"This car is a lot more me" - "A smaller package"

[@composimple364]

Very dirty but I love that

[@DanielSadjadian]

This is one the best looking, clean, simple dealerships i've ever seen. I love the simplicity of the design, both inside and out.

[@piedie___3310]

Oh man, the db11 looks absolutely gorgeous! Have seen 5 on the streets, but this one.... WOW

[@ohb1512]

3 Astons, what's not to love

[@bramnijebijvank6789]

That V12 Vantage is absolutely stunning, and despite it's age I think it's the most beautiful car of the three.

[@jake4030]

I agree. There's something so aggressive, yet sophisticated about it's silhouette.

[@PreeyenMistry]

agreed, its the only one that looks proper aston, the other 2 look like spaceships

[@dominicwren243]

The Vanquish looks just as stunning but in a GT Form, in Astons GT form. Especially at the back, the new design style they've got doesn't work on the DB11 but they've nailed it on the Vanquish. And yeah, that V12 Vantage is that perfect aggression in an Aston. If you ever get the chance to go to 6 hours of Silverstone WEC or to wheever the nearest WEC is for you then listen to the V8 Vantage's there, they repeatedly pound your senses...It's violent

[@jonyw8851]

vantage just a normal car , but the db11 is a really special one

[@harrymoore7513]

Definitely

[@lovecarsTV]

You seriously should be presenting Top Gear. Absolute pro

[@seenthroughglass]

Haha you flatter me too much. Was such a fun day! Thanks for the invite

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

Lovecars They're right though xD and bring Mr. JWW along please

[@Hermenaus]

STG + JWW would make such a perfect duo, still remembering with a smile the banter on the Q&As they shared with Seb and Paul. It was priceless.

[@MichaelSeeds]

Lovecars hell no

[@DominikDD46]

Lovecars what the fuck

[@zooboyjoe]

One of your most enjoyable vids for me. Nice behind the scenes look at things, great cars, noise, great locations and a solid edit. Being a Bristol local who's spent time working in the Gorge I'm glad you appreciated it as it's one of my favourite places.

[@SawyersChoice]

They have to be some of the best sounding vehicles ever.. 🚗💨👌🏽

[@anonymousmind]

The V12 Vantage looks perfect!

[@timthomas3000]

As always Sam, a class act. Your intros have the feel good factor. Great video.

[@thewhitewood]

Nice shots guys 👌🏻 production value on point!

[@carlmaissan4340]

Great production together with your chill "real" delivery. STG FTW. Keep it up Sam!

[@pvendeloo7512]

back to the proper videos again, loving it

[@patrickmcguckian9929]

I really wasn't sure of the DB11 when it launched, but now I've seen a few around in london, I'm starting to think it looks really good

[@jasonday2007]

Great to see you in my local area. I live minutes away from Cheddar Gorge and grew up in Weston-super-Mare. Absolutely love the manual v12, a rare delight!

[@markwood7045]

The level of this chap's content is a cut above all others. Kudos.

[@VerangaF430]

awesome Sam you're killing it mate!

[@mottss13579]

This new 12 o'clock upload time is great, livens up my lunch hour

[@richarddenk9263]

Nice job Sam and Joel awesome video! Love some of the drone shots you all got in the canyons. Wish we had driving roads near me in the States like that. Definitely hope to see a more in depth review of the Manual V12 Vantage. Keep up the good work and happy Friday!

[@itsjoel]

Thank you Richard!!

[@xmichielx100]

Awsome video Sam, keep it up!

[@tyler9703]

I'm loving those new transitions Sam!

[@Teamshmo]

The colour on that Vantage looks amazing

[@anthony_stevens]

I absolutely love Aston Martins, deffo my favourite car brand, out of the 3 I'd have the Vanquish S, although that manual Vantage is temping too. Great video Sam!

[@TheNewtonBomb]

Awesome video Sam. Gutted I wasn't able to introduce myself and come along with you guys (I work for Dick Lovett Marketing). Hopefully catch-up with you soon if you're ever down our way again! ✌🏼

[@kimi88cz]

ElliotNewton Dick Lovett always cracks me up🤣🤣

[@d0718]

Calling a company Dick Loveit is the best marketing thing I've ever seen! Never fails to crack me up & definitely draws attention !

[@andyfairchild2383]

Great video Sam! Some lovely shots of my home town too. Hope you enjoyed Bristol.

[@karolwawrzkiewicz1254]

Midday upload is a gooood thing 😎

[@denisspratt926]

I love Astons. Can´t wait for the new Vantage to be showed. Hope it looks like the DB10.

[@seenthroughglass]

I think the new Vantage will be amazing

[@denisspratt926]

Yes i think so. And i hope so. Might just be my next car.

[@jake4030]

I really hope so, I drive a V8 Vantage and although the gearbox is a pain in the ass to deal with at low speeds, the power delivery of the NA V8 makes up for it. Hoping the turbos don't completely soil it.

[@denisspratt926]

Jake. I am a bit worried about the same thing. But the AMG engine they are gonna use is pretty good in the Mercs i`ve tried with it. And it´s also one of the few turbo engines that sounds good. But we´ll see when it comes.

[@jake4030]

If you're talking about the current engine that's used across all new AMG's, as have I. I'm running a GLE63S alongside the Vantage, but I would be very surprised if that's what substituted the current engine, the power band seems far too short. I pull through first gear way too quickly I find the current AMG engine, where as in the Aston it let me revs all the way up to about 7.5-8K RPM, I have much more room to play around with in the Aston. It would be a shame if thats what replaced it IMO.

[@hjboonk]

Amazing editing😱👍🏼👍🏼

[@seenthroughglass]

Thank you! Had fun putting this video together

[@user-yr9hp5sv9t]

Great job Sam,one of your best!

[@tonyknox4415]

Great stuff Sam, you said the vanquish S sounded like it had an aftermarket exhaust that's because it's got a completely new revised exhaust system if you haven't already been told, love the new time, keep up the good work 👍

[@rich8089]

Love the new editing!

[@JeS-ii6yp]

Sam, this was a simply great video.

[@anotherone10]

What a stunning colour on that V12 Vantage S 😍

[@ant_ramos]

Absolutely incredible video!

[@hannimenl7123]

The opening cut was great, plz keep up!

[@rasmust4921]

That yellow spider was popping!

[@mikemittel2691]

Sam, Great content! I might be a little bias as I own a Vantage v8, but they are amazing cars! The videography was wonderful as always. Beautiful canyon area. Next time I'm in England I'll try to slip down there for a look. Cheers!

[@CarObsession]

Very cool video Sam!

[@Gimmeanx10]

Love your videos Sam!

[@stuad70]

I love stg, I love Aston and I love Somerset and Avon. What a dream day. Thanks for sharing it.

[@paulcaymanblack6424]

Great video Sam , I love AM,s especially the Vantage V12 manuals.

[@joemourad]

hahahahahaha that moment before you went onto the peer was hilarious and keep up the great vids!!

[@JuniorMotorcycles]

It was awesome meeting you in cheddar bud!! And its mad thinking was was at Weston the day after you as well!! Drive safe bud

[@alfie1217]

omg, i use to go to this pier when i was i kid. I live in straya now, wow

[@referencechannel996]

I choose the Vanquish S without a doubt! BRUTAL CAR!

[@muhammadmusataulani7412]

STG love your background music so cool 👏👏👍

[@jamie123b]

so cool to see you in ma hometown Bristol!! hope you enjoyed it here

[@ErazEdits]

Great vid, lovely cars! :D

[@MrMillenium67]

Loved it because they're all Aston's. Way more of the same please!

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Awesome to see you in my neck of the woods! Bristol, the heart of the West Country. And Cheddar Gorge is about 15minutes from my house. Beautiful views

[@DanielSadjadian]

I wish the UK had more places like Cheddar Gorge to drive round. It looks amazing!

[@anthony_stevens]

Honestly the Vanquish S is my dreamcar, I want one so bad...

[@chrisnorris1383]

Same😅

[@SCDC-Channel]

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!

[@topgun8683]

Good job Sam!

[@baybea73]

Big up bristol, my home town

[@seenthroughglass]

Seemed like a very nice place

[@97JGK]

Andy Morris cider heads until we die

[@cllris]

My house is in the thumbnail in the background. Got so excited when I saw it. Wicked video Sam!

[@paulkramer2893]

9:03 That moment that Sam saw a Ferrari and went mental!!!

[@confidentship7335]

I wouldn't mind having a Vantage S because of the manual transmission, but my heart really lies with the sound and appearance of the DB11 and Vanquish S, even though all three essentially look and sound as though they're the same car.

[@ryanritchings2834]

Unreal, I drove a Aston Martin db9 carbon black edition through that same tunnel 😝 the v12 sound is amazing

[@97JGK]

Aw man you were like right next to my work and I was in cheddar the other day! Wish I had seen you mate glad to have you in the West Country 🔴⚪🔴⚪🍻🍻🍻

[@kristofcsanyi8769]

How do you ALWAYS come up with new and new ideas?

[@prazzy4712]

one of my fave car videos out there, I think I've watched it 10 ten times, win goes to the vantage

[@jakedexter184]

Ah Cheddar Gorge! Man have there been some good meets there! Such a good road to put a car through its paces.

[@stramtoni6765]

What a beautiful trio and what a tragic missed opportunity to do an intelligent comparison. No over excited teenager who would never be a buyer of any of these cars should have been used to comment. Think how more informative and interesting to watch would this have been if a middle aged potential buyer would have driven all three and compared styling, interiors, street driving experience, aggressive twisties driving, etc. We would have all have been much better informed and satisfied.

[@ryanm.751]

That beginning string of transitions though!

[@matthewcibor4601]

I got a Citroen ad before this video. You've got some balls Citroen, I'll give you that

[@joeferreri818]

V12 VANTAGE FTW

[@seenthroughglass]

Such a beast

[@IULENZA]

An Amazing Panda man that green looks absolutely fantastic and it's manual too!

[@markhermens1174]

I prefer the Vanquish S

[@1wibble230]

+Mark Hermens I prefer Vanquish too, Vantage is hideous at the front.

[@randomcarguy1656]

Last time I was this early, Sam was bald. Oh wait!

[@mrnobody6322]

The last time I was this early, Random Car Guy was a fool Oh wait!

[@randomcarguy1656]

+Mr Nobody simply because I have proven you wrong several times, I am not a fool.

[@tyler9703]

I've scene all of them except the vanquish, which just happens to be my favorite

[@MultiMiladmilad]

lovin the aston content

[@julienvbz9361]

Great idea , differents cars but the same flag , keep your'r motivation it's a pleasure to see her everyday !

[@alex91062]

Beautiful colour on the Vantage

[@theocrandon1295]

I seen you!! I was the one that waved at you in the green Aston Martin. You were coming up the main road by the school Kings of Wessex

[@barriekeegan3492]

yep another great show

[@MrWhoeps]

Cool flip moment at the beginning.

[@johnblacksmith9505]

I Love Cars I Love This Video I Love The Vanquish S but most of all..... I Luv Sam! Thanks for all your hard work and effort Sam. Always putting a smile on my face when watching your vids :-)

[@kikochinsi4666]

the vanquish s is one of the most beautiful front engine cars in the world

[@GG-eg7mj]

very nice video sam . peace mate ... ✌👍

[@richjohn9356]

Please please drive the Vanquish S again aggressively, much more than a new incredible exhaust , the extra power, revised handling ,its the best Aston ever made ,you will agree)

[@lucaederfotograf]

Beautiful cars!

[@ethansah7693]

The DB11 is my all time favorite car. I feel like the Vantage look (though absolutely beautiful) got a bit exhausted after the DB9, the Vantage, The DBS, and the Rapide. I think Aston did a great job with the exterior design of the Vanquish and the DB11. They still retain the Aston look, but are refreshingly more modern in design. One thing about the Vantage I like is the manual transmission. It's hard to find cars like that anymore.

[@georgewoodman8843]

Sam what day was this?!! I live in Weston-super-Mare and everywhere in this video are places I know like the back of my hand!

[@piedie___3310]

Has your dad already made the decision for his new car? I'd love to see him driving a bentayga. Such beautiful cars! 😀

[@allensaunders449]

great trio of cars that green with a manual unique

[@NoggintheNog37]

The DB11 is a very different car, I think it would make an excellent summer daily, lacks the 4wd for winter though.

[@OnlyAgainst]

so good! I'm so jealous.

[@kevinfein1157]

But did you try the DB11 in Sport and Sport+? Would like to see you do a full review of the DB11. Paul's were fantastic - your turn.

[@SwidrygajlowArek]

pretty fly kicks mate

[@thomasmurphy3603]

This was MEGA

[@SeemsLegal]

Vanquish S for me anyday. It's a pure stallion

[@mrwick7961]

goin to cheddar on sunday again, i love it there

[@lukemunday2259]

big up weston! my home town!!

[@Therealblubblego]

Love the interiour of the Vanquish S

[@tvanb]

That green is pretty damn sick on the V12 Vantage...I don't think the DB11 or Vanquish S could pull it off, but damn...

[@sofakingtouge2399]

im really not an exotic car guy but i would like to own the v12 vantage s. might get one in a couple years. not in a huge hurry to own one. want to add an r32 gtr and a classic muscle truck to the collection first.

[@tincars740]

Recently I got to drive a 595 competizione and now I think I kinda know what your daily driving is like :D It's a pretty cool machine. Little fun car. Only let down I made out in the short time was the feeling of the gearbox. gear leaver felt quite whobbly when I changed gears and not very chrisp compared to let's say a Cayman GT4... Is it the same with the 695?

[@ch33kocfc]

8:56 the saying "there's always one" comes to mind

[@ZenGamer97]

stg and jww on another level

[@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel]

You stalled a V12 ? A V6 i could see , but does the V12 not have any low rpm torque ? Is it all upper rpm HP like a 4 banger ?

[@SgtHail]

Sam mate, LOVED this video, however the music over the cars accelerating through cheddar gorge was unnecessary. Would have been nice to hear more of that V12 soundtrack I think. Just my two pence worth mate.

[@EuropeansCars]

Sam will you take a look on the first gen V8 Vantage?
