Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> @GreenVanMan: Triumph 2500. Originally 2.5Pi, with Lucas injeccy, then carbs as the 2500. (engine fires)

BL didn't even trust Lucas when the cars were new!

Ben Wojdyla

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> how much time did they have to spend to find that parking spot?

eVox

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> Actually, the most common reaction people had to mine was "What year Mustang is that?" *pause* "Oh, wait... what the hell is that?"

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> Fine, I'll say it because nobody else did.

DATSUN DATSUN DATSUN.

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> That's a pre-Oscar India V8, not a Vantage. (Or at least, if it IS a Vantage, it's one of the first 43 built (but not one of the first 8) and it's missing its Vantage-specific body parts.) Call it a '76 or so, but it's got '80s wheels on it.

I had one of the early V8 Vantages. There's a BIG difference between a V8 and a V8 Vantage. They're all great cars, though, at least until the rust starts.

georgejetson

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> The Vantage is around 15-16 feet long. To me that trailer looks 28-30 feet based on the car size. I've towed 20-26ft trailers plenty of times in dense areas and it's pretty stressful even without a restored Aston Martin on them. At least with the much smaller Touareg towing it he has some maneuverability. Do it with a lwb
1-ton F350 and the fun just ain't there.

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> Looks like a Mustang II from the front.

Also, excellent trailer:car ratio.

MattP

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> @beercheck: it is oddly proportioned- not only to the car, but look at the balance of it. there's three tiny wheels almost in the dead center of a gigantic, but thin trailer, with crazy graphics. oh, and some silver thing on top.

actually, i do like these AM's, but i wouldn't go so far as to call them the best. too much muscle car influence in the design. and too many awkward memories of Timothy Dalton. i'd go for a 60's or a current one, thank you.

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> The big trailer is probably the Toe-Rag's usual ride.

What are those bumps on the roof? It almost looks freshly painted but surely not.

NovaloadMissesPolar

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> When I was a teenager, the guy across the street from us had a 70's Vantage... When he started that thing up, I could hear it anywhere in the house. It was the most comforting sound ever. I would love to have it on a white noise machine. Sleep like a baby, mm-mmmm.

bmessina

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> I really like the looks of the 70's Aston Martins.

IamZardoz

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> It's a freakin' Aston Martin Vantage, and almost 20% of these comments discuss the trailer. The heart of Jalopnik is still beatin'. Contented sigh.

beercheck

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> What is with the bumps on the roof? Is that just some ice, or is there some sort of body damage?

bygeorge

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> That is so much prettier than the DB9 I saw today, and about as common around here (rural SW NH).

Wow.

FuzzyPlushroom

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> Damn,So that is what they call a trailer queen.

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> Why is it that no matter how many totally gorgeous cars I see here, it's always the incomplete ones that get me.

I actually gasped when these pics showed up.

Smells_Homeless

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> This is one of my all time favourites... and surely my fav. Aston of all. Been once at a Aston meeting in S. Moritz.... where there were 30 of them.. . heaven!

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> GORGEOUS! I would SO tap that... and if any damn dragons get in the way, they're history.

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> Bestest Aston there ever was.

Get that bitch back into the JFG, now!

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> I like the steelies on the trailer. A couple sets of dog dishes and she's done.

jbarrow

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> i like the moon eyes decals on the trailer

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> Doesn't the front of that look like a Chevy Vega?

mweaver

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> @biminitwst: Too beautiful for this world, as seen by it's reluctance to take the streets for its own.

Dream on Vantage, dream on.

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> I've never seen a car trailer that big in Europe.

-chet

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> That has to be one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen.

biminitwst

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> @beercheck: Seems a bit over-spec'ed for an Aston.

Strange to see a Tourag towing anything. Probably the TDi version.

Mad_Science

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> That's some trailer.

Indiana Bento and the lost Temple of Citroens

]]> <![CDATA[Geneva Project Hell? Aston Martin V8 Vantage]]> Based on the wheels and height of the hood scoop, I'm going to say '78. Could be wrong, but I'm going to throw that out there.

Anyway, beautiful car. Great color. Good job!
