June 17th, a nice Vanquish, my first one on the road

[TT]

Strange the world isn't it? while Ferraris are pretty common around here, Astons are a rare sight, and I mean RARE! Even the DB7 is hard to spot. The only Vanquish I saw so far beside car shows was the one at the Supercar rally 2003 in Geneva!

Since I started taking my pics last year, I got only two DB7:

My 567th picture...


And the 584th one, the day after...


So I was quite amazed when today, while I was parked after I picked up my girlfriend, this car passed by in the opposite direction_



And shit, as you can see, in that place you can't really make an U-Turn (check the middle white line)... but well.. a Vanquish is a Vanquish, so I simply jumped on it! And who cares anyway traffic was light and I managed to be behing him in 10 seconds, thanks to two consecutive green lights!

This one was worth also an high-res of course


And going uphill after the next red light he pushed a bit on the throttle, filling Lausanne with one of the best sounding engine ever built! Sublime!

After a while I preffered giving up since it was pointless to keep following him taking pics just the last goodbye sadly not worth a big version because of the reflections on the windshield of my car.
