Having been a Captain at an airline for 30 years, I can assure you that one of the engineers was either a pilot or aircraft engineer. There are many features and names that mimic aircraft switches of the time. The Standby switch is a prime example.
This is the car we all used to draw in grade 3.
Those gauges perfectly explain why the chiron has no screen
I had the honor of seeing one of these up close at a childhood friend's house (a friend of his father owned one) in the '80's. At that time it seemed like the coolest car I have ever seen. Watching this review today, nearly everything about this car's design seems like an afterthought.
12pm : it's late I should go to bed 4:68am : still watching Doug videos
10:43 "Pardon me sir, do you have the time?" "4:68 AM"
i can’t be the only one who thinks that the screens are still sick
I’ve had a really bad week but this video has really made me feel better. It’s well made, informative, interesting and most importantly absolutely hilarious in a very respectful way. Thank you. I’m British and yes, this car is weird.
it looks like a pizza hut logo lmao
"What time is it?" "4:68 pm."
Looks like the car is in italics.
When a Lotus Esprit and a Lincoln Town Car really love each other very much…
I can imagine going into my local AutoZone: "Umm... Do you guys have a bonnet release sensor for a 1987 Aston Martin Lagonda?"

I can only imagine the incredible mess of wires that absolutely must be hiding behind that dashboard. I do recall that this car was a production nightmare for Aston Martin!
Gotta love the thighbuster handbrake when it’s engaged, gives it a more of a personal feel to the driver when they park on a hill
You can just tell that car has probably seen over a ton a cocaine back in its day.
The head rest pillow is a nice feature. On long trips, the driver can sleep while he’s driving.
Doug’s the type of guy to say “let me squeeze right past you”
