Honestly photographs don't do it justice.

Theres a few aston martins rolling around cork i see occasionally & they're very handsome machines.

That car i seen today was beautiful.

And yes bmstuff they're a surprisingly large car. The bonnet is huge.

I see several maserati's nearly twice a week? what's so special about seeing one? I suppose I do commute through ballsbridge/donnybrook which is home to so many nice motors.

that being said they are stunning in the flesh. even better sitting in one .
