New to Fuel the Passion? Start Here.
Welcome to Fuel the Passion - I’m Dan, the creator of this independent Aston Martin storytelling platform.
That’s me pictured with the FTP Vantage at the AMOC Spring Concours in 2025, a special event where the car achieved 2nd in class. It was one of those moments that captured exactly what Fuel the Passion is about: real ownership, great people, beautiful cars, shared enthusiasm and a deep respect for the Aston Martin story.
Fuel the Passion started in mid-2024 and has grown from a personal ownership journey into a wider Aston Martin platform covering heritage, motorsport, community, market observations, buying and ownership insight, and the real-world experience of living with these remarkable cars.
Whether you’re here for the weekly Aston Martin news, the latest motorsport coverage, long-form heritage features, buying advice, market observations, or simply to follow the journey of the FTP Vantage, this is the best place to begin.
Fuel the Passion isn’t about hype. It’s about telling Aston Martin stories properly, with enthusiasm, honesty, accuracy and respect for this wonderful British marque. I’m really pleased you’ve found your way here, and I hope you enjoy exploring Fuel the Passion.
Fuel the Passion is still a young platform, having started in mid-2024, but the ambition is to keep developing it into a wider Aston Martin home for enthusiasts. New sections are planned and in development, all with the aim of giving visitors and subscribers a growing mix of news, articles, films, ownership insight, motorsport coverage, market observations and heritage features about this wonderful British marque.
