They didn't knock the Aston, just the owners.

All the overpaid footballers where buying them.

Not inspired by every contemporary Aston, but that is very tasty, and if you keep it for years it may become super valuable; look at DB4/5/6 values, doubled in last year or so, a PROPERLY sound DB5 now makes £100k+..!
All this panic re; a cold wind blowing through the economy, real estate downwardly spiralling etc. but the classic car scene: values have gone MAD!

Talking
Neil - surely you don't need a lift to Le Mans now that your motor is doing what it is supposed to do ?

Seriously nice car Steve !! - Mind you the salesman was impressed with the Cobs!!

(especially Neil's as he's got a bigger motor than most)
