[@trainguy_gaming]

@Winding Road Magazine can you do a video of the 2015 Honda Pilot?

[@yasaresari2856]

U

[@chorseundgrd]

What a beautiful car. It's like if the Mustang went to Oxford. I think it's a perfect shape, I love Astons from this era.

[@jorgegeorgegeorge4567]

My exact thoughts lol

[@S25117]

Its a rich mustang

[@jackmagnium6115]

technically it is. instead it has DOHC HEMI heads and 2 valves per cylinder.

[@TheTopher]

The British Mustang!! So cool.

[@szymon6207]

5 speed manual ?

[@ataturgut292]

No, mustang is a american aston martin

[@averycarson747]

Mustang's British cousin that went to college.

[@FunkyGOB]

Mustang wishes it could be this bad. I grew up on American muscle but I'm in love with this Aston. Style, design, performance, sound. What a freaking machine!

[@arkhsm]

@@szymon6207 Yes, with a dogleg first gear !!

[@skiddish985]

Proper gentleman's supercar. Quite possibly one of the best of all time. The mechanical sounds this thing makes as you drive it, everything from the door closing, to the blinker stock, and the suspension as you go over bumps, and of course, not to mention, that symphonic v8. Pure craftsmanship that sadly just doesn't exist anymore. The experience I'm sure you'd get from driving this could never even come close to being replicated by a car of the 21st century.

[@eagleonefr]

Those old Astons are so cool! 🔥🔥🔥 kinda muscle-car like

[@eagleonefr]

Wow the guys at WR liked my comment! So happy! I've been following this channel for quite a time now, I love your vids, thanks a lot for keeping up the great work!

[@arkhsm]

Four downdraught Webbers from the factory for the Vantage !!

[@ignaciomardini5734]

Mustang's elegant cousin from England

[@7477238]

The British take on a muscle car. Just the right amount of V8 sound and the styling is beautiful. Nice old car driving experience.

[@LaurieWilliams-lk8fc]

Superb video. No music, no talk, just the wonderful car, its sounds and something of its feel. Thank you.

[@MrCarGuy]

So great! Doing a POV in classics like this helps preserve them.

[@somethingvisceral2003]

My favorite AM. Fell in love with it while watching Miami Vice as a teenager and Tubbs driving a blue convertible AM V8 Vantage

[@coolzedes]

Omg are you kidding me ? You are the best automobile channel.

[@windingroadmagazine]

Thanks! Tedward is getting ahold of some pretty special machines

[@ezmur]

best looking car in bond-films

[@allanthomas332]

Now that’s a James Bond car

[@timbaltutan]

Oh yeah, I think it was on "No Time To Die"

[@v88dicky32]

Very clever quad cam V8 with nearly 400hp back in the mid 80s. Wonderful cars and my Lotto purchase for sure ☺️👍🏻

[@arkhsm]

The one tested by Autocar topped out at 177 mph !!

[@DtRockstar1]

One of my all time favorite Aston Martins. Very sharp looking.

[@Phenom98]

Out of nowhere I get this channel in my recommended and now it's one of my favorites! Your audio is just famtastic!

[@windingroadmagazine]

Thank you!

[@E34Benzin]

One of the best automotive channels! Period. The POV camera view is the way to go, awesome videos!!

[@dmn23]

One of my all time favorites. What a machine.

[@Roddy_Zeh]

I remember when I saw a black Volante, with beige interior. One of the classiest cars I've ever seen personally. Amazing!

[@user-bf4dp3yt4q]

Very deep engine sound and beautiful classic car

[@redwolfnomad]

Wouhahou, c'est LA voiture de mes rêves depuis que je l'ai vue en 1986 (j'avais 17 ans) et ça restera toujours ma voiture préférée

[@johanlamprecht5577]

Great cruiser sounds magnificent. Love your channel you have the coolest cars

[@arkhsm]

Bloody Fantastic; I've loved this car since I was a '70s teenager !!

[@coolquitepowerful]

Anything built in 80s is beautiful

[@FirstSlateProductionsOfficial]

My favourite Aston! 😍

[@davidcasas3862]

Such a beautiful Sound!!

[@josephf593]

I've had a few optional extras installed! 😎

[@smitbar11]

Proper Aston Martin, the current mass produced ones cannot compare, these were pretty well hand built

[@JohnnyPicasso4]

My god listen to that door close. Such a solid built vehicle!!!

[@AgentMrX7]

I had a few optional extras installed. Salt corrosion

[@mardyel]

Smiling ear to ear listening to that Vantage purr.

[@pacocandano]

One of my favs...the vantage and a 911 are my favorites.

[@mikeel23]

I almost lost my mind at the start of the video when it looked like he was going to start the car and drive it without a walk around 😂. Great video as always

[@windingroadmagazine]

Haha sometimes we like to mix it up!

[@vomErsten]

That was an experience even through the cold tubes comprising the internet. I can feel and smell that car through the audio and video alone and it had me smiling like an idiot.

[@kdubb81]

Very nice! I want one!

[@Santos.Sarmento]

Oscar India, the last of David Brown’s dynasty, the last of real AMs.

[@smitbar11]

So true!

[@co1581]

its like a british ford mustang!

[@JohnJohn-hd3qu]

10:08 Bentley Arnage.

[@scottfulps2065]

Good eye!

[@MiniOne82]

Pure Automotive British Beef. Love it.

[@user-wj3kt1gh5k]

Winding Road Magazine Super 👍👍

[@bryanbeaumont2352]

My favourite Aston

[@JohnJohn-hd3qu]

Sounds nice

[@vinylman8133]

has a nice curve design that remained for a long time even though the 80s had that boxy style

[@Wikkus]

Brit here! Loved your video! I'm of an age where as a kid I'd see a couple of these quite often near where I grew up in semi-rural Middlesex. Then we moved out to leafy Hertfordshire and there was one just a couple of hundred yards down the road from us and the owner would often rev it when my brother and I waved to him :) My all-time favourite Aston profile and quite possibly why I subsequently fell in love with the 1970 Mustang. Yes, that's a Camaro in my profile pic ;) P.S. Out of curiousity, what camera and mount did you use?

[@Trance88]

That's easily a half million dollar car right there. Woooeeee!

[@MP-Fin]

Dog leg transmission? Very nice! They don’t make ’em like they used to, I know it’s a cliche to say but it’s true!!

[@pumagepard9592]

fantastic

[@phil4977]

Very nice

[@carljeong]

This new version of Gran Turismo looks so real

[@bradleyfurer7847]

It even has a cowl hood!

[@LeftyPlaysRighty]

Perfect car for the Mass Tpke!

[@itznsdominator3521]

Sounds and looks as good as a British Supercar should

[@okeyezeilo6187]

This was the supreme muscle car in its day. Outsprinted the Lambo Countach & matched the Ferrari BB512i in it's day. Was hoping you'd actually give it the beans at some point...

[@lewiskemp9732]

A British mustang? Don't get me wrong, I love a Mustang as much as the next guy, but this car is in a completely different league.

[@smitbar11]

This was a hand built car, a few hundred were built, Ford mass produces Mustang's, good cars as they are...

[@oscawhite8990]

No American muscle car sounded that good... Thank you for sharing

[@paolo8532]

class

[@bnox5678]

This car looks modern and oldschool at the same time

[@jackmagnium6115]

thats very nice to hear a DOHC HEMI V8. ford should have done this to their engines

[@STK221]

Aston Martin Mustang to be exact

[@VinnieRozzisi]

Great video. I love the engine. How about an older Jaguar soon?

[@windingroadmagazine]

We'll be on the hunt. Tedward has gotten a hold of some wild cars this week. Expect the Nissan Figaro and Hummer H1 soon

[@VinnieRozzisi]

@@windingroadmagazine I can't wait to see how that 3 speed works out in the Figaro!

[@windingroadmagazine]

Tedward had reported that it is not suited for long highway drives (after a long highway drive)

[@MA-fx6zs]

new bond car

[@BMan100]

*INSERT LIVING DAYLIGHTS JAMES BOND THEME* Man that's a quiet ride. what were you cruising at on the highway and what were the RPM's in 5th?

[@diethersantos6404]

Is There Any Chance To Drive A Lincoln Navigator Or Aviator?

[@Nunechka]

Euro Mustang

[@sync232]

I WANT IT

[@thekhudat6368]

My favorite channel - Winding Road Magazine . I am from AZERBAIJAN , TURKEY ❤🇹🇷❤🇦🇿❤🇺🇲❤

[@Speedfanatic]

An european monster😈

[@user-qb4uz7rr5v]

you're lucky guy)

[@The-Enthusiast47]

That 4 cam v8 tho! Mmm

[@datsie14]

Aston martin made left hand drive in 1985? Nice

[@windingroadmagazine]

These apparently were rare and worth more than their rhd counterparts

You feel like James Bond.

[@thanongmai7145]

Tôi rất thích xe này . Kiểu rất cổ điển . Điểm mù của xe ít .

[@nicolasrabemanantsoa6281]

At 1:32 was it first gear?

[@zakarywin7645]

Anyone here after watching No Time to Die?

[@freeracer8015]

o m g

[@natedogthedjmixer3634]

I think in the 007 The living daylights I think they use that one in the movie

[@aboodmki3]

Is it the same as the one from The Living Daylight?

[@v88dicky32]

Abood Mki Indeed it is

[@scottfulps2065]

I see comments comparing this to a Mustang, which is laughable. No Mustang, not even a GT500 is in the same league as Aston Martin. Not even close.

[@vruiz78]

I love Mustangs but in this case I totally agree with you! In fact Mustang and Aston Martin shouldn’t even be in the same sentence!

[@eminmedic8238]

Thats should be my car

[@automotivetvchannel]

ufo steering wheel 😂

[@Rene-ny9pc]

Ford Escort steering wheel hahahah is total crap

[@PabloPerez-ed9gp]

Mustang 65 steering wheels😂😂😂

[@ISA_LA_CA]

👍

[@muche_97]

Don't skip the videos, make them full POV's

[@vaneegoo7291]

Интересный руль, у форме самолета

[@illletyouknowin20businessd34]

Uh I wonder if they got some inspiration form a “FORD Mustang II king cobra” (red)

[@thanongmai7145]

Ok numberon

[@rider_ringz5381]

Is this a zagato ? With 430 hp or a lower model ?

[@windingroadmagazine]

This is not a zagato

[@goosegog]

The V8 Vantage Zagato was this but with Italian body and interior. See @v8zag on Instagram

[@TheXL2013]

The V8 Vantage is Vinnie Jones in automotive form.

[@darioleal4579]

what's the name of the color ?

[@jayespi37]

England's mustang 😊

[@Matriz_90]

Like Classic Mustang, British Muscle Car

[@vinay19889]

I am looking for a comment that says it looks like a mustang from some angles

[@Chris-cy3uq]

this truly is a british musclecar

[@playinggames7478]

Good old British beef!

[@veikkakanerva9523]

Beautiful car in every way but I think the steering wheel looks a bit odd. Why couldn’t they just put a normal 3 spoke steering wheel in it?

[@user-lk5sv5vz5n]

hahha the front like mustang ???

[@shaddiehadid7547]

18s ago jesus

[@soundbox6674]

Volante de kombi kkk

[@strictlyyoutube6881]

Lovely to look at but appears to have massive body roll, poor and hardened steering, and Modern Audi A3 acceleration. Which I guess for a 35 year old car isn't bad. I personally love the design and carries a lot of nostalgia for me.

[@Grover91]

These are all things people forget when they list after older exotic cars such as these. They look lovely, sound even better, drive nice in a straight line and that's about it. 😂

[@fitnessymas9605]

Looks like camaro-mustang

[@roverwaters3875]

this specific car has some weird body lines

[@aleshartl1611]

That steering wheel is ugly and wierd, but everything else is perfect.
