On my was back from collecting a leather interior for the touring (512 miles round trip!) i indulged in a little fun with another car.

Suffice to say he kicked my ass quite easily but then he couldn't carry a full leather interior like me!!

Just thought i'd share the picks of him 'putting the boot in'!

I'm gonna look stoopid if i get this wrong but i assume from the fuzzy pics that's a DB9.

Very nice. Worth sacraficing the load lugging abilities if you get one of them. :drool:

C.B. I found the pics too dark to make out the car too... i was torn between the aston and believe it or not...a volvo s40 (from the tailgate profile) they look verty similar in shadow profile.

But yea, i thought it was an aston too, with the exception of that tailgate. :stupid:

LOL at all the guessing!

Yeah sorry i forgot to mention, it is indeed a 575. It sounded the bollocks as he came past me on over-run too.

Made a nice change to see someone using the car properly, and not just cruising about like an old fart.

Oh well at least i wasn't the only one to have the Volvo thought cross the mind.

Still feel like a heathen for not recognising a Ferrari. :banghead:
