The DBS is such a good looking car.

[@marinic818]

i think the new one is better looking then the old one. but the old one is so much more fun to drive because of that manual transsmision and that sweet NA V12, even tho its a lot slower then the new DBS

[@bennpotter]

As a huge James Bond & Mr JWW fan, this video is complete. This is my dream car from Casino Royale, also noticed from previous videos you’re a Metallica man. You Mr JWW, are a winner.

[@MrJWW]

Had Reload on this trip actually! 🤘🏼

[@bennpotter]

Amazing 🤘🏻 Couldn’t think of a better trip.

When Aston Martin was beautiful looking and timeless.

@@MrJWW Ah, the most underrated 'tallica album. Unforgiven II ftw!

[@FIREBLADEONE]

When you look back over this trip years from now I think you've produced one of those magical things for yourself, a special memory for life!

[@wmp4642]

That Highlands quiet is the most beatuiful sound in the world, sorry DBS

[@user-re9gj2zd5e]

Quiet?

[@TannersTravels]

I love the idea of the cars being in scenic areas. Nothing like a beautiful car with a beautiful backdrop

[@shoaibalich]

I subbed when the channel had less than 10K subs. From the first video, I knew that this guy was a true, proper car guy. That's why I trusted him to keep me indulged in sublime right-hand drive bliss. And he never fails to deliver. This has got to be one of the top 5 car videos of the year for me. Thank you Mr. JWW. Many more happy miles!

[@MrJWW]

Great to hear you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@paramshah6376]

DBS/ Vanquish/177 are one of the most gorgeous cars ever made.😘😘. Love your content.

[@dstarley]

Went there and took a picture with my Renault Clio last year ! Now I just bought an i30N...maybe it's time to revisit those incredible roads!

[@markfhales]

As a 2010 DBS (Quantum Silver and paddle shift because I live in Southern California) owner and a huge James Bond fan. This was your best video. I am so jealous. Thank you for making my day.

[@jamesfindlay7150]

The road is the road to Glen Etive

[@MrJWW]

Indeed 👍🏻

[@wboeren1]

even looking around with google maps is great

[@jamesfindlay7150]

[@williamguy8563]

@@jamesfindlay7150 Also spent plenty of time there. recommend you go at times when tourists are sparse otherwise a nice car will be limited

[@faisalleeds]

This is why James is in the top 5 car content creators on KZbin. Production and effort to get the best shots are insane.

[@glenobermaier8810]

James, I was up there in August in my 2012 DBS with Epic Rally and we did the same shot at Glencoe! You just HAVE to when you are in an Aston! As for the DBS on those roads....oh, what a joy!.

[@barneymccreery8387]

I know you’re already planning on doing it but you really need to re-chrome the grille - the only thing to make it look better

[@JohnHenryDale]

Gotta admit I'm ridiculously jealous right now. What a brilliant and beautiful landscape to drive a (nearly) Bond-spec DBS through. That scene in Skyfall was one of my favorite in the entire Bond series, if not all movies ever.

[@chuckoehmke]

I don’t get why Mr. JWW doesn’t get more engagement. He always has the best cars and makes really some of the best destination driving videos around.

[@glen3862alva]

Magnificent video James. I own a DBS manual also, and I must say I agree with all of your comments. These cars steal your heart!

[@marcelstanford430]

Your enthusiasm for the car really shines through. Good for you in achieving your dream car. On a side note, I was always taught not to rest my hand on the shifter of a manual to let it vibrate and eliminate the chance of premature wear of the gearbox.

[@kenjiklitsch6580]

This is by far my absolute favorite Aston

[@waynestephens846]

So much nicer looking than the modern day Astons

[@richardcarter1000]

Great car, great road. I was up there in my F355 a few years ago, screaming between those mountains. One of the great drives.

[@RRRVanquish1998]

DBS Superleggera 007 Edition from No Time To Die is the one for me

[@khusyairi]

James, that shot, it just gave me goosebumps, in a very good way i assure u. Thats a beautiful shot, a near perfect recreation of an iconic Bond moment. The scenery, the car, it just works. I so much envy that ure able to do this. I wish i can do the same someday.

[@thiagets]

I did this roadtrip on a convertible BMW 4 Series. From Edinburgh to Isle of Skye. Amazing indeed.

[@CrashedCarChannel]

It looks like parts of Forza Horizon 4!

Crazy scenery up there 👍🏻

It is !

Funny thing that s actually the top of the horizon 4 map and belive it or not isn't far from amble side I was there the other week

[@byrong1561]

Stunning scenery. Never realised anywhere in the UK could look quite so beautiful.

[@Dck1818]

Hey James, long time viewer and subscriber. Amazing video as always and the acquisition of this DBS was a game changer. My favorite along with the GT3 and TDF.... keep crushing the game and growing, much love from New York!

[@MrJWW]

Great to hear you enjoyed it - thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@todaysvisionary6383]

One day I will buy an Aston and do the same route that you did. Great video!

[@brendanwagner8933]

As I am a Canadian currently in Glasgow. I envy this journey and hope one day I can take European delivery of a car and come back to these parts and do a similar tour of the highlands. Thank you Mr.JWW very inspirational!

[@alanwayte432]

If you buy auto visit Bamford Rose let them fit a dual clutch plate and light weight fly wheel, the car is absolutely transformed...astonishing

[@mso008]

Such a beautiful and elegant car. One of my favourites.

[@tomgraz7548]

JW, I just bought a 2009 model. Absolutely love it. I used to own a DB9 but this DBS is a totally different experience. The manual gearbox is glorious and the refined polished interior is definitely a wonderful place to be. It is truly a special car. Thanks for your videos. Keep them up!

[@jyotishmanchakraborty887]

This really highlights so much of what constitutes of my dream in life. Thank you, James. The content you create really puts colours into a lot of imaginations.

[@andyhart5669]

I visited that road a few times before Skyfall and hardly ever saw anyone or any vehicle. I went back in spring 2022 and people were queuing up to get a photograph in that spot!

[@ASW50]

Got to drive that same road about a year ago. As an American driver and a 007 fan it was glorious. Never found the Skyfall bridge but now I know where it is. Thanks

[@guymachiels6583]

James thanks for taking all the effort to recreate the shot from Skyfall! You found the place! Enjoyed this "old style JWW video" very much. keep the driving videos coming! And keep on changing gears (for no reason) !

[@gianniferrari1122]

The AM DBS goes down in the books as one of the most beautiful cars ever made... It screams elegance, and makes you only want to wear a suit.

[@AlphaLlama]

Timeless design, V12, manual and amazing sound 😍

[@jpm74]

I have a 2007 V8 Vantage - amazing car. An ECU flash and lightweight flywheel turns her into a real hooner, You are right about the pedal placement and size for these AM cars of this vintage. But I was able to buy a wider bit aluminum throttle pedal for less than $50 and problem solved! It looks OEM.

[@kristianolsenlarsen]

That intro though! I suddenly found myself pausing the video, sitting here just staring down my iPhone, thinking one quote: You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

[@thyrunorragefist5234]

What a beautiful machine! This would be the Aston Martin of my choice, if I ever would have the chance to come somewhere close to. Yes the new ones look modern and hot, but they just don't have the beauty and elegance and understatement of this generation of Astons. Congratulations and I wish you all the fun with it. To get into the GT range of cars, I got myself a 2017 Mustang, and I love how the roof silhouette and the C pillar are almost identical with the Aston 😊 Greetings from Bavaria!

[@petrolstainedgloves3403]

The DBS is a stunning and timeless car. What an absolute masterpiece with that V12 and manual gearbox. They don’t make them like that anymore!

[@Cirby-jv6lp]

that moment where James goes to say oh Shi.. and the transition was perfect. kudos to the editors

[@BrendanEvan]

This is a crazy gorgeous place. Bit of a bucket list of mine to take a nice British car to remote areas of the UK and Europe to just drive.

[@SCDC-Channel]

Just EPIC...My favourite Bond and youtuber...Well done James

[@jakemay637]

Yes, I love changing gears for pure personal indulgence! Bond of the books did "racing changes." Great drive -- motorcar and the Gran Turismo. 🍸

[@vincentleroy1382]

Amazing to watch this beautiful DBS...

[@Jaybop20]

I could just watch that video over and over again. God I miss that road.

[@mikeplantagenet2983]

Love the manual DBS as a true driver's car, plus the Skyfall scene. Hang onto it because its value will increase significantly as this type of car will sadly be extinct soon.

[@spencerayres2669]

Still can't get over the scenery there, it was amazing in July. Crashed my drone while having it follow my car along it though 😂👍🏻

[@miguelmc2289]

this has to be one of the most beautiful cars in existence. I mean it's an authentic piece of art of modern design

[@TheRealBigDan]

Aston design peaked with this dbs and I doubt they'll ever do anything as good looking in the future. Great car, great video!

[@j99bgr]

I drove this road on the way home from the NC500 in my Edition 40 and it was so amazing. The sights were just unreal. In an Aston, that's the dream.

[@landhopper4296]

I’m lucky enough to have the auto version of this car, and you’ve described it perfectly (except the auto IS good, especially in Sport). It is all about how it makes you feel. People do love it, and will talk to you about it, which is very kind of them, but this video explains better than I ever can exactly what it is like. It’s wonderful at any speed including parked! It looks good, sounds good, smells great inside and is so tactile to use. The steering wheel is perfect to touch, and the front end grip on warm tyres is excellent. But the brakes are unbelievable - stops on a sixpence. As a car it’s a real keeper, and you can drive it all day. Great videos on this car - keep it up!

[@PIFDUDE]

I'm falling in love with your Aston DBS 😩. Just wonderful.

[@jordanrivers-scott6846]

“James Bond nostalgia”....I’m on the same hymn sheet 🤵🏻

[@wyattjohnson4087]

Love it because it's an experience sure you can have the quickest or fastest car but your missing ambiance of that perfect driving moment when your all about power and numbers so love this

[@iltemprd1]

Fantastic video James. You have to be proud of this one. Well done Sir. Thank you.

[@marksieve7734]

The DBS is certainly an awesome Aston, and with the manual is definitely fitting for 007. You captured the shot from Skyfall perfectly. Well done.

[@Michiel003]

Someone recently asked me what my dream life would look like. And I couldn't answer it but seeing this I think I found a piece of it. 🙂

[@foggy123ukb3]

I have the Vantage version. Same interior, engine m, gearbox etc. it’s a unique and special vehicle. A keeper

[@nigelfox6683]

Theres just something right about an Aston in the Great British countryside... stunning car, stunning sounds, stunning scenery. Smashed it James.

[@karvanznlife9227]

James we frequently travel these roads on holiday being based just outside glasgow but when its possible try the road and scenery of arran with goatfell as ur backdrop and yes no phone signal once the ferry turns into Brodick bay, great vid great car mate

[@MRVSKIN]

The DBS and the Vanquish S thank you very much what a road trip and what a day you must have had. Great great video

[@sagetheowlfatfeathery2083]

Took my new Vantage at the weekend. Definitely worth the 1,400 mile round-trip, taking in the Old Military Road through the Cairngorms.

[@Gary_S]

The DBS has been in my dream garage for years... Never driven one so couldn't' know for sure but only heard good things about the manual. Great shot that belongs on a wall of yours somewhere. Keep up the good work brother!

[@abbiemartin2901]

I pick mine up on Saturday and have been glued to this vlog, its something I'm going to do without a shadow of a doubt, loved that!

[@superboy305]

DBS will always have a spot in my future garage, damn wanna drive there in the future

[@jonathansquires3114]

Undoubtedly (in my opinion) the best looking, most desirable Aston EVER!!! It is awesome.....and what a route to drive it on as well.....

[@carlos64030]

Such a gorgeous, GORGEOUS car!!! In my opinion this generation of the DBS V12 is the best looking modern day Aston Martin. The newer Superleggera doesn't look as elegant as the older model, IMO. I hope to have a silver '08 - '09 model in the next year or two.

[@alliepallie2146]

This whole video just puts a huge smile on my face. Thank you sir!

[@frenchdna3727]

Dream car, dream scenery, impeccable editing, won't be easy to top this video off!

[@MiniOne82]

A82, one of the most breath taking roads and one of my fave for driving and i'm really missing it with the way the country is right now.

[@michaelbrown5601]

The best looking car ever. And it’s a manual V12. So it’s also the best car overall

[@deanj846]

My home is similar,90% of the time it's silent but a neighbour has a Maserati mc stradale and a 993 turbo,both of which sound superb and shut the fookin' wildlife up for a few seconds 🤣

[@stevog4422]

Manuals were available for every model year of the DBS, but were seldom ordered in that configuration once the auto came out after the initial batch of cars was built. So if you want a manual, 08/09 is the proper year to look.

[@kirk911constantine]

Loved that car in Casino Royale. Loved that they let the V12 sing. Skyfall is definitely a favorite. But to go there...in a DBS...and find that exact spot? Truly epic. Well done. Great video.

[@refinegraphics9343]

One of the best model ever design by Aston Martin.... Do appreciate your video describing this car

[@aston-martin-internationalist]

PS4S on my Vantage made a huge difference. Wonderful tyres, it'll transform the car if you're still running the stock Bridgestones.

[@MrJWW]

I really need a set of PS4S!

[@FredB458]

What a piece of art! Perfect car for a iconic road. Big James Bond fan.

[@mblondon1000]

Such a quality production, one of the best car guys on the tube for sure. Keep em coming 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@sandyvalentin3072]

James that car is a true beauty I think it’s one of your better car purchases in awhile. I’m out of my lease next year and I’m not sure if I want a new car I was actually considering buying a last model year of the Jaguar XKR now that car is beautiful 😉

[@williamrogercummings9607]

Thank you, very much, James. I appreciated this very picturesque drive in a car that I may want to acquire. The Aston DBS is amazing in the spec that you have purchased.

As an Aston V12 manual owner, you've inspired me to travel up north next spring.... wow. Keep up the good work James!

[@m.allmark]

My Grandad/Great Grandad worked on a Peat Bog on the border of Wales and know so much about it lol. They went from burning/cutting it to preserving it in their careers. Books have been made featuring them. Something I never really understood but seems so important.

[@scottishsupra6027]

Drove this road today for work travelling to Fort Augustus gutted I missed you and that DBS one of my all time favourite cars

[@hrys5483]

Great video James. I’m lucky enough to have a rare midnight blue DBS. It’s auto as I couldn’t find a manual one in blue (found out from AM only 8 RHD ever made in blue and now realise why it took me 10 years to find one!). I actually love the auto as it’s so easy to cruise in but it’s also brilliant and great fun on the paddles if you want to be a bit of a hooligan. Much prefer to a Ferrari 599 of same era. I switched my DBS wheels for the optional lightweight wheels offered at the time and the car drives so much better. Much improved feel through the steering and it’s taken the car to another level. Agree on the tyres, new correct P Zero fitted last year when I bought the car and 5,000 miles on I’d be keen to know what to fit next. It’s hairy in the wet , I’ve had the tail hanging out a few times. I love mine and don’t ever see myself selling. For my manual kicks I have a F355 so a great choice of a screaming V8 Fezza or V12 AM brut depending on the mood! You’re welcome to try my auto DBS if you want to compare.... Great to see you enjoying your lovely car, I now need to sort my Nav and car play out too!

[@juansequeirabaquero1780]

I can’t imagine how cool that was for you. Next week Im driving to Colorado from Texas & Im taking a “minor” detour to drive up Pikes Peak. Granted I’m nowhere near cool to be driving in an Aston, but still. Driving in cool iconic spots is amazing!

[@thebigfalla1155]

Hi James, I live in Stirling and drive these roads most weekends for pleasure and to be honest take them granted. I’d like to thank you for letting me see again just how special where we live is and appreciate it from a different perspective. Hope to see you and one of your amazing cars when we’re out and about. Looking forward to more videos 😊👍🏻
