Default Just seen this Aston Martin parked up...AWESOME!!!

Just walking through my local town centre that happens to be about 2 mile from Aston Martin's HQ and spotted this......

Same as the one Clarkson drive in the last Top Gear final show......

Dont know what model it is but fuck me, it had some road prersence with that bonnet and vents....

it is a beautiful car but personally i think the vents spoil it, would look so much better without them or something a bit more subtle.

nope.

V12 Vantage

good cars to drive. Probably Astons best ever I have heard....

looks a bit lame to be though to me. Chav'd up Aston!

The basic car is a stunner.....

the bonnet vents, wheels and lights look sooo after market and chav.

Would look brilliant in a dark grey, black etc where the vents blended in more... but the wheels would be getting changed to stock V8 Vantage ones cause they look like shite, like League Oxygens or whatever they're called, total toss.


Cheers,

going to the Nurburgring on Tuesday with 2 clients... one is taking one of these along. Its this horrible colour as well.... I've got a Bentley GT for the trip! much prefer to fly... but if you are gonna drive across Europe. The Bentley is the tool for the job.

Will get pics and let you know what the Astons like to drive.

What if your clients dont like cars/boats getting pissed etc What if they are into stamps collecting. You must have to do some boring stuff with clients that doesnt interest you

All my clients are really cool actually... AND I'm a bit of a saddo to be honest and can pretty much enjoy anything! Most of my clients are my friends now and I enjoy hanging out with them.

not that keen on Clay pigeon shooting.... thats probably only thing. Mainly coz I can't hit fook all and I get frustrated!

met a new client this week. He got 13 A levels in one year!!!!!!!! AND he is a lovely guy. Just VERY VERY smart!

It's only the wheels I dislike. Look really cheap and nasty. Rest is great. Would be a good excuse to try out some decent aftermarket rims on an Aston though wouldn't it? Something in black would look hard as nails on that! What about BBS CH Black Edition?

Have to agree with that, your picture hasnt done it any favours. They look far better in the flesh. I was working at Aston a couple weeks ago and there was a white V12 vantage (with much better wheels than that one ) outside and it was stunning

The one77 is better though

I was at the ring beginning of this week and aston had a few of these, including a cabrio version, going round the track and they were all being used HARD, properly hard!

They sound the absolute tits on full chat and we could hear them for a long time whilst wandering through Nurburg itself


Quick Reply: Just seen this Aston Martin parked up...AWESOME!!!
