- This has been a tough video to make, not simply because of the sheer volume of content I took during this five day trip around the Rockies, but because while I was away I got word that my step-father, Anthony, suddenly passed away. What made this video particularly special for me was that just 2 months prior to leaving on this trip with my friends, my mum and Anthony were visiting us in the US and we did almost this identical trip together in my truck. It was one of the best experiences we had together as a family - the open road, the scenery, no schedule to keep and days upon days of time to talk and laugh together.
RIP Anthony Doyle of Birkenhead, UK. 1948 - 2022. You were an incredible man, father figure and husband to my mum, your wife, Lyn. Thank you for loving her and being her rock for the last nearly 25 years. Thank you for all the support, love and guidance you gave me throughout the years. You are missed and will be forever in our hearts.

My deepest condolences. Great video as usual...
Thanks Bernie!!
Fun! Sorry for your loss. Next up, northern Cascades--most amazing drive ever.
Looks like great fun James!
So much fun! Cheers!
Awesome James! Happy porsche summer
Cheers Trond! You too!
Great video of a beautiful trip I wish I could have joined.
TOTD 9/28 to 10/4…! Just saying… 🙃
So glad to see you back on YT, James. Sorry I missed you on the trip. I wanted to make it. My dog, Annie, just passed this week on Wed. night. She kept me home-bound for the last several months and is the reason I could not attend. I'm sorry for the loss of your wife's dad. Every now and then, life sucks! -Tom.
All the hearts. Ready for the next one!
🙌🙌🙌♥️
Some nice footage of some great roads! Well done!
Cheers mate and was so great having you there!!
James, missed you for Pikes Peak and more Rocky Mountain driving, hope you’re able to make it back in the future. Independence Pass in July is nothing short of breathtaking as you make your way into Aspen from the south. My condolences on your loss, god speed.
Thank you mate! Much appreciated!
❤️
Sorry for your loss i would have definitely enjoyed this in my 911 looking to do some open road driving soon.
Thank you. 🙌
James - will you be attending this years (2022) Porsche at Indy again? Would like to stop by and say hi if you are! You seriously motivate me on my 996!
Cheers Steve!! I don’t know yet actually I’m afraid. I’m going to try, but it might just be for one of the days like the Saturday.
Sorry to hear of your loss. Keep living and driving James!
Cheers Joseph! Appreciate it.
Love it mate. Nice tribute to Anthony at the end there. I know it’s been rough run. My thoughts are with you.
Cheers brother. ♥️🙌
Great to see you again buddy. So sorry for your loss. Your step dad will be incredibly proud of you. I had some terrible news today as well. My best friend lost his son who drowned on holiday. We are absolutely devasted as he was only 4 and loved playing with my son cameron.
Oh man, that’s awful, what a tragedy. I’m so sorry to hear that news. I’ll be giving my kids extra kisses at bedtime. Cheers. 🙌♥️
When’s the next Tail of the Dragon run!?
9/30 to 10/3… not long now!!
What’s the best way to get more details / on the list?
Stay tuned for my next video. It will be a channel update with all the details about the tour. The full itinerary will be on AutoAmateur.com also.
Are you missing the 991.1 though?
Oh absolutely. Haha. But then I still miss my 997 too.
Another great video mate. Nice to see you back. Someday I hope I can drive my car with you guys.
Cheers Costas! 9/30 to 10/3… return to the Tail of the Dragon. Saddle up cowboy!!
James’ excellent adventure. Would love to tag along sometime.
Come along! TOTD this 9/30 to 10/3.
Great Video!
Great drive indeed. Did you make it by Chimney Rock? Come to Omaha sometime. Take the family to the zoo, have breakfast with the Great Plains Region! And... very sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family, James.
Thanks so much Jeremey! Appreciate it.
Is the road noise that bad in the 911’s? My cayman and panamera were not that noisy..
Oh yes. The cabin noise was reduced somewhat in the 997 and I think they got it right with the 991. The 996 is pretty raw and loud from that perspective.
@@AutoAmateur thanks for the response. Love your videos. Still deciding between 991.1 or 997. Lol
That's a nice problem to have!! :)
Hey, can we get your email address to check on an order. Thanks!
Sure! contact@autoamateur.com
