Thumbs up Aston Martin DB7....really loud!

Doing 30mph on a quiet stretch of road and a DB7 pulls out of a juction some 40 yards in front then goes flat out in the opposite direction to me. My windows were down and **** was it loud...scared me a little is a bit of an understatement! ... Didn't realise they were quite scary. Puts it right up there with the 360 challenge stradale.

Still aspiring hard away

A family down the road from me have a relative or something who is pretty well loaded and comes by from time to time in either a brand new fully specced 5 Series, a huge Range Rover or in a simply jaw dropping Aston Martin V12 Vanquish.

I woke up one morning and looked out to see it sitting outside my bedroom window so I got up and grabbed my camera and went to look over it. After a while he came out and had a chat, got into it and gave it a quick squirt on the revs - even with the standard setup, the noise was like nothing I had ever heard - revs rise and fall REALLY fast and the noise was so loud I had to cover my ears. Enough to make little kids cry kinda noise

When he left he floored it off up the road - again, spectacular F1 style noise from that V12. Simply stunning.

One of my neighbours (he lives in the posh end of the village, unlike me with the "boy racer" Subaru ) has a Vanquish, and the noise is indeed awsome!!! Every morning he drives past on his way to work as I'm getting up and I always stop to listen, a bit like when Concorde used to fly over every morning, you never got bored of the nosie
