Now YOU get to Drive the Aston Martin DBS POV

A great YouTuber DoctaM3 has inspired me to make a video just like what he made few days back for his wonderful Lamborghini Aventador.. "Now YOU get to Drive the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador POV"

Now I went ahead and made such video to make the dreamers have a feel of how it is like to be behind the steering wheel.. It wasn't easy to stabilize the footage, but I really tried my best while saving the other details in the footage.. I hope you will like it..

Good vid..

But how boring is it to drive on flat roads with no curves. Reminds me of Florida...another absolutely dreadful place to drive a sportscar. Unless you like to cruise up and down the strips. What a waste of a fine machine. Bet you can't wait to get back to Austria.

Oh, and I see the 458 comes with that absolutely mandatory accessory...a fire extinguisher.

Cheers!

I got a kick out of that too. While some people add extinguishers to cars for show, you might actually need it with the 458!

looool.. never thought of it, but you are right, adding extinguishers should be mandatory in 458s..

and yes, after driving around the mountains of Austria, it's pretty hard to find other place to enjoy such cars

Video of the day..

As I was taking a nice cruise in the city of Vienna, I saw this great looking R8 with a terrifying sound, I slowed down and introduced my self to the gentleman driving, kindly enough he actually pulled over and we exchanged a nice conversation about our cars, this is a little video to listen to his car, mind you in the video, it really doesn't show how loud his car was, I'll only point that at the beginning, the guys working with horses were going nuts cos the horses were terrified from his car sound, that should say something..

This time filming from the DBS..

My newly established supercars club, the 2 Second Club, (2SC) was invited to a special event, attending the unveiling of the new Aston Martin Zagato in Vienna.. The event was only for selective people, and Aston Martin had a nice presentation about how to place an order and what is the options to be included.

it is the few people like you that once in a while pop up and make what I am doing worth every second, thank you for your kind words, and the effort I put filming and editing is not important if I end up making you feel the way you do about my work..

thank you and stay tuned for much more..

Thank you very much...it is nice to see fellow enthusiast making everyone part of the experience. I like how you creatively blend experience, with excitement, art, music, and fun theme to bring everyting together, the pics are quite nice also with backgrounds and nice angles. Very nice DBS you have...I was considering a DBS myself during my search until I ran across a very unique DB9, one which had a very unique and interesting history. The dealer that sold it to me was a large retailer of German marques and had no idea what they had when they recieved this gem on a trade-in for a new Audi R8 V10, the prior owner did not disclose the car's history.

Here is a picture of my DB9...first off, it is very rare 6 speed manual with Sport package (i.e. DBS running gear, steering rack & pinion, forged sport split 5 star mags w titanium lugnuts, special lower/stiffer springs matched to dampers, larger anti-roll bars etc..)...the car also has clear tail lights and silver mesh accents on every grille panel including the silver bar across the rear valence with the reverse sensors. The color is Slate blue with obsideon black and piano wood veneer. As it turns out this car is an extremely rare press car, one of only a few Aston made for the autoshow circuit, this one is for the Los Angeles auto show (engraved on the sill plates and in the engine plackard it says - "Press Garage") and has options that are unique. I think it is one of only a couple of 6 speed manual DB9 Press cars ever produced...I have not been able to find another one like it in terms of unique options with the it's History.

the car is a blast to drive and like yourself, I enjoy epending time behind the wheel and feeling what these cars are really about. I hope you don't mind me sharing some pics on your thread brother!
