I’m not sure how this chap is received in the UK. Atrocious grammar. Speaks like he has escaped from prison after a few murders committed in a Guy Ritchie movie. Very dubious tastes on modifications. I think you’d classify as old Chav. He actually irritates me. Every take on cars is way off the mark. But he seems to like Astons.

He’s made a new video.

Then again if everyone liked the same fing it’d be boring down the pub wouldn’t it?

LOL, if you sat that about Richard you must be very well sheltered.

That green V12 is stunning!

He finks the wheel gap is a bit big guv’na. He can fix it. I think he mentioned “stance”. I’d issue a UK edict that this man is banned from purchasing and desecrating Astons.

I will stop now. And end the video.

I fink you might be on his wavelength. He can fix everything. Slam it and stick on a nice wing. I fink it would be stunning mate.

And then off to Yannis Mopadopolous for a banging wrap...

Haha. Accurate. Something that reflects degrees of purple hues.

I fink that would be right lovely. As long as the stance is right.

Fantastic film. Hopefully the new series measures up.

I have not seen this man's videos before.
I skipped through, just wondering whether the film eventually became entertaining, or interesting. No was the answer.

Very strange that someone would make a video, about looking at cars for sale adverts.
I am sure that we are all capable of looking at advert listings ourselves, if we wanted to.

I noticed that he did not seem to like Aston Martin running costs, or the high road tax, but that he wanted many of the cars he highlighted, at very differing price points.

Perhaps the best way to forget all about values, is to enjoy ownership of a 4.7 manual keeper.

To be honest I've lived and worked in Essex a couple of times; he doesn't sound anything out of the ordinary - just Estuary English, and not even exaggerated. The glottal stop is slowly creeping up the country and RP is definitely in decline. Personally I sound like I'm from the set of "Peaky Blinders"

He's a long way from Chav - he never mentioned fart cans or dump valves once, but he does seem to have a wheel gap and spoiler fetish. I agree that purists wouldn't like what he proposes (I number myself amongst them) and I find it difficult to believe that the Aston Chassis Engineering team can easily be beaten on performance by a man in a shed with a set of coil-overs - perhaps he doesn't like comfort or his fillings?

As an aside, have you seen the series of videos by a guy who transplanted a complete Corvette drivetrain, with 700 bhp blown LS motor, into a Vantage?

Loved it.

Re Richard Groves (CTR) ... seems like a nice guy, does love his cars and especially Aston's. What are others thoughts on here to what he says about the current 2017 - 2023 Vantage values?

I skipped through it but didn't pick up anything about his taste and his accent wasn't an issue, but I think he's been to the same school of 'Making Excessively Dull Videos With Staring Eyes' as someone else we know.

Mental note to self. Do not go on a forum after a few glasses of wine.

I had already told myself I was never going to watch another of his videos due to the butchery. But then I did. I’ve now muted the channel. Crisis averted,

Sorry about that.
