The Aston Martin, you know that this a typical english car. In Gemany they say, "Lieber Gott, beschΓΌtze uns vor Sturm und Wind und vor Autos die aus England sind". (Dear god, protect us from storm and wind and from cars comming from England). The other problem with english cars is LUCAS, the god of darkness.. The 107 looks like a car which had stood long time. This is always a problem. Is it a V8 and may be a 560SL? Another point is the Age of this car, you have to Change all rubber parts from t

And yes there are some cool & interesting Japanese cars. Cheers JML
