Monaco GP, FastX, Drift Build Update and why do Astons make you feel so good?
Explicit content warning
06/05/23 • 56 min
This week an unplanned podcast sees up meandering around the Monaco Grand Prix, the new Fast and Furious movie and a brief update on Ben's Lexus GS430 drift project before settling into a rather philosophical conversation pondering why Aston Martins have such an affect on you when driving them. We've been lucky enough to have access to a 2005 V8 Vantage Manual for the last week or so and we're both just head over heels in love with it even though on paper it doesn't seem like anything special. Why is that?
