Re: I'm going to spoil myself this weekend
I would love to, but the ground conditions where I'm going to build have boulders the size of small houses. The blasting would cost a fortune to go deep enough for a underground garage. I've got a lot of open space which I can build on. I'm going for a 40 car garage at the moment and then eventually have plans to abe able to expand to a 80+ car garage though

Pic's!
Re: I'm going to spoil myself this weekend
Your pics are not loading for me Mike. If they are the dark studio-like PR shots from aston, i have seen those but can not make a decision based on those. You have to see the real car in a real place like the Vantage shots above to really decide good or bad.
Re: I'm going to spoil myself this weekend
just read this, impressive
Although the V12 engine weighs 100 kg more than the standard car’s engine, intelligent use of lightweight materials and components including carbon ceramic brakes, lighter forged aluminum wheels, lightweight inner rear quarter panels and optional lightweight seats have resulted in the overall kerb weight being only 50 kg heavier than its V8 sibling. The ensuing weight distribution provides for balance that is near perfect (51:49).
Exclusively available with a six-speed manual transmission, the gearbox uses a transaxle configuration to aid weight distribution.

Nice to know I'm getting my monies worth 
Here are pics of the One-77 from another server.
Re: I'm going to spoil myself this weekend
Thanks, those are new ones for me.
Gee I don't know, those rear hips are awfully big. Makes it look like an early 911 turbo. 
Maybe its the lens on the camera.
The front looks like a 612. Not sure I like this. I need to see more pics.
The V12 vantage is still in the lead. I would like to hear the exhaust sound from both.

On this image it is one of the beste rear fenders! Just look at how much tension is in that surface which makes the rear wheel arch!!! Fantastic design!!!

Re: I'm going to spoil myself this weekend
ed_moree:From this view yes, the rear fenders look massive and very masculine. But viewed from the opposite direction from the front, I think those rear fenders are just too much. Coke bottle shape at a car is fine even nowadays, just have a look at the fantastic body of the 997 models (especially AWD), but what Aston Martin created here is simply over the top in my eyes.

I agree with you Rossi, but the truth is that this being the first not a scale down or up of an existing Aston, I really like it and I like the Aston´s courage to over do it.
About the 997 I like more the 997 GT2... viewed three quarters from the back... awesome!!!
