The best Bond is OHMSS.

This simply cannot be argued with. Anyone that attempts to may as well be eating their own bodily waste and claiming to be Napoleon, for all the sense they are making.

Erm! Sorry, no it's not! Thunderball gets my vote......

A 6-pot DB7 is about as exciting as a new pair of slippers.

Wasn't a fan of the one i took as a swapper a few months ago - bar playing the 'where in the Ford empire did that switch come from?' game though.

Yes, but the one I was looking at was V12.

£20k DB7 Vantage or 996TT Loon for the money?

Head vs heart scenario right there.

Seeing as my head is v small and my heart is fooked I will go with the Vantage.

[L100NYY]

To add.

I know that I would feel much happier every time I drove the Vantage. The GTA we had here was just the most fantastic thing (imho), properly quick, sorted, feel-good factor and that oh so difficult to quantify 'character'.

The 996 Turbo is a proper weapon and will do everything that you throw at it but in that slightly off Germanic way.

A very tough call but I know that JeremyC loved his Vantage.

But then it did have a proper gearbox, unlike your GTA.

I 'think' I would have a manual but the GTA combo did work very well though.

Probably been posted, but this is as cool as they come.

If only I had 5 grand.

That's not Ben, it's an old Citroen.

You're probably being fooled by the 'very low to the ground' thing.

We had a lot of fun together back in 2002/3. My first ever rwd car.

You know what to do.

Make it right.

A week later, this is still for sale. So I've taken that as a sign that I should "open a dialogue".

Might make a nice winter project...

Would that not be a touch pricey fuel wise?

Can someone give me a holler when C6's fall below £5k please? I'm havin' me one.

I had a look earlier at them. £6.5 was the bottom end on AT but there are only 18 on there and each one is a 2.7hdi (are they reliable lumps?), and there are only 85 petrol ones registered according to how many left.
