Tiff Needell drives the Aston Martin DBS

[jnj2595]

im not gay

[MrBigolnuts]

looks like a wild slut in a channel dress.

[lapoosh]

How does he drive like that in a suit? Legend

[octoberman99]

the DB7 is the ugliest car aston has ever made

[Corbon440]

@octoberman99

Personally, I would give this honor to the old Aston Martin Lagonda. The DB7 actually looks pretty good.

[octoberman99]

@Corbon440 I meant to say one of the

[xpres62]

@Nevzatify Have you got any idea what the music is when he puts the key into the ignition? About 3:10

Any help please.

[kuruptzZz]

[xpres62]

@kuruptzZz Do you know what the music is when he plugs that fucker in?

[arospeed169]

still miss the vanquish

[mizrah159]

Top Gear is just a comedy show these days... only 1 good thing about it. that is the Top Gear specials where they do those big challenges, the rest is just a blend of the three trying to do an awkwardly fake comedy act with a dash of Homo puns... Fith gear just needs a better production team and better camera crew thats where top gear out do em! Oh and Tiff was a pro racer so he knows what hes on about unlike the three idiots of TG, however James may is good at presenting, esp his Toy stories!

[Neutrinoghost]

Tiff should go back on Top Gear, he's wasted on C 5!

[rash0710911]

what is the song that starts at 3:11?? anyone can tell me??

[xpres62]

@rash0710911 Did you ever find this music out? Please help it's not on the FinalGear forum either.

[crumbmc]

this is a very nice looking car. great noise too. i had the pleasure of seeing one at a supercar parade once and, along with a masserati Quatraporte, it had the nicest engine note. i have not had the pleasure of driving one, but i have seen this, the top gear, and the review from clarksns "thriller" dvd. all claim it is one of tiff / clarksons favourite cars of present.

Why u guys all flame tiff? he performs briliant car tests. i do also like clarkson as he delivers a more entertaining approach

[epluribusunum0]

@crumbc

I agree. I mean, you really need both guys. You need Tiff for someone who can drive anything around a bend to give you the low down on a car's real performance, but Clarckson REALLY DOES give a better enthusiast but not professional level opinion. A bit more average guy, however unaveragely rich he is. Tiff misses parts that'd matter to the average guy, and Clarckson misses on the thigns that matter to people who know how to take a machine properly around a track.

[MyTompom]

top gear is soo much better than this shit programe

[hovy82]

i agree but its ok man, nice to see more vids of great cars ;)

[careyACgirling]

they would both better if the presenters spent more time testing all types of cars instead of dicking about

[LostChildOfTime]

One of the most beautiful sounding cars ever.

[kanjoo1415]

This is fantastic!

[themotocrossman83]

sure he would.....

[fontheking5]

Looks wonderful  Just love this car

[fontheking5]

Awesome car , lets all hope Za"hate"to won`t destroy it whit their ugly styling later .

[WST01]

Song at 3:11?? Anyone have an idea??

[theodorbrinch]

sounds like the band Vitalic, its just a guess tho

[rogerglasgow]

tiff is a knob

take him outa the set-up then u have a very decent presentin team - plato is top notch,vicki is incredible for a number of reasons.....

but tiff just totaly lowers the standard

[CrapDot45]

Too bad you're a faggot Rogerglasgow

[deepWestSide]

the engine sounds like thunder haha

[mondeost2202008]

Emotional Control Unit -____________-!

[tokeby]

hey boot are good. top gear ist better, butt can still wait to see new epis. of 5th gear.

[OnLyBuLL3Tz]

he shoulda stayed in top gear because fifth gear sucks

top gear will always be better

[riptor3086]

Thumbs down for your fat ass.

[variablefighterportu]

the name of the song at 3:11 please?

[IntersportRules]

dunno

[xpres62]

@variablefighterportu Did you find the song? It's not on the Final Gear forum do please help.

[variablefighterportu]

@xpres62 i can´t find the song can you hlep me?

[xpres62]

@variablefighterportu

No I am in the same boat. That is both fucked and ignorant.

[defears3]

Tiff always makes me laugh. Only problem is the part where he says he wants a manual gear box and what not is the people who can afford these cars can't drive them fast. That's why makers like Ferrari have to dumb down their cars to make it safer to drive faster.

[ijoostin]

That's why I don't like newer Ferrari's...

They ALL have flappy panels and I HATE them.

[spiller212]

i think you mean flappy paddles ;)

yeah, youre right....recently i heard that the ferrari california will be the LAST ferrari ever offered with a manual gearbox. i think they are giving up a part of their tradition... anyway, the automated gearboxes (double clutch, sequential) take away a big part of the driving sensation.... but thats what ferrari buyers want....a pitty nonetheless

[ijoostin]

Yep, flappy paddles would be the one =]

Yeah, it's ridiculous...it's like the people are spending too much time earning the money to buy the cars...rather than learning to juggle the clutch and stick...

Which is stupid; because if any of us try to drive one, we'll hate that all we have to do is click something to shift...

They should at least have the option like Aston :P

Even with the Vanquish...even though it was an extra $13,000 to convert the gearbox and everything...

[jrs89]

I think also for the sake of these cars being GT oriented cars or at least delivering the comfort of a GT, having an automatic option can be quite nice. As much as a I love the stick, if I lived in a more dense urban area and I wanted to take my weekend driver out for a spin, it's not going to be fun getting the car from the city and to the country. I can see why a Scuderia (strictly performance) would use the flaps, but an F430 should have a stick. A 612 is a GT, flaps aren't unreasonable.

[jrs89]

Another issue could be depreciation. I know it sounds silly, but if a high end car like an aston spends most of its time in the garage and only on country roads, you'll get better resale offers than the aston the playboy drove to work, dinner, and the club through a traffic jam. It's not hard to come across a 911 that was driven like a taxi. It's annoying when guys try to sell w/ an tranny/clutch unnecessarily worn down while talking up the cars performance.

[Gr33nMamba]

I find they are two very different motoring journalists, not nessecarily better.

Tiff is a very precise driver, he's interested in getting the most out of it, really driving it.

Jeremy is more of an overall opinion, he can't drive that quickly and that precisely, its more than just the car, its what your buying, he has a passion for proper engineering, not electronics for teh sake of it.  It's why his opinion is so influencial.

[dibzy27]

Tiff Rocks, Clarkson is the biggest WANKER if have ever seen open his mouth.

[9thprotocol]

only wankers like Clarkson like Top Gear

[dowling1981]

What about Max Branning?

[S7UNT]

Stunning car but Tiff sucks ass

[Ellmarko]

He's a far better driver than Clarkson

[S7UNT]

Yes no one's denying that but he's still a cock

[f15mos]

@Ellmarko Of course, Tiff was a pro race car driver whereas Clarkson is playboy turned TV presenter.

[jeembomb]

@Ellmarko of course he is, tiff was a legitimate racing driver. clarkson is perhaps a better television personality

[HateWhatISee]

@Ellmarko He's a professional racing driver (atleast retired) while Clarkson is not. Clarkson only has an idea on how to do it and does it, which is why he is at some point a good driver

[420Vali]

@HateWhatISee Agreed, I don't think Clarkson would ever claim to be anything close to a racing driver though.

[HateWhatISee]

@420Vali Yeah, but weirdly, he is a better driver than Vicki Butler-Henderson. Thats the degree of how good he is. Just saying.

[zrouth]

@Ellmarko Yea he's a former racecar driver, clarkson is just a funny british wanker

[Teaser318]

@Ellmarko They are different, neither is better IMO.

[RunescapeVeteran]

@Ellmarko He's a better driver yes, but not such an entertainer as Jeremy Clarkson is.

[MrDefq]

@Ellmarko He is a former formula 1 driver. He is also a better presenter. He is so passionate.

[Meatlooaf]

@Ellmarko Clarkson is not a bad driver, but Clarkson is funny and a good reviewer

[23GoldCarra]

DBS...probably the most beautiful car ever..deffo my all time fave. I didnt think Aston would top the DB9 but man i was wrong.

[SethicusMaximus]

@musu7 - Tiff was NEVER a Formula One driver!

He drove Thundersports (old sportscars) and got as far as Le Mans with Aston Martin and the late Richard Lloyd at Le Mans but that was it... I have a great video with him interviewed after hitting the Mulsanne crash barrier at Le Mans in 1982 driving the Aston Martin Nimrod Group C car... he was funnier then than Clarkson is now! "I've often wondered what happens if you turn left at 200 miles per hour!"

Class! He's a legend!

[tipperscum]

sethiusmaximus - tiff was an f1 driver. first race was the belgian gp at zolder where he failed to finish due to an engine failure and then at monaco where unfortunatly he failed to qualify. those were his only gp`s but an f1 driver non the less

[PUREAAMERICAN]

Actually Tiff Needell was a Formula 1 Driver, 1980 Belgian and Monaco GP, half of his races resulted in a podium. And guess what, he is the STIG.

[epicvelocity]

Lol, no, the Stig is Ben Collins. It's was revealed a long time ago.

[epicvelocity]

*It was

[DragonDudeMarril]

Very nice car for its price.

[nigelhalfwitt]

That thing's an animal!

[ryanthemayan]

Fifth Gear eats Top Gears ass. These guys are shit.

[dhoytw]

The induction unit on that car is awesome.

[musu7]

top gear might be funnier and nicer to watch but the driving skills of tiff can not be compered to clarksons. Tiff Needle used to be a f1 driver, on the other hand Clarkson before top gear was a comedian.... make your own conclusions

[aberk10]

If you want to know how you would feel driving a car, watch Top Gear. If you want to know what race drivers think about a car, check out Fifth Gear. Simple.

[dhoytw]

Why is that simple?

[johnbum86]

Whats the name of the song that starts at 3:11 and plays through 4:10? Thanks!

[boyleb1]

If they could only work Tiff into top gear somehow.

[elvistwatty]

tiff was on top gear

[boyleb1]

i mean the new top gear

[ZeekyBoogyDoog]

No, Top Gear doesn't need another guy.

The trio on Top Gear blend perfectly well

[cattleman6420012000]

Tiff Needell is a darned good driver. He is also extremely knowledgeable.I also have great respect towards Topgear. I like both shows a lot!!

[boyleb1]

well he is a qualified engineer, plus an extremely experienced racer. it does show

[cattleman6420012000]

Tiff Needell is fantastic. I have so much respect towards his ability.

[lilddork]

i really do believe that fifth gear is rubbish.

if you want a real high octane car show, top gear is much much better.

also, they are more aesthetically pleasing.

[paw3l8686]

top gear is much better

[hms888]

1. Shut up

2. Type "Top Gear"

3. Watch it

[Blapzin]

Lol here here!

[cheguevarra]

well u can afford to have ur manual tc because ur a race car driver but for us mere mortals we cant drive a racecar with out those aids

[darqikno]

i love this car, awesome is an understatement!

[CYB117]

i would rather have a nissan cause i heard that the clutches are terrible in astons

[lostaznking]

LMAO when your can afford $200,000 i don't think it matters because you can have both

[cheapracer]

Oh so your a bit dissapointed by the top speed? Your a wanker. On a public road over a real 100mph is starting to get very fast on public roads and little time to combat others stupid and unexpected moves. Very few people here have been at 100mph in a car let alone faster. 191mph a bit dissapointing? - what a wanker.

[lostaznking]

lol ive been 130 in a Mercedes slk on an American highway... scariest thing in the world, great fun but scary

[cheapracer]

Previously i was a bike mechanic and testing up the freeway going through the gears could touch up to 150 to 170 mph just for a few moments then back off. Once you get past about 120mph, the road starts to get really thin and you sit in the middle of the 2 or 3 lanes and if theres any cars ahead you just back off - you dont have time to react to their lane changes etc, even on a bike with much shorter brake distances. 130 is fast as you now know, especially if it's sustained for a bit.

[kanov]

Yeah, but the point is too see what it can really do, even though we never tried it to that limit. A supercar's holy grail is 200mph (or a bit less at 320kph). So just failing to reach that was a dissapointment. But give me one of those DBS and it won't dissapoint, for sure! Because not everything is about speed.

[cheapracer]

Holy Grail is 200mph? I've been around cars for a long time and I don't ever remember this figure being the yardstick for a supercar. The term supercar itself seems to be a very much a title appointed by journo's.

[generalsir]

so too is the "Holy Grail 200mph" speed limit.

[cheapracer]

A car is not rated as a Supercar just because it can reach 200mph, thankfully. Now I'm starting to wander how old some of you are and if you even have licences.

[PTuma89]

awesome car. i love that crazy key. and anti-clockwise tachometer

[sno9r]

one of THE BEST looking car in the world, period.

I'm just a bit disappointed by the top speed :/

[simonbasil]

whats the fastest you have ever driven

[Aresend]

even IF i got the money for a bugetti veryon, i would still get myself a aston martin

[themorganator]

who cares if the GTR is faster?? If you've got the money for an Aston, you're going to get one.

[davewhodavedunn]

The Nissan GTR is fast 0-60 and cost a ton less...

[gentarion]

but this is maybe the most beautiful & raw car ever made by aston martin!

[LaMdies3L]

also less reliable, a worse in-and-out commuter, and downright uglier (not discounting the GT-R's own unique styling). But like themorganator said, if you've got the means then Aston is the way to go

[bradds056]

but its not an aston its a nissan. ok you down at the pub chatting up girls, what would you rather say you have a nissan or an aston???

[joey19930303]

um... an aston? lol

[bradds056]

lol
