I had my heart set on one, but then I got the wife pregnant again. It will not fit three in teh backk under any circumstances, so I'll have to wait.

Saw the factory car (AML 1 is the factory car, yes?) waiting to board the tunnel train at Calais this afternoon. It looks sooo much better in the metal than in photos, beautiful car, great proportions.

I had one for a weekend some time ago and it was a very impressive and handsome thing, drove well and sounded great, but they are loooong!!

I just can't get my head round the sporting 4 door thing though.

For my money I think I would go for a used Bentley Flying Spur and a Gallardo / F430 for the weekend toy, but I couldn't fault anyone who chooses one, they are a lovely thing!

Saw one on the A4 today. It was kind of silver greenish - not a pretty colour IMHO so didn't look that stunning from the rear 3/4 aspect.

I do not understand why the world needs these 2+2 saloon cars that are more than 5 meters long but offer limited space. If you need a limo buy a Mercedes Benz for half the money and a V8 Vantage or a 911 for the change and you have the best of both worlds.
