Vantage V8 Roadster 'LJ09 CVV' driven dangerously

[hat97]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knew of this car? I honestly dont think i have ever seen a car driven with such disregard for others and indeed regard for the machine itself.

Shocking.

If it was really that bad you should report it. Care to describe how it was being driven?

[Raddors]

Tell the story

Yeah, for starters if driver was beard / non beard, that would give a good starter for 10

Well, racing up and down the same residential 30mph road bouncing off the limiter and then holding against the limiter every time in first and second.

Sat stationary with foot flat to the floor bouncing off the limiter for ten or so seconds at a time, giving various friends a go at driving up and down the street trying to wheel spin and max out the poor thing in every gear.

I dont think the driver(s) are used to driving such a car, I certainly have never seen a car of this ilk driven like that before.

Various drivers, with various states of facial hair.

Feel free to point me in the right direction.

To be honest I was shocked mainly by the lack of care shown to the car and complete lack of any mechanical sympathy, I certainly would not want to buy such a car.

Its OK wont go on for long, it will eat its clutch with all the racing starts.....

Supercare hire?

[hat97]

The thought did cross my mind that it may also be something like a 'supercar' experience rented car, or such like, as I really can not imagine anyone driving their own car like that, in which case, if i was the true owner, i would be very interested to know.

On a more serious note, sounds like its been nicked ?

When you google the numberplate the 2nd hit after this one is the Aston Martin used website, but it said it's been sold.



There are also loads of pictures on google images of it.

In Blackburn and Burnley near me, you get a lot of asians who rent performance cars for the weekend and hammer them like this. I feel sorry for the next actual owner of the car.

[crazy about cars]

Still be silly money to rent it but I guess if you split the cost between your mates...

I dont think its been stolen, it was blatting around all weekend.

I think it must be a rental, there is no other explanation (and no justification) for the way it was being driven, i hope the rental company and/or perspective buyer in the future will do a quick google search, the driver(s) were complete idiots.

I am loving the fact you logged on here to name and shame! Good for you....

[Monty Zoomer]

You should've videod it and uploaded it to Youtube, that would've been good.

I saw a white V8V in Wilmslow over the weekend, posing and revving, attracting attention....

Was a Coupe though, obviously in attention seeking mode which makes me even less interested.

My son commented that he had to compensate for the missing 4 cylinders.. hehehe funny !!
