Aston Martin Vanquish

[gold man]

Just seen one drive past me and it looks absolutely stunning in the flesh. Well done Aston errr... Ford.
Anyone bought one?

[PetrolTed]

Well there's one for sale in the classifieds here so someone did. Wonder why they're selling it so quickly.

[currymonster]

There was one up for grabs in a competition at an airport (LHR I fink) a while back. Gotta say, it is sex on wheels.

[M@H]

What do you think the depreciation would be like though..

[corcoran]

Nick (owner of the one for sale in classifieds) said the seats weren't comfy and the gearbox wasn't nice.

[CarZee]

Yep - that's exactly why I didn't buy one...

Oh, a bit like the Griff 500 then, but slower.

Oi!!

Redeemed yourself at the end

'Course, the difference is it's a hand made metal kit, not a hand made plastic one. It would need that Spitfire engine (see other thread) to make it fly like a TVR!!

Right, I'm confudded now! Which is the one that came from the Project... somethingorother??? Oh, ffs! it does 190mph! You know the one I mean, I'm thinking that this car is that car! ( even more now)
Is the vanquish the derivative of the Project somethingorother?!?!

[beano1197]

....and by the way, didn't they pinch that front grill shape from a Chimp???

Indeed Project Vantage was the prototype the Vanquish is the production car. There was an excellent article comparing the two in Evo a month or so ago. Rich...

Cheers, Now I know what everyone is talking about!
that car! Sex on 4 wheels!

[Roadrunner]

Surely the most awesome classy motor available today, a contempory classic. I've heard Bond is finally back in one for the next film. What one earth were they thinking using the bmw clowns shoe in Goldeneye?

[currymonster]

I thought the bond 7 series was pretty cool though. They're tasty for such a big saloon. That v8 is a beaut!

[CarZee]

Nonsense - the Renault 11 in A View to a Kill has to be the most awesome Bond car...

[currymonster]

CarZee, you're obviously forgetting the yellow Renault 4 from 'from Russia with love' (I think). Now that was a 4 wheeled beast.

or the 2CV...
