So I had a date with a "British Lovely"

[Rovert]

Yep,

There are women who are beautiful. And then there are women who are stunning. This woman that I had the opportunity to be with for a one night....was stunning beyond belief. No matter what was worn or not worn, stood a lady with class, curves, smoothness, and exquisiteness. She's part of the Martin family but whenever I heard her speak, she said she'd rather me use Aston followed by her family name. Her shape and the way she stood screamed sportiness which she commented on her fanboys and fangirls calling her Rapide.

And now...my friends, my new friend:

At a glance, Rapide looks like a coupe

Her 1000 watt sound system created natural sounding audio which was crisp and clear! The sound you her when someone walks up to you blindly whispering in your ear, sending tingling through your spine. She's so new the protective film wasn't even pulled off the base of the power retracting tweeters.

The next morning showed how dirty she got overnight. Special thanks to my professional detailer and good friend Terence, Aston had a grrrreat time:

The memories that this Brit has given will last a long time. I'll forever remember the tunnel run, as she belched our her Alto V12 roar and exited the tunnel like a bat out of....well you know where. ;)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Great pictorial, Trevor. Love Aston Martin.

[mimalmo]

Aston's have some of the best sounding exhausts. Great pics Trevor!

[danewilson77]

Ahem....thats your car Trevor? Gulp.....

[Rovert]

If I had that the 330 would be gone...since it's not that special! LOL. I was amazed by it's balance of power and handling. I ripped it like I did my 330 in certain familiar corners and the grip the car had was great along with predictability of it's RWD system. Having all that power made it so much easier to step the back out when I wanted it to even at low speed. I loved it...I can't believe I felt confident enough to slip the car when it's worth the majority of someone's Condo mortgage. LOL.

:eyetwitch I'm an ENFORCER!!! :biggrin

[danewilson77]

OK...not your car......Congrats on Enforcer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rovert]

For value I'd take the Panamera Turbo for $180 over the $230 for Aston. There's some old technology in the Aston that I don't like as the Turbo has much newer up to date tech and even more performance for 50 large ones less! But for looks....Aston has it over the Panamera. Which one would you pay more for at that price? LOL

[danewilson77]

I would take the Porche - One Hundred and eighty dollars please. Heck...I can probably pick one up next week if they're that price.

I'll get one for each kid too!

Dude, the Porsche is in no way worth paying less. If I was to create a floater in the toilet, it would look much better than the Panafugly.
If I had to choose between the two, I wouldn't choose either. I'd pick an M5; just as fast for a lot less money.
I personally think the new F10 M5 is going to look a lot sweeter than the Aston. At least in my eyes. The Aston's looks are actually dated; they've been designing their cars the same way for a long time, just like Porsche. The only difference is that the Porsche, unless it's a 911/Cayman/Boxster, just gets uglier and uglier.

I'm very upset at the design choices Porsche is making.

[tripod06]

i just had visual sex with a car

[Rovert]

You should have been inside it at the controls while giving her accelerator pedal a swift squeeze until it stopped. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm......memories.

[M3TA5IN]

Did you see TopGear with the Porsche Panamera Turbo, Maserati Quattroporte GTS, and the Aston Martin Rapide? The sound the Maserati made, well I had to change pants :/

[Rovert]

Yeah I saw that episode. Awesome stuff!

[gr330zhp]

Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn :drool:

Such a sexy car!! Awesome pics Trevor!
