IT HAS EIGHT EXHAUSTS!

I'll take three. Interesting article though - clearly the Bugatti factory isn't well ventilated enough, those exotic paint jobs have made them want to build the Galibier...

Aston Martin Sicknote

via astonmartin.com

Holy crap. I think Aston Martin is trying to break the Guinness world record for the largest shark jump in history. The Cygnet sort of looked kind of a little bit cool when it was being finished in clay and had a sort of off-white quality about it, but now you can play around with the customiser on the Aston website and spec it in Gulf Racing colours, or camouflage...oh, the humanity.

I sort of want a meteor to land on Gaydon, or for them to go dramatically bankrupt in the next month, just so that this never happens. Perhaps we'll all look back in a number of years as we sit in the CarChat bar in Schiphol airport and laugh conspiratorially, or lament our naive and carefree days. Perhaps we'll acknowledge the genius of AM's Cayenne moment, or perhaps we'll share a toast to a bygone manufacturer. Maybe we'll even have a chuckle at Daniel Craig tearing about in a two-seater city car with machine guns behind the fog lights in Risico (2011).
