Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I imagine it would feature a load of people drifting JCB's and Mitsubishi Animal pickups in the Wicklow mountains while eating Tayto Crisps and that funny orange pop that they all love over there, while a couple of Ryanair planes flew overhead to a U2 soundtrack.

Milford Cubicle Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Do 'retro' cars need to have the word stamped on the front wing? I see it has the obligatory iron cross too.I hate these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Was the Vantage owner in buying 20W50 and filters to do a quick service on his drive this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jeff Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 That Aston looks awful. I don't really understand the fascination with them to be honest. The DB7 must be about 15 years old, and it's now gone through more facelifts than Joan Rivers and it shows.And what is with the Drug dealer alloys and silly Nurburgring badge on the back? An Aston Martin should be the choice of the Gentleman racer. Not an oaf with money who has watched too many episodes of Top Gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 That isn't a facelifted DB7, it's an 'all-new' one. Vantage I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jeff Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 They are always "All new" The DB9, Vantage etc. And no doubt Top Gear will wax lyrical about them, but they all look like slightly different variations on the same old design. Each generation seemingly getting uglier than the last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston owners are the types who like to give us money for a few hours graft. Super) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle silvia Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 OOh always wanted to know what engine was in that!!!! And as for the Renault 25...... it came back today and here it is............. I chatted to the owner who seemed a top bloke and he said he had had it from new and paid £10k for it! Since then he has done over 233000 miles from new and is still going with only minimal rusty bits and a sticking sunroof!!!!! Not bad!!!! He did say he was finding it hard to find some parts so I pointed him towards here, Retro Rides and Renault25.co.uk so he may well pop on!!

Milford Cubicle Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Expensive number plate but a £14.99 set of wheeltrims. Class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bloke Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Expensive number plate but a £14.99 set of wheeltrims. Class! Ha ha, my thoughts exactly!! Black bumpers and lack of front fogs sugests it's a base model, but if he bought it new, I suspect it was more than 10k- original purchaser of mine paid 14600 for it. Can there be a 4600 price difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 That looks like an excellent example. I bet it would still make a very capable daily driver, why the hell aren’t people being actively encouraged to keep stuff like that going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Rarer saloon too, original hubcaps - lovely. I drove one of these once, years ago, and it was a bit of a boat but would no doubt make a very capable cheap daily hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 That Polo is showing next year's Scene (sighs)Theres a pic of an Astra Van on another site where the owner has actually intentionally written 'Ghetto' slogans in permanent marker all over the roof.Or is it genuinely the victim of a hate campaign lol?That Aston Sabre kit is indeed shite, but kind of pretty in a perverse way?
