well i bet you're all thinking WOW HES LYING for starters. no im not, but i admit the title is a bit decieving... :D :p

well, some friends ive met on here ive already told this story (i cant get over it, i just wanna do it again.. i really highly doubt i will ever though :(), but i drove a DB9 on the dynomometers under my dads supervision at the Jaguar factory, in Whitley, Coventry while i was on work experience there.

when my dad asked me if i wanted to drive the DB9, i was like uhh are you serious.... he said yeah and that its ok, and that the DB9 isnt needed for any tests, or that the room the DB9 was set up on the dyno's in wasnt needed, so it'd be ok for me just to drive it, as we were on our break.

as soon as i walked up the car, i was actually shaking with excitement... my gave me the go ahead to turn the key, and then told me to press the pure crystal starter button, and listen to the sudden V12 roar that the DB9 makes on start up... and oh my life, is it amazing...

then, my dad told to select 'Drive' (by pressing the D button on the dashboard). when i pressed it, the DB9 changed from neutral to first gear (displayed near the speedometer). and this is when i knew the fun starts...

next, my dad gave me the go ahead to accelerate nice and calmy, because this car is a beast, and full throttle would be too much for me, and possibly the dyno, to handle. and i literally mustve pushed the throttle down by, what, 5mm? and all i heard was the amazing V12 roar rising revs and the car jolted forward... and when i came to about 5000 revs, i tapped the paddleshift, changed into second gear, increased the throttle to about 1/4 of the way down and was now doing about 40mph, and i kept the throttle constant untill 6th gear, and wow, did i accelerate fast... every time i got near 80mph, i lightly braked and slowed down to about 10-20mph in first gear again, just so i could do it again.. its was so exhilarating, and the sound of the engine is the best ive heard until this day. the engine is so powerful, torquey and responsive... with the throttle only pushed about a quarter of the way down, i still did 0-60 in like 10 seconds... i so wish i was legally allowed to drive it n the road lol, then id have a hard c*ck all of my life... and btw, the fastest speed i recorded my self doing (not going anywhere, but its how fast i wouldve been going on the road..) was 87mph.

i also drove an XK (the new one we know today, it was in its final stages then) and the Freelander 2.5 V6. i done a test run with the XK (if anyone knows how emissions tests are done..?) because my dad is experienced at his technician/mechanic job, he didnt need the test run; hes done the same virtual course many times...

so yeah, thats my story. and also, after the tests my dad took me out on the road in the DB9 and opened up the valves. all i can summarise of the speed, luxuriousness, great looks, incredible engine sound of this car is: WOW.

thanks for reading :)

and btw, thats why from 2003 until this day, the DB9 has been my favourite car; before that it was the XJ220.

Whoa, jesus dude, you're lucky! The best work experience I was offered was a butcher's assistant, but I cancelled it because it would be too boring and totally not-me.


I'm so happy I didn't buy a lap in a Ford GT, a DB9, a Cobra or a Ferrari F430 when I had the opportunity. It would have been the sausage of death if it left me with a hard c*ck the rest of my life. Thanks for the warning. lol

Wow, the closest time I've ever come to driving a car like that was......never lukcy ba$stard!!! lol jp

Wow, the closest time I've ever come to driving a car like that was......never lukcy ba$stard!!! lol jp

lol the job suited me perfectly, and oh my life was it fun

u brake in a dynamometer? lol that's new for me. i never seen a person doing so. Wouldn't that damage the roller mechanism or something?

u brake in a dynamometer? lol that's new for me. i never seen a person doing so.

well how do you suppose i slowed the car down..? whats your point..? i think u arr tryin to imply i didnt even do this, but thimk what you wanna, i dont really care, i know i aint sad enough to lie about something like this..:confused:

releasing the gas lol

Releasing the gas as in farting with sheer amount of bass?

Nice avatar by the way. The frontal area of that thing must be tiny!

lol jajaja

The car is a Lola b2k/10. is my secon best open Proto next to the 333SP. And the sound mabe by its Judd engine lol is heavenly....

well, some friends ive met on here ive already told this story (i cant get over it, i just wanna do it again.. i really highly doubt i will ever though ), but i drove a DB9 on the dynomometers under my dads supervision at the Jaguar factory, in Whitley, Coventry while i was on work experience there.


What where you doing with an ASTON MARTIN DB9 on the Jaguar factory?
And correct me if i am wrong but you do not use the brakes on a dyno.
And what where the dyno results?
I am not saying that you are lying or something, i am just curious....

I am not saying that you are lying or something, i am just curious....

for one, Ford uses the Whitley factory for Land Rover, Aston Martin and Jaguar testing
for two, yes you do, but my dad told me to brake very lightly (or else they can lock up and cause the tyres some bad damage, i guess...)
for three, there was no results; the dyno's are simply used as a rolling road for emissions tests...

why is everyone trying to be smart? always a few who try and be a bit of a ... u know what i mean

I wasn't trying to be an ass, is just that 90% people says to have driven a ultraexotic car, we get a little suspicious, but i do not mean any offense to you...
And as i sayed before, i was curious, about the Jaguar dealership (i didn't remember that Ford owns all those brands), and about the dyno, because i have dynoed my bike twice, and i have never touched the brakes.
That's all.

i have dynoed my car also and i didnt touched the brakes either. it slow down by itself and when running just by releasing the gas

i went for a few hotlaps at calder park in a nascar...

You are so lucky!!! I wish i could do that too. Even finding a DB9 is hard enough in Thailand. Aston Martin is my favourite car too.

if i remember right you said you had a k800i, they have a camera, where is the excuse?

i see a db9, 612 ferrari and several tvr's on a daily basis, a ford gt replica a 355 a testarossa a maserati grandsport a sl55 amg and a few others every now n then

Yea, uuummm, well today...I, a,drove a ummm spaceship on a dyno....yea you know... the big white one with the fuel and ummm astronauts, and the jets...yea those ones....

There were no results because uummmm it was just to see what it would look like if it were going to space so ummm they put me behind the wheel and I, um, pressed the gas and started shifting and all...you know the deal, 42 speed transmission....ROFLMAOISM1!

I still believe him though. Ask yourself one question; why would he make this up? He's been typing 600 words. Nobody would type 600 words about something that isn't even true!

because he wants us to think he is cool, didnt work

he is probably lying, he is just a kid, thats what stoopid kids do

hahaha OMG how many times have i said: dont believe me if you dont wanna, i dont care! i know i did, i know im not lying, couldnt care less what you think... thanks.
if i remember right you said you had a k800i, they have a camera, where is the excuse?

for one, do you really think i had a 3.2 megapixel camera phone back in 2003? nope... i didnt even have a camera phone then.
and for two, no photography or video recording is permitted inside the Jaguar factory... its all secret and id be able to be prosecuted if i did take photos or videos.

Who the bloody well cares if he's lying or not? I don't think it's your god given duty to bring down and deny any interesting stories that people experience in their lives.

But that's pretty awesome though, I wanna drive a car that doesn't sound like a truck or a vacuum cleaner some day, stuff minimal in-cabin noise I say!

At the end of the day....if your lying then well...whatever..it's kinda sad...if you not then good for you :) lol

thanks man, at least one of the few who skyline hasnt made think im lying lol...

OMG for the, what, 800th time? IM NOT LYING omfg, dont beleive me if you dont wanna!

hehe its funny seeing you getting wound up, its hilarious,
sure my dad, who does these on a daily basis at work, knows a lot more than all you

lol thats even funnier, so your dad tests emissions, that does not mean he knows a damn thing about cars, hell a monkey could do that with 30min training, im sure plenty of members here could run rings around your dad with a wrench.

OMG for the, what, 800th time? IM NOT LYING omfg, dont beleive me if you dont wanna!

I never said you were lying, I was just giving an ultimatim...trying to stop the arguements really.....!

is monkeyfkkr 20? heretic? sol? exactly, there are some very intelligent people on this site you are just obviously too blind to see that, its a shame we have people like you on here.

is monkeyfkkr 20? heretic? sol? exactly, there are some very intelligent people on this site you are just obviously too blind to see that, its a shame we have people like you on here.

lol im not on about them, i was more on about u and ur little friends... but yeah my dad whos an experienced technician/mechanic most probably does know more than those...

Frewin you're really getting on my nerves, all you do is ''omfg when was de last yym i insulted someboi it was never omg omg rofly lmao'' and it's getting really tiring.

I could point out a million and one times where you have insulted people but you're not worth it.

Frewin, how is anyone meant to take what you say seriously with your posts? I mean, come on. 'OMFG', 'hahahaha', and 'LMFAO' everytime someone thinks your a liar. Don't ever use them again because it doesn't make you cool, complete opposite infact. Have you ever thought of attempting the high road and saying, 'You don't have to believe me, it's up to you', instead of typing all that shít that makes you look like a idiot. For 16, your not mature at all and by the looks of things already, you appear to have made a few enemies (enemies may be a bit strong) and your going the wrong way about changing their minds.

More words of advice, grow up and soon. That's two pieces of advice I've given you, I'm charging you next time.

u brake in a dynamometer? lol that's new for me. i never seen a person doing so. Wouldn't that damage the roller mechanism or something?

The claim was more that a little outrageous. There used to be a thread on here with a vid of a tt vette with over 1,000hp on the dyno, and it held just fine. I can also tell , from personal experience, that it takes a LOT more torque that an Aston has to break this kind of machinery. I have most likely run more vehicles on dynos than any two or three people on here, and have to question the whole story just based on the liability issues, and insurance regulations

have to question the whole story just based on the liability issues, and insurance regulations

theres nothing at all that could've went wrong, unless i undone the straps holding the car in place while the car was moving or slammed on the brakes, or tried to do the top speed of 186mph... lol.

i dont know if i was allowed to do it or not under my insurance, but since no-one there are the kind of people who would tell if i wasnt allowed, and since my dad is the team leader of the department, (he holds responsibility over his area...) i done it with the DB9, XK and Freelander, unquestioned and unharmed; even my dads boss gave it the go-ahead. it was a simple dyno test, nothing serious, complicated or dangerous... anyways im going bed now, cyas all later...

I will say 3 things about this thread/story. Frewin I say this all with an open mind, I am not saying you are lying and I am not saying you are telling the truth.


1. I find it hard to beleive they would allow anyone under 18 handle a company test car. Pretty sure Aston doesn't let young ones touch 6 figure cars.

2. I haven't heard of braking on dynos.

3. I want you to prove to me and all of us you have this type of access to such known companies. Pics with a piece of paper that says your name online and the name of SCF.(only way to fully prove it)

If as you say you cannot take pics inside than take a pic outside with you in a separate Aston outside the factory.

Congrats on your experience and hopefully it is true.

-it wasnt aston that let me, it was my dad

-so what, my dad said to brake lightly, i did... im sure he knows a hell of a lot more than you matey

-lol, did you read the story at all...? pics with a piece of paper showing i have access...? i dont have access, I WAS ON WORK EXPERIENCE AT JAGUAR for two weeks like ive already said...

-a seperate aston outside the factory lol? how do you suppose ill do that...?

-thanks, and yes it is true, whats your point about trhis anyway...?

His post sounds like a brochure written by an illiterate fanboy.

nah, im not illiterate, i just dont feel the need to type perfectly on a forum i use to enjoy my time on the internet; perfect spelling, punctuation etc is for homework only, i see no need to speak like it when it doesnt matter. also, thanks, yeah call me a 'fanboy', cause yeah i do love Aston Martins, which is why my dad let me drive it in the first place

Wow way to jump on me, I wasn't even accusing you of anything. You need to set your priorities straight and stop making enemies. Keep this up and you will get booted I'm afraid.

I never said your dad did not know more than me, I said I HAVEN"T HEARD OF BRAKING ON DYNO.

If you can read my post I put "if you don't have access to camera inside...", I read your story.

I am sure they have more than 1 Aston martin at the factory if they are testing. What if one breaks, or if they need to compare. A pic outside the facility would say a lot as well.

In my eyes you are officially a moron who does not listen to what people try to say. I wasn't proving a point I said some things but wasn't trying to prove you right or wrong just giving you ways to prove yourself, and I stated what I thought.

Apparently you are so sly that you think you can say that your dad defied Aston and all of its employees to let you dyno an uberexpensive car.

I am pretty sure all of your dad's "friends" would have brought their kids as wll to dyno the car.

i went for a few hotlaps at calder park in a nascar...

Calder park has right hand turns....:D

Being a (literate) fanboy of Aston Martin myself, I feel inclined to call you a liar anyway.

Liar.

He has already proven himself to be one. First of all the insurance that I refered to is the liability coverage for the shop. A shop is not allowed to allow anyone but employees access to such machinery. Something like this would void the shops policy, and I truly doubt that any such shop, testing the type of vehicles frewin was bragging about would allow this for the humor of a teenage kid. Secondly, the dyno IS a brake. It's job is to provide resistance. The power exerted on the wheel is metered against said resistance. No breaking would be necessary, and the momentum of the drum would cause undue strain on the straps if brakes were applied at the speed he is talking about. to stop you simply stop accelerating
The story reeks of BS

Before you even start to say that I do not know what I am talking about frewin, take into consideration that I used to work in a shop with a dyno, and I regurlarly compete in dyno shootouts at motorcycle ralleys

OMG this thread is so cool.

So, you drove a DB9? Thats sounds cool. Once I drove an M3 GTR and I got a 1:24.358 on the Nurburgring.

^^Skyline that's so true, work experience in the UK is 15, that's like me saying ''Hey mum, off to drive a DB9 for the day, see you later!''

Frewin, frewin, frewin, you do make me laugh.

A 13 year old kid, in a £106,000 car, braking on a dyno? I don't think so, mate.

Every single post in the last page except frewin's was damn true.

Oh and freewilly (as I shall now call you) I like the way you just jumped on clutch when he did nothing wrong, except give you some simple questions to answer. Nice one. People actually like clutch.

This is just BS. Willy, you better just lip it, or maybe not, because things cannot possibly get any worse as they are now. The damage has been done. There's no repairing....

Oh, so you were 14. If I remember correctly, you got a B in Maths GCSE. That's good enough to realise that 14 is less than 15.

i dont get your point here...?

His point was that you have to be 15 and you were 14. If I remember correctly people mentioned the fact that you would have been 13 several times and you only mentioned that you made a mistake on the last page.

His point was that you have to be 15 and you were 14. If I remember correctly people mentioned the fact that you would have been 13 several times and you only mentioned that you made a mistake on the last page.

no, you can be either 14 or 15 in year 10 (the year we do work experience), and no, no-one mentioned the age i was or anything before now, its only just been mentioned...

Let the kid alone.
It is unnnecesary to keep the flaming on him forever.
Probably his father do work for Aston Martin,
probably he actually sat in one, once or twice.
We can't prove the other way.
But kid, i have done my homework, and ad Heretic says, the Dyno itself IT'S A BRAKE, it doesn't matter if you use it for power teesting, acceleration testing or emissions testing, THIS IS THE VERY FIRST DOCUMENTED BRAKING ON A DYNO EVENT EVER!
I am sorry, and i still not saying you are lying, but if someone tells me that Air France has a 747 that can fly in reverse, i need to see it to believe on it. Not because it's not possible, but because i haven't heard, seen or read about it. even if a look for it.

Frewin, surely you expected some people not to believe you? If you don't want people to discuss it then why post it on a public forum. IF it is true, why can't you answer people's questions without biting their heads off? You would think that if it were true then you could be smug about things but your being defensive, which indicates that your a liar.

It's a shame because I like you. I think your funny and intelligent and you come up with the best threads. Your a truly magnificent huma being and your an inspiration to us all.

The difference between me and you? I can admit to when I'm bullshítting, i.e., my paragraph above.

Ciao.

thanks, this is what you call a post i agree with... hes not saying hes disagreeing OR agreeing, just saying theres no solid proof on either side.

and btw my dad works for Jaguar, not Aston, mate, but Astons and Land Rovers are tested at Whitley, too.

i know, it cant be proved one way or another, but to the one person it counts to (me) its as proven as it could be, cause i was the one who did it...

but how many times have i said, my dad said to brake lightly to slow it down... :|. and, actually, as proven, the dyno's i were on are different dynos to the ones that test for power and torque... these are simply a rolling road, used to perform emissions tests, there are no readings or anything on the dyno itself, only for the cars exhaust emissions... and, actually, come to think of it, my dad and his team mates are the people who produce the official fuel economy/emissions figures for Jaguar, Aston Martin and Land Rover... hey id never thought of it that way before :D

lol this is funny watching people say im lying, cause im sitting here at my desk laughing at you... you really think you've got all this solid evidence dont you, when i really am not even lying loool... funny stuff

and i havent 'bit' anyones head off at all? the only person ive argued with is skyline, simply because of his first post in this thread. go ahead, read it, was that called for? nope, didnt think so...
And you do have a lot of solid evidence:confused: Because if you did you should post it and it would save a lot a hassle.

lol oh here you go again, why cant you just leave it man...? no matter what you always gotta have a comment... why...?!

as ive just said, i got it wrong, it was in 2004... try and remember the year it was when you were 14...? not easy off the top of your head without properly working it out, is it...

So you have to sit down and think to figure out what age you were at a certain year? Sheesh....

@Chookes you really scared me with your second paragraph in your post. At the end I realised it was pretty damn clever. Claps for you. :D

And you do have a lot of solid evidence:confused: Because if you did you should post it and it would save a lot a hassle.

i never said i did...? actually, i have my own solid evidence yes, but unless i can somehow transfer my memories to my computer through a USB cable, then i dont know how i can prove it.. sorry.. :-k

So you have to sit down and think to figure out what age you were at a certain year? Sheesh....

@Chookes you really scared me with your second paragraph in your post. At the end I realised it was pretty damn clever. Claps for you.

well yeah, when you have a late birthday like me (21st July) its not as simple as it is when you have a birtday in the middle of the year, as you can be almost year behind some people and it does get confusing, yes...

Nice one Benny. And no memories are not solid evidence. Even more fluid like when they are posted over the internet by someone who can't figure out what year it is.

That's easy. Stick your head into the RAM compartment and use your Dad's flux capacitor and bingo, you have your memories in the 'My Documents' folder.

-lol, for one, thers no such thing as a 'RAM compartment'... and it also proves you dont know what RAM is, because that has nothing to do with data storage :D dont try and get clever please son... no need for it ;)
-for two, whats a 'Dad's flux capacitor'? :confused:
-and for three, my memories wouldnt be in useable form on my hard drive if i did that... theyd still be in my head?

p.s: was that meant to be funny? :| cause it wasnt really..

Nice one Benny. And no memories are not solid evidence. Even more fluid like when they are posted over the internet by someone who can't figure out what year it is.

lol ive explained that above... and i dont care if they are not solid evidence, as ive said now uncountable times; think what you wanna, stop posting this and PLEASE admin close this thread its just getting annoyin all these people like.. ganging up on me. btw why do you all juts keep on posting..? why do you all care so much lol, if you think im a lier, keep it to yourself like i do...

lol this is funny watching people say im lying, cause im sitting here at my desk laughing at you... you really think you've got all this solid evidence dont you, when i really am not even lying loool... funny stuff

and i havent 'bit' anyones head off at all? the only person ive argued with is skyline, simply because of his first post in this thread. go ahead, read it, was that called for? nope, didnt think so...

i can admit when im lying too, its really a shame im not you know :-k

My friend, we don't need to show evidence, you do. You would think that even the smallest and most deluded minds would realise that. Obviously not. No one here believes you and until you provide evidence, you will be the laughing stock here. The laughing stock laughing at me? Should I take offence? How about no. You see, if someone that I had respect for laughed at me, I would take some offence. I could insult you a lot more but I would get banned no doubt, and your not worth it.

Even if you somehow manage to FINALLY get your story straightened out and you provide evidence, your still a moron.

Oh and Frewin, you want to talk about RAM? It's Random Access Memory and what else is apart from storing data?

lol this is hilarious, freewin you have messed up, think about it, you said you were 14, which was 2 years ago as you are now 16 and you said it was 2004, now in 2004 after july 21st when you were 14 guess what, summer hols, unless i am mistaken if you were 13 during school year 04 that would make you year 9, so if work exp is done in yr 10, must have been 2005. which means you are still in school or have a very twisted story and it really was 2003

He drove a DB9 on a dyno, and you guys jump all over him?

Who cares whether he did or didn't. There is no need to start flaming him like this. Its not like he claimed he even drove it around the test course or something. He sat in the car, pressed the gas, shifted, and braked, all in a stationary spot.

There is nothing so super-exotic-unreal-omfg- he-is-a-liar-omfg about this story.

So knock it off.

^^Thank you...goodness

This type of flaming just pisses me off. There was no educational argument. Even if namecalling and slurs were used, there was no INTELLECT behind it anywhere.

I don't particularly care "who started it". The simple fact is quite a few of you need to stop the random flaming. I've been here a while and let me tell you something. Not that his story is outrageous at all, but even if he was to lie. WHO CARES? Although his detail about the controls was quite convincing.

There are also those of you that proceed to tell other members what to do. If you are going to give advice or direction on this forum, do so with posting and backing up of forum rules. If you are not a moderator or administrator, then you have absolutely NO place attempting to tell people what to do. PERIOD.

I'm closing this thread now, but I swear to God if I see this type of blatant uneducational, unintellectual, badgering of members, I will submit a request myself to Ghalos or Rollin to have the offenders removed. Now, I appreciate a good heated battle, and am not opposed to other people rattling each others cages, but blatant badgering is senseless. Show some maturity. Especially when you argue.

Got it?

GOOD:mad:
