Wow, stunning! I am looking to take the leap into supercar territory hopefully this year. I'm looking at the V8V pre-owned with 10k miles. You can pick these up in the UK for Ģ40,000

Insurance will probably cost as much as the car for you, Dino.

Not at all Wes pal! Insurance has become very reasonable in the past 12 months. My year 1 insurance quote on a Smart car was Ģ3300 and then dropped the following year to Ģ600. To insure the V8V its going to be 3k at most.

3K! That's a watch

Insurance has gotten silly for young drivers these days, about time they crack down of all the false injury claims, I had a car reverse into me in traffic and then try to claim four lots of whiplash, scum had taken their reverse lights out and tried to blame me!

Do it!
IMO Aston is the most elegant car ever designed. The gorgeous curves exude pure sophistication.
If you do get a V8V, see if you can jump to an S. The one downfall of most Astons is their lack of power. But the car is so well balanced on track. Almost as good as a Lotus (which is my first love).
Some pics of my previous V8V Nurburgring Edition and Casino Royale DBS




And of course, my absolute favorite car genius is Colin Chapman...."add lightness."

Here is the N24 we won Class 2 in and finished second overall at the 2008 Silverstone 24 hour, no Rolex on my wrist though as I was sponsored by Chronoswiss throught my career.

Hi Tom, I took the last year off due to a back injury and also had another baby.
I'm hoping to get back into LotusCup next year...will likely move to an Evora.

Everytime I see your track P car, I get jealous. What series do you race in, SCCA?
