Anyone on here? Apologies if a repost

Special release from Gaydon called the GT9.......was it headed for Geneva ?

[Frances The Mute]

Sweet Jesus...

That's the only size boot mounted aerial that gets a decent reception on the earlier radios.

That poor car!

[Big Ry]

Ah, the old Carnoisseur special.

People mod their cars I get that, we all do to a degree whether it's CF mirrors or whatever, or in this case a rear tea tray, but come on at least make sure it looks decent when you do

The wheels are chavvy too.

You know DB9s have become too cheap when... poorer people with no taste can afford to buy and modify them - is essentially what this is saying...

How very condescending...

Condescending you say? Ironic seeing as you're the only person here to make the direct suggestion that poor people have no taste...

By the by, I know plenty of rich people with no taste who'd likely write out a cheque for this monstrosity if it said 'Mansory' etc on the back.

But a valid point nonetheless.

MOT history is interesting too.

I think you may have misread some of my post, but nicely turned around

If you look again you'll see that my actual words were: 'poorer people with no taste can afford to buy and modify them - is essentially what this is saying...' NOT 'that poor people have no taste...'

Semantics...

Anyway, I think the wing and wide wheels do not in any way improve the looks of the car, quite the opposite in fact... just my personal opinion..

I thought that looked like a factory facelift...

Not sure if the chrome wraps seen in the West End of London are better or worse than this monstrosity...

[Car mad enthusiast]

And I thought we just had Rich & Filthy Rich folk in this country. Looks like the Benefits folk ( Poorer ) are on the up these days.

Dear lord that is a monstrosity! Looks like a giant bloody shopping trolley! Someone should be shot for doing that!

[afm]

Oh don't know. I rather like it. :-)

I have a Carbon Black coupe and couldn't find anything to do to it to personalize it. Until now!

[vinnie83]

Imagine how light the front end must get at speed! :O

[old phart]

Apparently no one told him he forgot to close his boot lid.

[George29]

Surely the owner can't possibly have thought that would improve the look?!
