What heresy is this?
Yep. It's a beautiful car but sitting in it just didn't feel as opulent as I'd expected. It drove pretty well as did the DB9 but they just didn't thrill me like I was hoping they would. But at that point I was driving a Gallardo every day. Oh and Iva, I'm not your slave. You want some fan action, come sit by me.

But at that point I was driving a Gallardo every day. For a car that started life as an XJS and became an XK8 underneath you know at best it's going to rely on the Aston badge more than a bit .
However, having said that, apart from the seats, which I found uncomfortable, I really liked it. This was even though I drove all sorts of Astons including the 1990s Vantage, the last of the coachbuilt cars. For those of us immersed in Aston-ness, the major plus point for the DB7 is that it saved AML and has to be treated reverentially for that reason alone.
And you can really hustle a DB7.

We need a resident Chiropractor,Osteopath or Masseuse in TT as at least 3 of us currently
have aching backs n bits.
When I was working in Paddington last time, the resident homophobe had back trouble. We kept on to him to get it sorted but he didn't. One day he was in such trouble he found the nearest chiropractor who would see him straight away and dragged himself round there. He was met at the door by a rather effeminate man I pink lycra who explained he had been a career ballet dancer.have aching backs n bits.
Whether he was actually gay or not is irrelevant as the results he achieved cured Dennis of both his back trouble and his homophobia. A baptism by fire? Maybe. More an up close and personal massage by a strong man in pink.

That's the Eventer. Lovely thing, 40-80k these days though.
Mine is a Spider, Lynx was making the convertible 10 years before the factory.
One of two to this spec, apparently.
Did Lynx cure the scuttle shake that Jaguar's own version suffers from. Tickford's cabriolet had a T-roof to stiffen it a bit.Mine is a Spider, Lynx was making the convertible 10 years before the factory.
