A few weeks ago, my wife, myself and a friend of mine hit up a local British car show. We didn’t expect much, figured a few MGs, some Minis, and a bunch of Lotus’. The usual stuff from any British car show. I was gladly mistaken, not only did we see the only Ariel Atom […] More »

The limited edition, and I mean limited, Aston Martin Lagonda got its first official pictures taken the other day. And it’s… a long sedan. Honestly, for being a one off that is only going to the Middle East, this car’s styling is a bit lackluster. Especially going to a people that built the world’s largest […] More »

Aston Martin has taken the lessons learned from the DBS and the One-77 to build the body of the new Vanquish. Like the One-77, the car makes extensive use of carbon fiber. Hollow cast aluminum was substituted for the solid stuff as well, dropping about 130lb from the weight of the DBS. With 50/50 weight […] More »

Aston Martin made a big fuss about their One-77, claiming it was their showcase piece for technology, performance, and luxury. Of course that meant that eventually someone with too much money and not enough sense would get their hands on it and put the thing into a wall. We just didn’t expect it to be […] More »
