I hear LeRoy Van Dyke's country classic, "Just Walk On By" as I pass these cars.

Aston Martin
No thank you.
Great comparison. A welcome change-up. I've never seen that Aston before. I like it!

Per the photo? How did you see that?

Thanks, Terry I found the specs. As I thought, it's a stormer!
182 HP, 2535 lbs. It must have been a blast to drive, particularly in the mid-fifties. I'll bet it gave the Porsche a run for its money!

On the pic, right click and save and the description will come up, most of the time it's accurate.

"Wait on the corner. I love you but we're strangers when we meet".
See George, you really do like these cars after all. LOL
Aston no Porsche no Aston no Porsche no Aston no *pzzzzzzt!* *POP*
I simply cannot decide.
Dont tell me you'd rather have some chrome laden lump of a 50s sedan from the US.
If I were sensible I would choose the Porsche, but because I'm not, I choose the Aston.
