That blonde was me! About 11 years ago and a couple of stone heavier! And for all those who thought it was daft for me to choose the car....of course I wouldn't, but I couldn't say that on Top Gear! Thanks for all the nice comments. The car was gorgeous!
you are gorgeous

It still is

Smashing pair of chebs on you, Fleur!
Some say his mixer is upside down and recently he's been found lowering all the studio dubs below the background music. All we know is he is not the Stig, but the Stig's sound engineer cousin.
The accuracy
IT’S NOT JUST MEE
Everyone of these early Top Gear UA-cam videos has horrific sound production, so I think it is intentional that free content has something wrong with it. Happens usually, free is almost as good as the one you have to pay for :D
What happens when these videos get ripped for youtube by the uploader is that, for the most part, these shows are in 5.1 Dolby® with most of the dialogue in the center channel and when the soundtrack is ported to stereo, they usually don't have a mixer that allows them to port the center channel into the stereo mix through an aux send. So a lot of the dialogue gets lost and all you get is the L/R stereo mix.
So; his balls are above his ears so they flop down and cover them, impairing his sound detection and judgemental ability?
I thought my speakers were busted.
I'm writing this mid-2020, and I love this Aston Martin.
Me too
I love this one
It has aged really well. It looks like it just rolled out of a motor show.
The old DBS that set out to replace it is better in my opinion. The clear taillights that are just swooping outlines instead of the full tallight speak more to me, and the headlights having that black outline bothers me - you can see the lack of it on the 575 has made it age somewhat better.
However, those are my only qualms with it. Were they to modernize those two sets of lights, it would look spectacular.
Same here
"no one talks on the phone in formula one". a time before talking and driving was illegal...
Well, you weren't 1 of the the one's wedged between a tree and unable to perform life, so i'd say be thankful for these times in a sense maybe?
@@netweed09 "unable to perform life"... never heard "dead" described like that. anyway, that law was heavily lobbied for by Bluetooth manufacturers, of course marketing the law to the braindead masses as a "necessary safety feature".
@@WOWWOW-hk1tbYeah research shows that it's only marginally safer to use a hands free device, if it's even safer at all. The fact of the matter is, driving while having a conversation on the phone increases the risk of accidents and reduces your ability to respond to changing conditions on the road.
So if it was really all about making the roads as safe as possible, I guess you'd have to make it illegal to talk on the phone period. But that's not a realistic option and education is always more effective than enforcement. So if it was really about making the roads as safe as possible, they'd focus on that. But that doesn't raise any revenue.
God above why did they keep that terrible sound editor over so many seasons ?!
Why couldn't Jeremy have punched the sound guy instead he deserves it
+eminemishh What? Q.Q What? Q.Q What? Q.Q What? Q.Q What? Q.Q What? Q.Q
He only does the UA-cam videos.
agreed
It's a problem of youtube with 5.1
first episode of top gear i ever watched... got me hooked. the combination of clarkson and aston martin is just too good to pass up
well welcome to the top gear club
i know im 10 years late
Why is there always a poorly over dubbed music track on these videos that drowns just about everything else out?
That frustration at the gearbox is still how I feel in 2021, even though the test of the world has become placidly accepting of automatic/automated gearboxes.
Even just a simple automatic would have been fine in a heavy, luxurious GT like the Vanquish. That Vanquish's gearbox just seemed needlessly over-engineered for the sake of a novelty
That Tom Jones comparisons, it still get me to this day how Clarkson comes up with these analogies
It's actually a simile not an analogy but I'm just being petty😁
@@georgekubu5094 do you know what a simile is?
@@raphaelthegreatest8532 "A simile is a figure of speech, while an analogy is a type of argument; a simile is also a type of metaphor, while an analogy is not. Generally, an analogy is more complex than a simile. Another key difference between the two is that similes in English use either "as" or "like" to make their comparison."
Writers, plan and simple
Jezza: This car sounds like a Welsh singer being violently gang raped in prison…and I love it.
Me: 😱😱😱 🤢 🤮🤮🤮
The db7 and db9 ranges have aged sooo well
Me @ most modern cars: “ WHAT WAS THE MATTER WITH A MANUAL?!?!”
Because not many buy em unfortunately.
@@geethsan1567 no not many people buy them for their boring old Toyota Corolla or mom’s SUV but people have proven that they’d rather have a manual in their sports car and manuals will always hold their value over automatics in fun cars
Going back and watching these old episodes reminds me that BBC and Top Gear really wasn't what made Wilman, Clarkson, May, and Hammond but the other way round.
This was from series 1 or 2 wayyyy back in 2002!! Remember watching this when i was 7 years old haha!
Series 1. Sadly dave dont show series 1 or 2 on tv
Sukhdev R34 i know mate it’s gutting eh!! Wish the bbc would release a box set from series 1 all the way through til series 22 or whatever when Clarkson, May and Hammond left, I’d happily pay 170 quid for that no question considering the hours upon hours of nostalgia and entertainment it would be worth!!
@@liamschannel6294 Exactly. Dave cut out someone bits as well. Remember in the supercars in France series 7? On dave they cut out the part where they play table according or something as a break
Sukhdev R34 I’ve got most of the top gear DVDs thankfully so i watch all the uncut versions, i bought all of the Jeremy Clarkson solo dvds aswell even the ones that were originally on VHS from when i was younger i got the dvd versions and some of them were like 30 odd quid but wanted them all to rewatch and show my son haha
@@liamschannel6294 lucky.
He's right on the gearbox. An aston has now need for flappy paddles. It's not a racer, its a GT. Manual makes more sense.
God, I just love Top Gear.
I love the sound of that Aston V12 at full chat!
they resurfaced the military road last year and it's absolutely flawless now, amazing driving road
how far automated manuals have come
in other words; Autos
I mean you can pick up these early Vanquishes for under $60,000 now, so can you really complain about a clunky transmission when you just bought one of the most beautiful cars ever made for such a relatively low price?
It's not an excuse though, especially if you are the original owner who paid full price for this 20+ years ago. This was around £165,000 at the time, which would be about £292,000 in today's money. Converted to US dollars, it's about $371,000. Imagine paying that much and finding it more frustrating to operate in the most mundane situations; and it malfunctioned a lot that gearbox.
Love both of these cars so much
Some body should take the last part out and make it meme " what's wrong with a Manuel gearbox. Why do we have this?"
he makes everything so fun and exciting to watch. he is best.
Alright, I can't stand it! I have to say it!
Some say he was born without ears......
Others say when he hears elevator music.......he dances.......
All we know, he's called the Top Gear sound guy!
@gambino888 Welcome back to youtube, it must have been a few years since there were no commercials on youtube
The green Aston Martin is absolutely a beautiful car!
+Bond James Bond Nah, only thing that's ugly is your mom.
***** I know.
***** No need to use nothing more twice no need.
janakiram suswaram do love green
Jezza: 0:06
Metronomy: Allow us to introduce ourselves
Oofff that low rumbly, growl. Every DB aston has it. Such a charismatic car.
This was such a long time ago!
@M4cey
you can skip the advertisements if you hit F5, it refreshes the page or something and youtube reads you've already watched the advert... and takes you right to the video. it's surprising how few people know this lol
question: when you have those formula 1's paddles, do you have clutch or is it semi- manual?
I love the way the headlights look, like antifreeze on wet pavement haha
"Carbon Feeber" :D lol
I've heard they're factory replacing the automatics for a manual setup
If you pause at 2:29 and look in the oncoming lane on the road it says "slow". LOL
Love the Aston. I would be very happy with the Vanquish.
I agree. I hate flappy paddle gearbox. I preffer geartronic where you can actually change into reverse or drive and then use manual mode if you really want to. No point in flappy gear box if it is not your race day car.
theres suppose to be one in november (this month) not sure though, seen this Top Gear Live thing on youtube, so it might be something different.
Please come back to the Isle of Wight! I go down that road everyday en route to school and remember this, it would be brilliant to not have to hop to the mainland on the expensive ferry to see my automotive fix! I usually end up saving up for tickets and travelling all the way to Brands Hatch! Why not just make it a 20 minute walk for me by returning to the good old Military Road or some others that I could recommend for your filming? :)
@TopGearrules isnt it just the date the episode came out? cause its with allot of Top Gear on youtube
These two our my favourite models. I would love each one in the beautiful silver metallic.
I have to say, there may be plenty of cars that perform better for the money, but these are absolutely beautiful cars. I've seen two of them in person and had to stop and look both times.
uploaded 10 Nov 2002?? Great piece of film though! Haven't seen it for 5 years!
November 15th is when the new series starts. Top gear live is today and tomorrow in Birmingham(or however it's spelled)
I’d argue that both of these cars have aged pretty well compared to other early 00s coupes.
i love the sound of the vanquish
So great ! The best design in modern car history.
"So I've got to get my foot off the brakes, and before we roll into the Atlantic I've got to hit the accelerator. But I mustn't hit it too hard, or I'll end up in the lifeboat hut"
Or you could, uhh, I don't know... use the handbrake instead?
no.
It has the one with the footbrake if I'm not mistaken.
Top Gear are not known for being very objectives but they usually don't get it wrong that much... The gearbox of the Vanquish is not great indeed but it is not an automatic with optional paddle shifts, it is a true manual (with an ASM mode but let's keep it simple). The car has a classic hand break which helps a lot for a 3 point turns!!
It's not even the Atlantic
Robbie Jones What is it, then?
2:08 - 2:12 That's why Top Gear is THE best car show in the world.
Please someone tell me if that is the original soundtrack of that video because the soundtrack i have in mind is completly different of that. Maybe the old video i saw was the modificated. ???
the trick to driving one of those while doing a 3 point turn on a slope is to keep your foot on the brake, when you feel the clutch engage let off of it, its not that hard
oh my goodness - This car is a beauty!
i agree
using Firefox or Crome you should use Adblock add on.
2:54 - Best Part !!!!
Thank you Jeremy only manuals please
Thankyou
hey does anybody know the song when the stig is driving the aston and the Ferrari when he is doing the powerlap in this episode
Look I'm just saying that it has me as a full minute before the other two :) lol
this will sound so out of place but i love the aston martin as it is from what im seeing but i would love to see 1 with more power and to see jeremy's reaction to it
That vanquish looks better then the 2013 model year vanquish.
arghhhh what is the song at 3:21"!"! it is so beautiful
Tom Hawkey-Soar darude sandstorm
@@deborahdiperna2451 lol
Not any more! They sold it before getting rid of Jaguar and Land Rover.
Don't know how they separate the top of the range Jag and Aston, they were both made at Bloxham near Banbury.
Nice mixing....
11YEARS go??
This sound was made for teles I guess, sounds horrible now but somehow was perfect when I watched it after school hours, back home some centuries ago
@TheHaos1 haha, no worries, I'm a big TopGear fan as well, I've watched every single one, and someday I hope to go to England just to watch them haha.
nice car ! And clarkson is so cool , love him ^^
i swear this is from 2003, look how much people there are there compared to now
aston martin: offers only a very complex dual clutch transmission
clarkson: you gotta to be kidding me, i want a manual!!
how time has changed hasn't it. I'm feeling lonely nowadays preferring manuals...
Who doesn't want a manual?
But the problem is that it wasn't a dual clutch box, it was an old school single clutch automated manual and they were terrible - slow upshifts, clunky gear-changes at low speed and the system used to ride the clutch so much you were lucky if it lasted more than 15k miles...
@M4cey YES!
Did he just compare the engine noise to Tom Jones being bummed
I love Top Gear
What do you think the Aston would have if it was performance tuned? Its a luxury GT car, producing 500 Nm of torque. and a fantastic noise. Something the Evo lacks i think, is that V12 roar.
The power in that V12 will be far more accessible and useable on the road, regardless of the location, gear or RPM, in comparison to the EVO, if, for no other reason than its NA, so no turbo lag.
NOW? commercials on youtube??? where the hell you been for the last year
@NinjTwo mm, fair point :D didnt saw it was from season 1 tho
I'd seriously drive this even with 200hp, it's just so beautiful *__*
Gabriel G Than I'd just look at it, that would be enough too :3
+Ibrahim Strika lol well played
No you wouldn't =)
It's nothing compared to the F-type
@Innerspace100 its because top gear changes the background music and edit the video again to put it on youtube, the originals are better.
That car is just so beautiful. I could look at it all day.
@twinpalmvintage the guy that edits the audio is the stig
i love the complication of its gearbox
firefox+adblock=no commercials on youtube
Press 4 and 5 for the epic v12 sound
other top gear series?
Jeremy: so in a car (strange smile)
that evil smile at 2:06
@TheHaos1 ahh yes, I forgot about the TVR, and yeah I think if they wanted to they could make it way faster, did you watch the TopGear episode where they showed the aston that was a racing edition? That thing was faaaaast.
@KrazeeCain They have, mercifully.
What is the instrumental at the beginning plz??
he complains about the flappy paddles but this was one of the first production cars that started to use it and the technology was obviously not perfected.... it is because of cars like this that all cars of the future will have more advanced technology
the 458 also has very high compression and isn't designed for long journeys
that's why i love my daihatsu terios because it's manual.
Didn't see Jeremy complaining about the sequential gear shifters in the Ferrari F430... hmm
today? fri 13th may 12 aston martins i saw heading towards carcassone france. as jeremy said france truly is supercar country . but what he did not mention? speed cameras everywhere.
which season is this
Jeremy, to do a 3 point turn on a hill; don't blame the gearbox, use either the Parking brake or use your left foot on the brake pedal.
@cronicd20 no but the episode was released then :)
@Prankcafe Oh, yea it was introduced in 2002
Did someone just scream at 0:46??
Yes
loll
On the phone 😭 so dated love it
