Are you taking the boat or the car for this race?
That boat looked rough! I feel like there's american powerboats that wouldve been much smoother
5:17 Captain slow vs weak speed bump.
I wonder why did they changed the music at 9:17, IIRC it was Sing by Blur that was originally playing while the montage was happening. Was it yt copyright or maybe the license expired?
The line at 2:32 doesn't make a lot of sense if you haven't seen the first part of the film
Ferrari never referred to the 365GTB4 as Daytona. That was the Americans as previous Ferraris were successful at the Daytona race track. Ferrari looks down on anyone who calls the car Daytona.
just tell the italian police that you are transporting 50 illegal Zulus in the trunk, dammit!
Can't stop terrorism but they can annoy people who obviously aren't up to trouble.
I wonder how it would have gone without the police
May running on camera?
I love this about these guys, is, you can see they're mates.
Jeremy was, always, the problem. Bull-headed and loud and clownish – but these two, they're actually friends, they're nice to each other even despite their on-screen banter, and they agree more often than they disagree. And you see it even to this day with Drivetribe. They're still friends !
Dirty rotten pigs
Why are Italian police such stuck up sissies?
This is where "CAPTAIN SLOW" said he got his bad back from 😂
james crashing in his own seat in the boat just gets me every time i rewatch this
The music is just awful with the loss of the original licenses.
Don't meet your heroes. The Daytona drives like a middle 80s Chevy truck. Pretty though.
What a stunning car
It I'm in the Daytona I would just cruise and enjoy myself lol
I was expecting that someone was going to also be stopped by the gestapo and have to show their papers, at some point.
