Posted July 30, 2008 * Comments(0)

What do such 3 vehicles undergo in common? They all occupy a space in my dream garage. Sure, I could’ve added a few a large amount of fantasy slots for a Ferrari 250 GTO, a Land Rover 90 and all of it in between, but the Bimmer, the Lotus and the Aston exemplify all I’ve continually wanted on two wheels: a powerful sedan, a competent track tool, and an elegant coupe. No question the occasion, I’m covered.

But there is a problem. While I’ve expended a fair quantity of minute in and almost the Elise and M5, I’ve never had the option to impel the Vantage. The Aston holds a spot on my lottery directory on looks as if it’s alone, so I arrived in San Francisco in a fair sum of trepidation. Will the V8 Vantage be anything I’ve dreamt in regards to or are able to it be the automotive equivalent of meeting my hero?
