Donal, you're wasting your breath,

Oh I don't know. He has stopped using
the phrase "Well regarded", which normally
appears in every post.

Bob can't understand the mystique of
a DB9 anymore that he could understand why you'd want to drive a '52
Bentley Mk VI.

Pure Beauty and Soul. What a georgeous car.

The Evo X is NOT well regarded. It's one of the most highly rated cars
EVER. Reviews for it's performance are raves. So well regarded is for
Toyotas. Carnet just reviewed the Evo X and concluded that "it is
quite simply without equal." During their hard driving test of the Evo
X, Top Gear said. "There is no car that handles like the Evo; it's
quite astounding."
I guess they "regarded it well!

Pretty car. Let us know when you get one! Will it be soon? What are
driving now?

I was a passenger in one a few times some years ago. Some people brag
about "new car smell", being in this was more like being in a clean tack
room. Hand finished burled walnut....leather.... just beautiful inside
and out. I think top speed was about 95, but that was a bonus, you just
wanted the ride to last forever...

Sounds like the 1950 Hudson Hornet. Loved the Walnut.

I am jealous. Were you in the hardtop or the opentop version?

Both look nice, but the opentop looks utterly magnificant!

I bet that Bob just thinks that they look old-fashioned.

Would I prefer to be a passenger in a Bently Mark VI or
the driver of an Evo? I know which I would choose.

Bob?

Since I have owned MG-TD series cars I actually have some experience
in this area and with real classics. Of course they look "old
fashioned." That's the point.

Choose for what? Cruising or hard driving? Hmmmm?

You really don't get it, do you?


The choice is between a Bently Mark VI and and
Evo.

You reveal your character by choosing the Evo.


Cruising.... Hard driving... looking at... standing beside
sitting in... smelling... feeling.... touching, .....
even just touching the door handle ... of a
Bently Mark VI......

You can take a man out of the bog, but you cannot
take the bog out of the man.

Someone who loves driving most of all. The same type of person who
prefers a Miata to a Z4 or a Lotus Elise over a BMW 335i. Or a 135i
over a Infiniti G35s.
Donal, you need many more lessons before you'll understand what a
specialty car is and the kind of person who buys one. It's about
handling refinement, feedback and balance. It's not about raw power.
That's why the poor DB9 trails most serious sports cars in every
respect important to driving. And that's why a Evo X bests the Aston
in many respects on handling finesse and why the GT-R bests in EVERY
respect. The Aston is a AMC Gremlin compared to the DB9.

And before you say anything more to wet your own bed, consider that
the GT-R is capable of 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and can handle a skidpad
WELL over a full G. It handles even better than the Evo X. No car made
today can touch it. And guess what? The build quality is higher than
the DB9.

Now that's funny! Bob you slay me. How you get people to take this crap
seriously enough to argue with you is a real art. You are the master.

Was the hard top, two tone, white and black Donal.. I'd be the
passenger too.
