No it looks like a rep mobile.

Gotta be the aston, class and got a bit of poke as well.

Porsches have some design flaw by which any person is transformed into a total c##t as soon as their rse touches the seat. And, every hair gelled squash playing c##t of an estate agent in town has one too.
The maserati... well it's the usual wop form-before-function ethos. So it won't work, and it'll just look tarty.
The jag is lovely but doesn't seem to have much special about it compared to the aston.

Then again that's my taste, I don't see the fuss about ducatis, and I'd rather have something with more of a fun than serious attitude to it, preferably something a bit bonkers, maybe a little bit orange and quite possibly quite a lot Austrian. So, he should get a KTM X-bow!

If I had £50k to spend on a sports car, I'd spend £30k on a Boxster or S2000 and squander the rest.......................


.....then again this is my idea of a sports car, I'll get my coat.........

My dad told me he saw a maseratti filling up the other day. £90 of shuper unleaded

Would have to be the porsche outta them lot for me.

Personally, I'd be getting meself a GT500 (or if too much, the standard mustang (£15,000 on autotrader)) and using the rest to insure myself and pay for its drinking habbit and trying to adapt the handling to what its race brothers use in the GT series.

BTW if any of you happen to have an R8 and feel this way then just let me know and i'll happily come round and drive it away for you
I would be torn between the R8 and a 911 if was ever lucky enough to have the choice. I would wait for the V10 R8 out later this year.
