I couldn't agree more, that lawn is in a disgraceful state

Oh and somebody has abandoned some form of abomination on it too!

[telum01]

It's just... so... bad...

That bonnet gap is a sign of pure class.

[vankypanky]

well i am loving it. everyone bangs on about the V12 and the heat it generates yet this comes up with a solution to that with that air gap and people start to knock it.

well I've just bid him £1.00 on the condition that he vacuums it first........it hasn't been rejected yet ( o st I might get it for a £1)

On a serious note......can't Aston Martin do something about a company putting AM badge on what is so awful and possibly not safe ?

If you win, is it a barby at yours? I'll bring matches, a bottle of bolly and firelighters.

I believe the current phrase is, WTF!!!

I think that it would fool 99.5% of the population 99.5% of the time!
Probably not the driver though.

I think it might fool 99.5% of members of the RNIB but the vast majority of the population would see it for what it is ......a ruined XK8

Edited by michael gould on Friday 17th October 08:36

my understanding, could be wrong, is that any car company owns the silhouette 10 years after last model was sold. This is what stops companies putting cars in 3d scanner and making a body kit / kit car build, unless you are in china scamming a bmw! One could argue the car here is so out of proportion it bares no resemblance to the Vanquish silhouette. But slapping the badge on i would of thought, was not done in a fair business practice because from association the act of putting badge on car seeks to improve desire / resale value. But if body maker didn't provide the badge and it was sourced privately by enthusiastic individual, and an individual is selling the car now not a company and individual put badge on, then might be OK. But for a case to stand any chance in court they would have to demonstrate economic loss from this product and perhaps that's a stretch too far! Without that a snotogram from a solicitor would be just bully boy tactics which I'm sure they are well practiced in, so should do the trick
