That DBS is timeless, what a beauty!

[@paulwoodhead5001]

I can't think of a more fitting vehicle than an Aston Martin for this part of the world. Classy, refined and downright gorgeous. This car combined with the breathtaking scenery of the Highlands truly is something special.

[@antonioguerradiaz8077]

I still don't understand how this channel hasn't 1-2 million subscribers... Top quality content 🙌🏽

[@sbs-0055]

I was wondering the same.

[@svenlangeveld92]

Me too

[@MarcSob22]

Because people like child staff now days!! This channel should be way bigger !

[@jakehardiman2835]

Yeah its the slowest growing channel ive ever followed. Not fair really. But im 5k over drawn and drive an Insignia......so.........lool

[@alexcentellasheras1668]

Is not quantity is quality mate! We are good subscribers but not a lot of them

[@faizaanahmed1540]

I'd take the f12 tdf just to hear that exhaust sound everytime I roll down the windows

You don’t need to roll down the windows to hear the sound 😉

The DBS is may favorite AM, but nothing like a Ferrari V12!! The TDF is absolutely perfect!! Great content mate!

[@antoniocinque]

@Valkyrie 007 lmao what, at least the Ferrari is real and being delivered to customers

[@antoniocinque]

@Valkyrie 007 yeah and one is 500k and the other is 3 millions what a dumb comparison lmao

[@antoniocinque]

@Valkyrie 007 hypercars are dumb, there’s no hypercar, just high tech super car that are in different price brackets, in the 70s/80s/90s there were already 1000hp cars, but they were not called hypercars, it’s a dumb name and comparing cars with such a big price difference is the dumbest shit i’ve ever heard

[@antoniocinque]

@Valkyrie 007 i’m sorry but the hypercar definition doesn’t make sense, the miura is a hypercar too then since it was so advanced at the time

[@mikemoggerson6651]

@Valkyrie 007 Lol. Ferrari could easily make a car that could compete/destroy the Aston Martin Valkyrie/AMG project 1. Ferrari is a company, and they will do what is financially and/or socially attractive to them at the moment. When Ferrari made the Laferrari along with the Mclaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spider, where was the Mercedes hypercar? Where was Aston? The One-77 engine made less horsepower than the Laferrari from a bigger V12 lol. And btw, the Valkyrie is a COSWORTH engine. Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motor sports, and unsurprisingly, Ferrari has the most titles in history due to the brilliance of their engineers, drivers and Enzo Ferrari (even though they suck now due to current rules favouring Mercedes). Also, you comparing the Valkyrie to the SF90 is laughable. The SF90 is a luxury car with a real interior. The Valkyrie is a literal race car. And the production version is nowhere near being done....

[@SC-qv7nv]

I'm getting a bit older now and like the comfort. Would go for the DBS. Beautiful looking car as well, definitely a classic in waiting.

[@mohakmankad689]

DBS! The manual shift and especially that blip on the overrun!

[@frasercurrie1675]

DBS and DB9 are the ultimate Grand Tourers. Loved the video. The Highlands are my backyard and my DB9 will love it when I send her home.

[@maazahmed6095]

That Dbs is seductive....I want it soooooo bad

[@supercarspotters8504]

I really did enjoy this!

[@clarkderks-wyatt2471]

Did you? Cool story man!

[@britforlife32]

The TDF is unbelievable, but the DBS is my dream car. DBS every single time.

[@andrewrobson7662]

James I have driven those roads to Fort Bill many times and they are epic. I plan to drive up in my DB9 with my mate in his Virage when its permitted. To me the DBS sounds better but TDF is bloody wicked. Great video sir well played

[@bottlab950]

The music at the beginning tho... You're better than a 2000s car show

[@stuartrichardson6309]

Couldn’t have driven them in a better place. Absolutely love the road to Fort William.

[@garys7828]

Great photography... Nice time of year to be there too. Bit slippy on the roads, but less crowds as well... Enjoying the videos 🤓

[@zackontakis7250]

Take a trip to Iceland in the Spring/Summer, the roads and scenery are amazing

[@MrJWW]

Would love to!

[@williamrogercummings9607]

I appreciate your work, very much, James. Good content, well delivered. Your business acumen is also to be lauded. love the "bunker"

[@peterhunt7680]

Has to be the TDF. The sculpture is perfect. Plus the drama and noise is just has that X factor for me more than the Aston.

[@fk4410]

I take the vanquish s for the sound. Lets compare 2016 to 2016 cars

[@projectr2451]

@@fk4410 Still the 2015 F12tdf for me. Sounds amazing

Yep, the views up there are just stunning mate. Level 4 lockdown kicking in from Friday from Stirling down to Glasgow, Ayrshire, and Lanarkshire.

[@MrJWW]

Highlands still ok thankfully 🙏🏻

[@Logies_right_hand]

@@MrJWW if you get the chance, you should take the Glenshee road to Braemar then head towards the Lecht ski center. Amazing driving route.

[@sk8ingkickers]

Yeah, much welcomed content as we head into lockdown on Friday. Missing the hills. Next time you pass Tyndrum - try the Real Food Cafe - order from the car - fish n chips behind the wheel 😱

[@petermcelvogue3228]

You should go to the Isle of Skye and head for Applecross Pass on the peninsula of Wester Ross. Hopefully the weather holds up for ye bud.

[@AOKeefe82]

DBS for me, I'd never kick either out of bed for farting. Just suits me more. Manual, more laid back.

[@cephasmakuzva]

This content is unbelievable the scenery the shots the editing really is amazing. For this trip as much as I love a Ferrari I'd be in the DBS more usable if you can call 550 brake usable on a road like this mated to that manual box it's heaven. What a car.

[@colbee4894]

Wonderful to see these V12 GT cars enjoyed in such an amazing part of the world. Different eras of course, but who cares when they both make you smile. Don't forget to remove fuse 22 on the DBS if not already, improves that exhaust sound greatly. Consider putting that DBS grill back to stock Silver too. Have fun!

[@דניאלנחמן-ה3ג]

Brilliant filming mate You are the most underestimated KZbinr in my opinion You should’ve already hitting your first million subscribers 👊

[@Real_MisterSir]

I'd have to go with the DBS. It is so well suited for street use, and it's reassuring in a way where you feel like its power and performance is adequate. It suits the car to have 510bhp, and a planted handling experience. It invites you to go cross country on trips, you can take it to do your daily commutes if you like. You can park it in the street and instead of grabbing attention from everyone, it just leaves a lasting impression just for those who notice it. It owns the road in a way very few cars do. Now what I would love to see, would be the engine and transmission from the TDF, coupled with a single seater layout like a hyper version of the BAC Mono. I think that would be a match made in heaven, if simply just for the sheer insanity and respect such a vehicle would invoke.

[@redlac7003]

Fantastic to see you giving both these cars a good run. So many sit in garages not being used. Came through this road in Sept, Green Welly was a bit busy. My 2017 4.5L Twin Turbo V8 Land Cruiser doesn't match your two dream cars 😎🤩but what roads and views, amazing.

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

Great content, both gorgeous cars.... Of the two it would have to be the Aston, the deeper burble is far more befitting than the manic shriek of the Ferrari. I also think the Astons of that era are still some of the most beautifully styled cars ever made the DB9, DBS, V8/V12 Vantage all future classics. The scenery though is spectacular and well worth the effort to get there.

[@stephenlane9168]

Two fantastic NA V12 motors James 👌bloody great video, I enjoyed this 🙌👏

[@mo-hammadabunaser1367]

That F12 is going to be worth a couple million pounds some day, what a machine!

[@billreal76]

GREAT video, James! Love the comparison between your fabulous cars. Your descriptions are unmatched among auto KZbinrs.

[@paulkennedy477]

The golden light of a Highland autumn.......Great photography and excellent drone work, nice one James.

[@garybarnes3746]

The DBS every time. Suspect on a long road trip the screaming Ferrari V12 would become tiresome. The F12 TDF is faster, more technically able, more £valuable. But the DBS is better looking and it has that manual gearbox.

[@prssupercars8458]

I ended up buying a DB11 instead of the DBS... now I wonder if I made a mistake. I still have my '06 Vantage for manual shifting but man that DBS looks awesome.

[@peoplehavetherights]

Good for you!, I also have an 06 V8 Vantage. Loads of fun despite being "obsolete."

[@diegoaponte8512]

You might have made a mistake...... sorry mate.

[@oscartejura4887]

If it makes you happy you’ve made the right choice

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

I have a 2009 V8 Vantage.... Love it

[@prssupercars8458]

​@@oscartejura4887 I do love the DB11. Might be my favorite car in my collection if only Aston would have gotten the traction control right. It just spins the rears if you put your foot down.

[@KSL12]

F12 TDF is one of my all time favourites . Great video wish mine were half as good.

[@davidamdbsvolante3339]

Great Filming Sir, The roads up there are fantastic - I did the top route via Durness last year in my DB9 Volante, now I've got a DBS Volante your video makes me want to do it all over again....... especially after this lock-down years limited my day trips...... Please keep posting to keep the winter blues away

[@piershammond]

Great film @mrjww - haven't had the pleasure of the TDF but am lucky to own an AMR Rapide with a slightly modified version of that wonderful 6l NA V12. The thing that strikes me about the Aston is it can do Jekyll and Hyde, the shouty side of its character is nothing like as extreme as the TDF (although the 4 pipes on the AMR defo help) but it does the GT wafting so much better when that's all you want. That TDF sound epic though, the downshifts are something behold!

[@polattanoglu756]

Mr JWW you deserve a million subscribers just for the type language you choose when reviewing.

[@fjmrbakker]

Fogged up headlights of the DBS, I know your pain! Aston Martin even mentions this in the owners manual!

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

Standard on the Vantage too, nothing untoward and goes away fairly quickly. They do an aftermarket fan for them if needed but I never have

Love the F12. I was so glad you decided to keep it. One of the best Ferrari's ever made.

At 8:24 the sound of both cars passing the camera. Sheesh. I could listen to those V12’s all day.

Wonderful drone video along the water through the colorful trees.

[@alpeshu]

Great vid mate, I'm fortunate enough to own a DBS and cannot say enough good things about its design, style, sound etc etc! I've not driven the TDF but I'd say DBS wins here (not biased, honest!).... It's a proper GT and I'm now inspired to take it on these roads for some fun! Keep up the great work mate

[@bmxer4ever]

Ahh....the Green Welly Stop at Tyndrum. I couldn't even tell you how many times I've whizzed through there on the way to Nevis Range & Glencoe to go snowboarding in the past... Fun roads indeed! That stretch you stopped at to swap over at Bridge of Orchy is such a prime overtaking straight before you climb up to Rannoch Moor. Happy days! (Nice view from Ballachulish Marina to end with too...)

[@MREVREN]

Awesome video👌2 of the greatest sounding v12 or what!!!?👍

[@240fxst]

Sir you look the part of James Bond in the DBS. The cars are fabulous. The note of the ferrari is exhilerating. The manual trans is adicting. I got one with paddles now I need the DBS!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@timmietz]

James! I love the channel! Great choice of cars. I was fortunate enough to buy a 2009 manual transmission DBS earlier this year. The TDF Is on the list too but that is out of my price range for the time being. I had to settle for 997.2 GT3RS 3.8 which also a magnificent car! Thank you for everything that you do.

[@AyeletJames]

Awesome. Would love it if you gave more detail on where exactly you were e.g. the car park at the end

Oh boy what a fantastic pair to take to the Highlands the roads, the views, what more could you want in November from the UK. Hopefully we have a part 2 👍👊💥

[@LTCTTM]

Unpopular opinion. If I were completely disregarding the value, with the TDF being a lot more expensive, I would definitely take the DBS. The DBS is just so seductive. It has to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Not to mention, the manual gearbox. V12s are a dying breed, especially manual ones. Surely the DBS is set to appreciate in value.

@@MrJWW Continually outstanding! How come a U.S. channel hasn’t offered you your own show yet? However, I’m aware you have so many other lines of business in development and in motion, that you may not have the time for a regular tv slot, also I appreciate the need to be in control of your content. Just caught the Emirates film of the Pagani airlift. WOW! Now that was other level 🤯! Then to see the Pagani factory at the end…. A work of automotive art being created in a work of art.

James your taste it's just top notch, the true V12 which combines the purity of driving and the Monster that they become each one with a distinct character. A real duo in the most beautiful roads in the world. You have shown that your project has really grown-up and how much you have been investing, the results are very good. That detailed feedback makes all the difference, congratulations the best naturally aspirated of an era.

[@kevinkadrmas3260]

I love these cars!! Thanks for sharing and keeping me up at night dreaming of these cars! Best KZbin channel!! Keep it up James!

[@tedsmith_photography]

I really enjoy your videos. The production value, with the drone footage etc, is outstanding. I'll never have the money for either car, but it's nice to see them. It would be great for you to detail the roads a bit in these, so we can lookup where they are. I do a lot of photography (do you need a car photographer?!) so would enjoy to take my camera up there, maybe in my 1972 MGB. It's no AM or F, but fun to drive nevertheless.

[@kirk911constantine]

Just beautiful. A fantastic setting to wring out those V12s.

[@ozeskiman]

[@johnmcguire539]

Without a doubt the Aston is the most beautiful car and it's a proper grand tourer !!

[@aston-martin-internationalist]

DBS is very reliable. Aston reliability or bad reliability is somewhat of a myth. Classic Vanquish had quite a number of issues, but the VH platform (DB9/DBS/Virage/Vantage) has largely enjoyed a reliable track record with bullet proof engines and transmissions. Crappy single plate clutches on early Vantage are about the only Achilles heel, but that's pretty much it. Most other issues are either minor or not very common.

[@ravneetsingharora]

Beautiful work James. Lovely video.

[@edr.cars1]

Great video. Been to the Green Welly Stop many times as I go to Oban at least once every year. Love it up there, like a second home.

[@carlos64030]

The DBS is my favorite of the two, but the 6.3 liter V12 in the F12 TDF is such a bad-ass engine! Sometimes I have to stop and think how amazing it is that, that huge engine is spinning right up to 9,000 RPM! That's simply mind boggling!

[@GeesDrive]

The TDf is seriously special, great to see it being used as intended sir!
