Today I saw this car, and I was puzzeled ...looks '80s and Italian, but what is it, my guess, some kind of Maserati, what do you guys think :?:

Kind of cool looking, in an odd way...and daaamn is that hood long, it must have a large engine. :twisted:

Shoot, I was completely wrong, an Aston! I hope I at least got the '80s part right...I thought the emblem looked like Aston Martin wings, but I figured there was no way it was an Aston, and I wasn't really supposed to be taking pics of that car either, so I was in a hurry and couldn't get a very close look. ;)

Ugliest Aston Martin ever made :?

... ugly, ugly, ugly and ugly.

From any angle but dead straight on I think it looks quite nice, even elegant from some angles. Certainly different anyway!

I like it from a rear 3/4 view, like on the second pic. Don't like the front though.
I saw one in the streets years ago. I hung around because the person who apparently was the owner looked like he was going to leave. I did that for two reasons: 1) to see if it would start (unlike when the car was launched :lol: ) and 2) if it would start, what it would sound like.
I can tell you there's nothing wrong with the way it sounds! :D

512BBi sitting outside.

An F40, Viper GTS, some Panteras, 308, 355, an M3, and Porsche 944 inside; again, they don't like people taking pictures, so the 2 pics I got were shitty.

Wow, very nice rare spotting. It's the most unusal AM and the longest i think. I have only ever seen one and got one pic of the back. This pic was taken when i was on the way back from my holiday in London in 2003. I remember looking behind us and seeing it passing on the motorway somewhere in England. I only had time to get a pic of the back.

Wow! For TT to say it's a rare sight is impressive! :D

Damn, imageshack is not working for me right now, :x but when I starts working I'll post that pic bigger.

The expsoure was set to something like 10 seconds, and I was taking a pic of this road I thought would look cool...and a car came so I had to grab the camera quickly and I thought for sure the pic would just be a fuzzy mess, but I got that crazyness instead. :P
