A Milestone Moment As The First DBX Drives Off The Production Line
Just over four years since Aston Martin announced our investment in a brand-new manufacturing facility at St Athan, the first Aston Martin to be “Made in Wales” has been driven off the production line.
The culmination of an extensive development programme that began with virtual development stretching back to 2015 and physical testing in Wales in 2018, DBXsignals a new era in Aston Martin’s pursuit to deliver exceptional performance, style and usability in a new segment for us. Bringing both the versatility and indulgence expected of a luxury SUV with sports car levels of dynamic performance, DBX sets a bold new standard in this sector.
Aston Martin dealers are taking pre-bookings for test drives in advance of demonstrators arriving next month.
Rob Fraser – General dogsbody & Director
Rob is the founder of the business. He constantly mutters something about way too many red wines one evening being to blame.
Often known for taking the 4WD in the driveway over the sports car, he has travelled pretty much everywhere in Australia and when he is bored goes for a drive.
He first learned to drive on the farm in a left hand drive WW11 Jeep when he was 11, and was hooked on 4WDriving way back then. In addition to 4WD he is an avid motoring enthusiast and has maintained a strong interest in the industry ever since his teens. He has owned way too many cars in his time as well.
Having previously lived at the top of corporate life he retired in 2000 and hasn’t put a suit and tie on since. Cars are his passion so why not have a business doing what you love he figures.
He has towed either a caravan or camper trailer to most parts of Australia, has run guided tours for camper trailers’ and instructed drivers in off road towing.
Nissan has released an N-TREK version of its ageing but still capable, AWD Pathfinder. The Nissan Pathfinder has had a mixed history, changing from robust 4WD to an urban based AWD over the years. Rob Fraser tells us more. [Read More]
Rob Fraser continues his love affair with fast SUVs, this week driving the Jaguar F-PACE SVR . Jaguar has added the delicious SVR version to its successful F-PACE range. [Read More]
