|  Aston Martin V12 Vanquish While at my buddies house, that is putting an Interga GSR motor with a supercharger in my son's Honda Del Sol, a buddy of his dropped by in an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. He is a mechanic at the local Lamborgini dealer and was out Gassing up the car? yeah right! LOL Let me tell you, that was an awesome car. I could not figure out how to start it. He had to show me. Push in clutch, Pull parking brake next to door, pull both shift paddles at the same time until the digital dash shows N, Then push the red button in center of dash. Pure POWER! I did not get to drive it but he showed what it could do as he left. WOW No way to describe it other than AWESOME! SLKman  |

 | Awsome machines mate my old man has a V8 Vantage and oh the noise it makes is something else. The Vanquish mate lovely machine shame they are not very reliable the drive way up to my house is like stones all tightly packed but you need to take it easy so you don't kick them up and the V8 could not do it the thing actually broke down twice on the drive and then decided as you where driving along at like 60/70 mph that it would be fun to shift to neutral. New gearbox fixed it but still

| I love aston martins, V8 Vantage, DB9, Vanquish and Vanquish S. The styling is amazing and the sound is purely LOUD at 4k and above; Honestly I have to say that they are not that fast for a exspensive car.
