supragold Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Porsche is awesome but I think it just looks so old and boring now. I don't really take a 2nd look at them anymore. Unless its the GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 The AMV8 looks the dogges bolloques, but I'd have the 997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 The Aston - sounds gorgeous. But just didn't grab me. Looks like a bland blamange to me. The colour of the car they tested did it no favours but.... http://www.astonmartin.com/content%5Callsites%5Cimages%5Cdesign_page1_d53fd31f-c7cb-4a8d-bd9f-4690ef0097b4.jpg http://www.astonmartin.com/content%5Callsites%5Cimages%5Cspec_page4_63aef10b-4ea0-4622-8bab-6e613a4ace04.jpg http://www.astonmartin.com/content%5Callsites%5Cimages%5Cdesign_page2_b6313e83-be79-4714-9419-3b4dc133087e.jpg Dribbletastic!

SupraStar 3000 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Aston all the way for me. Who needs 500bhp when you look like sex on wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Sod that M6, Cool but subtle! Astons and 911's are so common! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Sod that M6, Cool but subtle! Very subtle at making a speed run ... it can't till you play with buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supragold Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Those pictures of the AM V8 are quality. That shows the car off alot better than on TV. Love them looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Aston for me but not the baby version. Anyone else think that the rear end on the Ascari looked a bit Skyline-ish? Especially the boot line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 True, I can't remember the last time I saw a BMW Not one I actually liked Z1 was the last one of them and I only ever saw 1 of them in the flesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Theres an Aston and a 911 in my village, plus two Bentleys (one of which is a Cont. GT) and TBH I can't remember when I last noticed a BMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 The show was pretty good, shows that BHP isnt everything! I like the Aston but if I had the money I'd want a DB9 not that one. Out of those 3 I'd have the 911, I feel it has class, the aston has loads of class too but the BMW just doesnt have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Awesome episode, so bloody funny......it was brilliant. I'd go for the 911 anyday over the Aston & the M6, purely because its bloody fast, reliable and cause of those brakes. Mind you....me personally, i'd go for a 911 turbo if I could afford it cause that car aint common plus its got real street presense. Star in the reasonable priced car was cracking....Ascari was quick....looking forward to Stig's lap in the dry. The 1 hr show as a whole was brilliant...so much better than ANY other program on TV let alone other car programs.

tbourner Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Very humerous episode, I was laughing out loud at a few points! Can't wait for the Veyron feature - those cars sound SOOOOOO good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_Fraser Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Yup was a good start to the series..... I'd definitely go for the Aston though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliAl Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Aston for me as well. Shame they did not put the V12 in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Mark my words, Aston will (probably!) be bringing out a more powerful version of it's new baby. They seem to do this with all their cars, an entry level to get people interested then 'WHAM' - meet the AM V8 500hp supercharged bullet!! That's just my thoughts on the matter. Heart said yes to the Aston but head said Porka - and I really am not that keen on Porkas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
