No video because there was some speed. It was modified and very loud! It wasn't very powerful but it was much more fun than any of the other supercars I had ridden in.

That's neat! I've never even seen one in real life.

They're beautiful in real life. Pictures don't do it justice. Especially with the carbon fiber splitter, carbon skirts, and lowered suspension.

Call it a cliché, but I passed by a V8 Vantage and leaves were slowly falling on it. I fell in love with it. Again .

This car is absolutely beautiful. Better looking than current 911s and even than the F-Type. I can't see anything wrong with its design...

... apart from the fact that I can't afford it...

... for now. One day..

Wow, really? They're about as rare as an R8!

I've ridden in and/or drove some pretty cool stuff, but the time I got to ride in a DB9 stands out. My Z06 may be faster, but hot damn, I will never forget the sound of Dat V12.

As supercars go, used Vantages are actually something of a bargain.

I mean, it's still not cheap, but for perspective, the cheapest (new) 3-series you can get will run you £23,000. Would you get the BMW?

(Just so we're clear, I still most certainly couldn't afford either. My car cost me £950.)

(One day.)

(Well, probably not.)

(Maybe...)

Well, the upfront cost is something, but then come all the others:

-insurance (i'm 25..)
-taxes (depends on country though)
-past maintenance / maintenance costs (probably the biggest concern)
-mpg (probably the least worrying, i'd be OK with 20mpg if the car's worth it)

I'm most definitely not able to afford one right now, but I sure as hell hope that one day I will. Now I just gotta make happen! Which happens to be the trickiest part!
