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.

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.

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

Underground? is it a bit of an iffy area then? :o

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....

now there's a car i'd love to see in the flesh!!

understated is the best way of describing it......

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

 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? ::)
