Title: Aston Martin sold! Post by: Leggett on Monday, March 12, 2007, 16:53:32 reports of a Pro-Drive buy-out werent too far wide of the mark, Dave Richards is the head of Pro-Drive but seems to have gone into this in a personal sense.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6442101.stm But this does add more fuel to the rumour that the Pro-Drive F1 cars due to start competing next year will be badged as Aston Martins, as they already race the DB9s in the GT championships... how fucking good would that be??? :D Title: Aston Martin sold!

Title: Aston Martin sold! Post by: Fred Elliot on Monday, March 12, 2007, 16:55:26 Bring back the MG racing team
I'd drive for them ! Title: Aston Martin sold! Post by: Barry Scott on Monday, March 12, 2007, 17:05:09 Quality. Perhaps the most stupid decision ford have made?
Sell the profitable company, keep the liablities. Makes perfect sense. Aston back in the UK is good, but i will always have concerns over reliablity and future development costs. Oh well, it's good for now. 8) Title: Aston Martin sold! Post by: Leggett on Monday, March 12, 2007, 17:19:22 JAMES' NERDOID FACT OF THE DAY
when MG Rover went bust, they were in the latter stages of developing a racing version of the behemoth V8 MG ZT for the DTM german touring cars series. :mrgreen: Title: Aston Martin sold!

That makes sense; my posts are not usually very well thought out! :oops: That's a good thing, i love jags as well. I just hope they follow through on some of the new prototypes. The S-Type is nearly as sexy as a fezza or an Aston. Title: Aston Martin sold! Post by: Leggett on Tuesday, March 13, 2007, 14:25:17 if the new S-type looks anything like the prototype, i will honestly jizz in my pants.
