Let us not forget that James May has not only driven faster than Clarkson and Hammond (259 mph in a Bugatti Veyron), he's also been to space in a U-2 spy plane, and, despite his overwhelming fear of heights, once flew a tow-behind caravan across England. James May is easily the most extreme member of the trio hands down.

@restojon1 Год назад

I've driven that exact car and others of the same and similar models, I have a feeling that this one may have gone back to the Aston Heritage workshop and had a new set of gears chucked in the box because it seems a bit more prominent than when I drove it. They all whine, and have that lovely geary sound when you lift but what's more to the point is, to be honest, they're a bit of a blancmange to drive and whilst the drum brakes are very good for their era you'll be making clench marks in the seat covers if you find yourself leaning on them. What an old Classic Aston does best, is "spirited wafting" with a bit of A road fun thrown in here and there. Lovely smooth old tubs to drive, bags of character and charm in spadefuls but driving one as hard as Jeremy did here really took some doing and isn't their forté without serious sorting.

@daniesalex7073 Год назад

@cbiltcliffe Год назад

When you're doing 90MPH on a banked oval, the forces involved would be pulling oil and fuel outwards like the rest of the car, into the "bottom" of the oil pan and fuel tank. The car would think that's the direction gravity is pulling everything, so no starvation problems. Having said that, it's not impossible that the race prepped Aston has been converted to a dry sump oiling system, so the entire discussion may be moot.

@restojon1 Год назад

That took some real driving there, I've driven that Aston and many others of the same era and they're a great big blancmange. The drum brakes are enough to turn your upholstery a funny colour too, if you lean on them too much your seat will end up looking like the exit of Clearways, that said I'm pretty sure that this one's been through the Aston Martin Heritage workshop which may explain the slightly louder than usual gear whine and very standard looking suspension setup.

@JETZcorp 8 месяцев назад

"If you go off the edge... it's oblivion." I tell that line to myself when I'm driving in certain canyon roads. One I'm thinking of in particular is 1 lane, 2-way, very bumpy, and no guard rail before a massive sheer drop. It's a really fun road, but nooooo thankyou!

Hammond's car (Jaguar XKSS) was literally a "continuation" series of an older car. Built exactly like the originals, with the same materials and outdated processes. Jeremy's car was too, but it was made with newer safety standards. The Hamster made a wise choice, he already knew what it feels to cheat death.
