The cars and bikes thread!

The color of the Jag I saw as mentioned was a darkish green. I should clarify, it didn't look like British racing green to me, it was more of a grayish green (on an overcast day).

I just checked on the website, I think what I saw was Giola Green which is flipping amazing looking in person. I can't get it out of my head.

Further reading (at least from one reviewer) suggests that the manual is the wrong option for this car, I love manuals, but I might... might be willing to accept an auto for this one. I can't believe I just said that (sorry, Raza) but as long as I have at least one car with a manual trans (Lotus), I'd be OK making that concession. I think.

Not that I can do it right now anyway (unless I sold the Lotus). Just dreaming.


Edit: checking goolge for this color, there seems to be some variability, maybe due to light, but this represents the color I saw on that overcast day pretty closely, but the car had the dark tans seats, which was a great looking combo.

Ah, here we go, though in this photo, the green seems a bit more blueish, but that could be due to different lighting:

I just had a look at the configurator (for fun) and was playing with the colours:
Is this a typo ?...



£ Ten grand for a paint option ? !

Guess they're trying to go upmarket. Lambo and ferrari charge that, and more.

All the cars you see here are coming up for auction ...
Hmmmm, Dutch Auction perchance?

I dig a brightly coloured car. Too many greys and whites and blacks.

I don’t think bright colors become Astons—they’re far more dignified than proper super cars. Orange is more of a Lamborghini or Mclaren color to me. But a DBS Volante 6 speed is certainly one of my dream cars.

I do like it in red, though:


It’s definitely on the list of my lottery cars. Perfect for road trips.

... and in today's news:

The proposed 2030 UK ban on the sale of petrol & diesel cars is to be delayed by 5 years.

No further comment.
