this is the poverty end of the park car, if you want to use the underground car park then it has to be worth 100k plus :o

i was refused a pass for the miggy......was really upset about that

no, far from it, underground so the cars don't get wet or covered in bird crap and leaves......

had a peek in there once, there was a handful of new rollers and bentley's as well as a few ferraris and a maybach....

Ooh, that Aston is nice.   :-*

Would rather have a DB5 but it's close, and I'm afraid the VXR is not in the same league.

Very true, it is better built, faster, more reliable, more comfortable and sounds better! ;)

Sorry, I have known people who had Astons, and none of them would buy another.
Even the awesome DB9 carries on Astons tradition of great looks but woeful reliability.

 Local dealer had a red VXR8 outside when I was down the other week... it'd gone the next week, when I was going to ask politely for a go...

looks very Mercedes, not surprising when you consider what it is based on

But that's the point of having a classic car, so you can tinker with it & it most certainly wouldn't be your first car so the reliability isn't a big issue. Id'e still like one (dream dream)  ::) ::)

Good to see Rover's attention to quality was the same to the end. ;)

The panel fit on that car is bl**dy awful.... then we get on to the engine, the transmisson, the handling etc.

The bonnet sits a little high, the rest is fine.

 The Maybach might be owned by Mercedes and use the drive train, but that is all, every thing else is bespoke and to a better standard.
 You can have some surfaces in stone (Marble, Granite) along with leather and wood etc etc   ;) very very nice

That's where I differ with the whole concept of a Maybach. Why, with that sort of budget, would you have anything other than carbon fibre and kevlar? ::)
