Live Legend what I can say about this car, and again James Bonds the very first Aston. Well lets have a piece of fun and talk about exactly James Bond car. Yeah, really this is toy for real spy. It included such features as bullet proofing frontal windshield, rotating license plates, seats equipped with ejector, tracer receiving console and more other tempting gadgets. Why this car cant be dream. Really it fast and cool enough to be.
This car actually was produced in 1963 and had 4L engine that worked with 5 speed transmission with let this car to run as fast as 148 mph (238 km/h) in stock. That is really cool for those times. It produce 282hp (210 kW) at 5500rpm power, with 390N*m (288 ft*lbf) at 3850rpm torque. Acceleration 0-60mph took 8,1seconds what is for its 1565 kg (3450 lb) curb weight is not so bad result. In addition in very small series DB5 Vantage and Convertible were built. Theses exclusive autos have more performance, the first for its engine and the second for trim. I like both about this car this famous name and that it was driver by the worlds known spy.
Yes it wasnt the first car for Bond but in minds of people it is the most keeping car for 007agent. Who can add something to my car story? You are welcome!
Next Spy's Car Story
I want to tell you about my car Renault 19 of 1994. This is quite old thing but for that money I paid for this is good auto. At first I desire take some BMW but for cash 1 500 there were only jalopies, and I needed in car because my work. Not thinking long time I chose car appropriate in my price range, I was lucky one old man near me was selling his Renault, so for just 1 300 I became an one hand used cool car Renault 19 with 1,8L 95hp gasoline engine. The thing I like most when I purchased my car was its kilometrage was 60 000 (2003).
Now after almost three years of owning this car I car say that this is very simple car and you car repair it with your own, in additional package it has only sunroof and power assisted steering. Next the high clearance with front wheels drive gives it improved country side abilities, but for highways this is not so good. Now I have BMW E36 Touring of 1998 and this car in contrast have super drivability while you are on highway and it very bad fit for fresh air ridings. Hatchback body of my car possessed of super transportation ability.
For that time once broken fan it cost me 30 and rear pillars become rusting this is all accidental issues I can remember all the rest were done according its scheduler list. Previous owner had serviced in official Renault repair shop network and I do it too now. The minus is that after 120km/h there are excess of fuel rate. But before this speed it is quite Ok.
I advice you before purchasing this model in age more carefully look up to its pillars for rusts tracks, and another weak is cog belt, it should be swapped for every 50 000km.
My cool car Renault 19 look it up!
My car story is about Alfa Romeo 156 estate 2004 I own for a year and a half. I'm an old fan of Alfa and many years Alfa Romeo cars were my top dream cars for sure. They combine imposing design with extra dynamics and power equal to BMW and SUbaru cars.
Well, my car really is 156 2.4 JTD model - I guess the best in 156 line.
My car has unusually 5-cylinders in-line with 2.4 liter displacement in total, 175 h/p and cool torque at 385.
Generally speaking I'm fond of rear-wheels drive attached cars but Alfa Romeo is quite another topic - its front wheels drive is wonder. Given my car has 6-gear manual transmission and engine 175 h/p power 156 behaves like a panther with sharp moves after I turn the steering wheel. It's hard to describe but handling is purely wonderful. I tried BMW, HOnda, Subaru, Mercedes, Audi - they are not so cool, at least it seemed to me like that.
Special pleasure is city scape driving when my 4.4 meter estate transforms into very nimble and fleet city browser, that resembles a shark very!
First, when buying, I had no desire to add leather, and other amenities but my wife pressed me to order to the features list dual-zone climate control, park-tronic system, cruise control (she fears to get lost somewhere in unknown town), additional safety systems for chassis making moving safer but I rare switch them on as this borrow an essential part od acceleration. By the way the alleged 100 km/h acceleration jump of my car is 8.8 sec, that's good for an estate but worse than of BMW.
I want to install to my car a super turbo charger soon - secretly from my wife because she will ask many silly and redundant question which I don't really like.
Well, after regarding my car story I'd like you to view my car pictures, that's important. And bye..
My Car Story - Alfa Romeo 156 Beauty
Hello, my boys here I am again with my new car story and as always it is related to Aston Martin model. At this time I am going to drop overview for as my humble opinion best from the movie about James Bond Vanquish V12 engine equipped.
This car was presented in 2001, the engine supply this 1835 kg (4045 lb) curb weight boy with fair 343 kW (460 hp) and 542 N*m (400 ft*lbf) of torque. Its displacement 5,9L some components of engine shared with 3,0L Fords, actual owner for Aston Martin parts and this became base for widespread myth about this engine origin. No this is not two 3,0L engines it has separately designed motor. This is the true. This car is become dream for many Aston Martin fans an as so for me. And as I mention this is most recognizable theirs car in most due to its movie carrier. With its performance 6 speed Semi automatic or paddle shift gear box it beats 0-60 for 5,0seconds and top speed for it come to 190 mph (306 km/h) dont you think it rather fast car?
Updated version for Vanquish was introduced in 2004 at Paris Auto Show. It called Vanquish S, its power was raised up to 388 kW (520 hp) and 577 N*m (426 ft*lbf), 0-60 time 4,8seconds and top speed 200 mph (322 km/h). I think James Bond was satisfied with it;) yeah, it have wire droved throttle and unique hand made assemblies.
Ok this is new super car but for all Aston Martin glorious history there were too many good automobiles that worth to be mentioned. I hope find free time and'll tell about it next time.
Super car Vanquish - Fast and Cool
I am a fan for BMW world and I want show off my beautiful 5series E34 model of 1991, I purchased recently at the used cars market. This is super car of executive class, with rare Gletscherblau Metallic body color and blue interior. I dont like black cars with tinted windows at all :>$ my car hasnt many bells and whistles, only electric powered sunroof. But it was the thing I was looking for exactly. Now I am going to do everything with my own hands. I replaced its sound system yet. It now equipped with Kenwood amplifiers, Rockford Fosgate subwoofers, Monster Cable wiring etc.
I dont tell you about its perfect handling, everyone knows about BMWs super driveability and if somebody will tell you that they bad dont trust this person he if dont tried BMW or tried one with overheated engine. You can ask me a question why I took 520 but not more powerful 525, the answer is simple, first though according the manual engines has almost the same fuel consumption actually 525 needs more, I have friends who have both of them. Next cause is that 525 modifications usually were used by people with pretensions for car racer and they have usually worn out power train, but my baby more likely were used by woman at no matter her solid age she is still pretty and have excellent characteristics. For me 150hp which produced form it is more than enough, it totally satisfies me and compare with my 3 series this car have better deadening, more inner space, smoothness for driving.
Its inline V6 engine very stable it willing at low revs and explodes at higher 3000. The behavior of this car combined the family sedan comfort with sportive class dynamics.
In winter I used new tires Glisaded Nord Frost. They provide my car with drivability of front drive car at icy and snowy roads, I feel myself very confident. Last swapping were radiator the old one became leading I install Nissens, at one I changed temperature detector for Wahler. Next suspension, I swapped all gaskets, brake disks and shoes for rear Febi, frontal dampers Boge. This all didnt cost me much money because I work as mechanic at repair shop and all I did by my self and moreover all repair parts I took with great discounts up to 30%. I think this is the end for my car story. I can add that my car now is cool thing and rather fast car in addition. Next scheduler maintenance I will do in two months, the engine packing should be replaced and steering system diagnostic. Thank for every dude who read this car story.
My advice for future BMW owners is if you are not respect this brand it is better dont buy it at all, if you feel not passion looking at the blue propeller at the hood this car not for you. And in addition it is not so cheap car. Quality needs to be paid. This is law. Goodbye.
Car story about my next BMW
This is cool car that made since 1995, is really my dream. This car is fast it takes only 4,9seconds for 0-60mph test, it equipped with all aluminum 189hp engine designed by Yamaha. It addition its appearance is very elegant and impressive. Model of 2006 I want to own includes all features as traction control, limited slip differential and higher trim cockpit ;), this car so cool that it is not right to call its inner - passenger compartment. As it cool and fast like destroyer it is good to call place for driver cockpit.
Next the LED headlights and taillights cool stuff addition, improved deadening for doors that reduce noise from wind. The dashboards high rev tachometer up to 10,000 that off course mean high rev engine. The cool innovation is light pedals block that managed by wires. Better handling, lighter weight, Yokahama performed tires, ProBax seats everything at a high level they offer as additional equipment air conditioner, but it takes additional weight so I wont it in my dream car no conditioning! For such super hot car it is useless any way it will bring you into cold and to the sweat.
Powertrain layout of my car is too superb it includes such things as VVTLi engine what is meant (Variable Valve Timing and Lift - Intelligent) lets you get maximal speed at 241km/h this engine emissions fit for Euro standards. So this is super beauty car is allowed for ordinary road driving. This is my dream car and thank you for reading my car story about it.
Lotus Elise My dream car
I acquired with my car in 2006 of 6 instead my old car Elantra. I took full package version with automatic gearbox. Now it has run 5000km. I have no problems with my car for this period and even while low temperature its engine always started.
In addition no matter icy road its handling just amazing, ABS and EBD systems work perfectly. Clearance of 170mm is the right thing for Ghetto urban driving. Suspension is sportily hard and very comfortable at highway, in contrast for my previous Hyundai this model has improved noise proofing, there are no noises maybe excepting only the wheel pillars, but still it is good enough. Engine works too perfectly and even while braking in it producing enough power.
My car has slightly less of comfort for driver but for passengers everything is all right, as for frontal as too for rear. Quality for fabric amazing, design I can describe with only one word WOW! Velour upholstery, tinted windows, black body color and white interior this is cool car indeed. Only the thing that annoyed me is sound. I going to replace it for some famous brand soon and than it will be super car for me!
As summary for my car story is that Korean comrades are going to beat theirs Japanese neighbors and they do it intensively as I can notice.
My new car See it
Somebody keep his rather odd designer, but this is the thing I like in his cars, Mosler Supercar MT900S that is mean street version. It is dream car and really I like it people! Just look at this.
Model of 2005 according Car and Driver magazine review has V8 aluminum block and heads, 346 cu in (5665cc) displacement with supercharger engine, which is maximal boost pressure 6psi. It outputs 600 bhp @ 6300 rpm and 557 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm (SAE net) with 6,500rpm redline. Its drivetrain includes 6speed manual transmission with perfectly adjusted gear ratios. I just image myself how it sings when you gave full bore and go 0-60 test for 3,1seconds! This is really hot thing and if you are not experienced ricer it can be very dangerous... there are no power assisted steering, no clever automatic ABS, driving it you faced with all its strength and if you got succeed to manage with this dragon, you will real king of the road! This is my dream to get anywhere $211,300 and buy this car for my father. But before enjoy with it myself. The color for it I want to be black with red stripes in shape of zigzag by its sides.
This is a car story about my cool and rather fast car... not my accually but my reall dream!
Another name for dream car - check UP
Hello, I am again on AboutMyCar and I want tell you about my dream car. I saw many car stories related to cool and fast dream cars last time here so you know that I own Japanese one and respect only produced from this country. But there are some exceptions and one of them it is really Shelby GT500 not the 2007 but 1967 that was in Gone in sixty seconds movie shown. The name for this car is Eleanor. In that year there were produced only about 2000 units of this legendary modification of Mustang.
She had following specification: body style Fastback, the engine 428ci (7L) V8, with base horse powers 355 @ 5400 and 420 @ 3200 torque, curb weight 3286lbs (1490kg) what is overweight for lady;), with top speed 132 mph, 0-60mph test for just 6,2seconds, miles test 14.3 @ 92 mph, 14.59 @ 101 mph, 14.60 @ 99 mph. You see that for that time it was cool car. Even now not every one has such characteristics.
But what they did with Eleanor movie star! The engine power was raised up to incredible 750hp supercharger. With upgraded hi-torque 5-speed Tremec TKO transmission, balanced aluminum driveshaft sized for transmission, new 17X 8 Shelby rims with 245/40ZR17, Z-rated tires, JBA tuned headers with ceramic plating and more Do you think this is cool car? Yes! I consider she is perfect woman I have ever seen. I love her very much and I want tell it you World, do you hear me?!!!
P.S. Sorry;) and goodbye I hope be in touch as soon as it will be possible.
Shelby GT500 baby of my dream!
Now, I am having a rest and saw that my first car story about Aston Martin DB AR1 like for you I research for information about new lineup of super cars of my favorite car manufacture. This is Vantage model that were shown in 2005 year at the Geneva Motor Show.
This car shared its name with famous 1977 model that also Virage name. And that later was replaced to the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. Hey, those were the times. I remember because there everything rolling around me. Really now everything seems to stay at one placesorry for my small flash back. Well this new car of course not as the old V8 there are lines form Ford, actually owner of Aston Martin. But this is the rule. Now everything get into unification and ever super.
2005 V8 Vantage this is two doors for two passenger coupe body style with aluminum frame that supply strong and light weight. It powered with 4,3L quad cam 32valve v8 classic system. It produces 380hp at 7000rpm with 302 ft*lbf of torque at 5000rpm. The notable thing for this engine is race-style dry-sump lubrication which gives it low based center of gravity. This engine in addition hand made. It accelerate 0-60 test just for 4,9seconds, the time of most power predecessor was 4,6 but it had 6,3L engine, was supercharged and had more than 500 horses on the board. In hole I like this new blooded Vantage. But it worth to try it by own hands I think.
Ok, this is enough for now. I will try to continue my serial essays devoted to cool and fast cars made by Aston Martin. I hope we will share my passion and get dreaming about these wonderful creatures.
Vantage V8 returning for the Dream
