You do shoot nice cars, don't you ...

DB are the initials of David Brown, he is the designer of the earlier Aston Martin DB series and the owner of the tractor manufacturer David Brown, which purchased Aston Martin. David Brown's tractor division was sold to Case.

PS, I know this because I live in Huddersfield where David Brown's are still based.

Well done but you only got half of it. The tractor on top is another make...

OK a little quiz. Which of you officianados can make the connection with the following images:

OK, I'll play. The silver one is Lamborghini. Tractor manufacturer Ferruccio Lamborghini become rich enough to buy a Ferrari. He didn't like clutch mechanism of his car, and came back to Ferrari complaining. I can't remember what Enzo told him, but out of this story came Lamborghini sport cars, that had better clutch mechanism than Ferrari.

Ah, Wikipedia is your best friend: Enzo told him: "Lamborghini, you may be able to drive a tractor, but you will never be able to handle a Ferrari properly".

Well done again, another who knows his cars (and tractors).
I just think its amazing that two of the top super car manufacturers in the world have beginings from agricultural engineers.

My claim to fame is that I have driven both a Lamborghini and a David Brown but unfortunately both were tractors.

A true gentlemen drives a Bristol.

I'll take a 403 please Santa.

I have to agree. In comparison an Aston Martin comes of as ostentatious

I put a Jaguar XKE on my Christmas list a few years ago and my brother gave me one. Too bad it was 1/18th scale. I guess I should have been more specific.

Cheers,

Actually, I would not mind getting a model at this point…

When it comes to real cars I believe I have to settle for something less exotic – perhaps a SAAB 96

It's OK mate, I'm Australian, so I don't mind being Austen Tayshus.
Make mine a V12 Vantage.

Do you live in Amachizit ?

[Struan Gray]

Amachizit ?

If you have to ask.....

The modern Bristols are a tad stuck in the 70s, but they do make one lovely bit of bling, the Blenheim Speedster.

My only softtop was a Morris Minor. It turned heads in Berlin well enough :-)

The front end of that thing looks hideous

[Struan Gray]

Stupid front grills that look like rodent teeth seem to be coming back in, so perhaps it's just in tune with the zeitgeist.

In any case, it's a f*ck you sort of ugliness, appropriate to a car with no proper windscreen. Apologetic ugliness is less forgivable.
