Thank you so very much, Pete, for taking us along on your wonderful journey / adventure! Seeing parts of the world which I hope to visit someday was bloody fantastic.

Looks amazing mate!

Painting memories in your head for years to come…do all the drives you can Peter..the costs are far greater if you don’t do them…..and one day you wake up and find you can’t because of dozens of reasons and those hurt…they really, really hurt. I have been lucky and travelled many, many mountain passes and some in the days of loose surface which adds even more fun..or terror…but there are more to do…and time is short when you get older. I’m glad you enjoyed it but now, do it again but with Tracey beside you and make those roads even more special. Stay young Peter…50 is not old…74 is much, much worse! 🫣🫣😬😀😀😀😀😀Now…time to get my SL sorted out for a trip like that..if only my far better half could get in it more easily…age is hard work sometimes! 😎

Amazing series you did here, the last bit of driving was just out of this world. The only small very small detail is that the GTS is a bit too silent, he needs an exhaust :), apart from that for sure one of your best videos ever, and you have a lot of good ones. ;)

My wife and I spent an incredible day in a Boxster S here a few years ago. We were based near Nice and the Monte Carlo Rally had just finished. The weather was cold but bright and sunny. All day long, we had the roads to ourselves and, to give you an idea of how much fun we had, our full tank was empty by the end of the morning!

So, you're driving behind a 720S and a F12 on some of the best driving roads in the world, and you're keeping up no problem at all, in a car with half the horsepower. This proves that 350-400hp is more than enough for the road. I'm sure the turbo helps going up hill, but at no time did you look as if you were struglling to keep up. I also think for the average driver in a convoy like that, PDK/DCT reveals its strengths. That Red Rock Road looks very challenging at pace. I don't think I'd like to drive it in a manual at pace in a convoy. Well done!
