trip was the coolest trip you did with the 360, was awesome.

[@anbanandanssubramaniam1495]

17:55 Sad to see your 360 Modena go, Sam but all the best in getting your dream CS. I am owning a 2004 360 F1 for the last 13 years and she is a keeper for me. I’ll probably sell my 360 when I physically can’t drive her anymore! Awaiting your CS video. Best of Luck

[@RenoveAutoService]

That was a pleasure to follow the adventures with the STG Modena !!! Never say never…so she’s gone Another Ferrari arrives so that’s not a sad moment I’m very excited to see the new one😊

[@ryanhoffmann9341]

I was genuinely shocked to see this headline. Obviously I'm behind on the podcasts. Good luck on the next chapter.

[@sp00ky1969]

For me, perhaps one of the best videos you’ve done for a while because it was so heartfelt. I liked the fact that you did so much with that car and I hope you manage to do the same with the Stradale when you find the right one (and please find one that you are happy to take on track). Considering that you’ve been banging on about the Stradale pretty much since I started watching the channel, there’s no better way to mark ten years than to make it happen. This might be one of the few times that videos from a KZbinr about ‘my next car’ will be worth watching, as you will actually be buying one and then using it rather than selling it on almost immediately. 👍

[@carvaultco]

It was great having you over, come back again and drive some of the other cars, perhaps our 575 manual.... A sad time to say goodbye to the 360 but what an exciting future you will have in store with the CS, we can't wait to see it. You deserve it!

[@steffandavies1332]

Great journey Sam…the stop gap car in between 360/CS makes a lot of sense. To allow some breathing space in between 2 albeit different 360s, content wise and to solve the ‘family trip in an interesting car’ conundrum…a manual 612 would be perfect for all of those reasons and more

[@mattprice3510]

We need a full 360 edit video . All the highs !

[@zanphillips5695]

It is a bit emotional seeing the montage at the end, what incredible memories and thank you for bringing us along on them all! I can't wait for the CS but don't rush, take you time and find the perfect one for you! We will be patient. I've been here since the TT days and excited for the CS days ahead.

[@RumblestripDotNet]

That 550 in Silver with Ox Blood interior is DEAD SEXY!

[@rossbest2049]

I really think the FF would be a perfect replacement.

[@spenym14]

I’ve been subscribed since 2015 when you Seb, Shmee, and Paul were in Monaco and you just collected your F-Type. I couldn’t be happier seeing you going to officially source your dream car. My dad a couple of years ago bought his dream car. A 2014, 991.1 manual Porsche 911 Carrera. It was an amazing feeling seeing him get his dream car and I have the same feeling with you and the 360 CS. Can’t wait to see when it comes to the channel!!!!

[@JOEM747]

Sam, I'm so excited to have watched you from the early days and now you finally get to make your dream come true. So excited to see your adventures with the CS!

[@nimishdevnani3891]

I loved all the content on the 360, but more than that I loved how much you loved and cherished the car. It’s sad to see it go, but I’m excited about what’s next to come. Thank you Sam for taking us along the of owning your first Ferrari.

[@markobrien2275]

Absolutely loved the 360 content and also the fact you wanted it to be a forever car and not just churn content.... can't wait to see the next step up!

[@tonymoreton7166]

As always, simply brilliant. Cannot wait to see you pick up the CS. I waited 30y from seeing Clarkson test the 348 on TG and vowing I'd get one, before eventually taking the plunge & getting a manual 360. Your videos helped me make the decision, so many thanks.

[@marky9117]

Pleased to hear it. I deleted my initial post as I was so incensed to see you talking about the GT models I wrote “Do not compromise!”. Got to the end of the vid though and all is well. 😄 Never compromise. It never ends well. Can’t wait to see the CS for the 10th anniversary of STG. Well done. 😎

[@Druezy]

What a journey and a pleasure it has been following along, bring on the CS!

[@GoldToazt]

The 360 CS is the car for Sam no doubt but I am a bit surprised that there was no mention of the 599. It's always been one of my favorites and is in the same era as the 612.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Ferrari V12s are very special - and that era is one of my favourites

[@ruyldev8556]

I think the Tenerife trip was the highlight of the 360. Video and photos were spectacular!

[@Dino-qq2jp]

Hey Sam, so glad I got to see the car at Alexanders BTG last month. Gutted its gone but so so happy you're following through on your plan from day 1. We fully support this decision and can't wait to see the reveal - I think I might cry with you! I've watched EVERY single video since the TTS povlogs. Best mate, Dino

[@dannymunk2982]

Really enjoyed following you for the past 8-10 years! Content for the past 24 months has been AMAZING!!

[@stevemcphail3586]

I’m glad you come to the realisation that it has to be a Challenge Stradale, could you do a video next on going thru your ideal spec if you could have the choice, would love to hear your thoughts

[@JunixZzHD]

I've been rooting for you to get the CS for YEARS and I'm so happy for you to finally take the leap before prices surge even more (like the 430 Scud - my dream car)!

[@toddnason5250]

Wonderful tribute Sam! Will miss the 360 but looking forward to the next chapter.

[@Fioravanti.80]

Selling a beloved car will stir up mixed feelings, but there is always a point at which you just know that it is time to let go. The trick then is, to find another car (or anything else) which will match or exceed the experience. This boils down to what you value at that time, the most. The FF probably hinted at that. But then, it is best to buy something (whatever it is) when feeling present, not when feeling lost, excited, or desperate. Pause, take stock, and then seek something which will be satisfying to own....easier said than done for some.

[@lukemallory7832]

Sad to see the 360 go but, I'm glad you didn't start modifying it - as that worried me. It was great for what it was and is. Now onto the CS! Good luck, sir!

[@BakersTaste]

Sam, pretty obvious you had a lot of fun with this video. Great to watch. I"m excited that you're excited

[@vedelcarby773]

Now the challenge stradale videos is going to be epic as you have always wanted one

[@alexblaxall1874]

I like the way in which you have acknowledged your sale of the beloved 360 Modena. Really emotional! You have said that you are waiting for the right 360 Stradale!! There are not many, as you say. There is a 2004 RHD Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale F1 @ Dick Lovett, Swindon. It's in Rosso Scuderia, 24.8K miles on the clock, £209K. No bonnet stripe. Carbon fibre bucket seats in red, harnesses, fire extinguisher & looks absolutely stunning! Perhaps that you could go & see it on your channel, please. I am sure that Dicke Lovett will welcome you!! That would be such a good way of starting your journey, on finding the right Ferrari 360 CS!!!

[@mrvdps]

Been here since the 4C days and hell I even daily a 595 Comp partly because of you! You deserve everything you accomplished and I can't wait to take a picture (and finally meet you) of your CS next to mine.

[@AutomotiveAvocation]

Love the 612! Especially the OTO! You could even have a manual swap done if you wanted… it’d be great for road-trips! 👍👍

[@mattwhitlock6062]

Great video. Very eloquently put. Your thought processes and car deliberations are very similar to mine. The CS is the way to go and realising that pursuing that requires focus. I now can’t wait for the reveal video.

[@RichardRatner.1972]

You've loved the 360 and all us fans could feel it. Respect for keeping it so long. Kindest regards, Richard U.K

[@johnmatthew4969]

A V12 would've been a great replacement However the CS is the perfect one, cannot wait for the reveal!

[@TIWNA851]

The 360 is such a good looking Ferrari! The other options you were considering just don’t come close visually. So, so happy that you’ve decided to go for a CS. Best of luck hunting the right one down!

[@AlbertPalmer]

Great episode! Love the more personal ramblings. I was going to say don’t get the CS yet… simply for the heightened tension and expectation.

[@gusandrianos]

Oh man, I'm so pumped! I'm expecting a bold color on the CS! Also, I wish we bumped into each other in Joe Macari, I was there 2 days ago!

[@brianiswrong]

As its safe to assume the 360's new owner is reading this. Thankyou for helping sam move on by paying and collecting it so quickly. It looks a fantastic example and whether you keep it 6 months or 6 years, i hope it seeves you well and you enjoy it👍

[@henryhol8538]

You have done well! We all remember the enthusiasm on that first video. You have done exactly as promised and actually used the Ferrari 360 Berlinetta to the full. We look forward to the next chapter! I must admit, sometimes on the drive home, I stop off so I can drool at the cars at Joe Macari!

[@EvanLikesDrums]

Being very close in age to you, I had the same admiration for the 360. Always remembering that iconic Top Gear CS vs. RS episode. When you first floor the 360 I supported the decision so much because I shared all of your feelings about it. All this to say, some of in your audience also had an emotional attachment to your 360, and we share in the sadness of seeing it leave. On to the CS!

[@theswissdriver]

Congrats Sam. Well deserved. I sold my TDF blue manual 360 for a 599 and missed it too much...so I bought again a manual 360 in grigio titanio. Now I have both the 599 and 360 :D Happy for you as the CS has clearly been your dream car since the beginning!!

[@mrsbumble6825]

So glad Vicki sorted your head and got you thinking straight - you’re a lucky man 👍. Enough of the bleating, source your CS and move on to new adventures. Have followed and loved your journey from day one - your honesty, passion, humour are infectious - can’t wait to see where you go next. Keep up the exemplary work

[@87plank]

Definitely enjoyed the video, an emotional ride 😉 You really got me when you almost bought a 575, i LOVE that car. The montage was too short and i cannot wait for the 360 CS reveal. Edit: Spelling.

You had me worried at the start of the video that you were going to buy a 612, I thought big mistake!! So happy you have seen the light and will pursue your dream to get a CS!

[@drbrowny90]

Having followed since the first 4C Monaco visit this video, particular the parting words and 360 clips actually brought tears to my eyes!!!!!

[@johnmitchell2269]

Most automotive KZbinrs only keep their cars for six to twelve months. I mean, how long did you have that 540C? So six years, plus all the road trips abroad, the amount of mileage you done, is actually quite impressive. The Challenge Stradale is one of my all time favourite cars, but I have to be honest here, I don't think they are worth 200k. Mind you, not many cars have as much character and soul as those things do. A V12 Ferrari would seem like the next logical step forward I feel.

[@niklaskil92]

599s are still beautiful and in my opinion a lot better looking that the 612. Also the HGTE package on a 599 makes it a lot better with the suspension and brakes being more dialed in.

[@BRAINFxck10]

599 looks too much like a Corvette C7

[@nonstopper]

@@BRAINFxck10 zero similarity other than engine layout

[@sidrens1047]

That’s such a shame! Iconic for the channel. However, the Challenge will be even better!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Alejandro_BoniIIa]

Nice. I’m 21 now and the 612 was on one of the posters I had as a kid. Specifically the “scaglietti sessenta”

[@MichaelRenardson]

When it came out I was never sure about the 612. However I think this car has aged beautifully and think the 612 scaglietti is one of the prettiest Ferrari's on the market. Love how clean the design is

Great video Sam, can’t wait to see the CS. Enjoy the search 👍🏼

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Congratulations on achieving your goal of the Strad. Hearing your story, I am happy for you. As a non Ferrari guy I can't fully get it. It seems like a lot of money for a model change of the same car. I know, I know... people explain it is like two different cars. It will be lighter, sound better, not be a gated manual and have a little more kick that the Modena apparently lacks. But it is a 360 with an F1 that finally works. It certainly will be better from an investment standpoint. I'll certainly enjoy your journey, and again congratulations.

[@owenmorgan857]

Things come and go making memories with special people is what sticks with us

[@stevee8920]

Look forward to the CS coming to the channel, I know from listening to you on your podcast you have a particular spec you would want so I hope it won’t be too long before that spec turns up, when it does it will be a defining moment for your channel as it’s something you have always aspired to get 👍🇬🇧

Being a BTG listener I already knew that the 360 is sold but watching this video made me wanna cry - especially the last part of the video. The 360 is almost synonymous with STG and I can't see it go. I hope you get a CS very soon.
