Not a VX sighting, but...

But this was just about as good. I had a close encounter with an Aston Martin DB7 Vantage today.... schweeeet!

saw a Vanquish on the way back from San diego. The thing flew by me doing more than 100 MPH! Funny thing I wasn't pissed off since it was nice to see an owner actually using it not worrying about bug splatters. Minutes later I see the vanquish owner on the side of the road with a cop writing him a ticket!...Some time later the Guy blows right by me again! By the time I pulled into Gila bend to fill up I noticed the Vanquish parked while his lady was stretching and having something to drink and eat. From close up the car is much nicer in person.

P.S. of course the GF was HOT! The owner looked like the actor from the movie DUNE and played in Sex and the City but with his shades on I couldn't make a positive ID.



P.S. Last one I now carry a small throw away camera in my car for these strange moments

That's a pretty good sighting to have - they only make 300 of those a year, I think, and it's an all new Aston Martin (DB7 is loosely based on the Jaguar XJ-S).

Funny how some people don't realize what kind of car that is. people just walked on by it like nothing. The Vanquish is the only one I like from Austin.
