hmmm....its rather more difficult "side on"..than i first thought..


DB7, Rapide
DB9(1), Vanquish S (1)
DBS, Vantage V8,
Vanquish 2, DB9 (2)

think that's correct.

Last one looks like a Virage to me, DB9.2 has the kicked up boot lid. Attention to detail Gents

I had a V8 Vantage - always breaking down in some form or another.

Like most British made things...ste.

I saw these 2 on the same night, all 3 were round the corner from each other. Note the number plate on the Aston.

I just don't understand why you'd want to take a grainy photo of an Aston next to a kebab wrapper?

These things get in the way on a daily basis don't they?

Saw this on Friday and took a pic thinking of this thread. It's an old XK that looks absolutely fantastic. Sorry the pic should have been better!

The looks aren't important.

I was an utter Aston cynic. I just didn't care about them, at all. Couldn't imagine they were a patch on a German, AMG, M, RS, Porsche..

Then, while looking at 911s, I drove one.

Immediately I upped my budget by 10k and picked one up a few weeks later.

If you think the looks are important, you're really missing the point. The feedback, feel, balance. Depth. Experience.

They could each look a bit more different, though...

Everyone saying it looks just like every other Aston... no it doesn't, sure it shares some styling cues but that is called having a brand image surely?

If they looked just like the others people wouldn't be able to tell them apart, all joking aside I'm sure we can all tell the differences between each Aston model

I really like these, great modern looking Aston

If you can't see the obvious differences between each car then you're either being deliberately obtuse or you need to go to Specsavers I'd say.

That's unfortunate. I had a V8V that didn't breakdown which I sold at 93k miles. Now I've got a V12V that has also never broken down.

I suppose the German cars never break down. That's as accurate as saying all British things do...

I've had two V8Vs and both were pretty great, 1st one i had broke down once due to a drain on the battery from the alarm, simple fix.

2nd one i had never had a single problem with it.

Great cars, only sold mine so i could jump back into Ferrari before the prices start to go stupid again.

Next years summer car will be a V12V or an SLS, but most probably be the Aston...........that noise

Look great but awful inside....unless you are an umpa lumpa your head will be skimming the roof lining and the steering wheel (awful ford looking type) will be rubbing your balls. Very heavy, slow witted engine too.
