Wowser, love the decals, love the sound from the exhaust but I wouldnt personally go as far as the rear wing - albeit that it looks great in context here for the owner.

Hes probably had the springs set a little too low and hard too - you can see it hit the tarmac at 2:20(ish)!

He got an "unimpressed" reception on there
I suspect it will be worse on here

Why, does it not have 26" chrome wheels with 15 section tyres on?

[silverspeed]

And why has he got his B & O on ???

I did a Gumball that Fred was on back around 2003 and he had a modified 996TT. He's always been into modifying his cars is seems. Good news is I saw a picture of him and a girl I know on facebook with the car and matching shoes! That's attention to detail.

I say fair play to him, his car, his choices and he uses the things. Seem strange to me though to start with a car with standard seats. If you're going to make it more extreme I would definitely have wanted lightweights.

Pretty much the theme of what the 6speed guys said, plus they weren't to impressed with his manner of driving

Perhaps it was - and he just had a standard exhaust

Yes, I did think there were a few too many cyclists on the road for a spirited drive...

Thank you Riccardino for referring to the film.

Sounds great though my surround sound.

Funny that there are so many cyclists, yet they do not appear to be upset.

What is the max in 3rd for a V12V?

As always with YouTube, it leads one into another film.

Mr Zuk must have made a series of films.

He IS a powerfully built company director

Motion sickness kicked in and I felt queasy after the third pan shot....

Oh wow swipe me, a company director.

I think Mr. (definitely not Sir) Allen Stanford, and Mr. Bernie Madoff were company directors.

it's a bit of an ongoing joke on various parts of pistonheads... google it then when you read it you'll be able to add the appropriate tone

Looked quite enjoyable - nice wide roads with the cyclists having loads of space. I suspec they're not reacting as he's not doing much wrong?

The wing is silly but looks right on that car

[George29]

Just watched it now. I think he could have done a much better job with the wrap - i.e. not just wrap the whole boot in orange, use stripes instead so it would actually look more Gulf like. The wheels look awful in black. The wing looks ridiculous on a road car, as do the canards. Not a fan.

Also I don't see what the supposed issue is with the cyclists? He gives them plenty of room.

I just thought the approaching noise, might perhaps make some of the cyclists react, with a gesture, or an Aston Martin thumbs up.

But apart from all that..... You love it right...??
