Welcome to Spike's car radio. Here we are. We just did a nice pre-show on Patreon. Another reason to subscribe on Patreon. I just held up my stupid phone and chat with these guys. And it was fun. What's the link? I'll subscribe, Spike. I don't know. Come on here.

What are we on?

What's the link?

Patreon.com slash Spikescar Radio. Oh, okay. It's exactly what you'd think. It's a way to. I know you have a vibrant Patreon community as well. I love our Patreon. It's so fun. And I love ours too. And it's fun. And, you know, we had, you know, it wasn't a lot of folks, but like 27, 30 people came on, spur of the moment.

We had a nice chat with them and they made comments. I enjoyed it. I like it. I'm going to do that a lot. My only fear is the pre-show that Zuckerman does, that I'll have to... Don't give him the password. You have to get the FBI involved. I don't know how you go. Is there a 10 second delay in the Patreon line? I just think. No, no, no, no. Yeah. No, Zuckerman. Anyway, Matt Ferrer's here. We're excited to have you here, Matt. Thanks. Johnny Lieberman's here. He brought a car. Let's just start. I've got so much to ask you about. Sorry, I didn't bring a car. I had advantage S that I gave back this morning. Nice car. What a delight. Yeah. Which one? The new Vantage S. Ashton Martin. Nice. Any, you know, S stands for sorted. Yeah. By the time Aston Martin gets to the S, that's very well said. They've been building the thing for like 12 years. Very well said. And man, you should, you should give them a buzz. So Matt and I went on the launch of the Vantage Roaster. Yeah, we shared a car. And it was, yeah, it was fun. First time in like 100 years. Yeah. But they like, it just was so much better than the coop. And we're like, we're like, what did you change? You know, just lying British, you know. And then finally he's like the transaxal mount. We redid the transaxel mount. And then to drive the vantage S, I had to do like a Zoom call with their engineers. And I, and they mentioned all this stuff. when I said, did the transaxal mount change make it? And they're like, how do you remember that? But yes. It was crucial. Yeah. No, it's really good. The ride is great. That's the transaxle mount. Yeah. No, the ride is beautiful. It's a really, really lovely car. And actually now that like, now that everything else has gotten so insanely expensive. Yeah, yeah. The one I just gave back was like loaded. It was 240, which is a huge amount of money. It's like at Zuckerman's point. It's a huge. It's a huge amount of money. But actually it seems like a pretty good value. Like, yeah, it's not crazy. I've never seen you guys so enthusiastic. I mean, the vanquish was one car, one asked in there. I also just did Valhalla too. But you're saying this guy right here. Yeah, it's lovely. I got a, if you go to driving with Johnny, I got a full review of it up, but it's, yeah, it's killer. Yeah. I all, I did, uh, I didn't get this car.

I don't know.

Did you ask?

No.

I made, I asked. I asked very. I asked, I asked, I asked, I asked repeatedly. You did. Yeah. Yeah. I also got to do Valhalla, though. the car that the that was by here that was up on your side right yeah yeah that's it's

yeah that's it you can throw that up but throw up on your side glorious it's so nice yeah

you can throw that up

but throw up Matt Ferris

and you know

nobody does a press launch

like Aston when they have a race track

there is a level of freedom

right

when Ashton Martin does

that does not exist

at any other OEM

I ran a Valkyry off the track. They didn't know. Yeah. They were watching. They were even paying attention. You want to talk about what's didn't. Here's a little teaser, BTS. People, we never have BTS. If we have good footage, it's in the video. Right, right, right. What would we hold it back for? But now I have a Patreon.

And so Aston, I had free reign to do whatever I wanted with this car, which basically meant drifting it for two hours.
