I came, I drove, I ran away. It's a sow's ear decorated as a silk purse. It feels freekin heavy and there's no stopping power on the brakes. No way could I own one of these. The engine is nice though as are some of the fitments, but it's no driver's car.

Consortium headed up by Mr Pro Drive himself, Dave Richards.
Pro Drive build the Subaru WRX cars (the real ones), and runs the Aston Martin racing team.

Now an AM built with Pro Drive quality - that would be worth looking at!!
Glad you turned down the DB7 - It's like putting lipstick on a pig!
My buddy got a road tax refund as his DB7 spent most of the year back at AM with the usual tranny issues.
'bout as useful as a chocolate tea cup!
