Outback Aston Martin DBS road test trip

1 Jun, 2008 7 Comments

The car advice team has returned home from a successful trip to the brink of the Simpson Desert with two Aston Martins. While our video team edits the footage for what should be one of our best video reviews yet, we thought we’d share some more photos:

(Getting ready for our drag race).

Matt building a road for the DBS to climb – we find this photo a little suspicious!

DBS drives past at speed

Anthony can’t stop waving his hands…

We stop briefly to take some photos with the locals.

What a road! This is why we travelled over 2,000kms!

Matt’s dirt road pays off as we drive the Aston up high for some photos.

The scenery says it all (spot the Vantage!)

Driving hard into a corner… the noise.. oh the noise…

Anthony and Matt wondering if Alborz plans to come back with the DBS

After our two day stay, the car’s are back on the truck and we head to Mt Isa.

Our video should be ready in a few weeks, but the written review will be online within the next week.

Casey those photos were taken at the Cawnpore Hills between Boulia and Winton in Western Queensland. I passed through that area a couple of years ago on my return trip from Darwin.

When all you young people become grey nomads, and I hope you live long enough to become one put this place on your list of places to see.

For car Advice; the grey nomads must have freaked out when they saw an Aston out there.

Whilst walking to work the other morning what should come past me in the darkness of the early morning but not one but two Astins on the back of trucks…I had to rub my eyes a couple of times as I thought maybe I was still asleep and dreaming.

Then I stumbled on here and there is the story. Great pics and it really is a beautiful part of the world…especially early morning. Great story and you sure are lucky.
