Loads of these around South Wales now.

When I was dropping my Exige off at Stratstones for tyres one Friday a few weeks ago they were handing over 5 new V8's to their lucky new owners that day.

If you want to drool over one up close then there's a silver one parked on St Andrews Cresent most working days. Sounds beautiful when it pulls away.

All Astons look the same to me. Not a huge fan. They look worse in the metal than in artisticallly angled photos. I once entered a competition to win one and was relieved that they changed it so you had a choice of winning a Gallardo or a 997. It was ahuge worry as I din't win anything but in theory....

Ferrari's arent that rare in South Wales now either. Dick Lovett shifted 10 360's in the first week they opened on Penarth Road.

I think Ferraris, Porsches, Astons, Lotus etc are all common in Cardiff as they have dealers there, down here in Swansea you see alot less of these cars. Im not saying there are none here, as there certainly are, but not as many as Cardiff. If you want a rare, fast and very desirable super car for around £100k, (Instead of 360, DB9, 430, 997 etc) it would have too be:

The V8 looks stunning but it really ain't all that, it's underpowered and overweight for what it should be and would take a C2S over one any time and spend the extra on an Atom. I got cut up by one really badly last week, tosser was on his mobile as well
