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.

Hey! Thanks, I'm really pleased you like it. It's actually my own colour that Aston Martin made up for me, so I'm glad you can't quite put your finger on it. It took them a few tries, but eventually they came up with a colour that was exactly what I wanted. It cost a little extra (cough), but I get the guarantee that no other Aston will ever be exactly the same colour without my permission.

The paintwork they do at Newport Pagnell is just amazing. There's so much depth to it you sometimes feel like you could fall in!
 
m5 and 996. bling!

Not much at all. It never really sees the rain, and it is always covered in the garage. The white just looks so slick in the hot summer sun.

White actually is very resistant to dirt. My dad used to have a white Accord and it almost always appears clean, you only see the dirt if you get to close to it. Now imagine a week's worth of dirt or rain on a navy blue or black car.

clothes seems to act the opposite way of cars when it comes to colours and dirt.

MP3Architect, cool car, but how do you drive in those shoes? Also, I'm guessing you're a Subaru fan? :p

thats not me thats a model obviously. im a dude. and i think subies are ok but i personally like the styling of the mazdaspeed over the wrx. plus mazdaspeeds are way more rare that wrxs/stis.

Yeah, fair enough. That Mazda sure is set up to look like a Subaru though. :cool:

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.

Noooo, you can't be serious.
Digital guages came and went in the 80's. They're tacky and cheap looking.
Kinda like a Dell. :D

This is my car (not the one in the pic), but its the same model and two-tone colour.
And, yes, it does have an apple sticker on the back window.:cool:

Just one question, how do you get a family into the first one?
:D

I mean you could literally put the first car inside the 2nd one and take it on holiday.

Believe it or not, it is good for four people if you don't have a lot of baggage. It rewards you with low fuel consumption and low running costs overall. And in a crowded city like Berlin you always find a parking spot. :)

My wife and I love that little car! :)

I don't mean to be rude, but it is a car, right? I mean, it's not just a sardine tin that some prankster has stuck buttons on the side of, is it?

In all seriousness, kudos for relieving the world of another wasteful petrol guzzler. If you can get by with such a small car, then I commend you.

Hey! I used to drive a FIAT Cinqucento the same as that and it was a great little car in town. Unfortunately it didn't do too well when I took it to France and hit the motorway, it seemed to be unable to suck enough petrol to keep going and every time it reached 60mph it would cut out and coast down to around 30mph before fireing again. We turned round and picked up my mum's Clio.
The FIAT is a great town car though.

My new car's due next week so I'll be posting a picture then.
