My Cooper S and my Aston Martin DBS pics/vid.

Ok, the title is half true, the DBS is mine and the Mini is someone else's

Took some pictures of the two last weekend, nothing fancy. Had some fun with the Aston Martin, borrowed from a dealership

Just the DBS:

After a minute or two of driving, the POS broke down (as expected). Computer said to take it back to the dealership and drive slow

A little video, not the best but the sound of the car alone is worth it

Ok, lovely engine sound on startup, but what's with the Nissan Versa "ding ding" seatbelt reminder in a car like that?!!!!

Nah, its not mine. I would never spend my money on an Aston, it breaks down too much.

My brother works at the dealership and they let him/me borrow it, didn't keep it for too long because of the above mentioned problems with the engine etc.

So who is your lovely co-pilot for this adventure?

I'd heard that the DBS is only sold at very exclusive places and they have a private show room with it's own lounge and a giant turn table for the car. Uh, it was on "World's Most Expensive Rides," on HD Theater, I think.

That bonging is what Jeremy Clarkson complained about on other cars sometimes. Those lucky Europeans don't get that sound, and no "you forgot your key" bong either.
