Watch your fingers on that keyboard Dare, it's AstOn, not AstIn, must be something to do with humping those big balls down the alley.

That's the Ky translation old chap

[lkjohnson1950]

Uh-oh. By misspelling AstOn, you are disqualified from any further opinions on this subject. 

[Dare]

I stand corrected.One question when did they change the name
to Aston?I distinctly remember James Bond driving a Astin Martin

[lkjohnson1950]

Don't know what James Bond reference you mean, but the people who sell them think it's Aston Martin:

And Carroll Shelby won the 1959 Le Mans 24 in an Aston Martin DBR-1

I think I'll put a copyright on the name Astin Martin just in case Aston
Martin try to swipe  it.

Instead of the Aston Martin One-77, maybe Dare was thinking of an Austin 7.

[lkjohnson1950]

Yeah, More his speed.

[Dare]

Yeah, More his speed.

I wish

Dull review but what a car!

Sneak peak at the new 740 hp Ferrari:

I seen that pic on World of Car Fans myself. Made me go all tingly. 

Makes the new Lamborghini look a bit 1980's IMO.

[Scott]

I haven't seen a Lambo that didn't look a bit (or a lot) 1980's.  I'd say the 620 has some borrowed looks though...did they hire someone from Aston?

Don't see it Scott, there isn't much Aston in the design IMO. I thinks it's unmistakably Ferrari V12 GT.

[Scott]

I think Ferrari has adopted big Aston-like grills in the past few years (most Ferrari's used to have below bumper, split grills/intakes, while this one isn't.  Although there is perceptibly no bumper on the 620, the grill is quite large).  Anyhow, the more I look at GT's from the 60's, I see where they directed the design team.  No offence David...
