What's on it? New video clips I hope!!

[Twin Turbo]

Local WHSmith's didn't have the latest copy today

[forthright mc]

the DVD is very good. it features a black RHD production vantage hooning round the nurburgring with chris porrit driving and providing an overview to that german woman who set the lap record a few years back. there are also some extra bits in the Aston section but i've not seen them yet.

Is it me just being Aston biast, or was that a really poorly written review by Clarkeson?
Ok we all know his back is but how many times did he mention it in the article and brush over stuff regards the car we wanted to know

Sorry , but I find him so hot and cold sometimes regards his writting.

Ignore any reviews, just get in it and make your own mind up when it arrives

Quite chuffed to see the old man made it in their though

[Muncher]

I got the mag this week and just watched the DVD. Black is the best colour by far, it just looks evil!

Yeah, I didn't think much of his review either, but he does seem to be a bit of a nobber these days

[Twin Turbo]

Yep, clearly the pain was putting him in a bad mood. I can't believe he won't buy a DB9 as he has a fear of "complex V12 engines" Seeing as he often refers to this V12 as 2 Mondeo V6s bolted together, that kinda defeats his argument.

I've always liked Clarkson since his Performance Car days. Everyone's entitled to an off-day, just a pity it co-incided with the Vantage review.

[Twin Turbo]

For a freebie, that DVD was pretty good, although the "snow drifing" bit went on a bit

Oh, and doesn't it sound nice? Not quite as nice as the V12....but pretty darn close.

A small point, but it's a pity the old style black 'n silver number plates are no-longer legal.....the ones on the front of the titanium car looked great.

(the new XK looks much better on the road too!).

[Church of Noise]

Could the content of that DVD be found somewhere on the 'net?
I have looked around for the Top Gear mag + DVD but haven't found any around here...

[clarky5150]

Anyone found this on the net yet please??

Here are the videos I know of:
