Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Only any good if it's a Dolly Sprint.

The box that time forgot.

A few years back, I owned a DB7, manual coupe, and an XKR auto convertible.

The Jag was technically a far better car. But the build quality was poor. Switch gear would fall inside the dash etc. The Aston was more primitive, but a far better drivers car. Very predictable when getting the tail out. I found the Jaguar awesome, but boring. But I loved the Aston.

I am told the DB7 has serious structural issues, with rust, these days. Even low mileage ones. The engine mounts are all corroding badly. They are attached to the inner wing. Its potentially a terminal issue, given the costs involved. This is from the guy who services my Porsches, who prepares racing cars. He says he wouldn't touch one now.

Oh hello...
