Come for a drive with me.

[xdrfox]

Liked to have seen you water the green house plants,at your son's place !

[xdrfox]

Were are we going ? Are we there yet ?

How fast were you going @ 5 min in ?

I didn't know you were a Rally Driver !

Wow slow down a bit ! lol

Are we there yet ?

How many tickets have you ? Just funnin with yeah !

Are we there yet ?

Didn't take you long to caught up with that truck you speed demon !

Can we walk about and see the land ?

More more please, like to see more of your country, it's very nice there !

[captainalaric]

Good to know you're not one of those old people who're obsessed with braking at every corner / passing vehicle / pedestrian / tree / atmosphere. I wish everyone drove like you do!

[179178]

Driving on the left side kinda threw me off....very different for me. I can say one thing, you may be an older gentleman, but you sure don't drive like an old man! I wish more elderly people here in the U.S. drove like you do. I am a truck driver by trade, so I do this professionally. And I must say, you drive better than most. Enjoyed the ride. Maybe someday, I would love to come over, and have a ride for real, and u can show me around. I couldn't imagine a better guide.

[iamchase4life]

I would pay so much money for a GPS with your voice :)

[VinylToVideo]

Watching this is weird; I keep feeling like there's going to be a head on collision.

[AuntLissa53]

Thanks for the ride - I had a good time.

[aurapet]

you are so right about boring car rides with automatics & wait till you turn on cruise control. That's really why loud stereo's are so popilar in cars now ad days.

[vosogo]

Wonderful video! Wish I could ship my bike over and ride that road...

[warbaby45]

Feel you would rather be on a motorcyle on these roads.

[tjwaines]

Absoulutely love the fact your still 'hitting the appex' at your age. Fingers crossed I still will be when I'm your age !

[fatcamper]

Hey Peter, I just have to ask you...are you the Stig?

[akaRubyHeart]

Oof Peter, I got a little carsick watching this vid! Haha!

[harveyknox]

I literally panicked for the first 30 seconds watching it waiting for an accident because we drive on the right side in the US. I don’t know if I could rewire my brain to drive on the left ir not. Lol. Lovely countryside though!!

[JamieHail]

Is this towards Leeds - Some amazing driving roads down there!

[oneiblind30]

Thanks. I will email this to all my boys. I loved it.

[Tayplupe]

Nice video Peter. I loved what you said about those drivers who ride their brakes.They are frustrating. Your driving philosophy is very much the same as mine.

[empressita]

I was in England 30 years ago---still beautiful!!!

[addemoto]

Thumbs up for the #1 geriatric racer!

[emma2lynn]

that was great! I felt so much at home :) now since I live in Poland when I visit my grandma in Northamps she takes me on trips like that to show me the local changes and landscapes. thank you!!

[alphadelta227529KITT]

I know it has been said before but, you're driving on the wrong side of the road! #LOL My mom drives a Prius. You pronounce it differently. Here in the US, we say it like "Preeus"

[geriatric1927]

@alphadelta227529KITT Yep I think that is how we pronounce it here too but a gertiatric confusion :)

[GILLYRUTH]

@alphadelta227529KITT You lot always use soft vowels,,but we love you anyway!

[mmorandin]

Nice drive thanks for taking us along

[shaunieboy1978]

your videos constantly amaze me and entertain me i always watch them and will continue to do so. you are a true gent and you have my attention always. thankyou and continue to post your awesome videos sir.

[DarkCityDave]

Peter, have you ever had a Cooper and if so, compared to the Prius, would you go back?

[geriatric1927]

@DarkCityDave No never had a Cooper, the only mini i ever had was a basic tin box, but my last car was a Mercedes SLK so the Prius is no where near as much fun.

[Ugluk1000]

Wow, interesting video! Felt a little bit like Top Gear at times!

[KateMcCridhe]

I kept swerving my head and leaning a bit with the video... and, yes, being another right side of the road driver, I tended to tense up when turning corners. Hee hee... grand fun! Lovely country. I'd rather have a motorcycle on those roads, though...

[rexlv2000]

That is the kind of trip i would like to take in the DAYTIME. You won't catch me doing that at night! Good trip Peter! Now maybe you can plant some banana peppers. Nice ride!

[RyanThomasRobinson]

The Geriatric Sat-Nav! :)

[dclews]

Nice drive Peter and it sounds like you've passed your Advanced Driving Test at sometime - you certainly used a lot of techniques I was taught before I took my ADT. Wish I encountered more drivers like you. Thanks.

[geriatric1927]

@dclews Yes I did pass my advanced driving test when I reached 70 year old and like you would encourage all drivers to do it. My grandson has taken my advice and passed his for motorcycles and it is therefore not only for the elderly.

[kelvinwontcry2]

I took this trip with you for the third time now - it's such a nice video :-)! The first time, I was all like "nerves!!", because, let's face it: Being indoctrinated with driving on the right side of the street my whole life, I have a hard time adjusting to that constant "ride on the passing lane" the British do, haha! Had i been driving, we 'd have rammed the white lorry that came at us on that one left turn, by the way.

I love the landscape, but the roads are really VERY narrow at places :-O!

[geriatric1927]

@kelvinwontcry2 It is no fun driving on wide freeways narrow and twisty is the only way to have a little bit of fun.

[wrayvideos]

your son is very lucky to have you to do his watering! great drive, thanks for the video

[periurban]

I don't drive, so it was fascinating hearing your corner by corner commentary. Kinda reminded me of Murray Walker! Looks like you made good time.

[russtex]

Lovely drive!

[ETlerin]

a ghost driver...

[JohnfronNZ]

Hi Peter, great video as always

You mentioned the B lever for slowing.

The Prius is a battery assisted petrol powered car. The job of the battery and electric motors is to assist acceleration and recover energy when decelerating. This means when you use the brake at speed the real brakes do nothing - the electric motors regenerate into the battery. This "B gear" is only for long descents with the battery full. My advice - to get the best fuel economy ride the brakes like "Those People" do :-)

[JohnfronNZ]

@JohnfronNZ

I haven't explained that very well. Perhaps "ride the brakes" is OTT - just drive in "D" and slow with brakes only unless you are on a long descent and you filled the battery already then use "B". This site explains it better: answers.yahoo.com/question/ind­ex?qid=20070704084852AAKU3fC. This web site does a good job explaining how to drive a Prius (boringly) to get the best fuel economy: kbtoyota.com/priusmileage.html­. Sorry I'm being a nerdy Prius Geek. :-(

[anmoose]

Haha! By halfway through this drive, you were pushing the little beast pretty hard, and it seemed like it was responding rather snappily. It was fun riding with you, and enjoying the countryside.

[macco360]

You speed demon you! Haha. You do it with appropriate caution too, so bravo. Do you ever feel you want to get behind a motorcycle again? With proper speed of course. :)

Wonderful countryside. It reminds me of my days in upstate New York outside of Manhattan. Thank you Peter.

[NeoGee]

Peter, do you know anyone with a Caterham? That'd make for an interesting video ;)

[seanseanseanseansean]

That was a fun ride. Mind the rocky hedges on the sides of the car, lest you have to repaint your carriage.

[Evershear]

Nice video. Being form the US is is weird to me to watch the video since you guy drive on the left side. But I am sure it might seem weird if you were over here too. Thanks for sharing the video

[Dorias77]

Places like that make me wonder why people ever invented cities.

[lilyenc]

the english countryside never fails to fascinate me. It is gorgeous :)

[Bullen934]

What car do you have? :)

[jbdazen]

I literally tried to avoid all the cars coming at you but luckily they were on the wrong side as well :P Very unsettling :-)

[fehquig]

The B feature stands for "Brake." What it does is it engages a generator when your foot is not on the accelerator. It slows you down and behaves like an engine brake, but while it does that it takes your kinetic energy and charges your battery with it. It's supposed to be a fuel saving feature. I drove one of those cars as a taxi for a while, and just kept it in B mode all the time...

[geriatric1927]

@fehquig Thank you for that information. I thought that the energy went to the battery ever time that you went into over-run when your foot was off the accelerator and also when using the brakes a kinetic energy recycle system but without engaging that B position there was no engine braking. There is a menue if you activate the screen to see diagrams of where the energy is going but why would you want to take your eyes off the road to look. :)

[swissmrkc]

i watched this last night on my phone before bed, brought back great memories driving in europe. thanks.

[RoxxyRiotT]

I've been having a pretty crap day so far but watching this video has actually really cheered me up... so thank you :)

[XFLAKERSX]

so weird seeing people drive on the left side :P

[bella0284]

The closest I've gotten to driving in England. Beautiful countryside.

[donkeywarmer]

You should do more of these kinda vids, I enjoyed them. you should do a tour of parts of derbyshire.

[liquidribs]

hey peter you are a wonderful driver! was suprised to hear the prius scream at some points. beautiful scenery too.. would wish to ride my bike on such a beautiful road

[OptimaxX]

I live in Derbyshire. Beautiful part of the world.

[IconOfSin88]

Ooh, It's beautiful over there! Reminds me of the lil' village in the countryside where I grew up in.

[MrFictive]

You are so awesome with technology! Gah! I have a grandmother about 20 years younger than you, and she can't even answer her mobile phone. Sir, you are an inspiration. Thankyou for uploading! :D

[jonnyrobinson1]

I find it very strange that your gasoline(petrol as you call it in the UK) is purchased by the liter and yet your speed is measured in miles per hour. I had always assumed that the UK used the metric system for everything as is done in Canada. So, is an automobile's mileage measured in miles per liter or do you convert it to miles per gallon?? Oh, nice informative video by the way.

[geriatric1927]

@jonnyrobinson1 yes we have a strange mixture of weights and measures but the mileage of a car is quoted in miles per gallon.Did you know that it costs 140pence per litre here which is about £7 per gallon so all manufacturers try to boast about the economy of their particular makes but to get what they might claim would mean driving it like an invalid carriage.No fun at all.

[MrBigDaddyT]

looks a lot like New Zealand

[hunhun23]

That was a lovely driver, Peter! England has some of the most beautiful countryside!

[amd2q9]

man why is English countryside so beautiful and charming...the countryside here in Missouri USA is fucking gross. At least I live in the city

[TylerGWelch]

You're driving on the wrong side of the road, bro.

[TigerlilyCO2011]

Hello Grandad! Such a beautiful drive and so nice and green. I shall have to share this with my Mom as she is missing home since watching the Royal wedding and she would enjoy this so much!

[tridecca]

Nice video. (Those pavement arrows in your lane at 5:40 - 5:42 surprised me.)

[bboschboi]

i wish we had road like that here in canada :/

[bboschboi]

i wish we had raod like that around here

[baileyrodgers]

as beautiful as the countryside was, i felt incredibly uneasy watching this video ... i guess that's just the drive-on-the-other-side-of-the­-road-american in me ;)

[Granny100110]

That was fun Peter! You're a bit of 'lead foot' but I like that about you! :-) Oh and what about the sign that said Slow on the road? I think you picked up speed! lol Those roads would be fun on a motorcycle for sure! Thanks again for the tour, your camera works well.

[Foifede]

Thank you for that wonderful scenic trip, it is always such a pleasure to see and remember what nature looks like at its best.

[FlyByPC]

Sometimes I worry about driving with people, since they don't really know what they're doing. I get the impression that I'd worry about driving with you mostly because you *do*! Nice commentary -- I agree that a standard-shift can be more fun to drive, but the Prius is really an amazing piece of technology.

[JeffreyJack87]

I forgot things were different in the UK and for the 1st 30 seconds I thought you were on the wrong side of the road! lol great video Peter 

[Bernie1927]

Great, Peter. Don't you think the Prius is a great little car? Sure, no stick shift but I must say I do prefer the automatic, especially in heavy traffic. My wannabe NASCAR days are over. You still have that old lead foot, especially when the sign says "SLOW", right? I remember a few years ago, we visited England with the plan of driving to Scotland. I picked up the crappy rental in downtown London, during the rush hour, and we almost got creamed at the first roundabout. I looked left first.

[derekcolman]

I really enjoyed that, Peter. I guess your nothing to do comment means you miss the old double declutching days. I liked Zipster's comment.

[Carballoca]

Think ya got a little bit of a lead foot there Peter...lol Beautiful countryside although being from the U.S. the ride was a little hairy at parts being on the wrong side of the road for me....I know I know it`s the right side for you...lol

[STR8UPWITHU2]

my god man ! you should change your utube name to "leadfoot1927" lol

[Doubleringer]

I don't believe it - no pot holes!

[Argentium009]

Ahh, I have to do a video of me driving through Philly streets for you Peter. Just so you've got something to compare it to and realize how nice you've got it there. :)

[kathie1213]

Thanks for the ride. Beautiful countryside. Fast driver; I can tell you enjoy it.

[lady12480]

What a beautiful place

[noferblatz]

Peter, you drive taster than any granddad I've ever seen.

[kieran1990able]

so sweet of u grand dad,,,nice view of the UK I think so. But its 0.005% nice natural view i guess coz my country got 95% solid natural view.

[EvilgidgitReturns]

You should present Top Gear.

[lucabadoer1]

Nice work! You ought to do the F1 commentary.

[turnermedman1231]

great video peter, don't drive myself, but that was very nice as a passenger, really enjoyed it

[tafkase7en]

Thanks for taking me on a ride through your gorgeous countryside.

[BandoBrit]

Beautiful. =D

[NinaHoney3]

Aww, thanks for the ride grandad, take me with you anytime <3

[socoant2]

this video scares the hell out of me when the on comming cars approach. i would never be able to drive in the UK....LOL

[warabe53]

How nice to see a proper driver

[leezaal]

Hi geriatric did you use to race back in the day ? it looks like you have had some race track time in the past, just a suspicion. Thanks for letting us come for a drive with you, it was nice to be a passenger for a change.

[Taddylicious]

Are you living in Derbyshire or are you just driving through? I lived there for a year and I miss it so much it's so nice there (: But well, I miss England..

[missdivinestalls]

This gorgeous countryside makes me miss England.

[btryhard7]

this was great and probably better time wise for you. but i think you need some topics :)

[claudiastrauss]

Fun! Would have liked to see the inside, though (I have a nosy side )

[svtcontour]

What a wonderful drive. I can tell you're a car guy. I bet you would like a full manual gearbox inside a car that has a small block V8 engine with some decent handling and feedback from the road and a good roar :) By the way those were some very narrow roads at the end of the trip.

[geriatric1927]

@svtcontour yes indeed, the previous car was a Mercedes sports so quite different and much more fun to drive but have now had to go to something more sedate.

[PlummieXD]

I live really close to the peak district and its one of the most beautiful places in the world.. My favourite place in haddon sat outside the pub, i cant remember the name of but it looks across a valley with fields full of sheep :D

[WERTY317]

OMG I think you drive faster than I do. Maybe it just seems that way. You are on the "other side: of the road and you know the road. Very nice road though.

[vulcanusii]

You can tell you used to drive motorbikes ;)

[geyser]

You'd make an excellent driving instructor...

[DarkShadows791]

WOW, you drive fast! LOL

Beautiful place to live..

[downhill240]

An entertaining trip!

[x10secsx]

nice to see something new

[IcEye89]

I would like you to do the voice on a satnav

[underanindiansky]

Peter - my husband and I have inherited a house in Darley Dale, I would love to meet you one day! I am not sure where in Derbyshire you live, but probably not too far away!

[Zipster08]

Beautiful countryside, but you're driving on the wrong side of the road!!

[geriatric1927]

@Zipster08 yes I know, it's more fun that way. :)

[derekcolman]

@Zipster08 . You're incorrigible.

[RTX94]

In Great Britain, you drive on the left? I had no idea.

[ClickHere247]

Your a marvel to all your age! So many older folk drive like grannies!!! (No pun intended!!)

[StevenJeNova]

Looks like fun roads for motorcyclists as well (be that driving responsibly too).

[EmCSpiteri1]

Yes, we could hear the engine it drowned whatever you were saying.

[XtremeApocalypse]

for all those who arent able to hear peter very well: just turn down the bass and you'll be able to hear him much better :-)

[Paralyzer]

hey geriatric! nice video :) but you are driving on the wrong side of the road. in sweden we drive on the right side :)

[HSharratt]

I loved this- I'm a Derby lass at university in London so miss the lovely Derbyshire countryside- this made me quite homesick!

[CptSchmidt]

You've definitely no fear of the gas pedal :D I love a speedy drive on a lovely day such as this.

[cockatooadam]

@ORiGiNaLKW1 he isnt old.

he is just at max level

[onnet7]

I bet you'd make a good driving instructor.

[yilba]

My car is so scruffy on the left side of the car for having to move over for other cars haha. The little country lanes are so tight around where I live!

[paul1967uk]

I recognise that road. :-)

[js4ks]

;o 5050505m comment

[J4M3SPR]

nice

[JTsuperboy]

you are awesome

[deloreandmc88]

awesome :D

[unknownguyperson]

try getting mic ? could clip it too your shirt, the car noise is loud kinda :)

[geriatric1927]

@unknownguyperson yes the mic on the camera is in the front and near to the engine but could do the video and mute the sound and then do a commentary via the mic in the software (iMovie) will do better next time.

[IRAQI6TNT]

@geriatric1927 Or, you can do the commentary without muting the video :D

[parapenteHans]

@geriatric1927 , it is far better this ( the original) way! Your are still good to hear.

And you take me on the trip realistic, naration from bhind the computer would spoil it.

By the way, I loved every minute of your drive, I even didn't get carsick, you are a good driver.

Strange that they put word's on the road itself. Every time the same one.

I'm not really good with the englisch language, so can you help me:

What does that word "SLOW" mean? ;-)

Thanks Hans

[geriatric1927]

@parapenteHans slow = go at less speed.

[OriginalYTName]

I hope I'm like you when I get into my 80's!

hi geriatric! 1st comment!!!
