    Now that's changed a lot from when I carried out the final inspection on the original car at Gaydon back in 2008/2009......
    This is an absolute epic build...
    So much passion and hard work has gone into heavily modifying this V8 Vantage..... Fairplay to the owner great vision and execution.... You sir are a legend in you own right for making this a beast of a vehicle.... Well done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

People, food, culture, traditions, discipline. Every upload of cars meets, shows, races, on UA-cam that I watch based out of Japan be it from Larry or anyone else, there is ALWAYS a few constants and that is, PEACEFULNESS, HAPPY yet very serious enthusiasm for the Automotive realm. ALWAYS. Just mad respect from me. This where I wanna live. I hope to be able to visit before I die from bs I was exposed to in the military.

    Yeah the rocks are flying from rear tires and not having rear bumper behind, not from the diffuser. Diffusers work great, as do low mounted wings, I design and make some from carbon and 3d-printed hollow core. But rock needs to be at least jumping from the tyre to start with to elevate it more in the suction. But this size diffuser just does not really produce enough suction to affect heavy stone on asphalt, albeit being on very effective height from ground. But I can totally get that the stones are directed by low pressure zone of any car really behind it, more towards middle.

    The reason it’s so loud could be down to the little valve that flips open once the power has been unleashed. Also when Jeremy Clarkson took the stock V8 Vantage out to the countryside on old Top Gear. At one stage in the review, he was positioned a few miles from such a lovely car and well him and the camera could still hear it. He said in terms of miles the V8 Vantage can be heard from two miles away. Sure that is in an open area far from a city. But even at two miles away, sound still has to travel through things and around them. Which does show such a beautiful car in stock form was wonderfully engineered.
    Lastly what do I think about this gentleman’s V8 Vantage. It’s good to see the car has been modified gracefully. Too many Aston Martins over the years have been modded in the name of performance. However once some modified Aston Martin’s are put up for sale. Quite a few modified Aston Martins have a lower value when compared to stock one’s that had their engines rebuilt.
