They are both discussing rubbish cars. I'm surprised
at Oz, because I thought that he had some taste in
these matters.

I'm not surprised that Bob is looking at these second rate
supercars. It fits his modis operandi.

Donal, even my Evo 9 would run rings around the Aston on anything but
the M1.

Have a look at this purpose built pocket rocket and you will be
impressed I'm sure..drive one and you'll be astounded.

It might run rings around a DB9 in terms of speed.
But, in terms of class???

I knew that Bob wouldn't understand, but I thought that you
would.

Let's put it this way. Imagine that we both turn up at the casino
in Monaco. Which car will get a parking space at the front
of the Casino? You know the answer! Your Evo will be directed
towards the rear of the building. The Aston will get a space
beside the main entrance.

Speed isn't everything. Some places still appreciate pure
class.

Your Evo has power.
The DB9 has Power, **Beauty** and **Soul**.

If you can ignore the beauty and soul, then an Evo is
suitable for you. However, I challenge you to take
a test drive in an Aston and not realise that all those
other so-called supercars are nothing but heaps
of crap.

Regards


Donal

He needs it badly. Did you see how he wants HIS car in the front of
the casino? That's a pretty sad comment. In the states we call
enthusiast cars like the Evo "Q cars" which means they are sports cars
that draw less attention and have a better chance of (literally)
flying under the radar. They are cars for drivers, not sad sacks like
Donal who need to be defined by parking spots!

Good lord!

BTW, Donal...I'm reconsidering the MR version. I still have about a
week to decide. I'm also shifting away from gray and back to red or
silver. We may also pick up a new Outlander SUV as Suzanne wants
something new for around-town shopping and taking Thomas to the parks
& boat.
The nav system in the Evo (and outlander) plays DVDs, but goes black
if you exceed 5 MPH. A patch is available online to make it so you can
watch DVD's while driving...not a great idea, but there if you want
it.

Oop! This was meant for Ozzy!

Sorry, Donal. I know you can't have a fun "anything."

No, it loses in CLASS too. You just don't get it. Enthusiast drivers
want the BEST handling, not the best seat stitching. The DB9 gets
casino respect, but as a drivers car it's not near the top of the
class.

Wow. You really need some attention. I'd hate for my car to be used in
that way. I just want the most fun driving and top class handling, so
I guess the Evo X was a great choice.



Speed isn't everything. Some places still appreciate pure
class.


Only superficial clods think that way...DONAL. Most educated folks now
know that labels and skins fall a distant second to actual
performance. Cars like the Evo or STI didn't get to be top dogs by
offering value, they did it by BEATING other cars, picking off
automotive legends one-by-one. Beauty and soul are very personal
tastes. If you liked driving and were any good at it then perhaps
you'd know why the Evo is already being tested in stock trim against
exotics. It usually doesn't win, nor is it expected to. But it does
very well, and sometimes better in certain respects...and it has room
for REAL back seats! Top Gear called the DB9 rear seats a joke!
So again...no thanks.




If you can ignore the beauty and soul, and accept a car that offers a better driving experience than the DB9 and can be used in rain and snow, then an Evo is
suitable for you.


Well said, Donal!

First time I ever saw 2 guys arguing about who is more pretentious.
But I don't get to Monaco much.

My wife drives an MX5 (Miata to you Bubbles) It's a fantastic drive
and one of the prettiest cars on the road.
Nothing like the Evo but great fun...especially in our usually superb
weather.
