No no no no....

Stop arse'ing about Peter... You have one of the fastest cars on the planet already... You need something to complement it, not replace it.... ditch the mass produced German stuff and buy (another) rear wheel drive hand built (in England) V8 two seater beautifully awesome classic thingy type car wotsit.... with an ejector seat and machine guns... and stuff....

Here's one I bought earlier

I absolutely love your Aston Richard. Such a beauty would look right at home in the Surrey Hills.

Unfortunately the practical side of life requires something large and German.

Looks the business Richard....is it living up to your expectations so far?

[ChilliWhizz]

Hi Phil yes mate... it's very like a TVR... for example this morning it wouldn't fecking start Needs a new battery which I'll get and fit at the end of the week....

Also within a hundred miles of next 10k service... I can't believe they only change the oil on these things every 10k miles...

I absolutely adore the the damn thing... I'm getting used to driving it and it's not at all slow, just takes a bit of pedalling along to make proper progress ... Interior is just a bloody lovely place to be....

Cost of some bits is bloody eye-watering though... how about £3.2k for a clutch replacement

Never mind, it's still cheaper to run than the ex wife... (and it's ageing better )

Insurance on beastie expires end of November, then she's off the road for a few months.... let me know if you wanna meet somewhere before then...
