Just posted an article on how I think the Stroll Era might end at Aston Martin given their current financial condition and dramatic drop in the stock price:

Re: Supercar Definition
A lot of the tech Porsche put in the 959 has not aged well and is absolutely eye watering to repair.

Hyper-car was an unnecessary designation created because too many cars that weren't Supercars were being given that moniker.

Re: Supercar Definition
I’ll allow it… Just :) Didn’t many people think is didn’t deserve the GTO moniker??? Edit - actually No, it’s not a Supercar. It’s a special version of an existing car that isn’t sufficiently different to warrant the title. Actually it really isn’t. 599 GTO is based off of the 599 FXX track car and...

Re: Supercar Definition
Hum, interesting take but I think your definition of 'supermodel' would be my definition of supercar. I'd put particularly focus on the road presence, they need to be rare enough that it's out of the ordinary for an average person to see one, but not necessarily super limited production. Track perf...

Re: Insights on Ferrari's & Aston Martin's Q1 Results
More recently the v8 vantage and db9 sold well because they were pretty. The replacements weren’t. Then the dynamics pace and price come into it and people start to concentrate on “flaws” instead of “character”. Like how old alfas are unreliable as hell but people put up with it because pretty Agre...

Re: Insights on Ferrari's & Aston Martin's Q1 Results
I don't claim to understand the details of this but the overall picture is clear - Chalk and cheese - Ferrari going from strength to strength and Aston going for the Bin. As someone who lives in Newport Pagnell, it's pretty sad to see An 8th bankruptcy for Aston Martin does seem quite possible now.

Re: SCG 004S Test Drive & First Impressions
Sounds like it could be quite the drivers car with the heavy clutch sorted. And a cupholder :lol: My guess is I will not find the clutch quite as "heavy" given my car history. Your 6'3" broad-shouldered buddy shouldn't be skipping leg day :D I will pass that along........from a safe ...

Re: Our Maseratis: The Granturismo Cabrio & a New Arrival
Masers are the biggest let down of my motoring life unfortunately. A mate had a Quattroporte (he'd had it straight piped and it sounded epic) and I borrowed it for a couple of days to use as a prom car for my eldest. The gearbox (F1) was appalling, the build was far worse than my TVR and the thrott...

Re: Our new McLaren 765LT Spider
Very nice. 8-) Possibly the same hue as @revsRus ’s 600LT :?: Your comments on the steering on this and other Macca’s is one thing that I mentioned after Pete kindly let me take it for a spin - a real standout for weight and feel. 8-) Steering is one area that McLaren is steps above Ferrari
