V12 Vanquish...ouch
When it comes to aston martins I am a pretty done deal - I really don't think anyone who has handed over the cash to buy an aston martin has ever regretted it, not like those honda hangovers. Today I got to drive a V12 Vanquish - and ohhhh what a car - this thing goes 0-100 in less time than it takes a bus to rust, with a sound that shows what the other 4 cylinders over the v8 vantage are for. This is a mans car, a proper car, perhaps the car? is a used v12 vanquish for sale in surrey really THE car- the one I want forever more? I really really think it is!!! long live the vanquish miles.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS - Christmas Carol with a V12
When I saw this pop up at me I basically then decided screw saving for a db9. Look at it - this thing is worth 100 christmas's, and if santa really was fly he would be delivering everything from one of these cars. Wheels big enough to sink a ferry if you were ever to go on one, and an engine with more throat than a giraffe. This thing will have you 0 - 60 in 3.8seconds, and you will look damn cool the whole time, as well as being embedded in the (very nice) seat. 10/10 aston :D

Aston Martin DB5 - Classic British Classic
Famed as james bonds most used car the Aston Martin DB5 is a prime example of a car that has the showbiz smile. With a history of great british racing and design and a new baby brother that is the DBS that is consitantly more beautiful than anything ever built this car has everything a car from the 60's needs to survive into the next century. Truley a classic worth remembering.

Aston Martin DBS V12
Torque that would put satans ride to shame and a grin that would consume 1000 cheshire cats, the aston martin dbs v12 is more than your average aston martin....or is it? Big wheels - Check, stunning sell your arm for a ride looks - Check, loud - check. Besides the tomfoolery this car is not to be laughed at, closer to a purebred racer than a standard db9 but still maintains a level of out of this world dominance. It looks better than any car you have ever seen, and sounds damn good too!
