I'd have any of the current Astom Martins. Living out here on the Left Coast, there is a never ending parade of cool stuff and the Aston Martins just seem to have a low key, almost secret coolness about them. About once a month I see a DB9 on Coast Hiway just north of Laguna Beach. The guy driving it is usually wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

Here's the difference between a mini supercharger, and one off an early Aston Martin Vantage....




As you can see the Aston's supercharger is huge!!!!

Oh crap. Now someone will try to bolt that thing on to a Mini. People will ask for numbers. Testing will be done in a top secret location by shadowy persons with no names on a car with out a VIN number. Yep, I agree.

I didnt take those ......these are actually from the Aston website but the car I saw was same color. Oh by the way you thought Mini's configurator is cool you should check out Aston Martins Configurator......talk about custom.
