  • The car's worth a few million pounds sterling. The event is hard to describe, watch this to see what it's all about. Clue: it's awesome.

    This is, in my opinion, the finest segment Drive has ever put together. I've watched nearly every episode of every Drive show from the beginning and this is perfection. You all at Drive should be enormously proud of how far the network has come. Chris Harris is the man. What a special film.

    Honestly, there's nothing I like more than seeing a vintage car like this covered in dirt with a leaf stuck in the grille. That's just how it should be.

    Epic. Beautifully shot by Neil, compellingly narrated by Chris. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the Mille Miglia.

    Chris, this video truly gave me a knot in my stomach. I live in New Mexico. Needless to say there aren't many stunning British cars here. I have an MGB roadster and hope to do a race like this with my son. i now know that I will be restoring my little red rocket and attempting something like this before I die. Thank you once again for letting some of us gear heads peer in to such stunning machines. Keep on driving!

    • @MrGaryGG48
      @MrGaryGG48 3 роки тому +1

      I don't know much about the "automotive entertainment" in New Mexico but maybe the "Silver State Classic" in Nevada would appeal to you and your son. This link will take you to their entry form . There are a collection of PDF forms for entry. The accounts I've read about it sound sound similar to the current Mille Miglia. It looks like a lot of fun.

  • @makirompe
    @makirompe 10 років тому +29

    These are the moments when I'm proud to be italian. A friend of mine defined the Mille Miglia like "Anarchia stradale", that could be translated as "road Anarchy". Something this astonishingly intrisic beautiful could never take place anywhere else than Italy.

    • @peeblood
      @peeblood 9 років тому +1

      Unless you count the Cannonball runs, the U.S. Express, the Bandit Runs, and the Gumball 3000s.

      Ian Findlay
      Hmm, the Gumball 3000 has been run across Europe several times. If you factor in German pop-music, French television, and British cuisine I think the Americans come out on top. Regardless, you're displaying your ignorance.

    • @ianfindlay865
      @ianfindlay865 9 років тому +2

      Dave839 German pop music, French TV and British cuisine!!! Those are three big winners. And of course the Gumball was such a fabulous success, with multiple accidents, confiscations and so on. Keep on sniffing.

    I think the reason Chris is banned from the Ferrari race track is because he tells the truth about the product...

    One of my favorite Drive segments. Beautiful cars, beautiful city, and beautiful sounds with footage to boot. If one were to make the footage black and white, some of the driving scenes would look like something out of a classic peterol head movie.

    Firstly, that was an awesome way to spend 19 minutes of my evening so thank you Chris, Jag and Drive for that.
    Secondly, I can't be the only one who hate's Chris a little bit to know he earns his living doing this. To say I'm jealous is a massive understatement.
