LA To Miami! 12,000 miles Across America [

The final part of my #DriveTheWorld movie focuses on the North American leg of our adventure. It took us over 3 months and nearly over 12,000 miles to cross from Los Angeles to Miami, with some incredible opportunities along the way.
I've wanted to drive across America for as long as I can remember. We wanted to pick a route that would let us see as much of the country as possible whilst also sticking to the main goal of the trip, which was discovering and filming as much car culture as possible.
If you missed Parts 1, 2 or 3 of my #DriveTheWorld movie, you can watch them here:
Part 1 (Australia & New Zealand) - • Our 5,000 mile Journey...
Part 2 (Asia, India & South Africa) - • Asia's Insanely Expens...

Let's all take a moment to appreciate what Sam has actually done. He's achieved something that not even a lottery win would enable because he's built up the contacts over the last 5 years to be offered the experiences he has had and shared with us. The vast majority of us will never get close to even driving one of these cars. 👍 For Drive the World part 2!

[@seenthroughglass]

Thanks for the kind words! It was an amazing adventure and a lot of work but worth all the effort!

Very true,as no matter how richer or more popular with subsbribers other youtubers are,none of them can say they've done a "Drive The World" Tour! So that's a big notch on your belt,to be proud of,Sam.

[@G1installs]

I’ve worked for his Dad Michael. Has an insane car collection at one of his homes in the Cotswolds. I think Phil was there doing helicopter lessons. Don’t think Phil does much apart from live the life of a billionaires son.

[@meetparekh3330]

This is the car community that had somehow disappeared in the past few years. This is the breath of Fresh air we always needed. This man has single-handedly created so much awesome content that most big firms fail to create. if you take a moment and think that this was also the content mostly created by the community's support. Nothing brings me more satisfaction than seeing this man's effort and how he brought so much joy to our eyes. I would much rather give my money to the second Drivetheworld campaign than any other premium channel so that this man can take his car around in flights instead of the ferry. Much love Sam, keep creating these beautiful memories. And who's with me to say that the next one should be in his Ferrari???

[@seenthroughglass]

Really really appreciate the kind words! It was a mammoth task but such a rewarding journey and its great to hear people like you enjoyed it so much

Drive the world in a Ferrari would basically be a round the world tour of every Ferrari repair shop in on route as well as a review show for tow services :D Now, a rallye widebody conversion on an Urus with a ski box... You could call it drive around Uranus.

Undoubtedly some of the best content on KZbin, full stop. The quality has been amazing since the early days of your channel, but you keep breaking expectations and go way above what is imaginable.

[@GSAirTherapy]

In terms of car content, this series stands alone, Sam. No one comes even remotely close. In fact, when you consider the astronomical budget that Amazon provides Clarkson with, I’d say your production, editing, and overall story is better. Bravo to you and Viki. I’m looking forward to the South America DTW.

[@varunthandy8467]

Ive said it once, and I'll say it again. One of the most underrated channels in the automotive KZbin space. The passion this man has for cars and travel something, however going out there and completing a task like Drive The World just blows my mind. All that while carrying a camera and a smile to bring us content is something that should be rewarded. Thank you Sam. :)

[@benvigars1349]

I need to go across the world now. I've certainly got the time to plan it.

[@daysofseptember]

Absolutely loved this entire series! I really hope a podcast/video of the finances behind it and how much it'd be without sponsors. I'm sure a lot of us are adding something like this to our bucket list so it'd be super insightful for Behind The Glass content at the very least!

Even though I've watched the majority of Drive The World, these after movies are so cool! The enthusiasm is obvious from the way you narrate the story.

Cheers from Zagreb, Croatia

Just out of curiosity you should do a breakdown of what something like this would cost and like any unexpected troubles you had during the drive

[@ElTurfStuff]

Sam, congratulations on one of the most amazing collections of videos. A complete story that puts even TG and GT to shame. Make a full movie of this, include as much behind the scenes stuff as possible, and a new narration with more Vicky. Then put it on a Blu-ray and chuck it at us! I'll buy it. More!

[@matteosiefert846]

Thanks for doing these Sam. Great recap of that amazing year and a well appreciated timeout from Corona. Lovely editing and so many cool memories! Also shoutout to Vicky, who really is a natural on camera 💯 #StaySafe everybody :D

If you ever get anywhere near Tail of the Dragon again, make SURE to do the Cherohala Skyway (which IMO is a much more fun road for driving and no cops). Cheers!

[@emixmim]

The whole DTW series was absolutely amazing Sam. In all honesty the amount and quality of the content has been outstanding, and to do all this on the budget you guys had... absolutely mind boggling. This has made STG the absolute stand out of the youtube crop of content creators. Different, fun, interesting, not to mention getting a good glimpse of car culture around the world, it simply has no rival in this space. I'm looking forward to a South America tour, and please don't hold back on the travel vlog side. South America is incredibly rich in culture, amazing places to visit, history and geography.
