Poor Donal
doesn't own a better handling car, so he found one at 5 times the

Good Lord!
I knew that the Evo was cheap, but I didn't realise that
it was that cheap.


Is it true that the top speed is only 165 mph? If so, why do
you think that it could compete, in terms of speed, with a DB9?


Where can you do even 165MPH?


Here - and an extra 48mph on top:-

Yes indeed it can outperform the Aston.
Sort of like the all round race boat compared to the downhill sled.



Donal's not going to get it. Ever.


Get what? You seem to be concentrating
on performance alone, because the Evo fails in
every other department. Unfortunately, all the
hard evidence shows that the DB9 craps all
over the Evo in the performance department as
well.



Unambitious is not wanting people to stare at your car when you park
it?



Donal obviously believes a car's price is more important that it's
abilities.


No, Bob. I believe that sometimes you get what you
pay for. If you want to buy a cheap car that rattles
a lot, then by all means get yourself an Evo.
But, don't go boasting about it, because nobody
is going to be impressed.

Donal
