Having rescued Richard Hammond's Aston Martin DB9 from Mauritania, Mike and Maxwell have decided to get it up on a ramp to see just how badly damaged the V12 GT is. The theoretical bill at the end of it is CRAZY.

The fact it survived filming is the biggest hurdle overcome. Same can't be said for poor John. RIP John
-
“power steering’s definitely got better” wheels are off the ground 🤣🤣
-
The guy from McGurks looks so disgusted at the state of the DB9!🤦🏻♂️🤣
-
Adding Maxwell to the team was a great move, him and Mike make such a cute couple 😆
-
Aston owner here. It's an INCREDIBLY durable car. But every time I do need to bring it into the shop for anything, it's $5,000. No matter how small or seemingly minor, by the time they get done with it, it's five grand. The upside, of course, is that it doesn't need anything more than basic fluid service very often. But when it needs anything more than fluids -- five grand.

Nice to see Maxwell has joined the Drivetribe team, he seemed like a fun guy to have around in your previous interactions. It'd be fun to see him doing some more nitty gritty work on the project cars vs. having to always go to a shop for the majority of the work. (Although Sha from Pole Position is a blast to watch)

The company I work for used to share the same business park in Kineton as McGurk. I was chatting to John McGurk about the Jaguar XJ220s they had in there, and how they were my dream cars. He said to let him know when I'm free and he'd take me for a drive. 7 or 8 years later and I still regret not taking him up on that offer - I'll probably never get the opportunity ever again! He had an absolutely beautiful Ferrari F40 too - stunning!

Guys I'm ok with keeping the sand on the body but man that underbody, engine and interior need a serious wash off. And some frame replacing
-
I'm the first to arrive, as you can see I've done this properly.
-
“Still… could be worse”
-
Maxwell seems to be a great addition to the team. Really enjoyed his attitude, experience, humour, interactions, etc. Will he stays now he's learnt about how Drivetribe is really financed though? 😂
-
Keep Maxwell on screen! He's an asset on your team for sure..
-
Just picked up a low miles DB9 and was secretly devastated to see this one get trashed in the last Grand Tour, but hoped that Drivetribe would be bringing her back. Can't wait to see it!
-
That Aston Martin starter motor is the best music instrument ever. ❤
-
17:02 The traditional ritualistic offering of diff oil to the man up hight. Fascinating
-
This was actually a massive treat. Seeing the aftermath of grand tour, seeing the modifications to make a db9 offroad, and watching a master mechanic go through a diagnosis.
-
Just sell it to Matt Armstrong already
-
was not expecting that snowman reference lmao
-
Great video, thank you. Seeing all those Aston’s together was superb.
-
I'm surprised that they didn't power wash the thing before looking over it. You can't see anything with it covered in sand.
