Onwan:



I wonder why

bruv:

@fHEMMMY & Onwan; Its an amazing ride.
One most defo MUST not take wifey for a test drive in this [O.Y.O. if you do LOL]

Onwan:

The V12 will be an amazing experience, Ive never driven a V12 before and can imagine the thrill just by knowing what the V8 offers.

@Fhemmmy
With a vehicle like this one, you dont need to worry about gas; You only go to selected places - like at the close of a business deal; where you and the other party can sit in the back and conclude on cuts done deal!!

The amazing thing is that it wil remain that way for a very very long time.

Onwan:

I wonder how much paper goes into this one: Bruv, any ideas?

bruv:

@fHEMMMY; You cracking me up as well "Mr. Tomentor" LOL

Bruv cost of gas?
That aint nothing to chaps that own this ride. Prices start from $250K for a base model.
With a 48 valve V12 engine, you gotta have your Last Will updated! LOL

There are only TWO up for sale on www.autotrader.co.uk !!!

Onwan:

Thats quite a budget.

But I know you can get the same feel and quality from a 2004 DB, which should be about 100k - 150k at this time. Its like a Rolex, you dont care IF its 1999 model OR a 2010 model - once you like the shape, its what it is.

Onwan:

You can imagine a 2003 model:

Onwan:

@Bruv
You know why there are only two for sale on autotrader? - simply because owners will not want to sell, those vehicles are built to last a life-time, and you take them for granted that through the years they simply turn heads.

That is why you see such vehicles as the CL500 being very scarce for sale in Nigeria or on nairaland.

Onwan:

Yeah Bruv - Its the regular jap/chinco hype; cheap gadgets, no sturdiness - After a bit, you start thinking of the next - No second hand value.

You buy a 2010 model and its as if the whole world will stop, by next year they come out with a "better" model that makes this year's model look like a match box - they are more like flashes to me - no substance.

. . . Compared to the real things though

Fhemmmy:

Now this is what i called something out of this world.
How could they make those for just the Emirates, those people really know how to chop life.

Kai . . . . Will be nice to have one of this oh.
I wonder what the price tag on this would be.
