Sorry for failing to get a video clip on since robgt's Vantage S came out of the Bamford Rose operating theatre on Saturday. However, if you would like to hear the live version then get along to one of the two AMOC Area 5 meets this month:

Tonight (1st August) at:

Talbot Inn
Chaddesley Corbett
Kidderminster
Worcs
DY10 4SA

and on Tuesday 14th August at:

The Royal Oak
Much Marcle
Ledbury
Herefordshire

Would be nice to see some of our PH friends there wavey

Rob/Molly well done on getting your BR'd
Its a shame I completely forgot about the monthly meets (none of the emails have been coming through to remind me), it would have great to see the efforts of Mike, Adrian and Gary.
I'll try and make it down next month if I can fit it into my mental schedule!

Regards
Max

OK Mikey, sorry for the delay. Here's a brief clip. The quality is a bit ccensoredp but we will try to get the cameraman trained. Bear with it to the end when the camera shot goes haywire but you get to hear the change-down smokin

Think that's called a teaser Molly, sounds great though. Look forward to the full version - might even see if Chris's bark is as good as the one from that exhaust in that one.smile

Maybe too slow a clip to tell you much but here you go anyway (plus bonus of other AM's for comparison):

"After their driving adventure through Herefordshire and into the Brecon Beacons the Astonauts arrive at The Gliffaes to refresh themselves for the homeward journey (with afternoon tea on the terrace )

Meanwhile, sometime later, Tony (& Jamie) manage to round up the car at the back of the pack (Jockman):

Clips work best if you pause and let them load before playing"

Here's a better example of the before sound for you from a friend who was on the Alpine Tour with us and he posted this up elsewhere on the forum last week:

"Hi Rob, Molly and the rest of you AM owners

I was with Rob and Molly on the Petrolhead Nirvana tour and I can confirm that the Vantage S sounds (and performs) beautifully

I am in the process of uploading a video of their car to Vimeo, I will send out the link when it's live. The video was taken when we got to Reims on the last day and it's the 'before' sound of the Vantage S with the standard exhaust.....though I am sure you will agree there is nothing standard about the sound!

As a side note, Rob and Molly, it was an absolute genuine pleasure meeting and driving with you guys, hope to see you on the Alpine South tour next year! x

The weather forecast has improved - looks like being a good evening for a meet - anyone else going to be in Herefordshire later? We will be at:

The Royal Oak
Much Marcle
Ledbury
Herefordshire
HR8 2ND

Would be nice to see some of you guys there and it's an easy one to get to from the Midlands or South Wales as it's not far off the M50 smile

Some may love that, and great that you love it, good to be different.

For me, it's Kristin Scott Thomas...in a VonDutch cap.

But that's just me. I still have a minor issue with the vents in my bonnet, so take no notice.

Bear in mind, it's a switchable system. Don't want to attract attention or just want to quietly make progress, you can wind the volume right down.

Love it Mooly and Rob, really do - look forward to hearing it in the flesh / aloo-min-um.
