I would buy one of those Aston Martins, but gas has gotten so expensive that I think I'll buy a 3 cylinder Toyota Aygo instead- gets 61 mpg. 0-60 in less than four minutes, room for two very slender people (good car for Jockeys), as long as they don't have any luggage. Top speed is great, too, 97mph.

Otherwise, if gas weren't so expensive, I would have bought an V-8 Aston Martin Vantage too, but you've got to cut your expenses somewhere.

I'm sure you will agree that the Aygo is sexy too!

Ain't it pretty?

Plus, you could actually buy 10 AYGO's for the price of one Vantage, tie them together and have room for a whole girl's gymnastic team, plus all their equipment.


GOSH, ALL KIDDING ASIDE, I WISH I COULD AFFORD AN ASTON MARTIN.

Congratulations Jean-Marc! You lucky duck! What a beautiful automobile!

Jean Marc,

Simply Beautiful!!! Congratulations!

BUT to me, its just as Tom Jones sings "to dream the IMPOSSIBLE dream ...".

It's really a beautiful car and not much around here too! So far, I have NOT seen one as yet!

Hey, you do need to do some cleaning,. I spot some dusts on the interior floor .....

Cheers!

Serge, it's a sportshift, 390 HP, 4,3 L, in tungsten silver and interior obsidian black/silver corse with many confort and aesthetic options including specific 19" wheels, Premium Audio with 6CD changer and Ipod/USB kit(not McIntosh however!), Bluetooth,cruise control, warming electric seats,battery conditionner, umbrella,silver grille etc...

Got it saturday, but it's very rainy since and I was very very busy this week end, so I can't say I had time to test/drive it extensively. One thing is sure, I love her sound.

Thanks guys for your congrats!
Nicely done! Now you'll have to take a ride to a Jaeger-leCoultre dealer as AMVOX watch is a must for every Aston Martin owner. YouTube - AMVOX ASTON MARTIN

Thanks Jef, you know that if I plan a rendez-vous with Fred to see an Amvox this could be very dangerous for my wallet...

Hey Dan, do you speak french, or do you only know the words that ladies love to hear?

Jean-Marc........I speak just enough french to order a Gavroche, and get my face slapped by the waitress.
