    I'd probably go for the M6. Hate to say i wouldnt go for the aston but it just didnt have the power of that M6!

    BUT if i could afford an M6 then i'd probably get a year old DB9

    I'll have the Ascari then.... I mean you know.. if you can choose between the cars you can't afford.

    No wait make that the kungomusta XLI SLI GTX its one I just invented, runs on hydrogasoxydepetrolgastankfuel, has 50billion nm torgue and grips like a meteor hitting earth at 50.00000000000 kilomiles an hour.

    Please wear a seatbelt when driving this one.

    Hmmm, those 3 cars.

    Never would have a 911, simply don't like the shape.

    The M6 is a V10, so the noise would most likely do my head in after 5 minutes.

    It's the Aston. And I don't think I'd ever moan about it being slow.

    out of the 3 it would have to be the 911.

    Not keen on modern astons and i dont fancy a blinged up 6 series thanks, no matter how powerful it is.

    That thing about "using all the power". It was wet ffs. Do it in the dry and then see how fast the m6 is. Admittedly it rains here a lot, but still.
    Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors.

    I cant help feeling that on those roads in the wet a 4wd Audi would have seen them all off. But I suppose that wouldn't have been a coupé. No matter how fantastic the BMW is, and how much power it has, I could never get over its horrendous styling and *that* nose (I'm sure some will disagree, but then I'm not buying the car for you). They were wrong about the Aston being a footballers car, it's too cheap for that and nowhere near bling enough.

    They missed the important negative point about the Aston, and that is that it suffers from Porsche Boxster syndrome. i.e. the person who bought it only bought it because they couldn't afford the proper 911. Then again the 911 always suffers in public perception because it doesn't have a prancing horse on the bonnet. You can't win at that game. All I know is that if I had that beemer in the drive, I'd be a grey suit wearing manager with a set of golf clubs, which sounds like hell to me. I wonder how long the new fashion for having V10 engines will last now that F1 has gone back to V8s again.

    Hopefully not that long.

    To my mind it's the most disgusting sound an engine can make. And that includes 2 stroke scooters.
