That looks awesome.
Aston Martin Lagonda.

You fking pleb! smile
The Lagonda was designed by William Townes and included a then-advanced digital speedo and dash which was horrible. This car had the original dash,but later had a traditional dash and many have been retrofitted. Opinion on its looks is divided,but I think it is very cool.

RDMcG - such a small world. I was just returning a Challenger to AVIS at Yonge/Bloor on Sunday morning and after leaving the mall I've noticed a Diablo and a Vantage on a pavement. I was wondering what was that for... unless that wasn't a part of your event.

Lol ok I'm embarrassed even the wife knew it was a lagonda. I've never seen one before. I also dig the 80's digital dash. It's just awesome but unfortunately I don't have 30k to spunk on one.

Thanks OP for broadening my car world. smile

50,000.....wow....didn't think that many people even lived in Canada? wink

Seriously though, how we're crowds controlled? I'd be pretty wary of damage to cars?

I heard today it was closer to 70000. We do have security on each block and also police presence.
People are very good and well behaved. We do have the cars roped off.
