Normally, modern cars leave me indifferent, they often don't have any emotions that could reach me. But yesterday, this Aston Martin was driving behind me and also parked at the wine merchant. What a car! In my eyes, a very good mix of tradition and modernity. I like the classic lines, the proportions that have been preserved despite the high-tech appearance. And what a great sound.
There are so many offers that make you think of a trackday, but which look ridiculous in the city from my point of view, Lambo, McLaren etc. Maybe it's my advanced age that determines my taste. My Elise is more of a nice toy, even if it doesn't look classic. But it is not what a McLaren exudes.
I like the fact that, despite this upper class, there is a bit of understatement regarding this Aston Martin. If I've seen it correctly, it's a DBS Superleggera with 725 hp, which you perhaps don't need rationally, but which probably gives the owner a nice feeling, especially when the power comes so refined from a V12.

Speaking of owners, this is not the kind of car that invites small talk about petrol. It is rather the exact opposite of a Morgan where allways! talk generates. Anyone who drives up with 285,000€ wants to keep their distance, or at least that was the signal I got from the car alone even if the driver seemed to be a nice guy from far at least.
