Unfortunately Ben has COVID, I’ve been off with food poisoning and Tony can’t edit 😂 So it’s a bit of a raw video this week but we hope you enjoy the chat! Happy holidays everyone

I bet "Hello Fresh" are thrilled by your discussion on food poisoning ! 🤣

Tony’s impression of Shmee: “I BOUGHT MY OLD CAR BACK”. 18:22

Sam, Sell the 360 and swap it for a CS because if that is really your dream car and you can afford it now is the time. Anyway cars ain’t getting any cheaper and the 360 is actually probably still worth some cash. Just do it like we were telling you with the F-Type.

" The Emira chat we are going to have next week ..." Just bloody brilliant!

Dream 5 cars: 1. New Range Rover D350 LWB 7 seater version as the long distance family road trip car 2. Jeep Wrangler JL LS3 swap with 37 inch tires and fully kitted out for hardcore offroading 3. Tesla Model 3 Long Range as the everyday daily for going to work and errands etc 4. Rimac Nevera to just beat everything on the road in terms of just shear acceleration and speed 5. 992 GT3 Manual as the weekend track car/fun sports car

Definitely sell the 360 and get a CS but I would wait until you can get a RHD model.

Hard to whittle it down to 5, we all know it would be far more than 5 should money / space allow. However I think this covers my basis nicely - 1. Mclaren F1 with HDF Kit (Chassis #018 Ideally) 2. New Full Fat Range Rover - Subtle spec no tints 3. Singer DLS - BMW Champagne Quartz Exterior - No Decals - Brown / Tan Interior with Brass/ Gold Accents 4. Porsche 962 or a Mazda 787B whatever could be bought first 5. 250SWB - CH NO #2119GT

MY ultimate dream car garage currently is. 458 speciale , GT3RS 992 , M5competion , Ferrari Purosangue, RIMAC NEVERA ...😅

• Bugatti Centodieci • Bentley Bacalar • Ferrari 488 Pista • Merc Sl300 Gullwing • Lamborghini Veneno Roadster

1 - Ferrari Enzo 2 - Shelby GT500 (Eleanor) 3 - Aston Martin DBS (Casino Royale spec) 4 - Range Rover 5 - Porsche 911 GTS/GT3 Touring

Sam being one that is dealing with gi issues as of late I have a piece of advice. If this is happening more frequently you may want to see your physician and discuss it. That can be the early signs of things that can be treated easily instead of having to spend time in a hospital. I love your work and genuinely care about your well being. Feel better and have a Merry Christmas!

If you sold the Carrera T you can sell the 360. Be great to have a CS on the channel, 😄..

5 car garage. Range Rover Autobiography, Rolls Royce Ghost, Ferrari SF90 Spider, Porsche 930 Turbo, Porsche GT3RS

For me the 5 car garage must be: Bentley Continental GT W12 for every day, Ferrari F50 for the special days a few times per year, Porsche 991 Speedster for sunny days, Pagani Zonda R for track days and Audi R8 V10 manual for weekends

I sat behind the wheel in a enzo in south of France in 2009. I was having a look through the window just a young lad and the owner said jump in. To think how priceless they are and I saw him filling it up later on in the day. Puts it on the my top 5 just to be that guy.

Hearing that Tony had not seen his dad for 35 years brought a tear to my eye. It then fell and burn't a hole in my sofa.

My 10 car garage! Because why not 🤷‍♂️ 1) 60s, Ac Cobra 427 2) 70s, Ferrari 365 GTS Daytona spider 3) 80s, Ferrari 288 GTO (Black) 4) 90s, Ferrari F50 (Black) 5) 00s, Pagani Zonda F roadster 6) 10s, Porsche 918 spider 7) 20s, Porsche Singer DLS 8) 20s, Rimac Nevera 9) 20s, Bugatti Mistral 10) 20s, New Bugatti hybrid with New NA engine !!! ✌️😎

Loving the extra banter! Really adds to the podcast 😊 Keep up the great work

Tony’s car choices where the best😂 happy Christmas

I was scrolling through your main channel videos this morning and saw that the 911 video got nearly 850k views! Do you have any idea how this got to be your most watched video in 2022? Anyway, really enjoyed all of your videos this year! I did the sunrise drive in Tenerife with my girlfriend this summer, which was absolutely breathtaking! Keep doing what you are doing in 2023!

Sam, use a track day to improve your precision. Nailing braking points, turn-in points, apexes, exit points and feeling as though you’re getting quicker through the day. There’s no necessity to thrash your car to within an inch of its life. I treat them as an opportunity for self-improvement.

I absolutely love this podcast. Behind the glass and seen thru glass have been the highlights of my week. I think you and Tony are the greatest combination

Thank you so much for sharing my question! Always Great to hear Tony and yours opinions!

Okay, for what it's worth, my dream 5-car garage for 23 Dec 2022 is as follows- 1. used *Ferrari Purosangue* (daily); 2. used *Maserati MC20* (public road supercar - if I had a home in a LHD country I may choose a Bugatti Veyron instead); 3. new pts *Porsche 911 992 Cabriolet C4* with PTV Plus and Sport Chrono *OR Turbo* (everyday sports/GT); 4. *Audi R8 V10 manual* Spyder/coupe (manual n-a sports); 5. used *Porsche Cayenne 3rd gen* base or S *OR* used *Audi e-tron 50* (for wife/family/dogs). Even though five cars is more than enough to look after, a petrolhead with hundreds of millions plus is very likely to dream beyond merely covering the bases. And a EuroMillions winner is almost certainly going change where they live, and obviously their whole lifestyle, so in advance of such a circumstance I think it’s very difficult to realistically envisage the whole new lifestyle that would put its own demands on your vehicle needs. For starters, if I lived in the countryside I wouldn’t have a Purosangue as a daily. If I had an apartment in central London, I’d probably want an EV. And if I lived part-time in another country, I’d probably want to keep at least one or two cars there. It’s also going to depend how risk averse you are. It’s one thing to lust after an expensive car, but given the general state of the roads, parking issues, driver skills and attitudes, as well as the attitudes of cyclists and pedestrians, etc, realistically how expensive and how big a car are you willing to drive before anxiety dominates the experience? And beyond that, beyond the costs of maintenance and repairs, beyond the general running costs, how much time are you willing to let your car hobby consume? There’s extreme hassles just getting some of the cars serviced. Some cars have one service centre, and for some there isn’t a service centre in the UK. I know people who struggle to keep their many cars MOT’d/serviced/etc. And people who have sold their hypercars because of the hassles and time involved, which makes me wary of the microbrands, no matter how desirable their cars.

Both garages are great choices. My Dream 5 car garage: - M5 CS - Ferrari 812 GTS - Porsche 911 targa 4s - Lamborghini Huracan STO - Mercedes G63 AMG

Tony's cars would be definitely my choice. Keep doing what you doing guys, merry Christmas

Top 5 garage is so hard, but for me probably: BMW X5M, Singer 911, Ferrari 458 Speciale, Porsche 911 992 GT3 Touring, Ferrari F50.

Track days are using the cars at full potential. Declaring im the winner at a cup event is still willy waving

My 5 car garage, early thoughts: RR Ghost. G400d with 🪝. 992 GT3 Manual. Carrera GT. BMW Z8. Runner ups: 964, 930, Z4M Roadster manual, Taycan, Alpina B5 Touring, R34 GT-R, Murcielago 40th manual, LFA…

Just up to the track chat, howling. Great podcast so far lids 🤪

I have to agree with Sam about the 250 SWB, it's one for my dream garage as well.

Good episode guys . Merry Christmas

Tony is absolutely right about your car Sam. If it has crossed your mind to sell it, then sell it. It's like the old saying 'once you lose respect for your boss, get another job, because it's over'.

Zonda, Koenigsegg, McLaren F1 LM, Singer, Rimac, 911 GT1, Countach, etc?? - the Dream Cars. Apart from the Bugatti you haven't gone very high up the food chain there fellas.

For me… 1. Range Rover 2. Porsche GT3 3. Taycan Turbo S 4. GR Yaris 5. LaFerrari Aperta

Love this question and your garages. I'm going Sam as mine are: Ferrari 250 gto - to get a pint of milk in the middle of nowhere New range svo - Ferrari gt4 lusso - daily to golf club and pick up kids Porsche 992 gt3 touring manual - daily to work/clients Aston Martin victor - cause it's just amazing looking

Thanks for taking my question! Good to hear your thoughts as always. To play devils advocate- as a current V8 c63s owner, for me this car is about the drama, the sense of occasion and that great exhaust note. If that’s not there I wouldn’t really want a C63🤷🏽‍♂️ if we’re just talking about being silly quick then I’d turn to an Audi RS product or the M3 so I’m not sure which segment this new C63 will actually appeal to especially at that price point as well

Once you see how good the GT3 is on European trips, can’t see the 360 or a CS getting much use (and with all the maintenance hassles).

That Alfa is simply Beautiful.

Connections are great, nice to have the memories, but making new connections, new memories, better.

Best automotive podcast out there, keep going at it boys!.

Prayers out to both of you! We finally the Jaguar modern Trinity together @drivingwithmelissa ! Matching spec XKR-S GT, Project7 and Project8. If you make it to Nashville TN, give us a holler and you can drive them back to back on our Tennessee backroads!

Merry christmas guys!

Merry Christmas to all have a good one and a happy new year

Ferrari and Porsche snobs! 😂 👏🏻

Sam, you gotta swap out the 360 for a CS. If it's your dream and you can swing it now you should listen to Tony. You don't want to get another 10-20 years down the road always wishing you bought one. Do it before kids too!

Sam and Tony’s dream 5-car garages @ 12/22: Sam’s: 1. Bentley Bentayga S V8 (daily) 2. Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB or replica GTO Engineering 250 SWB Revival 3. Porsche 911 991 Speedster 4. Jaguar XE SV Project 8 'standard' not track package (four-seater sports) 5. Bugatti Chiron 'base' Tony’s: 1. Range Rover L460 Vogue 3.0 petrol/diesel (daily) 2. Ferrari Enzo (to look at and drive ~100mi/yr) - chosen over a LaFerrari 3. Porsche 911 992 GT3 RS (track car) 4. Ferrari 488 Pista (everyday supercar) 5. Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach Package and low mileage

Track days let you find out what your car is really capable of in a safe environment, so much fun without racing.

I’ve had the same Sam being sick last three days. And I agree I fear being actual sick!!

Everyone loves the X5 hybrid because of the range and you're back to an in-line 6 diesel, you'll never get that smooth turbine like power from a 4 cyl, and it'll sound more agricultural

Totally agree with Sam about Willies and track days!

I would go with Sams Garage. I would just exchange the Spyder for the GT3 RS. Nice Podcast again!

When you do end up selling the 360 for the Stradale, you’ll have your fun, but ultimately miss your 360. And you won’t realize that until you’ve scratched that Stradale itch.

Great fun. Was surprised how three of Tony's cars were older (even if they were amazing cars). Maybe Sam is slowly pulling him to the dark side

Sam’s garage is pretty much perfect!

5 car garage: Family car: Cayenne GT My daily: Panamera Turbo My track car: GT3RS The weekend getaway car with the wife: Boxster GTS My fun car: GT4RS My wife’s car: Bentley Continental GT

Daily: BMW M5 competition Hypercar: Mclaren P1 Weekend car: Porche GT3 Touring/ manual Dinner car: Rolls-Royce Cullinan Supercar: Ferrari 812 Competizione That would be a perfect garage in my opinion. Just needing a classic.

Big Range Rover, F12 tdf, 992 GT3 (or upcoming “911r” of 992), 250swb and Chiron (maybe the new one, love the ducktail)

Book a test drive in the spring on a Challenge, drive the 360 up to the test drive, if the challenge is that much better you’ll instantly know.

I feel your pain with the 360. My vantage has cost a bit to keep on the road now and I don’t know where I can go that will give me the same feels within what I can afford. What if I push myself and end up with something that I don’t get the same connection from. I feel we share a similar POV on our cars whereas Tony likes the latest and greatest. We like manuals and character 🤪

McLaren F1 GTR , Aston Martin DBR1 , road legal Porsche 917 , Ferrari F50 GT , Mercedes G63 4x4 squared

I do love a purple Jag Project 8, good pic Sam.

Nissan 300 ZX Z32 TT, Ferrari F40, Aston Martin V8 Vantage 1977, Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-SV, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

Great episode guys, was hoping Sam chose a Chiron. Range Rover best daily and Tony correct you just don’t want to drive it fast.

I am with Tony. Please get that CS man.

McLaren P1, F12 TDF, 992 GT3 Touring, New Range Rover V8, A 45 S would be my dream garage

Should’ve bought the Challenge Stradale for Amari’s earlier in the year. The one you drove

G Wagon for utility (dogs to the beach etc) Bentega for daily 288 GTO as my classic dream car 911 Clubsport for racing Ferrari 812 GTO for exotic driving

Hey, about the bmw's, I tried a bunch of the previous gen and ended up buying the 430d as the best compromise, slightly less power but sooo smooth and plenty of power for a daily. Much better then the 30i's and I preferred it over the 40i's ...

Five vehicle garage is Macan GTS, daily, 991.2 GT3, Boxster 4.0 GTS, Ducati v4s Multistrada, for touring and a Ducati Hypermotard SP for the hell of it

The maybach spark was ignited when you've seen literally every maybach in France drive through Paris earlier this year 😂

Big love guys, thanks for the podcast. Merry Xmas, kindest regards, Richard U.K

got the rs5 sportback competition pro spec. It's brilliant. It is a worthy alternative to the M3 and definitely worth looking at as the sports sedan to go for

Sorry you've been ill Sam, were the symptoms sickness and bad choices of cars? 😂😂 Love the Podcast!

I have recently been thinking about what my ideal 5 car garage would look like, I think I have finally gotten it right; 1. FD RX-7 Fujita engineering 2. Nissan 240ZG 3. 1961 Impala 4. Porsche 930 Turbo 5. Wald Merc S600 (daily)

I would choose Sam's Dream Garage...especially with the SWB Ferrari. Great choice!

1. Tailor made tdf 2. White F12 N Largo 3. White LAF Red interior 4. MSO 765LT 5. Brabus S900 Coupe (Last gen S65 coupe)

My dream 5 car : 1. Rolls cullinan (green and copper) 2. Land crusier GR ❤️ ( black) 3. LaFerrari spider ( Red Red Red) 4. Aston one-77 ( concourse blue) 5. Bugatti Chiron ( silver and navy)

Solid choices from both. If I had to pick I'd go for: 1: Volvo XC90 as an everyday. 2: 911 Turbo S. 3: Merc/McLaren SLR. 4: Bentley Flying Spur and 5: Rolls Royce Corniche Drophead for special occasions.

Tony you mean the RS cosworth? Interested on your thoughts on the old escort s1 RS turbo, all white with blue decals. Ever had one?

The Alfa Romeo coupe that was long rumored is the mc20 they just decided in the final stages it needed to move up a marque

The B58 is such a lovely engine

Aston Martin DBS Volante / Mclaren GT / Porsche 992 GT3 / Honda Civic Type R / Mercedes GLS

My top 5 will be: 250 SWB, Valkyrie, LFA, F40, last car would be either 991.2 GT3 Touring/Emira/296 GTB/ E46 M3 CSL/Gulia new facelift

New car day! Just picked up my hyundai i20N. 1.1 tonnes. 5 seats. £25k and 5 years warranty. First ever brand new car. Loving it so far. The X5 now sitting on the drive.

250 GTO, Laf Aperta, Purosangue, F1 LM, Chiron Pur Sport

Mine would be a Bentayga, Cayenne coupe Turbo s, 992 911 turbo S, Defender 3 door commercial urban spec, and a full fat full spec MST Mk2 Escort.

Sam, I think you might enjoy trackdays better with a proper club (Porsche Club, Ferrari Club, etc.). They usually put a bigger emphasis on safety and there's not a massive speed differential between a McLaren and a Fiat 124. With cars of your own liking.

Great podcast! My 5 car garage would be 1: Cadillac Escalade v series 2: Lamborghini Aventador svj roadster 3: Bugatti Chiron 4: Ferrari LaFerrari 5: Toyota GR86 The list will probably be different tomorrow tho lol

Radical SR3 GMA T.50 Pagani Zonda C12 Porsche 991 GT3 Touring BMW E61 Touring would be a great collection of 5.

I like track days because I can go flat out in my car to the fullest of my abilities which you can’t do on public roads. You can’t go 150 mph on public road legally so it’s makes sense to attend Track days.

Range Rover vogue as daily, F40, Giulia GTA (rear seats but spec the wing), 812 GTS and a 918 Spyder

Top 5 cars would have to add a pagani zonda to the list for me. Perfection

Regarding the 40d engine, I find there's a bit of a lottery when it comes to BMW 3.0l diesels as to whether you get a good one or not. One can be quiet and smooth, and the exact same engine can be be horrific. Also, using premium fuel is an absolute must to get the best out of those engines and make them smoother. And 100% agree with thoughts on the B58, it's possibly one of the best engines ever made...Dare I say up there with the 2JZ??

Time to go play in a Lucid, over 1000 HP, deluxe room for 5 and no petrol bills to get in the way of enjoying heavy miles driven.

Thank you for showing us the Picture of the car you are talking about... very useful for the YT audience.

The SWB Zagato is a one-off from what I’ve read that’s to be auctioned off.

I walk out of my mansion and see my 5 bay garage... I cheat & put in 4 lifts and have a single space for the daily! Rolls Cullinan blk badge Laf/F40 CGT/GT3 tourning both Ford GT's R34 GTR w/HKS engine/Hakosuka GTR

Controversial opinion maybe but I think I’d take the 296 (maybe doesn’t even need it’s limited edition) over the 488 Pista. 296 is likely faster and sounds better and is better looking
