What do you all drive?

[Wanta996(Gotta)]

Great pictures "Getcarter", they look as good if not better than what can be found in the official Aston Brochure. I always want to take arty pictures of my cars but just never get round to doing it or when i do its raining.

Another Trevor fan.. Cerbfan (Andy) is a pal. But the more the merrier! If you drive past be sure to stop for a blab, you'll recognise the cars, i have a tendancy to go on for hours! AAA i think i recall seeing that specific Trevor in and about. Good recognition of the house, banjo's at the ready...

Ahh! I'll certainly come in for a chat if I spot you around!



Cheers,

Cheers want/got/996 (a great car, had one myself). Aston's pics are pretty rubbish methinks, so they don't set the bar too high... and it's such a great car to photograph, you'd think they'd exploit it!

Just got it on Friday after changing the colour and removing the stripes etc. Also had a complete re-trim inside.

Over the moon with this baby, totally gorgeous, outrageously noisy and blindingly fast, has to be respected though cos it really is that quick!

matty thats utterly stunning.
always been my single favourite car of all time, the hardtop is nice, thought it was a roadster for a minute, but even nicer, best of both worlds! What is powering that one?

Saw a 427 at Alford a few years ago, the noise... tissues please!

Thanks Istoo,

I've driven it twice so am dying to get home this weekend and start it up, just hope the weather is good!!

This is a Chevy Corvette 5.7 V8 351cu i think and i cant even begin to imagine what they are like when tuned or with a 6.3 or 427 etc. I'll need to get it rolling roaded i think just out of interest.

I'm overjoyed with it, one because its another car that i dont need to drive to enjoy, i can just walk around it. 2 because it sound amazing, like a dragster with the explosions when you give it a blip of the throttle and thirdly cos it goes like sh1t!!!

no head rests either.. whats the chances of it breaking your neck with the right foot!
V8 warble hard to beat.

The door and rear window hinging arrangement looks interesting. Is that a one off? ie the hard top?

yeh the accelleration is pretty wild but the car is so comfy even with those basic looking seats.

The windows can be swapped over and its a custom design supplied by Dave Brookes who supplies the hardtop. Its great as it means i could leave it in the rain if i really needed too.
