If I was the driver hauling the sewage I'd have told DJ I was carrying molten gold. Then when DJ said, " are you really", I'd have said " nah bro, I'm just taking the piss."
Colin is my dad! When he told me he bumped into you, I couldn’t believe it. We both watch your videos religiously and love the content, as you could probably tell by his reaction to seeing you. Keep up the great work 😅😅
@@DJAUDITS Car magazines used to pay big money for photos of prototypes, especially brands like Aston. Some photographers would wait hours at test tracks such as Millbrook to get a good shot of an interesting car. The internet and mobile phone cameras has ended this business.
I flew Richard Hammond years ago in an Agusta 109.He bummed a lift from Lyde to Portland.He had just passed his PPL(h) so was non stop with questions.After about ten minutes he said to me “ sorry I do tend to talk a lot”.I said not problem and turned the intercom off.😂
I worked there as a test and development driver for 5 years. Fantastic place, fantastic people and some huge talent there across different industries. I personally struggle with this video however. Maybe this is more of a UTAC problem because they clearly need to sharpen up on the sensitivity of their clients products and protect them against this type of exposure. One part of where you flew over is a secure compound which is only given access to specific people when on foot as it usually holds some very sensitive vehicles in there. Sometimes they will even be in camouflage and under covers if extremely sensitive. What you did could have compromised their clients products confidentiality. You probably didn’t know this but this is very likely going to cause a lot of issues there between UTAC and some of their clients. I’m really happy to see everyone being so respectful, I would expect nothing less as the vast majority of people are passionate professionals. I very much miss spending time there.
@@zolbad it was indeed, I really enjoyed my time there and I miss it the work itself. I got to work with some great people too. Brian Holliday who was one of them and who I’m sure you’ll know.
@@VinEvil ...The name Holiday rings a bell...did he look like Uncle Fester?...Stuart Dix was the Workshop Manger when i was there...Glen Kovacs and my pal Michelle ...Can't remember any other names...The Guy who took me out on my first day on a Test for the Licence was a nice guy...always smiling and happy. But i heard he passed away from a Heart attack..shame...my first six months was nearly all Renault Kangoo;s and Chevrolet's in Disguise. Looks like its all changed now..Probably reason I was made redundant...all the work was mainly GM..did you work in that period or for this company UNLIAC ?
@@marypettyfer4640 a close friend of mine who still works there says that the customers were understandably not happy. It could have easily dramatically effected peoples lives and it likely has. When I was there we lost a contract which meant at this particular time around 75% of our workforce lost their jobs. It was heartbreaking. I have lost a lot of respect for DJ.
lol. The site should have covered areas for ‘sensitive’ projects. It’s the site letting customers down not someone going about lawful activities. Jeez.
I've been to the site. Spent a whole week testing some machine. Got to see cars going round and round that track at 200mph. Well it sounded like it was that speed. They also do tours of the other parts of the track. This is one place where they enforce a no photography rule. The lens on my phone had tamper proof tape put on it which was removed by security when I left each day.
Yay, Millbrook! Fond memories of blatting around the mountain track in a Lotus Carlton. That 5 lane banked circular track is fascinating. You can see at 22:26 the lanes are marked 40, 50, 60, 75, 100. This is the nominal 'neutral speed' for that lane. What that means is, if the vehicle is perfectly balanced and tracked, you should be able to take your hands off the steering wheel and the vehicle will stay within that lane at that speed. This place has every type of test track you can imagine. Steep, flat, smooth, bumpy, straight, twisty. Everything!
I’m jealous of those days! My Dad was there then. Wasn’t the Lotus Carlton the fastest production car in the world with being able to achieve around 176mph? Did you work with Brian Holliday, John Hanson etc? I briefly got to work with some of the old timers before the redundancies came along. Some of the stories were brilliant!
great stuff, you'd imagine secrecy in the automotive world would be just as, if not more important than anywhere else, so having people friendly and cooperative is great. a great audit, informative.
great video of Millbrook with all the car testing facilities it has and the lovely MORGAN PLUS 6 AUTO at the beginning which i'm sure richard hammond drives one very similar
DJ you love electric cars ect you may want to look at Brent Cross on the A406. Over the last 2 months the old overflow car parks have been filling up with hundreds of unregistered Tesla’s. The view at night time is funny as all the info store keep randomly going off it’s like Xmas lights
There’s a similar place in nuneaton called horiba Mira. I’ve worked in both millbrook and Mira. Lots of secret vehicles in there from prototype upcoming cars to military vehicles. Both very interesting places! The do crash testing at Mira.
The green car going around the track is likely to be a prototype for the forthcoming Aston Martin DB11 replacement, rumoured to be getting called DB12. The grey car is a Lotus Emira, and the car with Fisker on the roof is a Fisker Ocean.
Surprised they didn't have a no fly zone there..I was a test driver for 3 years...the security were red hot about making sure the perimeters were secure against spy photographers...perhaps they don't do pre production car testing anymore...Best job ever
@@thetruth9210 That's interesting! Does that mean you're not watching to see interesting things and places, and find stuff out about places, as DJ has always said he's doing? Are you maybe actually looking for the confrontation? Is that what you want to see. Confrontation rather than interesting people and places and things?
@@thetruth9210 indeed, the videos are a lot tamer now than they were a year ago. There are plenty of things to audit though and I am sure the videos will evolve. It just makes the ones that kick up a fuss even worse.
Did anybody else notice the guy in the white van at the beginning the one with patrol 1 license plate sticking two fingers up at him as he drives off watch, closely and carefully around 5.25 😂
I cycle past there daily shame I didn’t bump into you !!! There’s a few cool spots in Bedfordshire there’s a Lockheed Martin plant not far from there as well
I believe it's "pru ving" ground not "pro ving". Proving is the gerund of prove. When adding "ing" to make the gerund we generally drop the "e" but still pronounce the base word as if it was there.
Complete guesses but looks like a couple Jaguars just from the rears but very unsure, pretty sure a white Bentley SUV and last is a Silver Renault Estate I'm pretty sure.
Really interesting video. My mate spent some time there when he worked for Ford - he was asked to take one of the early Mondeos around there and put some miles on it 😊
Great video very positive from everyone as much as I love seeing people kick off I do enjoy when people are respectful to you. This isn't something I could do id get bored but these vids and even learning more about a company I've not seen or heard is always a plus. Great stuff dj much love. PS please come to some Scotland areas id live to see you range more in the uk, if possible.
Another awesome audit DJ! I've been to Milbrook several times, for driving experiences and team building days in the late 90's. You got to drive various supercars around the different tracks and finish with a short lesson in a two man helicopter at the end of the day. Fantastic experience!
Why did you enjoy the vid he was being a penis you can just go where they cant see you and get the he same footage . So if you think he is sticking up for the photography community your wrong he is hurting it.... But maybe if your the luckiest person in the UK you can win a keyring that he prob got a thousand of them for 10 dollars us . If you listen. Close you can hear that the sticks on his remote are called flicked he is a crappy drone piolet...a true drone piolet. Don't let the sticks go and you can hear it he is just an an antagonist.i had respect loved the he vids until he assults an old man 3 times
Great video, DJ. Loving the paintwork on whatever that was @ 12:14. Maybe a type of Jag? Electric, by the looks of it. Idk lol. Would love to have a day at that place. Look's like a lot of fun :)
Seeing the car that was on charge got me thinking....why haven't cars got solar panels built in to their roof? It could really help with boosting the battery 🔋 Has anyone seen one?
Watched loads of your videos, im supprised you are not getting arrested by police that don't know the law, the only one I seen was inspector Adams one,is there more that I haven't come across yet!!!
That trailer that you was saying the video that they should take the wheels off otherwise they are asking for trouble I believe that that tow hitch is only going to be easy if you have a tractor or some kind of agricultural vehicle is would not go on any normal towbar so I think the chances that going are pretty sparce,
I'm wondering if Morgan built their distinctive body design on an Aston Martin Chassis, to a customers specs. 87 indicating there's 86 more been built perhaps?!
Great video. No idiotic ego maniacs coming out trying to be god, apart from the driver in the very green truck carrying precious cargo 😅 but seriously very professionl all round.
I have found the keyring!!🥳 Thank you so much DJ! I will keep the keyring on my drone bag as a thanks to David😆🎉

No more important than other industries. Willy Wonka thought it important that no one divulged the recipe of his everlasting gobstopper.
Aston Martin 😉 you welcome 😄
Very respectful individuals.
Let's see what it looks like FROM ABOVE gets me every time 😅
When it went past I saw straight away it was a Morgan what a beauty 😍 wow love it 👍
Even better seeing what the place is like from… up ABOVE 👆🏻 DJ 😂👍🏻
great video of Millbrook with all the car testing facilities it has and the lovely MORGAN PLUS 6 AUTO at the beginning which i'm sure richard hammond drives one very similar
Maybe that was being delivered there for him to test drive. He did arrive in his helicopter later on. 👍

hi DJ the grey car @10,17 was a Lotus Emira,.....
You can change the gimbal speed i believe in settings if you find its a little slow keeping the subject in shot
Nice and friendly people there . 🥰😊
Nice to see you DJ! Thanks for the key ring. Nice video!
The guy in the white van near the start gave you the V's as he drove off. Bet he felt well chuffed with himself 😄
Interesting fact about the circular track. A driver keeps the steering wheel straight when going round and round.
At certain speed.
16th minute, my school mate, Bob, in his red Volvo, cool !
Brilliant video DJ a very important site MIRA the motor industry research association does excellent work on safety matters we all take for granted
Morgan..been out a long time...they should have roads marked like the test track each lane was marked 30..50..60..75...
👍 What nice people you encountered DJ, i bet it won't last for long though before someone ruins your run of nice people encounters.... 😂
Colin and Bod were great lads what nice people.

@@sophielaurenthorius Well he's a cool dad to have. All the best to him❤👍.
Great video DJ. I cannot believe no one else has done Millbrook. Well done to staff and security for non intervention
Millbrook Proving Ground is where they filmed the famous Aston Martin rollover scene in Casino Royale James Bond movie.
Gave this one a thumbs up as it's so refreshing to see people being respectful of each other on BOTH sides!
Congrats DJ. More like this please! 😃👍
