Tonight is the night...

The Aston. It's not the best "10/10ths" car, but since I get to drive 10/10ths about every hundred years or so, so what? It is by far the best looking (probably the best looking car on sale imho), best sounding, and exclusive (I know they'll probably be fewer M6s but there are still lesser six-series). Where I live and work, 911s are common as dirt (I do like them, but...). Having said all that, a 911 is probably the only one of these I'll ever actually have the remotest chance of owning...

Keep your eye there for torrents GDW

Sweet man thank -you

What did people think about the Ascari?

The fact it was powered by a beemer engine sort of negates any "britishness" about it, a bit like the Bentley Continental GT.

That doesn't stop me from liking it hugely, looked a bit like a Koenigsegg.

 

[Dommers]

The interior was gorgeous imo, the outside I didn't like. Couldn't put a finger on why though

 

[Brynn]

What did people think about the Ascari?

Very nice.

But, I would rather spunk 235k on something else

 

[old.user4556]

As would I.

 

[Dommers]

What would you spend it on?

 

[old.user4556]

Either:

a) Aston Martin DB9 and pocket the other ~£115k

or

b) Ferrari F430 and pocket the other ~£110k

or

c) BMW M5 and pocket the other ~£155k

All cars with a proven racing heritage and motorsport arms.

extremely deep midnight purple with metallic highlights. you know, the purple that you can only tell it's purple when a bright light shines on it. mmmm.

btw, if you like I can move this thread to the automotive section. only if you like though. </fascistmod>

 

[Dommers]

How dare you even suggest it. *Strikes TdC down*

 

[Dommers]

What would be nice is if you cleaned out the aruging crap.

Anyone figured out what clarkson had written on that bit of paper he showed Hammond and gramps?

 

[Dweller]

Aww fuck I missed it

So did I

But luckily, it's repeated on Tuesday at 7pm

My first thought was something like their addresses, but on thinking about it, it could be something like the first cars they owned, or another thought I had was them drunk at the christmas party

 

[Furr]

I think it was more alone the lines of F**k off

 

[old.user4556]

The bit where the Stig arrived at the airport and Clarkson wheeled him away on the porter's trolley - man that was fucking hilarious.
