This is one of my cars, bought from new to my own specification. The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish.

I'm under 30 and I don't have rich parents ;)
That's an AWESOME car!

Take a picture or two more, please? :D

For anyone else? No. For you, and that signature that *always* makes me giggle, always!

My favourite feature is the tin of Aston Martin branded mints, obviously.

Yeah, they are indeed wonderful cars. We have another LH car in the family, so I'm use to the size of it. It's a big car by todays standards, 208 inches or thereabouts. Only the Crown Vic (and its twins) as well as a the big S Class are longer.

But, you gotta love the back seat size and overall spaciousness of the interior (plus the massive trunk... (For dead bodies?)) .

I have a few mods/fixes/need to do's planned:

• Get vanity plates/registered ($250)
• Fix front bumper paint chip ($150)
• New floor mats ($25)
• Debadge letters/dealer sticker (a few hours and a hairdryer)
• Rotate tires (Next oil change)
• Tint windows ($100??)

Yeah I need to get floormats for my car. Carpet floormats are like magents for getting really dirty. I hate that so much! Yeah I pretty much have to get all that stuff done except for the windows and the front bumper. Then I'll be set.

No, not really ;) I wanted the flagship model, and the DB7 is pretty damn ancient. Beauty in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

Don't listen to him, covertibles aren't that cool.

That's a really nice Aston, and in a proper dark colored paint job too, I like that. What color is it? Black or very dark green?

I've read that they do 12 layers of paint, and you can choose excactly the color you want.

She IS a thing of beauty....

That so out does the little '97 Honda Civic I could post a picture of....
 
Well here are my fav rides the one destoryed was from an antitank mine, we both lived, but I will live with the results for the rest of my life. The one with the smoke is the replacement, such a great ride, does 40 MPH over any type of terrain with 6 shocks, 275 Turbo Charged engine, love this machine, climbs 60 degrees, swims, turns on the spot, and has a big gun to deal with bad traffic.

It's my current car and I just bought it. It's mostly a fun car and around here definitely more usable than a BMW or anything. And since I got it reeaally cheap I just couldn't pass it up.

I love my best friends dad's "midlife crisis"/weekend car. Its awesome. He drives down the street very fast in it (he's my neighbor). I've been in it and it is really fun. He treats it like a baby.

I have a '97 Jeep Wrangler that still looks brand new and has less than 80K on it.

And last year I purchased a MB.

I have a 97' half door soft top as well. But it's blue. Also a Nisson Maxima and a Mazda MX-5 Miata.

I'm too lazy to take pictures.

Yeah, plus, rubber ones are cheep enough.

The car goes in in about a week to get the bumper fixed, de-badged, and clearcoated. Tint hopefully the week after.

Here's our Bimmer that I wanted my mom to give to me, but it's terribly unreliable, so we're probably getting rid of it and getting an A6 or something comparable.

I'm having a test drive in a Mini on Tuesday - although I've heard they're being updated fairly soon - new colours etc for the run out batch before the facelifted version comes out september time. Although how accurate that is I'm not sure.

Didn't realise it was so hard to choose a car! Options at the moment are the Fiat Grande Punto Sporting 1.4. A Mini of some description or an older Fiesta or similar to hold on til those updated Mini's (or something better) come out.

Hehe, sorry. I've had the Mini 4 years now and am a little bored, plus mine is just the Cooper, not the S as you have. I'm a bloke, I need more POWAR!!!! :D

The S2000 quite possibly has the coolest dashboard ever (not interior, but "instrument cluster"), all digital guages and the RPM meter is just awesome. My other neighbor has a BMW Z4 3.0, which I have also been in. The S2000 just seems a lot more fun plus it redlines at 9,000RPM!!! Its amazing how its little 1.8 liter engine powers that puppy.

Neighbors not as cool BMW (its at school cause he was watching his son's lacrosse game)

Because women don't need power, right? ;) Why not get one of the new special edition Cooper S coming out? The GP something?

Cause it'd still be another Mini, a fast one, but still a Mini. I neeeeeeed something different.

However, this one would be pretty scary! :eek: Way out of my price range, but I bet it would be a hoot! :D :cool:
