Ahhhh.....

You can't afford a Tak?
I've been reading the posts about cars. I think that
neither you nor Oz can afford an Aston Martin.

Of course. But, they are worth every penny.
Quality doesn't come cheap.
Power, Beauty, Soul ......

Other cars are just plain ugly by comparison.

If you drive a Lambo, Bently or a Porsche you will be treated
like a football player. If you drive an Evo, then you will probably
be treated like a football player's wife.

You get treated with respect when you drive an Aston.
You would like it.

You left off Reliability.....Understandably

I don't regard $300,000 + tax and on roads as being value for money

Oh they are beautiful....

If you drive a Lambo, Bently or a Porsche you will be treated

Oh wonderful.....?

If you drive an Evo, then you will probably
be treated like a football player's wife.

Actually you'll hardly be noticed....

So, which car are you going to buy? It won't give you any more
street credibility than the Pearson 30 did. Take a test drive in
a DB9, and you will realise that the cars that you have been
looking at are just piles of crap.




Well, it's been a long time since I said the following, but Donal's
lame comments are deserving....

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The Aston Martin? Donal thinks it's got "soul" because James Bond
drove one???? Do you know that a Evo X is a better driving machine? Do
you know that it handles better and has a FAR more sophisticated
suspension and drive train system? Do you know that Evo's are one of
the definitive driving machines of the last decade in Europe and the
US? Do you know what a "tuner's car" is and the Aston Martin is NOT a
tuner's car?
Let's teach Donal something about street credibility, which he seems
to think has something to do with me driving alone on my winding
roads: The DB9 simply says "I wanted the most expensive car", not the
best driving machine. It can't compare in ANY way to the best handling
cars of which the Evo X is universally agreed on as a member.

As for the GT-R, good lord, Donal! Stop talking already. You can't
cram any more feet in. A GT-R is a supercar well beyond anything a DB9
can muster. You probably don't even understand that a driving
enthusiast doesn't want a Aston Martin over a Evo X or GT-R, two cars
with superior handling and feedback.

Enjoy!

You really don't know the meaning of "class", do you?
A GT-R is a big engine for men who fail to qualify in other
areas.

A DB-9 is for the man who already has everything.


Are you stupid enough to believe that a GT-R looks as
good as a DB-9? Do you feel hat the GT-R comes close
to the DB-9's feeling of pure luxury?

Let's face it, Bob. You have a cheap boat. You have a cheap
telescope. You have a cheap camera. You would be at
home with a cheap automobile.

The Evo will feel as good as your 8" Celestron.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! The DB9 has the BIGGER engine. The GT-R clobbers the
sad AM with a smaller motor and then manages to design a balanced car
as well. It's pretty laughable that you consider any of these cars
cheap. A loaded MR in the US is 44K and my GT-R loaded will cost me
nearly 90K. None are inexpensive cars and if you had some class of
your own you wouldn't be worried about having a car to create some for
you!

And has learned nothing.

The GT-R is FAR better inside. Now I know you haven't sat in a GT-R.
The seats are much better, designed for serious hard driving. The GT-R
also has better footwell room by far and it has back seats that are
actually usable. It's no contest. GT-R wins by a mile.


Let's face it, Bob. You have a cheap boat. You have a cheap
telescope. You have a cheap camera. You would be at
home with a cheap automobile.


Yeah, I guess my Beneteau is a cheap boat in the grand scheme of
things. I own more than one scope. One is a Televue. Good camera gear
is everywhere, but mine is better than yours. I bet you don't own a
car that handles like my car or Ozzys. You sound VERY angry,
frustrated and jealous now.



The Evo will feel as good as your 8" Celestron.


Lord, let's hope so. We've had a lot of fun with these GOTO scopes.
For a small child it's far superior to traditional scopes. Sort of
like why AWD is generally better than RWD much of the time.

Cheers,

Could I persuade you to just run your hand arcross the rear end
of a DB9?

You have a beautiful wife. Why don't you compare her rear to
the rear of a DB9?
Then, you should ask her for her opinion..... You will be
surprised at her answer. She won't be insulted that I compared
her rear with a DB9. She will give you permission to buy one.

You have extremely good taste in women, and your wife expects
you to have good taste in cars.

I have...and driven a DBS drophead....very nice, but too expensive

My wifes rear is as tight as the DB9's

Then, you should ask her for her opinion..... You will be

She loves her MX5....and oddly never liked my Dino which BTW now
resides in the UK

You have extremely good taste in women, and your wife expects
you to have good taste in cars.

I was lucky....and she likes our cars and can't wait till this one is
back together and she can sit that firm butt in it

I could buy a Tak tomorrow, but it would be inferior to my CPC scope
since it would be tougher to setup and would get less use. I'm
planning on a GT-R, which is better than an Aston Martin.
