Tip: Whenever possible, walk facing oncoming traffic. Could save your life.
Even though we are geographically flat, it just would not be economical (maintenance wise) to have really low sitting cars (lambos etc) in Barbados. Many of our main roads are really tiny as well rich in character (read: potholes). So would you really attempt to max out a lambo on a road the size of a lane filled with pot holes that can be many inches deep?
Other corrections : When you said you were driving through the west coast you were actually in Bridgetown. For us the west coast (or platinum coast) would start from... Tamarind Cove Hotel (2:48). At (3:15) was the roadside view of the World famous five diamond Sandy Lane Hotel the pretty logo is actually says SL and had you stood up on the opposite side you would have a view of some of the more impressive luxury vehicles on the island. For a view of Million and Billion dollar villas you could have taken the right turn after that impressive wall and taken the road all the way to the top. A view up that road alone would have made your entire video.
Little suzuki jeep perfect in Barbados
I'm from Barbados, haven't seen home in almost 30 years. I'm home sick. I plan on going back to visit later on this year or early next year
beautiful Barbados. Very soon I will be there. Just few months later. Looking forward to be in Barbados. Love u Barbados.
I lived in Barbados for 11 years of my life and I am12
Loved the video, loved the music. Cheers Paul!
I grew up in Barbados. Went back in 2013 for the first time in 23 years!! #lol It seems much improved to how it was then, though. Thank God!
import tax is quite heavy in Trinidad also but we have alot of lambos, ferraris, bentleys, rolls and endless GTRs and AMGs
A c class amg isn't special. And there's only one g63 in the country.
now talk about the out of control drug and gangster problem in TT, the shanty towns and the really poor people, and the high murder rate.
i dont care
the only way trindads have all those car because they get it from the goverment
Sounds like Paul and Sam are on their honeymoon trip xD
+Monaco911 STG and SupercarsofLondon have basically become one channel
mate you need to sort out the background music
don't ever walk with your back to traffic mate
actually it can it can be more than 150% import tax. Sometimes it can go pass 200% and that's not even all you have to pay. The tax depends on the engine size and type of vehicle. so for example the new Ford Focus RS would cost over well over $100k USD.
Now I'm not sure exactly but the new Range Rover Vouge cost like $500,000 at Simpson motors.
Here's the deal. Import duties, excise taxes and VAT on importing a vehicle into Barbados total 182.5% Therefore a car valued at $35,000 (US) would incur import fees of $63,875 (US). A poster earlier mentioned seeing a Rolls Royce. There are two of them, both owned by Sandy Lane Hotel. When they arrived, the newspaper headline read that the island had gotten its first million dollar cars.
In many of these developing countries (as nice as Barbados is, they're technically developing), they tax you where they know they can get you. Taxes start on cars with a 1.6L engine, and go up by brackets. Nicest car I saw when I went to Barbados in 2013 was a first gen Cayenne Turbo. Their large proportion of middle class helps in affordability, and there is definitely an upper class market like what you saw.
+EA40 Barbados is not a developing country, it's rated as having a very high HDI, so is rated as a developed country. It's arguable whether that is the case or not, but they're the facts.
Taxes don't really start at 1.6, they just increase significantly at 1.6. And I wound't say there is a large middle class really. The large majority of the wealth in Barbados lies in the white population, who by and large don't care for overly expensive cars, for tax and other reasons.
BBDSmint you kinda explained what I said in a far better and accurate way. haha
Wrong Barbados is a developed country, do your research.
@@BBDSmint That wealth gap is narrowing rapidly. Within the last 10 to 15 years we've had a huge crop of black entrepreneurs that are doing phenomally well, and there are many black resort owners there that prefer to remain low-key.
Superhouses of Barbados
I love how I know exactly where you guys are. Great spot
Frankie2cent Me too, I miss Holetown!
Mercedes for $80k in Barbados? Ha! we wish. That is the price of a new corrola :(
£80K just saying.
What country do you live in?
+Sugav 360 Barbados
Really? You can get a C63 AMG for £40,000 in the UK, if you work hard enough it could be your second car
lol in UD$ dollars a corolla would be 40k, a new c class in barbados in around 80k-100kUS compared to its base price of 40k
Love these videos. Went on a trip there this year and it feels like I'm there again while watching this
Paul, that Mercedes here would cost more like $150,000.
+Elery Sylvestre Such overprice haha, would never buy it..
Check out my Gumball 3000 vlog in London! caught some crazy insane revs and accelerations!!!!!!!
lamborghini aventador in my country would cost you around 1mil us$ but people still buy it anyway
Awesome!!
I Saw A Video That These guys Has Taken With Some Very Nice Restaurants In The West Course, For The Rich And Famous To Go To Dinner At, Here In Barbardos. Those Different Places Of Interest Right Here In Barbardos, That These Guys Had Taken Right Here In Barbardos, Look Absolutely Gorgeous. I Felt So Happy To See Those Beautiful Businesses, That Are Here In Barbardos, For The Wealthy Famous Lifestyle People In That Cartorgery, To Visit Made Me Feel Very Proud To See Such Beautiful Properties Exis Here, And They Will Sure Meet Those Wealthy Lifestyle People Requirements Here In Barbardos.
Such a beautiful island. Get some diving in, great marine life in those waters!
very similar to driving down A1A on the east coast of Florida..
Been to the exact same place you are ;) make sure you go to St Laurence Gap as they have loads of restaurants all open at night and try Mojo's restaurant for amazing burgers. hope you have a great trip
West coast is my favourite place in Barbados! You'll find it tough to come home :-p
Those properties with the Barbados backdrop look amazing!
I'm in Barbados right now for the week and I am a 1000% sure this Gumball 3000 sticker I found on the back of a sign downtown was left by one of you two. lol
The main reason there aren't lambos and (there are a couple Ferraris) super cars is because are roads are so short and we have so many corners tat it would damage the engine of the car because it wont ever be able to go full force on our roads.
Yea and there are no private beaches in barbados. you can stop your car anywhere along the coast and get out and walk straight on the beach. where else can you do that.
I love Barbados. Got a place in my heart
Some friends and I rented a house in Sandy Lane for 2 weeks a few years ago. The only cars I spotted were a Rolls Royces and an Evo 5. The cars have a huge tax and the roads are shit. Before you leave the island catch a ride on one of the yellow buses. It's an experience in itself.
+Rolling2Quarters Was it the Rolls that belongs to Sandy Lane by any chance?
+BBDSmint Probably. I always saw it pulling in and out of the large hotel across from the house we were staying in.
That was it then, the Sandy Lane villas are across the road from the hotel so it would make sense. And I'm 99% sure there aren't any other people on the island with a Rolls
+BBDSmint You're probably right.
Barbados IT IS A BEAUTY !!!!
In the sun Sam is whiter than white 6:46
+Romain Le sann Ha. I thought the wall was wearing a tank top
@@Kompoism lmaoo
Tax for the cars are even worse in Turkey. If the engines displacement is more than 2 liters its %145 and you have to pay additional %18 tax including the first tax you pay so a car that cost 100.000 £ comes up 289.100£ in Turkey
I'm on the island at the moment and was on the same flight out as you. You'll be stopping off at the Royal Fairmont to swim with the turtles on your boat trip, watch out for David Hasselhoff he is staying here and was on the Fairmont beach today!
Luvly video Paul :) You and Sam like little boys in a tropical playground :) I know where to go next summer!
Do you plan on going to Japan ?
Mannnnn, brings back memories of last year! Thanks SoL :)
i'd like to visit this island one day
The title doesn't reflect the content at all tho Paul....
You need to try one of those yellow buses!
+TdotSoul Those Buses were great fun to ride.
@@bradwalcott1342 there are buses. When they are painted blue with transport board logo.,They are not called vans. Vans distinguish them from transport board fleet
@horse lover aka peeve peeve girl why not?
Good to see you driving through Holetown.
show how the poor people live n how the rich dont care!
that's in every planet on earth" and space
I agree bull
We got that in the States. You can find rich as poor in every country on Earth.
Pure Criminal you sound like you think you are entitled to what other people have worked for, go and dig a garden or mow a lawn and stop whining.
Pure criminal Barbados the poor people in barbados are rich people in many carribean and latin american countries. no plastic booltles and garbage all over our beaches like santo domingo no shanty towns like many of our neighbors. barbados is not a developing country, it is considered a developed country. free health care, and free education. It's educational system is second to none. most of the visitors to barbados are not hand to mouth people, they are usually rich people from europe. Barbados is a model country, and the Barbados dollar is pegged to the US dollar. never devalued their money to please the IMF. lowest murder in all the caribbean and latin america. barbados is the Gem of the caribbean.
Hey man, enjoying the Caribbean content. I live on an island near Barbados named Dominica. Definitely would of been awesome if you came to Dominica too but I am happy that you are enjoying your time in the Caribbean despite that, loving the new content keep it going.
I love it when y'all do videos together
A very beautiful island! Not supercar heavy but it still looks very pleasant!
Incredibly surprised that as a car enthusiast you didn't go to see the Mallalieu collection on the South Coast near the Fairmont Pavilion. They have a collection of vintage cars- mostly vintage British cars. That's about as luxurious as you'd get in the island.
dude here in Barbados a BMW 5 series would cost around 300K Barbados dollars or more which is like 150K US dollars. You can buy a Lambo with that money anywhere in the world lol
that the same percentage of import tax an in Jordan too where I live which sucks but you can find Ferraris,lamborghinis, and other cool super cars
Barbados has beautiful beaches.
That's true
You guys should check out the boardwalk and Lime Grove. Pretty nice places
+Apple Flavoured Orgasm Also Port Ferdinand
+Apple Flavoured Orgasm He should also come back for Rally Barbados.
I want to go to Barbados so badly! 😩😩😩 looks epic 👍
did u go yet?
MAn great only 150% . In Egypt customs is around 235% for all cars over 1800 CC and around 130% for cars lower.
One sandy lane is a hotel mate. The penthouse villa is like $15k USD a night
One Sandy Lane is not a hotel. It is a privately owned residence that provides accommodation quite selectively.
Same here in my country, malaysia.. Cars really expensive here...
Paul whats the name of the song? I recognise it from a small band but I can't remember their name
Go read about the car prices here in Brazil then...
Haha...checkout for the price in India. Its 140% import tax plus road tax and insurance.
Um camaro ou evoque são 220,000 kkkkkk piada
paul you drove by the villa i styed at a month ago, thats awesome
Singapore is bad for tax being expensive as well I believe. It would be about £50000 in Singapore for a car such as a Mini
+Carlover16 Singapore is a very efficient country. It would likely be a traffic nightmare if everyone on that small island had a car... and while cars are expensive, public transportation is very affordable.
Parking in Singapore is nightmarishly expensive
Unless he means in pounds, that Mercedes at 4:55 is more like $150K - $200K Bds. A brand new pick up truck (Toyota/Ford/Isuzu) is easily 100K. Owning any kind of vehicle here is luxury.
Paul great video....I want to give you some advice next time you are walking in a country where there is little to no sidewalk -plz walk in the direction against traffic so that you are aware of whats coming in front of you ,instead of behind. It is very dangerous in developing countries let alone third world countries.
There's also 150% import fee in Denmark... And still we have 5 Aventadors, a CCX, and more
+Kristoffer Stahl aren't koenigsegg danish cars and therefore not imported?
Lionh34rt koenigsegg is Swedish. Also did some research we also have a murcielago and a 458 Speciale + over 80 911's
+Kristoffer Stahl NO WAY 5 AVENTADORS?!?!!
+Kristoffer Stahl ive been in denmarck Last year and saw some crazy cars
check autogespot_denmark on instagram
that tax is nothing. Here in Turkey the car costs %300 what it should be if it has upwards of 2.0 liter engine
well in my country its 117%, u cant import cars over 3 years old , and on top of that there is no depreciasion value, to give an example a 2002 toyota land crusier still goes for the same price after 14 years.
+Yazan Tuffaha OK I'll bite...what country do you live in?
+Yazan Tuffaha Do you live in Iran? i'm originally from iran and it's the exact same there, there is no depreciation, it's scary, and taxes are crazy high..
i live in palestine.
Back to form Paul ... Great video's , well done
My dad built one sandy lane and it is a hotel
150% import tax? In Norway, cars cost three times the original price. For instance, a c63 amg which normally starts at 66,000$ is over 160,000$ in Norway...
That's not 3 times thiugh
Approximately.
Paul Rihanna lives in "one sandy lane"
That is incorrect. She does not live there.
@@spidude Rihanna and her mommy actually own homes within the Sandy Lane complex!
@@megaman42951 Within the Sandy Lane area yes. Not in One Sandy Lane as the OP said.
sunblock a good idea when you leave old blighty
I'm surprised you guys didn't stay on Sandy Lane!
Great video. Live here in Barbados and appreciate the video. Can give a shout when next you come back 👍🏾👍🏾
Also check out Chris at REDLINE Performance Imports, he's got a nice project in the works.
Enjoy your stay
im about to buy a new car. Should I get the Tesla Model X or Mercedes Benz S550?
I thinking mercedes cause one of my friend have the s600 they said is was so luxury and amazing auto drive :)
hey paul u should go to Puerto Rico, there are some nice cars there. Btw love your vids! greetings from Puerto Rico
#roadto500k gl with your channel man...gj so far...btw loved your vid... ✌👍
Barbados is a small land Gov't needs to stop ruining it by blocking up the beautiful coast view with these monster houses. Buildings should be on the other side of the road from the sea, but views are seen but protected.
Great place to live if you are NOT a car enthusiast.
+Inner Hammer and even if you are! Huge car culture down there. There's more to car culture than out of the box supercars bud.
TdotSoul Well you got wrong channel here.
+Inner Hammer how do you figure? Just because I'm open minded to other types of car enthusiasts doesn't mean I don't appreciate supercars as well. Obviously Paul is also open minded since he hasn't seen any supercars and is still enjoying himself. You're the only stick in the mud here friend.
TdotSoul Yeah Paul s enjoying somewhat. He is appreciating car life there so much that other than Speed festival, he is vlogging about hotels, beaches and houses.
that's true cause in Jamaica cars r more expensive
You're doing my country well thank you guys, #246 for life #Barbados you guys are having fun thats good
+Bruce Wayne Good thing they stayed in hastings and didn't leave the west coast.
any plans on coming to Trinidad and tobago
pssst Paul there's a sesto in puerto rico (saw it and slipped past my camera)
Are they luxury houses or resorts?
Obviously
Just houses
***** What are you talking about? there are many luxury resorts and mansions in secluded areas that most people dont even know exist in Barbados
I was being nice with my question, i had no idea they existed...Regards Jeff...
I am aware, i live in those secluded areas people don't know about. I was just telling Jeff that what was seen on the video were houses. The only hotel was Sandy Lane (with the stone fence). What he explored in the video is only 1.5% of the totality of luxury houses in Barbados. [I'm replying from a different account]
come to trinidad next. we have some sweet cars here
In Denmark the tax is a 180% 😕
Not anymore, got changed to 150% in november 15
+Lars Andersen only 150% wow those lucky people of Denmark
Rev matching downshift on a bus lol. 9:22
+tommy4862 Lol yeah all minibus drivers here think they're race car drivers haha
Caribbean islands r beautiful
Paul is dying lol welcome to the Caribbean bro you should consider St.Kitts as your next carribbean trip!!
Trying to get Barbados 5star,what about poor people and the ghettos,will their go??
Loved the music!
I grew up there!!! ☺☺
Great Video. That import tax is crazy.. Stay hydrated Paul.
In Denmark its 180% Afgift and 40% tax
Great vid. have fun man !
you should have went to trinidad, they got a rolls royce , bentley 10+ range rovers, lamboghini's nissan gtrs, mercedes bmw etc
Range Rovers, Mercedes and BMW's aren't rare. They're every other car on the road literally. And for an island 5 rolls royces and 10+ bentleys is a lot.
+Sugav 360 lol it's like the Dubai of the Caribbean
Great video!
5:15 my family owns this house... Just leaving this here
Niceee if ever dey ever do like a Air bnb lemme know 😅
Cambodia also has 150% import tax and theres Rolls Royces and lambos everywhere.

Lmao the music around 3:00 sounds like carnival music, I guess it fits the Barbados theme lol
What music?
