Trashing him on a public forum…classy.

One thing I’m sure we can agree on is that they have some lovely cars!

There are numerous videos made by the staff at this dealer on YouTube.
They all have the same hugely enthusiastic presentation style. Every car is, "Fantastic, absolutely fantastic".
In the DB12 video, I was particularly impressed by the continuous motion of the well dressed gentleman's arm movements.
Reminded me of an old puppet show, although I cannot remember the title.

Imagine all those salesmen congregating in a room together, when they arrive for work at 5am each morning, to take part in the daily early morning group hype chanting session. They all come out of there really buzzing, ready to perform in front of the camera and sell, sell, sell.

They must 'shift' plenty of cars, but a salesman on steroids, would be a far too overwhelming experience for my custom.

I did notice the comment, "This is a man's car".
Oops, I gather that we are allowed to say that anymore. Must have slipped through the editing.
Everyone belonging to the non-man categories, are sure to start yet another protest march about that comment.
Mind you, just trying to define a woman got an MP in big trouble, so what really is the current accepted definition of a man? confused

If you are going to do an ad, get your facts right, especially in a highly specialised market sector. And if you are talking complete bs prepare to be shamed on public forums, as you deserve to be !!

Of course, all the comments are correct and perhaps shows why you should buy from a AM Dealer or specialist though this dealer does stock some great cars as mentioned. I only posted it to show the lovely DB12 off without much thought of the salesman to be honest, and imo a woman driving this would be very sexy! it's a lovely spec car.

It’s Aston not Astin. Now write it down a hundred times. Then say it a hundred times. Thank you.

That is an interesting point Paul, because I think what has been revealed, is that the overpowering, very dominant presentation style (presumably works for Acklam) has completely diverted AM PHers attention away from the car itself.

Certainly a beautiful spec. If it really is the only DB12 in that colour (perhaps not named British Racing Green), the car is still in production, so consequently a meaningless claim.
Would this be a 'flipper', for sale to someone who cannot wait a few months for their very own brand new car?
