The Best ///M/Barge/General Rant/Look at this/O/T (Vol XVII)
Discussion
Our next door neighbour has just taken delivery of his brand new 911 GTS. It looks surprisingly good and very "useable" and they've been getting rave reviews.
I guess they're perhaps not such a safe bet in value terms, but who knows with the state of the current used car market.
In other news, I'm pondering whether to sell the 1M (which hardly gets used these days, especially since the Defender arrived), banking some cash and getting something older - an early 928 appeals. Or perhaps an M powered e24.

PM if you do want to sell the 1M chap I guess they're perhaps not such a safe bet in value terms, but who knows with the state of the current used car market.

Gallardo - in the words of my wife, a "bit penisy"
What about an Audi R8 V10 instead - less phallic?barchetta_boy said:
550/575 - Very nice, in the consideration set. Can't help feeling that all Ferrari is a bit overheated right now.
The 599 offers a more modern option that doesn't appear to have gone stratospheric in price (apart from the GTO). Worth checking out, especially if you get a manual.

a 928 manual should be on everyone's list... I'm thinking of letting mine goI guess they're perhaps not such a safe bet in value terms, but who knows with the state of the current used car market.

Would a DBS would be a good alternative?
I think I'd take the 12C, although trying the alternatives would be fun.
DBS is a fantastic car and a really nice 'thing' but I would favour the 12C. I think I'd take the 12C, although trying the alternatives would be fun.
Has that supercar feel that the DBS doesn't, I actually preffered the drive of the DB7 GT over the DBS

I've driven a couple of DB9s since (both automatic), and they're lovely, and you can feel (to me, at least) that they were designed 20 years later. Lovely GT cars.
I have not yet tried a DBS.
Big fan of the DB9, really felt 'proper' if you see what I mean. DBS was fantastic but it just felt a tad sterile. DB7 GTfelt flawed but had that character that I look for. Flawed? Yes. Charismatic? By the bucket load.
Do I want a DB7 GT? Yes.
Do I want a DBS? Not really, no.
But then I'm odd like that
