[@tavarish]

I did buy one. Feel free to drive it if you're stateside!

[@12mohdyasirfaridi75]

I once nearly bought Chiron But when I reached dealership I realised I don't have enough money!😂😂😂

[@olivershore4508]

mohd yasir faridi sounds like Wenger "I once nearly signed Messi"

[@SomeGuyCalledDosser]

What a daft story. Have I told you about the time I nearly bought a McLaren P1. I was about 35 or 36, I got as far as talking to McLaren, I wanted to go down to MTC in Woking and drive the car back home. In the end it didn't happen because I didn't have enough money.

[@dewille-pl]

that's amazing! I almost bought a Lexus LFA! I found an offer via internet auction and I bid!

[@big500]

Jamie Wilson that’s nothing, I nearly made love to Sandra Bullock... the first time, just as we were gonna get it on I woke up and fell out of bed. The second time just ended up with me waking up in a sticky mess......Oh well maybe next time..:)

[@sgdtv1368]

The difference between STG and shmee STG nearly brought a vantage twice shmee brought a vantage twice

[@bencritchley2005]

Sgd TV It's spelt 'bought', FYI

[@elmuerko]

where'd he bring it?

[@shiznuts]

to the point... Vantage point

[@ericsmith506]

I know he's all about clickbait because he doesn't make any money of youtube anymore

[@dx13dox]

This guys cant afford to run the two he has already and sleeps at his sisters house... Never mind an Aston...nearly bought this, nearly bought that. He's an idiot that needs to get his priorities right and grow up and get a proper job.

[@Raprada]

Does any of those Vantage come with bumper-to-bumper warranty?

[@itsfirst5936]

Riswan Ahmad P. Doug ffs

[@R1C0]

Riswan Ahmad P. Dough demero

[@sportsfreundberlin]

No that's the disad-Vantage 🤣

[@referencetheater1742]

You should be more worried about BMW and all that cra* to come with full warranty

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

If buying from a franchised dealer, they will come with 12 months Timeless warranty. Probably one of the most comprehensive warranties around.

[@Retrobeemer]

When are you back in Family Guy?

[@reinermiteibidde1009]

he really sounds like stewie, right?

[@Retrobeemer]

He is Stewie! That's why we love him so.

[@everythinggaming7938]

urm no he is not, all main family guy members voices are done by the same

[@CarsByVincent]

no shit....

[@deiviy]

return the glasses to your grandma

[@davidescamilla2446]

Hahahhhaha

[@Jack-bf6hv]

Deivi Y I thought it was a lesbian female when I clicked the thumbnail

[@LifeOfEmi]

Wish I could consider buying a vantage at 18/19

[@venom5809]

Nothing screams "I'm a rich kid and I got my money from my family" more than someone saying that at 18 years old they were considering buying a goddamn Aston Martin. LOL

[@eshanmirash2456]

Bruh he is nowhere near 18

[@eshanmirash2456]

2nd time watching the vid btw and he turned 30 this year I believe

[@bertpierey3655]

So you watxhed it twice and you didnt hear him say he was 18 or 19 first time he wanted one? Maybe you should watch better then

[@fgcpeak9591]

careful. envy is not a nice thing to have

[@TommyWalls007]

He also said he didn't buy it because he didn't have money....

[@hugogarcia-ze4ms]

Why i bought an aston martin vantage Getting my aston wrapped Why im selling my aston martin vantage

[@metalfreaxx1]

hugo garcia “i trade my ferrari 360 for a manual aston martin vantage”

[@itsfirst5936]

hugo garcia you missed out the exhaust bit

[@stfu6397]

You nearly bought everything right?

[@anonymousmind]

He nearly bought a Chiron with his dads money too.

[@dewille-pl]

that's why I only subscribed to Shmee

[@Jack-bf6hv]

He hasn’t nearly bought a razor yet.

[@IULENZA]

I'd totally buy a vantage over a 911 as everyday supercar anyday. It's everything: the looks, the sound, the perfomance, nice and comfortable interior

[@turbos7780]

Andre Tennis not over a gt3

[@IULENZA]

ofcourse, with 911 i was referring to normal 911, not the "special" version gt and gt rs (rs are definitelly not the ultimate daily btw xD)

[@turbos7780]

Andre Tennis of course but a gt3 could be

[@WickedSpade]

Andre Tennis the performance? An aston doesn't compare to a porsche

[@IULENZA]

actually i meant to say that a vantage has plenty of performance as a everyday sport car and imo is better than a standard 911 carrera 2/4

[@tuzso2180]

Vantage S over 360 any day of the week sorry

[@manc37m]

Give your Granny her glasses back mate.

[@archier8v10plusshamilton2]

Ian Sneddon he looks like a nonce

[@AVE_LUCIFERUS_666]

you meant nancy

[@Blade1310]

NHS specials from the 60's.............for those English people who will understand :)

[@_spyderman_]

and there's shmee who nearly bought a Koenigsegg.. you all car youtubers always nearly bought a car..!!!!

[@_spyderman_]

I once nearly bought Dubai but i was 2 cents short ..!!

[@TheZmt325]

I love waking up ti stg videos.

[@gavinlove2112]

I have to say, although I love the look of the AMR kit, it kind of ruins the lines and the true meaning of this car. I have to say I think a standard V8s needs a bit of optioning up so I’d rather spend whatever obscene amount Aston are charging for the AMR kit on carbon everything...

[@christophernottingham5795]

I agree about the kit.... The spoiler is exactly that a SPOILER.... make the car look cheap....dislike spoilers like this with a passion...worst kind of upgrade. Looks like it should be bolted on a rover 200 or vauxhall astra ;)

[@HardstyleOG]

Interesting that you nearly bought an AM Vantage but on the other hand Shmee almost bought the Koenigsegg special one haha!

[@olivershore4508]

Psun I nearly bought an island, but I think the reason I didn't is because I didn't have the money !

[@aaronhussain3873]

Here's an idea for your classic car: Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV ;)

[@PoloDaBear]

The Alfa Romeo SZ is my favourite

[@HenrikArjen]

Would be great because not many KZbinrs drive an Alfa!

[@peetje28021970]

No you didn't. Click bait at its finest.

[@Tubleros]

He didnt say "I almost bought an aston martin vantage today"

[@Tubleros]

But either way, how is this clickbait?

[@peetje28021970]

Albacko that's why its click bait

[@Tubleros]

Why is it clickbait? He explains how he nearly bought an old vantage, as stated in the title.

[@shiznuts]

The definition of 'nearly' is quite loose and open to interpretation. But this was more of 'playing with the idea'... and frankly, one could consider all cars out there at any given point... like, I could say 'I nearly bought an Abarth 124 Spider', because I once was interested and went to take a look and sat in one. Never actually was pursuaded to spec and buy one. Interest and buying... 2 different things.

[@Jack-cu7rl]

sam your videos always have such a good vibe, great editing

[@clarkedward123]

Yeah cause you did mate, this bloke talks absolute waffle, talks cheap money buys cars.

[@lucaspiresr]

A car that is built for 12 years is not a positive thing. It's just a signal of a broke brand that has nowhere else to go.

[@oldmanjenkins38]

If I had the money. Hands down Aston Martin would be the only car I would spend that kind of money on. 🇬🇧 Bond. James Bond. Nothing to me as iconic as that.

[@Honda_Hooligan]

My history teacher from 1985 just called. He wants his glasses back.

[@kize32]

Aston Martin doesn't really need limited editions because no one buys them anyway.

[@samman59939]

Love the looks of the vantage

[@peterm3964]

Compares Aston Martin to 911 . ALMOST BOUGHT an Aston Martin . What a loser . DADYS’ money didn’t stretch to an ASTON . FLEX ON FLEX BOY .

[@Jim-v3o]

One of the biggest reasons I boughtmy V8VS is because it's NOT a 911, you see them everyday, everywhere. Not so with my Aston

[@joshogden345]

You will loose half as much on a 2011 vantage over your cayman. In exchange for double the satisfaction. Vantages really hold money after 5 years old. It will accentuate your British eccentricity!

[@peoplehavetherights]

Just a guess, but this fellow was seriously considering purchasing an Aston V8 Vantage at age 18? He hadn't even started at Oxford yet, for Heaven's sake.

[@carsandchronos]

British cars drop in value like a lead balloon! Good you didn't. The gaudy wood in the older ones is rough...

[@ThisIsMTH]

You didn’t get close if you couldn’t afford it mate. In that case, I’ve nearly bought a 250TDF 19 times.

[@sylvainmmm29]

Love the V8 Vantage S...

[@klasseact6663]

Sam...lose those glasses, LOL!

[@archier8v10plusshamilton2]

Klasse Act nonce goggles

[@klasseact6663]

Archie R8 V10 Plus Shamilton ...sorry I'm 47 and might explain why I don't know what those are, LOL.

[@archier8v10plusshamilton2]

Klasse Act Jimmy saville specs

[@Jack-bf6hv]

I’m pretty sure you can buy the eyes of Palestinian kids in Israel, alternatively there is laser treatment. Even contact lenses

[@dantonchat71]

Spoiler alert, he didn't have the cash the two times he wanted to buy one. As usual, that's a 12 minutes video that could have been condensed into 6 EASY.

[@brentzittel]

I almost bought a vantage too but it was just too expensive..... wtf lol how is that almost buying a car

[@radityaindera3442]

Its not close if you dont have the money dude. In that sense I almost buy a Ferrari F12 Tdf as well like 15 times then :/

[@darak3208]

Astons suit you so go ahead and buy one any model you want to make me feel bad that I cant afford one :P one day soon in 2,3 years I will hopefully :P :P

[@darrenguest7284]

So actually three times you didn’t come close to buying an Aston. I came close to buying a mclaren when I drove past the dealer

[@mr.papalaka374]

I very nearly bought this car is like saying I very nearly got laid. You either did or you didn't - you didn't, twice.

[@timwilliams8169]

Pretty sure the white Vantage S you were pointing to at the start is my car 😂 buy one now, they're much more affordable!

[@markbradshaw8456]

Hey, sorry about the comment about your glasses before but maybe they are a spider web colour of that scary new spider in our homes ( false widow)

[@olivershore4508]

One - the first time wasn't close as you admit you didn't actually have the cash to buy one. Two - click bait

[@MitchWebb94]

You sound like you mess a lot of people about with a lot of fluff, I'd maybe stay clear of doing that in the future Sam

[@AutomotiveMike]

You should, sell the Rarri!

[@danc1660]

Automotive Mike why would he do that he has only just got it

[@leco8940]

Glasses in black,gold,silver,tortoise shell,titanium,platinum, would suit you better. Lee

[@JackSparrow-hk6su]

Stop waving your hand in front of the camera! Its bloody annoying. I want to seethe cars not your hand Sam.

[@markgeudens2450]

Aston stays aston.... Maybe some are faster maybe some look younger but they will never have the finess or the class of An aston Martin

[@stephenoverstreet9898]

So he said that it was brand new until you had them put some number plates on it. Does that mean you’ve purchased that one?

[@cordonbloue]

Thats like the most 90ish tuning shop spoiler I have ever seen why should you ruin your aston with this stuff

[@derekdainton1]

Master Baiter

[@skyisdlimit6125]

Should’ve got the Ashton than than that grandma Ferrari 360 super slow non speciale

[@davevernon4993]

There's only Mr JWW who can say Vantage correctly, it's not VARNTAGE is it, you don't say Transit Varn, it's a Van, so why "VARNTAGE".

[@davevernon4993]

Joe Marano Zero to do with my geographic location, transit van not Varn, van - tage not Varn - tage, ask, not arsk, grass not grarse...

[@moonkef]

Wow Sam, Aston Bristol looks better than Newport Pagnell!

[@soniagilljandu2315]

Great Video mate!!!

[@discoverlight]

Hey Sam when are you going to Utah to visit James The Stradman? The invitation is open.

[@charlieh3998]

When I was 16 I almost dated Farrah Fawcett but then sadly I realized I was an idiot.

[@NewtonInDaHouseYo]

Yeah, V600. Elvis has entered the building. Forget about the rest...

[@Maximil1ion]

I once almost bought a koenigsegg... I just didn’t have enough money

[@AlexSami-qw4qu]

I nearly bought a pack of gum. Didn't want to break a $5.

[@FormTrends]

How much did Aston Martin Bristol pay you for this? Genuinely curious.

[@petet2036]

Can’t get with the Aston’s can’t put my finger on it but it just doesn’t do it for me

[@eltiburon1983]

i nearly bought a buggati chiron... but a few million € were missing.....

[@tris7]

Ahh the V600, back when Astons weren't 'bling' *shudder*

[@novaok]

They've a proper detailer there. Stripes in the carpet.

[@Meyerwoodworks]

GT8 is hands down one of the best cars ever produced. Absolutely great looking and the sound is incredible. Tim has the best spec too, love the blue and orange.

[@rtroyer8963]

I almost bought an early 1960’s Mercedes 230sl, it would have been a money pit long term, I did get a Porsche 914 instead, way more fun! Thanks for the excellent video!

[@joeychaseable]

I agree with everything that you've said about the Vantage.. One of if not, the most beautiful car ever mass produced....

[@miamimo70]

Anyone kept a late Aston for more than a year?

[@المعاذباللهاليماني]

I nearly bought a Koeneiggseg hauyra fxxk.

[@eydzuanrosley522]

that vantage looks better than the new one that car just classy compare to the new one

[@markolson8928]

For someone who has been a Porsche fan forever, that drives a Corvette ZO6, the Vantage V8 has been a must have unicorn for me. It's the ora it expels. By the way Sam, you are one of the few Vlogers that hasn't go Casey Sunglass in your Vlog. Good on You.

[@DNLV-yn2cw]

Ngl, I love the retro style of the AMR with the red tail lights & 5-spike wheels! Reminds me of the Vantage N24 😍 I too have been craving one of these old muscly-looking V8’s 😍

[@rick3269]

I love aston.....

[@WickedSpade]

Let us all take a moment to acknowledge.... Smhee....fuuuucked up his GT8 spec. Ok settled.

[@geddstock]

PoopStinkPie ok lets see yours??? Oh yea you ain’t got one"..........................plum

[@detailingfinesse7457]

I had a chance to drive a 2008ish v8 vert that a dealership I worked at had. I was driving an s2000 at the time and the vantage was not only obviously more refined, but the driving experience was leaps and bounds ahead! It felt like more of a sports car than the s2000. And the gearbox my god was it good. Dream car for sure

[@archiewhite3817]

Mess modest monitor wire appeal treasure about wind like ahead.

[@murdoch9106]

Oh yeah, Sam! And I almost bought a Porsche 918! SOOO CLOSE! A few years ago, other then lacking the funds I was really close!! ;P

[@goldbug5180]

Glad to see someone else who really appreciates the v8 Vantage!! I always thought it was the perfect blend for a true driver between the V8 sounds, beautiful interior, and manual transmission. The V8 Vantage GT's are amazing if you can find them with the updated interior. Throw the titanium exhaust on there with the AMR aero pack and call it a day...

[@mikemittel2691]

Sam, thank you for doing another wonderful video on one of my most favorite cars. As an owner of a 2010 v8 manual with the sport package, I have to agree on the classic shape of the Vantage. I believe that even though it has been around since 2005, it has the sexiest lines of any car on the road today. In America you don’t see many on the road so it’s an honor to be able to show off this beautiful hand built sports cars. Thanks again Sam and have a Merry Christmas! Cheers!

[@guitaralmond]

I love how your favourite is the Lightning Silver car, identical to the V12 S I bought 😊

[@scottseager3289]

Shmee 150, vehicle virgins and Mr JWW are the best automotive youtubers Sam, Seb, Archie and Paul not so much. 😂😂😂

[@bicyclist2]

I love any Aston with a manual gearbox. I love the older 600 Vantage in the workshop at 6:17. I hope to be able to afford an Aston some day. This is pure car porn. Thank you.

[@barryg4760]

I nearly bought an Aston Martin? No you didn’t...

[@blackflagpirate3444]

Beautiful car mate.The last Classic was the DB7 Which was also in the JamesBond film in the late 60s

[@th3b0untyhunter]

Who the tell told you the manual box in the V12 Vantage S is better than the original V12 Vantage ??? The 6 speed is great, the 7 speed has a clunky slow change

[@STRmw2]

RE: putting the christmas tree in your porsche on instagram told you it wasn't a daily

[@denisspratt926]

I do love Astons. And i might order the new one when i move to Italy in the spring. But i probably have to wait for over a year to get it. I read that they have already sold the entire production for 2018. Great video as always. Keep it up.

[@beano6452]

Basically a 15 min advert for Aston Martin Bristol.

[@272CRU]

Please stop waiving your hand in front of the lens!!

[@24bellers20]

And I nearly found a million pounds.🤦🏻‍♂️

[@alexrego7027]

I nearly bought a Chiron but I realized I didn't had the money!!!! who cares about the nearlys... Live is made of certainties!

[@66StodaC66]

Didn’t realise the show room was that nice, might have to pop down Cribbs at some point. And yes you should’ve saved and bought the new vantage you pratt 😂

[@ckmurphy1]

Agree they're beautiful but reliability always a concern. Not sure on value increase their are a lot of them for sale much more supply than demand unfortunately....

[@BRAINFxck10]

It's like the Playboy Mansion for car guys

[@ASpeedyPotato]

All I remembered from that video was that you managed to stall a V12 Vantage S

[@tdougs77]

I got excited watching this video and I currently own a Vantage V8S. STG if you ever want a roll out msg me!

[@jeffancelet7366]

I very nearly bought a McLaren F1...then I realized that I didn't have $15M to spend. Damn!
