sorry faithless, no offence intended from my side too. It was just an instant and spontaneous reaction after driving wilder, sportier, swankier and more wicked beasts.

Hey no need to apologize agent.....you can post whatever you feel bro.

I am definitely sure Dilip Chhabria (automobile designer) has an Aston DB7 Vantage although I am not sure of the colour (either a shade of blue or green). Its either a 2001 or 2002 model. His office is in Andheri(E) and workshop in Pune.

some cars that you claim you have driven raises doubts in in my head, but thats just me i guess. some cars you could say better than the vantage but others i dont think so. the only thing i missed driveing/rideing is the tricycle powered by me in childhood. you could also include the veyron, slr and the hamann edition 599 in my list.

Nope. Mr Chhabria does not own the DB7 Vantage. He was just featured along with it in an old ACI issue but he doesnt own the car.

dippy i have seen it myself with him. it is green and it was brought by aston martin themselves when DC was designing the vanquish. the car was left behind for him and did not get registered due to the duty involved. the car still lies with him i believe.

Speedy - If Dippy says that DC doesn't have the car I would take his word for it.

Speedy my friend

I completely agree with you on whatever you have said. But thats not all there is to it. There is more to the Aston tale. For more how about some PMing buddy?

WOW!!!

Thats a real great ride to have.
Is it the only one in India yet?
Also how much would it cost the owners to bring it down here considereing they need to apy almost double the amount of the car as tax. And do they bring it legally?
