Hell yeah man. My first car was a silver '84 RX-7. It was a base model, but it was manual, which was all I cared about. Lovely little car to drive.

I think that is 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage that I posted, so the specs might not be correct.

I`m glad you know your Aston Martin`s

This is art, but very cool IMO, and cars that don't really exist.

Garage List
1961 Bentley S2 Drophead Coupe.

This car was built as a four-door saloon and converted to a DHC when new by H.J. Mulliner. During this period, Bentley and Rolls-Royce produced similar cars, with the Bentley appealing to customers who wished to avoid the ostentation of the Rolls-Royce grille.

Bentley was owned by Rolls-Royce from 1931 to 1971.

Some selections from Dino's new Tokyo Auto Salon video, complete with designer ADRO hitting the nail on the head as to why the G-series G80/82 grill looks so off-putting (the nose/nostrils are above the eye line).

Enjoy.
