As I sit here baking in the sun , bored half to death and counting the minutes until my V12VS is finally built I was wondering something .

Could you please post links to interesting , seldom seen or your just plain favourite Aston videos (and articles ) please ? Would be good to get them all together in one thread anyway .

I'll start with this , the motor trend V12VS manual review :

That is indeed one of Evo's finest, but I think Clarksons, Top Gear Season Finale review of the V12 Vantage has to be the best ever AM video review.

"old top gear aston martin"

Is a great youtube search, with THAT Vantage test from 1993, DB7, DB7 Vantage, etc. I used to have the original Virage road test, but sadly taped over it many years ago...

For more nostalga, check our the clarksons videos: "fast and furious" is great if you like denim, 90s cars, denim, bad electric guitar background music, denim and 90s supercars. There are others...

Then modern top gear: May on the Lagonda and V8 Vantage, Clarkson DB9 race, DBR9 power lap, Vanquish (part 1 and 2, on the isle of wight)...

The denim one also did a 1 hour special on aston martin which was on youtube but I cannot find it at the moment.

Aston themselves have a good youtube channel. This is my current favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZeIB1hCk8k

This years le mans is worth watching again (all 24 hours of it...)

How they used to build them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEFoYfa_Z5w

"Le mans 1989" shows some footage of the AMR1 at le mans...
"Le Mans 1959" shows the race we won!!

One final one, when its cold and dark and you need some comfort: speakers up..

There's an institute of mechanical engineering presentation on v12 development, including some explanation for one-dimensional cfd on inlet manifolds.

Also, there's a good article about 7.3 1-77 development, including the four throttle butterflies used. Have a Google, if you cannot find them (and you're interested), I'll dig out the links and/or (if you PM me) send you the documents.

Stay safe.

Love that sound - like an F1 car of old.

Do Fabspeed still have offerings in the U.K?

Oops.

Their answer to the first question is wrong.

Perhaps it was on purpose, to make us pay attention.

Andy Palmer has a video showing the final part of Le Mans on his Twitter webpage.

The normal TV logo and captions have been removed.
Can anyone please find a YouTube link of that particular film?

I enjoyed the full page page ads in the Saturday and Sunday Times (and probably other newspapers) this weekend celebrating the GTPRO win.
