Great vid CH. Im normally quick to criticise the mix of track vs real world info but this vid nailed it. All 3 cars are beyond my means, but this vid took me into the cockpit of each.

I will say one thing though, I have seen and read some truly pathetic attempts to try and play-down the job of Performance Car Motoring Journo, but the 5 second effort at the start of this vid truly plumbed new depths of woe-is-me crapulence. Blasting across Wales? In those 3? To Anglesey? But has to get up at half five? Dry your eyes princess. I don't think your day will be too terrible.

Agree. Now if he had another job on top of putting the motoring video's together I'd understand. m

Seriously? I thought it captured that great moment we've all had before a fun road trip, to the lovely burble of warming engines really nicely. Great way to start the vid.

Just got round to watching the vid. Excellent stuff and back on form, CH. Not just track slidey stuff (getting tedious) but also a nice talk round the cars along with their on-road performance / nuances. *Really* enjoyed that

God i love that Aston! Great vid Chris Thanks.

Another great film from Chris. I love his enthusiasm, knowledge & telling it how it is. Thoroughly enjoyed this all the way through & now have the munchies for Welshcakes. I have always wanted at GT3 in particular & if I could I would definitely get the 991.

Interesting how he says he would take the gt3.. for a year

wonder if the question changed slightly; what car would he have, to live with?

- would the advancement in technology of the gt3 get dull after a while and out of date when times move on
- perhaps the c and aston are more timeless ? or perhaps according to his other videos, he would be more happy to live with a 3.8 gt3 7.2 with a suspension mod and lsd

out of those 3 cars, to have one for a year, the gt3 is a no brainer for me, but what happens when you start thinking what car you would like to live with and keep long term ???

Good points...... the answer, for me at least, would still be GT3.....

The car appears to have raised the game in such an innovative and clever way that can be used as a daily driver and simultanneously delivering such awesome effectively 458 Speciale performance (see Autocars Steve Sutcliffes short test), possibly sounding better with all the usual practicalities of a (2 seater) 911 and at less than half the price of the Fezza with virtually guaranteed bomb proof residuals to boot.....

This might swing it, sure there are a few nervous UK GT3 owners out there. Aston with a works fitted manual for me.

It also doesn't make me think less of Porsche, but look at the hysteria from a few people here about a defective piece of plastic in Aston Martin accelerator pedals.
