A complete contrast to the above ,good old days .

 

 

The Aston looks bonkers, sounds incredible and needs a metal rear number plate otherwise a plastic one would melt.

You can tell the M8 isn't a serious performance car because BMW have fitted PZero tyres to it rather than Michelin PS4S or even Cup2 tyres instead.

PS4S's are for girls......oh hang on......anyhoo I think the MPSS are still better

Watch the Valkyrie video which shows Aston using PS4S below 5C during winter testing and that's a serious performance car rather than a Hairdresser's car limited to 155mph to keep the Green Party happy in Deutsland.

MPSS have 'real man's stiff sidewalls'....grrrrrrr.

 

Bloody hopeless in wet, damp, cold, snow, ice, or days when I have fogotton my ever shrinking bag of talent, at least on my M4

Just the best SUV on the market imo.

 

Oh! Yes !!!

No idea how much it will be to buy/rent but should sound good with a Cosworth V8 behind you.

I thing it's illegal on UK track days because you wear a fez rather than a proper helmet.

I know it is very light but £56,000 is too much to pay for a 288bhp two seater 4 cylinder sports car IMHO. Might as well buy the better looking heavy Jaguar F-Type Coupe if it's all about style and decent fuel consumption for similar money.

 

Porsche not bad for £50k less outlay.

4WD compensates for the extra weight and being 120bhp down on power. 450bhp and none of it wasted unlike the McLaren which looks a real handful if you haven't got the skills of Jason Plato behind the wheel.

How about if I get someone who won't confuse the Porsche with a braking point to drive the McLaren?

Shame the thought of spending over £100,000 to get a car with a Mini Cooper engine is clearly not that appealing to those daft enough to buy on. That and all the Leicester City football squad got given a FREE BLUE one when they won the Premier League title in 2016 so if you want a bargain second hand look for a 4 year old Blue one.

117 plus on SORN kind of ties in with the number advertised on just Autotrader.

 

The nearly new seem to be a bit of a steal compared to the asking prices of ones 4 years old.
