Mate- I am so sorry to hear about your dad, I recently lost my own father figure in my grandpa, he loved cars and trains and has definitely passed that passion onto me which is why I am watching your videos. I am sure your dad is very proud of your success! Keep strong- all the very best!

Such a legendary car, the holy trinity of hypercars is an iconic era that will go down in history

What an amazing tribute to your father with the Defender video Sam. So sorry for your loss, sending my love to you and your family ❤

I heard the music, saw the title, and kinda felt that energy of what may have been the reason behind the defender video, I'm definitely not mentally prepared to experience such a tragedy with my dad, and I'm extremely sorry for your loss.

The sound of the turbo when you come off the power is intoxicating!

must be nice

Man the way the P1 sits is just beautiful, sooooo sleek!

Also just watched your Defender video Sam - beautiful tribute that I'm sure he watched you film with a proud smile. Please take all the time you need, and we'll all still be here to share your journeys when you're ready 🙏

The P1 is my ultimate dream car. All the sounds it makes when driving is just incredible. Your pov angle is so good, makes it feel almost real!

Sam, the Creedence music and bigfoot sticker from the Defender vid will make me smile for months to come. A wonderful tribute to your Dad.

I didn’t know P1 00V ended up in Australia, what a surprise

I think In Australia you can register any letter and number combo you like, hence the same as GB.

P1’s the one for me. Lucky enough to have been in a friend’s P1 at Spa and Senna at Portimao. No other McLaren makes the noise of the P1 and the LT’s sound so tame in comparison. It’s such an angry and totally unique sound. Everything about it is just spaceship, and at full chat it sounds like it wants to rip a hole in the space-time continuum. Senna didn’t have a patch on it for excitement factor. Such a shame that so many of them sit undriven

Condolences on the loss of your father Sam, your last video was beautifully done. Wishing you strength & peace.

Sam I just saw your last video of you driving your Father's 20-year-old Defender. I'm so so😢sorry for your incredibly hard loss. I lost my father October 30th 2020 to stage 4 Terminal long Cancer he was only 70 yr old.. I am named after him he was the third I'm the forth we share the same first and middle names. Just know that he will always be in your heart ❤️ forever my friend.

Having spent some time in the passenger seat of a P1, I can confirm it is absolutely incredible

Your video with the 918 is still my favourite of yours of all time. Having lived in NZ for 15 years now, watching these videos really makes me appreciate how much emptier our roads are, and how much more lenient our traffic laws are (particularly if you have a LEGAL radar detector and drive normally around towns and bigger highways). You can really have so much fun on NZ backroads compared to Australia without worrying about being thrown in jail!

Great work as always Sam. Having just read your father's obituary in the Telegraph, I thought I would pass on my condolences. You have clearly inherited much of his entrepreneurial flair.

I’m so sorry for your loss Sam of your father. He will dearly be missed by many and you will always be supported from all of your supporters 👍

Hi There I could not comment on your Defender Vid but I wanted to share this with you I own a 2008 Defender just like your dads and when i go i want two things to happen One is I want my Defender to take me on my last journey and i want my Son too keep it and run it for as long as he can maybe pass it on to my Grandson There are special just like your Dad we dads have faults just like the Defender we are not perfect and as we age we get the same problems as defenders part fail we start to rattle and we are not as fast as we were once in life but what you see is what you get a strong personality and a workhorse which provides for the family You enjoy every min you can young man with your dads car you have something very special indeed all the best for 2024 I so much enjoy your videos Kindest Regards

Exactly, nice touch to a Great British icon 👌🏽

I spoke with Frank Stevenson when this came out, I was working at Mclaren at the time. I said to him it looks like something from the future, the funny thing is, his reply “this is old to us, 6 years in fact” goes to show how much work went into this. I spent a lot of time working on the composite parts of this. Hopefully once day I’ll have a passenger ride!

Another masterclass video. P1 is something so special ! The POV part was amazing Sam !

My condolences on the loss of your father.

Sorry for your loss Sam

Heartfelt condolences Dude

Some of the best POV content of any KZread channel - What a car....!! Merry Christmas All - Thanks for another Leetrally amazing video Sam 🤘🙌

I think the P1 has aged the best of the three. The 918 was my favourite at the time but design wise its aged the quickest.

@arnoud3986

More like a totally stunning design for the 918 but with complicated (now outdated) hybrid tech and a ride devoid of passion and spectacle with its AWD system. 918 is the best daily for the three though. LaF is to me the one to have with it's powertrain/gearbox/V12/RWD

Sorry to hear the news mate, I went through the same thing earlier this year. Stay strong.

Mate you defender video was awesome - could really feel the emotion in it - what a fantastic tribute to your pops - amazing work- hope you never get rid of that defender

Great vid Sam. I knew the P1 was fast but frikkin hell it’s turned the clock back it’s that fast 😂. At start of the video it was just after 7pm and at 11 mins in its only 6.54pm. Great stuff mate love it bud

I just love the engine sounds of the P1, I would have a P1 over a LaF and 918.

One of the greatest cars ever made. With the correct design spec tyres (I think it is Pirelli P-Zero Cut Pro or thereabouts) the P1 is fastest out of the holy trinity and easily the best looking as looks like it comes from outer space. Poster car, and some ❤

Great content once again Sam, the sound of this P1 is amazinggggg!!! Yes, you're right, the reflection on the windscreen is very poor!!

Sorry for your loss Sam - tough gig losing your Dad. Hoping that 2024 is kinder to you and your family.

So sorry for your loss sam. The video you made was very heartfelt! My prayers go out to you and your family

I've enjoyed your output this last year. Looking forward to seeing what you're up to in '24. In the meantime have a great Christmas.

The Aussie trip was great viewing Sam.....glad you enjoyed our fine country again.

Liked the video before I even started watching it because I already know it’s going to be a slapper

Great time watching, as always I’m French in Australia for a few months and I haven’t got the chance to come see you at the Cars and Coffee in Melbourne because I had to be 6h away for a new job. Hoping to see you in France one day! I actually see a lot of cities from my area in your video, I live in the north of France :) Thanks for you work!

I fricken love the P1. My favourite car of all time! 💙

I didn’t know a P1 dumped like that 😍😍 stunning sounds

An absolutely marvellous video Sam, I’ve seen your defender video my thoughts are with you and your family at this time absolutely love your videos thank you for making them and giving us a point of view experience of driving a P1

Great content as always!

Such a timeless machine 🔥🔥

McLaren P1 is a sight to see !👀

Well done Sam ol' boy! Great drive!

Merry Christmas 🎄🎁⛄

I thought to my self Sam does that strange ok sign thing with his hand a lot, now I can’t unsee it. I like the plate on the p1 , P1 OOV same as the UK press car. (Not sure if this was mentioned in video)

I first drove a P1 in Austria in 2018. Epic.

I can't wait to see parts 2 and 3 of this series about driving a McLaren

Lovely Sam, a dream car for sure!

Had to come here and give my sincere condolences to you Sam. I’ve been there and it hurts so bad, but as long as we remember our loved ones they are never really gone. My heart goes out to you ❤️

We Brits love the rainy videos as well :)

Coffee and STG! What a early afternoon

Awesome vidoe, would be great to own one some day. Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰

The new Countach has really caught my eye. Very nice.

Beautiful car and drive

What a perfectly stunning spec. for this ultimate machine.

Frank Stephenson did an amazing job on the P1. It is an all time design highlight.

Saddest thing I heard was the battery tech was hard to get replaced which pushes them to sit and not be driven… So sad that the tech in it is the thing that’ll cause them eventually to be unserviceable.. gonna be interesting for future vehicles such as the SF90 to see if they meet the same fate and become unusable…

@DeeperImageAutomotive

There is an updated battery and charger for the P1, but it costs $300,000 to replace both. Battery alone is around $190,000, plus $45,000 for the new charger, and labor. While you're doing that job, McLaren will recommend changing a few other things, so the job ends up being around 300k. That's the real reason many P1s don't have the battery fixed or upgraded, not that there is a shortage or hard to find. Even for someone that can easily buy a P1, its a tough pill to swallow for something that doesn't keep the car from being driven, and adds like 10 more HP.

Thanks so much for an awesome video sam.wow wow wow.from dan.m

Here to see your Challenge Stradale purchase. 😊

What a experience to have sam . P1 is the ultimate hyper car same la ferrari

As soon as you stepped in the P1, I was waiting for the "What is life?!" Phrase😂

Sam is it hard to drive a left hand drive car in Australia?

Wow! Just wow

Nah P1 was always my favourite of the three!!!

The hybrid battle era of 2015 released 3 cars that began the “hypercar” era and those 3 cars will appreciate to ungodly levels over the years.

Are there any Australian designed and manufactured supercars? Brabham?

Still one of my favorite cars

When does the CS finally arrive?

Might be the craziest rear end in automotive history

Looking at the license plate of this car... Is it the same as the "P1 OOV" Mclaren XP car that was the one driven by Chris Harris, Clarkson and many others? Seems like the same sort of black-purple? Wasn't that surely a story worth telling?

It was the first thing I noticed about the car. P1 OOV as a license plate is legendary for a P1 and a great nod to add to their car. It was definitely worth mentioning.

THAT IS THE SAME P1 THAT CLARKSON DROVE ON TOP GEAR BY THE WAY
