James had certainly upped his game quite a lot with that introduction.

Omg you nailed the Uncle Buck look! Jus need the hat, R.I.P John Candy

I love the C63 interlude and the fact that you left it in.

7:04 hearing that C63 passing by means I now have to spend my afternoon on autotrader

The quality of filming, cinematography and PTC intro is way beyond other KZfaq offerings. If ever there was a TV interview, this is it!

Man, that 355 sound 👌

That intro, music and the sunset was a very elegant way of saying what you wanted to say.

My F8 Spider - blu corsa/crema - arrives in July/August. I’ve kept the options spend “down” to £52k. Still expensive but for me, a better ownership proposition than a 720S. Can’t wait.

Your channel is by far the most improved and engaging this year - others I won't name have gone backwards, Harry's Garage is always my benchmark, but this one? You've taken a huge step towards essential viewing in my book. Brilliant content and will be sharing this as much as I can. Nice one.

Brilliant, James. Just bloody brilliant. Everything about this review is perfect. Intro, music, commentary, the car itself, obviously. Your dress sense. You really have upped your game. Nailing it post after post after post. You are by far one of the most enjoyable automotive KZfaqrs out there. Keep it up and the F8 might not be such a far-fetched addition to your garage at some point in the not-to-distant future. You certainly deserve it, IMHO, for what it's worth.

Brilliant video but at 7:24 I genuinely laughed out loud when you referenced that you were dressed as “Uncle Buck” 😆 I’m laughing just typing this…👍

What an epic introduction!!

What an intro. Blockbuster standard!

Incidentally I was behind an F8 from Stowmarket to Stonham Aspall and it looked and sounded utterly glorious

One of the best reviews you have done James.Very entertaining and best intro that could have even been longer.Obvious it hit the spot and thanks for not crying.

I made this comment right after I watched the first minute of this video. When that F8 appears under the sunset 🤯 this introduction is next level.

This is the best introduction of any JayEmm video so far. It'll take a Herculean effort to surpass this intro.

James - love it 👍, classy opening sequence and music, great walk around and then the drive. I'd say well up their with your best😁, very engaging 👍👍

That intro was so good, been loving all the content lately keep it up

This man deserves more subs 👍

Man, your videos are only getting better. Great stuff.

Intro & music are amazing!!! keep the good work!

Fast becoming one of the standout automotive review channels on YT. Great work James, you have arrived as one of the best voices in the industry, a testament to your persistent hard work (that you make look so smooth and easy nowadays; a deceptive skill because it isn't). The best compliment I think I can give you, and what really marks you out, is that it feels like I have spent time in person with the cars you review, and got to know them as if I was there. With your background it is no surprise, I guess, that your videos are extremely well produced, but still first and forefront, always, are the car and insightful commentary. There is such a wealth of considered and valuable information in every review. You are truly an example to any filmmaker that it is possible to produce superior content independently, and I certainly never scroll past a new upload without gladly clicking on it. Thank you for all you do!

This is one of the best videos I‘ve seen on the F8. Thanks a lot James! :)

The intro was pure class.

Really love these, best car reviews on KZfaq!

This is your best video to date; great job, James. Keep it up.

1:09 in, brilliant editing and music choice, I have to give credit where its due.

What an excellent, in depth, detailed, and very useful review! Enjoyable footage, sounds, and expert advice. This video is extremely helpful to me! Thank You for such great content. I'm planning to purchase a Coupe.

James, I never leave comments but felt compelled to drop you a line. I grew up in the ’60s, so far older than either you or you're normal demographic; like many American kids, I read Road & Track and Car & Driver. I knew every spec. of the exotics of the period & each autos pros & cons according to the press of the period. My father headed Pennsylvania’s largest corporation at the time. Through my enthusiasm, seeming knowledge garnered from the auto reviews and pleading, I managed to talk my father into purchasing a ’64 Lusso that he used as a daily driver, a ‘66 275 GTB4 (my favorite of all Ferrari’s of the period, perhaps of all time), and a Miura that spent more time in the shop than it did on the road. I remember him telling me “How you talked me into buying this piece of “shi… I do not know, but it costs $1,500 in repairs to drive 500 miles” (referring to the Miura-only a slight exaggeration). For your younger audience, each of these automobiles during the period ranged in price from $16,000 to $18,500 USD new off the showroom floor, a Rolls Royce of this period was $20,000; I can remember a used MBZ Gullwing in Road & Track’s classifieds you could regularly find for $8,000 to $10,000 that I dreamt about owning one day. Ah inflation, the U.S. dollar purchasing power has decreased 93% over my lifetime thanks to our elected officials printing money. I have been fortunate to own many autos that have now become classics including 2 E-Types both convertibles one a ’63 3.8 liter 6- cylinder and the other a ’71 - 12 cylinder and a 365 GTC project car that over a period of a few years went through a total restoration. More recently an F Type R, ah the sound it makes…, have always had a soft spot for what my German car mechanic Dietrick calls “British rubbish”. Perhaps a McLaren is in order to really set him off, what do you think? 😊 I subscribe to a number of your competitors on KZfaq; however, in my humble opinion, you are by far and away the best, as you not only know your automobiles, what makes your channel extraordinary is you are able to convey the emotions of driving one of these cars, which is the entire reason we buy one in the first place, as it has nothing to do with practicality or value, or we all would be driving Toyotas, it is all about the emotion the car provides each of us behind the wheel. Each is like a beautiful woman, we know they are trouble with a capital “T” but does this reality stop us from getting involved? Hell no! Your video of the F8 Spyder just sold Ferrari a new F8, my preference Russo with saddle tan interior. Ferrari should be paying you a commission. Hope our paths cross one of these days.

Quite possibly your best video to date. Superb Jay

The shot where the camera is on the rear engine cover when the roof is closed was very reminiscent of "le mans " movie . Very good.

Lovely intro gorgeous car, what gets me these days sat here watching this is that there are Audi and Mercedes estates running round with this sort of power and torque now, shows how far most manufacturers have come

Incredible quality video for youtube, amazing intro.

James is getting up there. Great vid so far mate

Great intro, impressive c63 shout out , and colour coordinated cyclist ~0:12:00!

very happy you have so many views, your chanel is really picking up! you´re a gorgeous guy and i love to watch your videos in my free time

I really like this style of review, the intro was amazing

Outstanding intro 👏🏾 loved your review

Awesome cinematography! You are getting good at this!

That’s the best opening sequence I’ve ever seen bar none. Watched it twice.

@JayEmm fantastically well-detailed review mate!

Great review, the uncle buck reference was priceless 👌

“... and a SHETload of torque” haha i like this guy, glad I found this channel Jay. Greetings from across the pond

Uncle Buck, nicely done.. Jay you are a legend!

The pricing is a shocker...! But it is stunning......btw your comments re scuttle shake seem v accurate and reflect the fact that this is an evolution of the 458 Spider where I felt it was a real issue, though haven't driven an F8 Spider yet - and........great review by the way!!!

Good video James, great stuff and well done getting the press car for a few days, not an easy task with Ferrari. 👍😊

It’s hard to argue James isn’t the best automotive journalist in the UK. I’m not a Ferrari fan but I was glued to this. Thank you.

They're all saying you upped your game but I'm saying your game has been top tier since day

How many of your viewers will get the Uncle Buck thing ;-) James, absolutely loved the intro!

How Ferrari have managed to drag out the 458 platform for so long is beyond me.

Great video. At that frightening list price there are a number of alternatives even for the Tifosi; 458 Speciale, 488 Spider plus change; 458 Italia plus enough change for something like a DB9 Volante. Good though this is, would you ever advise someone to take the plunge on one of those rather than those alternatives? Keep up the good work

Fantastic intro! And not just me who thought of the Uncle Buck coat!

Great video! Beautiful production quality

Such an awesome intro, nostalgic 😎

This got a like just for that intro! Loved it!

James, that intro was poetry 👌🏼

To me , that is so beautiful, I will never own a Ferrari but if I ever won some money, a Ferrari is the first thing I would buy

Nice review. I was hoping there wa a review of a Pista to compare. Maybe the more track focussed convertible doesn’t have the same scuttle shake issue.

Best opening sequence yet, brilliant!

I am not the only one to suggest this, but JM would make a great host of a weekly or so auto review show, either in the UK or, if no luck there, in the US, where a good such show is very sorely needed. If you have nothing better in the pipeline, it's worth seriously looking into, JM!

You have become a very great balanced car journalist buddy 👍🏼

Absolutely smashed the intro!

Well done. Look forward to your thoughts on the SF90 and 812GTS when you have the opportunity. Cheers

🤣 Uncle Buck! Get in your mouse, and get outta here. Great review, loved loved loved the intro.

Excellent video as always. Luv and Peace.

The intro was awesome more like this 👍

Great review as always James and, you do know uncle buck will stick. 😂

I live a big city close to Madrid, and I barely see interesting cars. You are filming in the middle of a field and a c63 goes by. The car scene outside Spain is really cool, I guess that cofirms that we are indeed poor 😂😂 19:23 The sound is alright but when you tested the 360 and 430, the high pitched tone, was mind boggling

Another quality video from James? Shocker

Well done savage geese level intro there

Thanks J! Liked the review.

mate, that intro was incredible, had to rewatch it before the rest of the vid

Looking forward to the 812 video

Uncle buck! 😂😂😂😂 Great review, I got sidetracked by that though 🥰

Well done! Great, honest review. Now where do I find that $400K?

Intro is top notch!

Making use of all your own Ferrari driving footage for b-roll! Like a boss.

Fantastic intro. Loved it.

Great video really enjoyed it

Thanks for enlightening me, I always wondered about that, but it turns out that the bumpy roads in the UK are by design!

The day will come when these glorious engines will be a thing of the past. There is so much pressure on automakers to electrify

great that we can watch you go from the very ordinary fare to the spectacular....keep reviewing the full breadth...my dilemma is between a £10-20k used car and a £300k Ferrari...no sleepless nights on that one.

That intro

I won't deny that the intro was impressive. But I watch and sub to you for your authenticity and good reviews. IMO the appeal of KZfaq is that real authenticity - compared to slickly edited TV programmes. I'm just one person, but I'd focus on the script (less trying to be Clarkson please) rather than the editing. Overall a great review - I don't usually enjoy watching "unobtanium" but you sold me on it. And thank fuck there's a Ferrari without those ghastly screens that will be outdated in 2 years like the SF90, for those that can afford them.

That uncle buck line made me chuckle 😆

Intro is insane Go Jay Go 🏁

28:08 Ooh! A hint of F50 styling there too ; - )

What an EPIC intro!

Uncle Buck. lol. Great review as always.

Aside from the 'no noise' and scuttle shake I found the £327k price tag a deal breaker for me.

Loved the uncle buck line !!!

Bloody loved that intro!!!

Excellent video. Pista or F8? I think the Pista looks just that much better.

Nice video James. Which one would you pick personally between F8 and 812

EVERY. TIME. MORE EXELENT. REVIEWS. WAW. TNKS. THAT IS. A. DREAM CAR...HY. FROM PUERTO RICO ..SIR...WE. FOND MISS ONE ...TNKS

The 458 will always be my favorite of this platform but the F8 is a damn good car to

One in this exact colour passed me on the M5 the other evening, headed towards Torbay. It was following a 488 Spider in black and boy has the F8 corrected the awkward styling of the older model.

Well I have to say ,...this is one of your most balanced and interesting review. The cowl shake is notorious on this car . McLaren is superior as you stated on this . 👍

Brilliant Video!!!
