I have to tell someone ...
I know, I know, what does this have to do with the E60.... Nothing, but this population is one that I know will understand my excitement. A client of mine recently bought a Aston Martin Vanquish S and I have been all over him to let me get behind the wheel .... OMG . Gentlemen, and Ladies, pure driving pleasure. The ultimate...., hell, just standing outside the car was like being in the presents of royalty. Sitting behind the wheel was like fondling a goddess. And driving, well let?s just say I felt like a 14 year old that just made love to a porn star. Something I'll never forget, something I wish I had done slower and more deliberate and something I will talk about for the rest of my life.
I feel better already ..

Probably my favorite car 
Would have loved to have been able to be there with you!!! Doubt I'll ever be able to afford the Vanquish but if I try hard enough I sometimes think I might almost be able to rationalise a Vantage..... then the reality of the mortgage payments step in and ruin it for me
