The AMOC 90th Anniversary Celebration Series
Episode 1
AMOC 90th Anniversary Celebrations: Great Britain to the V8 Hotel/Motorworld
Join me as I begin an unforgettable journey celebrating 90 years of the Aston Martin Owners Club (AMOC) — driving my Aston Martin Vantage from Yorkshire, England to the legendary V8 Hotel and Motorworld in Stuttgart, Germany.
From filling up with super unleaded at dawn, battling torrential rain and heavy European traffic, to a late-evening arrival greeted by Motorworld staff who arranged an epic parking space for my Vantage — this chapter captures the spirit of adventure, endurance, and Aston Martin passion.
Take a peek inside the V8 Hotel, see Motorworld illuminated at night, and follow the journey mile by mile as fuel costs and determination stack up.
Episode 2
AMOC 90th Anniversary Celebrations: Astons in Austria | Visiting Aston Martin Stuttgart & Hitting the Road to the Alps
Join me on the next leg of my European road trip as I visit Aston Martin Stuttgart, explore their stunning DB12 and new Vantage in Minotaur Green, and admire some incredible cars inside Motorworld Stuttgart – from rare Bentley Le Mans Editions to classic Mercedes 300SLs.
After the dealership visit, it’s time to fuel up the FTP Vantage and head south through Germany into Austria, ready to celebrate the Aston Martin Owners Club 90th Anniversary.
Expect rain-soaked roads, mountain views, and a true driver’s journey in one of the most beautiful parts of Europe.
Episode 3
AMOC 90th Anniversary Celebrations: Aston Martin Adventure Takes an Unexpected Turn
What was meant to be an unforgettable Aston Martin drive up Austria’s legendary Grossglockner Pass takes an unexpected turn!
Join me in this episode of the Fuel the Passion European adventure as I set off among dozens of stunning Aston Martins — only for the weather and a fellow owner’s breakdown to throw the day off course.
From breathtaking alpine views to the reality of road-trip challenges, this one didn’t go quite as planned…
Expect beautiful Austrian scenery, rare Aston Martins, and the real behind-the-scenes of an unforgettable journey — rain, snow, and all.

Monthly Roundup Blog
I’ve decided to introduce a monthly blog. It will be an opportunity for me to share my thoughts on the month just gone, which will take a slightly different approach to what you see on the Fuel the Passion Videos which are aired via our YouTube Channel. The FTP Blog will develop over time, but will be an opportunity for me to share my thoughts, describe how I felt whilst experiencing the many drives and motoring experiences that are covered in the videos, and some behind the scenes elements.
There’s also a section where you can place your own comments and thoughts as a member of the Fuel the Passion Community, and if you’ve landed on this website and you’re reading or viewing Fuel the Passion content, you’re part of our community.
