Reasons.... its new, its blisteringly fast, comfortable, ideal for huge GT runs, charismatic, entertaining, exciting and just a car to aspire to.... Its a proper Aston through and through.... Love it....

+1 (but would need to have a careful look at the colour chart)

- and I'd happily be labelled as an old fart!

It just oozes thoroughbred British engineering - a fantastic car

Those Mickey Thompson tyres are a fortune about £300 per tyre

Nice to see it had a tax disc

What engine and turbo setup were you using

I'm with Simmo. old fart maybe, but comfortable old fart.
I might even volunteer to deliver a new battery to Shuffled to rescue that polished white aRSe thingy while I run it in

Those ET Streets are awesome, the grip is phenomenal.

The car had to be taxed and tested to qualify for the street class that I ran in.

Engine was a 2.7 HKS block with a T88 turbo. Bit of a lag monster but pulled hard once it got going.

Hmm!

Hate to say it but the new Alpina D3 touring might just be the best looking estate ever, goes like stink (0-62 in 4.8) and still officially cracks 50mpg!

Good timing - just come onto pistonheads - http://www.pistonheads.com/news/defa...?storyId=28632
