mmmm.... I think Greg already has that covered...

Nope - that's more for Hummer fans...

I have an E430 Sport and I love it. I was pleasantly surprised to be getting just a hair under 20mpg with the thing.

Good luck!

I was astounded to get around 30mpg on a long run in the AMG E55 I had for the weekend (albeit that was a gentle drive at sensible speeds with the cruise control on), but it was more like 17-18mpg around the local lanes. Mind you, that's a UK gallon, which is larger than the US gallon, so your 20mpg would probably equate to slightly more over here.

I'm thinking of trying an E320, which reportedly gets around 24-25-ish in average conditions, which isn't much worse than my previous (pre-tree) car...

We'll see what happens when the insurance company sort themselves out...

I gotta admit I do like the new F700...

wow.

Gimme.

For after the apocalypse:

That's about 6 inches long, right?

i see lots of MB here... MB SL500 w/ both tops

woooo - very very nice indeed. A friend drives one of those - beautiful car.

With your username, I was expecting a Landie....

Okay. I laughed.

To counteract the noise from Spain.....

Fugly. I like APs as a rule, but that thing looks like a Graham Chronofighter's uglier brother crossed with a ROO on a really bad hair day.....

no, that's neither practical or fun. Useless and miserable, yes.

A model you missed (and a particular favourite of mine - I'll be buying one once a decent rep appears)

ah - just for alphakazi, I see. Well done

Or this totally rodded

double post!

[censored]ing cpu error!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ah, just like home... *wistful sigh*

Now that's just silly....

Oh, you want power. How about this:

Nice - always liked the Camaro. Wouldn't necessarily want to own one, but nice all the same. My wife used to have a '67 Mustang fastback (I forget which version now - it was before we were married, but it looked like the one in Bullitt), which was also a thing of beauty.

These new gens look rather interesting. 'specialy if your a jag fan.

Nice! The Benz models look interesting too.

Dunno, an Aston never won Bathurst did it? M635 did. The two most amazing wins of the great race were the big Beemer and the XJS. Two big, heavy coups that should NEVER have had a chance in hell on the mountain.

ROFLMAO@Col's sig.....

For what it's worth, while I had the M635 I once had a bit of a burn-out with a Lamborghini Countach in Germany - I was expecting to be slaughtered, but I managed - mostly - to keep up with him all the way to 100-ish (at which point I started running out of acceleration whilst the Countach went on afterburner and headed for the horizon at an alarming rate, but that's to be expected). Not too shabby for a relatively heavy coupe... It was a seriously quick piece of machinery. I somehow doubt I'd have fared so well in the Aston (would probably have had to get it serviced half way through.... )

A friend/client had a series of XJS - eventually winding up with a V12. Great car, but boy did they need a lot of attention. Almost as bad as the Aston. Jags really weren't at all well built back in those days.

The beer and the blondes stay with me, the marines go.

you do realise that the marines stand no chance of bringing him back without the beer and the blondes.....?

still on my mind

'tis a thing of beauty, for sure.

so it turns out the seller is willing to pay for it to get fixed - imagine that - all of a sudden I feel much better - I probably will never get it fixed but it was the thought that counted

cool - kudos to the seller

Replacing Aston Martin to Beemer is the same as replacing asian girl to white one.

Yukksss...

1. Your frequent comments about asian vs. white girls border on racist and are more than a little offensive. Quit it.

2. Replacing an Aston that I loved but was causing me no end of problems and costing a fortune to keep on the road with a BMW M635csi was certainly a tough decision, and one that I hated making, but it at least allowed me to drive where I wanted to when I wanted to without having a mechanic living in the passenger seat. Ultimately, whatever the car, it is simply transportation, and if it doesn't run reliably, it's not serving any purpose at all. I might also point out that the M635 was still a great car, just not quite in the stratospheric league of the Aston...
