Well, as long as you are 'The Stig', then I guess you can wear white after Sep 1.

So at $1.62 dollars per pound ... that is $281k for a V12 Vantage (?) ... a V8 Vantage goes for about $140 new ... that is quite the mark-up for 90 HP

I missed that detail ... but it only helps a little $1.43 so it's $248k vs. $140 ... still ouch .... about the same price as a DBS over here .... which begs the question DBS vs. V12 Vantage .... tough choice to make

well lets say the V12V is the better car as for handling/dynamics/track-days (very easy to drive) and the DBS is better for sheer looks and still a beast

I think the traditional date "not to wear white after" is Labor Day, Sept. 7th this year. Since it's a US holiday I don't think Germany gives a damn. Probably not a good idea at the track b/c everyone will know sooner when you scare the crap out of yourself ... Enjoy the rides!
