Only With An Aston
“I watched “Spectre” as soon as it arrived at the cinema and of course I have not lost a 007’s movie since I was a young kid, just for the cars, especially for the Aston Martin. I had a DBS and I replaced it with this Vanquish Volante, ‘cause a convertible car was a whim I wanted to take off for a long time. Most of the time I take the Aston on weekends, and with good weather, so for enjoying it to the fullest, I thought that it was time to cruise with the hair, the few I have left , in the wind and breathe the deepest driving pleasure and the sound of the V12. In addition, the Vanquish has something that only a limited number of other cars have, that is the obsessive attention to detail, the pursuit of beauty in every single spot, so that precise something will not only be functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The seats, for example, or the center console, the rear lights and the same ignition key, are a source of pride only for the few members of an exclusive club like the Aston Martin drivers’ one. And then, when you have 570 horses under the hood and a comfortable and fast grand tourer, able to do whatever you ask her, you realize that maybe your second car is completely unnecessary and only useful when I have to delve in the chaos of the city, where I can leave that a little ‘anywhere, something which with the V.V. I would never do. When I park the Aston, if I am not convinced, I often get in and look for a new place to leave it: more often it ends up that I leave it just in front of me, where I can protect her. I will be strange, but it’s my baby, I love it, and she perceives that.”
