    2:30 Glad you mentioned that. I do thoroughly enjoy waking up early around 4:30am on a Sunday morning to drive my cars around The New Forest and surrounding areas. Beautiful clear sunrise, morning mist, empty roads, no cyclists - utter bliss for us petrolheads.

    Thanks Damian, a perfect video to watch on a Friday afternoon. Hope you had a great time on the road trip, atleast you had the weather on your side, from what I can see anyway! Keep up the good work, it's always appreciated 👌

    Fantastic - what a day! One of the things I love about this channel is you drive the cars and put miles on them rather than just walk around them telling us the stats. The GT3 Touring is not too flashy, fast, has a manual gearbox and sounds good. Great car for just getting out and driving.

    • @cutdepiefails6596
      @cutdepiefails6596 3 роки тому

      How good or bad were the ohlins? What rates are you running on them? 997 gt2 do have much nicer spring rates oem, I suspect even the ohlins run less agressive spring rates as the 991.2 gt cars

    What do you think about new seats for the GT3, and to put rear seat as well? I have a manual 991 GTS with the classical adjustable plus seats that i changed because the bucket's ones were killing me. Oh my god, a totally new car, such a sweet everyday driving car, i think that i put on it like 40k kilometers in just two years.

    I bought my GT3 Touring 5 weeks after a total knee replacement and drove it 2000 k from Mornington peninsular in VIC to Queensland in Aust. The pain was worth it. Get the seat lifting brackets it makes a big difference to those seats. Plan to do a 100000 k in mine as well. Can’t believe people buy these cars and only do 1500 k over 3 years.
    Really like your videos Thankyou.

    This was a good one. A day in a 500hp NA 911, well done.
    I miss a car with 100 mph third gear. You cover secondary roads swiftly and always screaming.
    Maybe you should fix or improve the seats and drive even more. Why not ? Its a keeper.
    What tyres do you use ? Maybe a softer / different one could be a tad quieter. Make it a tiny tiny bit softer.
    These special 911s are really really appealing .. I would have mine in light blue metallic !
    Thank you for the video and ride

I'm from Northern New England, U.S. and have had the pleasure of driving the Cotswold's (and fortunately some other roads in England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Tuscany , Italy, etc.). But such beautiful driving roads in the Cotswold's, indeed. We've a few good roads here in the U.S. but I didn't miss a second of your video through the stunning countryside of Wales and England. I always enjoy your work. Cheers!
