Sweet find Icy-J, it looks badass in black!

@KingJosh: I believe it's the first Austin-Healey model, a '53 100 BN-1.
 
Nice little car show from a couple weeks ago.

Apparently this was the most expensive car in the world at one point. Elvis had one and all the interior trim was done in 24 karat gold.

Right, so I went to the Aston Martin showroom with a friend, and the "Sales Specialist" was extremely nice, letting us in all of the Astons :P .

Virage. Extremely comfortable, although the 2 + 2 seating arrangement is a joke.

V8 Vantage N420 Edition.

V8 Vantage Volante.

V12 Vantage.

V8 Vantage S.

Rapide.

DBS Carbon Black.

He also started up a V12 Vantage, with a nice little rev. Sounded AMAZING.



After, he asked us if we wanted to see something "really cool". I literally had no idea what he had in store for us, so you can imagine the look on my face when I saw this:

And not just one, but TWO (!!!!) One-77s.

To top it all off, he made me give him my number, so he could call me to see when I'm available for a test drive.

Good day (:
 
:drool:

Words can't describe...

I love Aston Martins, that must have been great walking around there.
 
Cool! Looks like a similar experience to mine, but doubled! I think one of those cars is owned by the same guy who owns the Aston HK One-77 here in Hong Kong.

I would guess nearly all 2+2 seating arrangements are jokes.

Bet the Astons were wonderful! 👍 The One-77 looks to be a fantastic car.

Had a drive in the Virage the other day. The rear seating is even more cramped than you would expect. It might as well be a 2-seater, there is ZERO room between the front and rear seats - nothing. On the other hand the cabin is a lovely place to be. It's really bright in there, at least in the cream leather one I was in and the visibility is great compared to how narrow the windows look from the outside.

Haha yeah, although I don't really see the point in owning 2 One-77s :P

They were :D

Yeah, even with the front seats pushed as far front as they can go, there's only around 3 cm of leg room. Not enough. But the cabin is indeed one of the best interiors i've been in. Insanely comfortable.

Visibility's good, although it is hard to visualize the car around you, as the bonnet sort of .. disappears. Hard to explain :P

Awesome. I've heard its mainly Porsches there, is that true?
 
Mm yeah, Porsche & BMW mainly, but also lots of Clio's, Suzuki Swifts and Honda's. I could post all the Porsches I took a picture from but I'd end up posting about 200 pictures (from 1 day) and that's not gonna work I'm afraid :sly:

Have you forgotten to whom you are speaking?!? Post them all! If they're anything near as mental as this one, we'd be in for a treat.

I'll make a collection of various cars.
 
I didn't know what that was either.

Anybody know this one?


It wasn't in the race but did a few laps earlier that day.
