Here's what I saw today (Please read the rules before posting)

dont have a clue...

That Nova Kit car was discussed here a while back AFAIK, it looks to have been around a long time, and has an old Irish number plate !

Aston is cool because they're British, understated...and James Bond drives one...he used to drive a Z3.

Oh, I almost forgot - when you turn on the ignition 'Power, Beauty, Soul' appears in front of you - that's really cool

Ferrari and Lambo are all about performance, style and the legacy. The design is unique - that's what I want in a car.

I'm not arguing with you here, I do see what you mean, and as far as performance goes, generally Ferrari has nothing to fear from Aston as a pure drivers car, but thats what I'm getting at. I really dont care for the "British Bond" thing, and Aston s in the past have merely interested me slightly. I'm not a Ferrari or Lambo fan, as I find them way to brash and austentatious.

The current crop of Astons, particularly in those dark metallics look simply elegant and "COOL". Previously only a 911 would have raised my blood pressure but now there is competition.

Now lets not ruin the thread by arguing over which exotic we'd like to buy some day !!

The last pic was good enough to be put in the brochure!

A few i took a couple of weeks ago in the Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart:


300SD, first ever production turbodiesel, first every luxury turbodiesel. 121PS.


Nothing to say. Just look.


Merc truck with a wood carburettor. Might be put back on the roads if petrol starts to go up again.

Now that is something I have to see to believe. Bit of a fire hazard wouldn't you reckon?

Ye that's a Murcielago, not diablo. But it's lovely.

Heading back to Puerto Banus at the end of Nov, it'll be off season but there'll still be nice cars around.

Also spotted this , its one of the Rollers belonging to the Burg al Arab , The barrier popped up and took the bumper/sump off it , they wern't too keen on photos being taken ..

Lads, you are barking up the wrong tree with these corny jokes.

Just leaf it go, and no more branching off topic.
