Lesley Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yes!!!!!!! back in British ownership . I do like to buy British wherever I can - now if I could just afford one Now I have more choice than a Morgan or TVR - I can't afford any of them and would never get back out of a TVR - but it's nice to have a choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Oh yes please! A DB9 would suit me nicely or should I opt for the Vanquish? Hmmm, yes, I think a Vanquish will suit my needs nicely. LSH? Wallet please . Oh if ONLY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Well that's good news. It would be really good if they were more fuel efficient though. The one I looked at for my Science homewrok a few months back only did an average of 13 miles per gallon of fuel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I looked at for my Science homewrok a few months back only did an average of 13 miles per gallon of fuel! Our Mazda does 11 miles for £5! It's not very good for the environment, but it looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Aston martin is my dream car! lottery win and I'd be straight down the aston garage with my order. It would have to be silver of course. It would be my weekend/casual use car and then Id have a brand new landrover for my general use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 You'd be amazed what you can fit in a two seater car when you put your mind to it Chest of drawers and two bedside cabinets from the spare room went into my old MX5 at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
