I'm forever watching Youtube car videos and tend to stick a link in whatever thread is relevant, but I thought this might be a better way of doing it because it could act as a library of content for those of us with free time and a love of Aston Martin content smile

To start it off, here is Youtuber 'Cars with Luke' getting up close and personal with a (sadly) stationary Vantage Zagato Shooting Break, spec'd by a gentleman (or woman) with taste, as well as some other Aston's at the mightly impressive St. Gallen showroom. I love this guy's B-roll camera work, it really shows off the sculpture of the Zagato.

Pants - you might be best asking the mods to sticky this post if you want to create a thread for people to post Aston Martin related vids. A bit like the photos thread

Nice review of the GT12 vs GT8

I love the Gulf colours so would be a tough choice!

I’ve always loved this video albeit it’s a couple of years old: Henry Catchpole driving the N430 Vantage on Scotland ‘Old Military Road’

JC has been mentioned elsewhere on here recently, but this piece of work is surely one of the best that the old Top Gear team ever produced.

With so many nice videos it's hard to choose a favorite. This is one of mine, such a beautiful car. Best watched on the big screen with the surround sound turned up.

I think this thread is great.

Especially now I have figured out that I can beam it to my smart tv and watch on a proper sized screen.

For those interested in Aston Martin history, search YouTube for the Newport Pagnell factory. The era of craftsmen with hammers. In those days they were happy for people to use video cameras in the factory. You might even spot a young Steve, who is one of the present Gaydon tour guides.

This is quite a good video, made at the time the 4.7 Vantage was introduced.

I love that feature, our bedroom TV has a youtube app and I can send it stuff, or finish watching what I started on any other device, I had a bh of a cold the other week and sat it bed watching Seen Through Glass's 'Drive the World' while feeling sorry for myself.

Thank you. Cameras are rarely allowed to film the production process, so good to see an up to date Gaydon video.

A couple of cars caught my attention.

This must be a DB11 Volante.
Don't see 6 bar bright finish grilles much any more.





Is this an original Vantage AMR ?







This appears to be a longer version of the same film.

Hard to disagree, helped by the music to get in the mood of what he’s saying .

I've always liked these two, though I can't deny the Clarkson one is an absolute classic.
