I like it.

I think I've got to hand this one to you Brits:

Aston-Martin DB9 Volante:

soooo many cars run through my head when i think of this.... but if i had to choose 1....

De Tomaso Pantera (any year). Italian styling and ford smallblock pushrod power

I cant stand big ostentatious cars like that. dunno why...

Aston Martin DBS - the DB9, but better.

Got to go with the ultimate classic

Yeah, but the roof doesn't come down. I live by the beach, dude.

Honorable mention - the ultimate Englishman, driving the ultimate expression of British motoring - a Volvo

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet 8)

Roger Moore, as Simon Templar, drove that Volvo in the original BBC series "The Saint." The show originally called for a Jaguar, as the epitome of English-ness, but Jag was on strike at the time and couldn't supply the vehicle on time. Moore offered to allow the use of his own car, and the rest his history.

I think it's better looking than many period Jag's in all honesty.

What about this, and it gives you your soft top:

my dad had a soft top once, a Triumph of some form I thinl Might not have been. I hated it. Sounded and performed nicely. I just dont like top down motoring.

Triumph? Probably let in more water with the top up than down...

Ian - what's the one in the foreground, a '70's XKE? Pretty, but there's something about the A-M.

he did indeed, a horrible yellowish Triumph Stag such as this below.

Yes, it's an e-type Jag. The one in the background is an XKR (the supercharged version of the XK8).
