They are, but the DBS (first series) is just so much more than a regular Aston, completely different from every other one, that's what makes it better than all the rest!

Have a guess what the S stands for by the way

What's with making cars more "aerodynamic" ferfuckssake - they're not going to be going fast enough to make a blind bit of difference...
They keep getting rounder and rounder - soon we're all going to be rolling along in balls.

That's why I love this one:



(as mentioned before)
And this one



There's a mat black one with black alloys driving about here, very nice!

EDIT: How could I forget about Star Trek on wheels, the Aston Martin Lagonda? A real feeling of a science fiction on wheels, a futuristic vision of the 70/80ies come true.. It´s , it´s , it´s . Maybe the pictures don´t impress anyone. But on a job several years ago I had the pleasure of driving one for about a mile..

and what mathematical fact does Aston Martin and Land Rover share?


both manufacturers can claim a minimum of 75% of all their product are still on the road, obviously LR have a few more tho!

The Ford parts bin

I'm daft enough to drive and love this piece of history...

Yet, when I drove longer distances the cars I saw having a breakdown matched a Merc-VW-BMW-VW-Merc-VW-BMW.. scheme. With BMW smoking from their bonnet rather often.

Forgot to reply to this bit earlier on

Of course you have to take into account there are far more German cars on the road than English/Italian (i.e. bad reputation) ones, so it might well be just the break down rate being worse. But then again it is a fable German cars are immune to breaking down/bad building quality/... I know loads of people with Volkswagens of which all sorts of bits just fall off, and when they go to the garage they find this 'normal' And on top of that they just lack the beating heart of English/Italian/... cars

Another classic favourite:

I got one of these (first one so farr)


if mony wouldn't be a problem (is it ever? )

wow, just take a look at those headlights clicky and clicky (don't blame me, blame Google)

if money wasn't an option (fuel costs being the main example) then i would have one of these baby's

Holden Commodore SSV 6ltr V8


but as fuel costs are a concern...i'll go and get the Vectra VXR


2.8ltr Turbocharged V6

I wish I had a small penis actually: years of the woman being on top so they've got full control and don't hurt themselves is not much fun I can tell you....

... and another superstition just got proven right. Thanks for emphasising my point, Esox.

And I wondered if there were more Alfa owners out there as they take the same dedication to run as supporting a certain band

What superstition: don't walk under ladders? And what's IMHO? I've only recently found out that ROFL is not a badly typed abbreviation for Rolf Harris, cut me some slack here...

Jess, Claire I see you two excell in taste!
And for the modern crates, I found nice universal tools.
That´s the advantage of modern cars: The simple handling.

well, I drive a 'medium' sized car, but I ken how tae work it

no complaints, so far...

No-one has offered to help me in my Tricycle Quest yet

That´s because jet engines are not allowed in street trafic, A car 20 yards behind you would melt...

Edit: Several years ago a bloke I knew owned a Chevrolet Van with one of those noisy blubbery sounding exhausts that are a wee less than legal in Germany. No mufflers, just a straight tube that came out under the rear bumper. Okay, and the carburetor was adjusted less than perfect, it ran somewhat rich..
Then there was that tuned up Schiroko. It´s driver tried to asure his sportive attitude by getting close enough to be a trailer of the Chevy. That happened on a german motorway, shortly before they left it at an exit at well over 120Km/h. When they reached the exit, the guy in the Chevy took his foot of the accelerator which resulted in the engine blowing hot unburnt gasses out of the exhaust, and two long flames blowing into the VW´s plastic nose for several seconds.. I don´t know if it actually caught fire, it may just as well have molten..

Safety is absence of danger. I am in danger of you watching it and massively threated by the outcome..
