AM DB7 (did someone say Ford) future classic or not

The jury is still out on that question. but for me on Friday after pulling it out from storage, part of the preparation for delivery included a 40 mile test drive. well it was good fun. Although its an Auto its still quick. the V12 sounds fantastic and illegal speeds are very easy to get to...the motoring press doesn't regard this car too highly and at my garage everyone seems to think its slow. well it isn't slow. and the interior isn't too horrible although a bit for in its feel.

 

one thing though - there isn't a lot of room to move your left foot around and the BMW auto transmission transfers a lot of heat through the tunnel into the cabin. the seat isn't very comfortable either. The steering isn't very accurate and doesn't inspire confidence. There is a lot of scuttle shake. come to think about it its the engine and pace that impressed me more that anything else especialy when at 55mph I floored it and overtook two cars on a b- road to finish the manoeuvre at 110 mph . I found the brakes where pretty good too when a tractor pulled out in front of me soon after. I cant blame him really as I was in the horizon when he joined the road.

 

Well not all days are like this so it makes a change
