I'd ask @Felonious Crud, but he is at the petrol station...

Clearly they are NOT more fuel efficient.

Another tough choice:
We'd forgotten how twisty, but lovely Passo del Tonale wasView attachment 101596

And this white road was equally good with a couple of passes which we don't know the names of (we don't really know the difference between a red, yellow or white road - or does it depend on the colour of your calipers which one you can use)

And the road led us to Lago di Tenno for a late lunch

That colour is from either glacier melt water, or run off from a concealed chemical factory. Knowing those dodgy Europeans, I wouldn't drink it either way.

The emissions of the old model Cruds are know to be atrocious

And highly flammable by the smell of it.

Is an Aston any more efficient than Maserati then?

Oooh, you cheeky bastards! It depends how one drives. A heavy foot results in low single figures and a plume of unburned fuel getting stuck in Dem's beard unless he's further than 1/4 mile behind. The drive from the gite up to Calais yesterday at - ahem - cruising speeds and with some traffic and stops, plus a bit of queuing here and there, gave me a notch over 20mpg. More sedate speeds will return 22-24mpg.

Where the Aston does slightly let itself down is its 75l tank, so real world range lags behind the GT / Strad.

No idea - but I told him a Maser has more character - whatever that means

Cars looked so much nicer with a decent set of large windows.

This must have been the first super car I ever saw in real life. It delivered too, drifting around a corner with a growl. So they have special place in my heart.

With all the recent discussion on EV’s here is a different take, the Lightyear 0 Solar Car. Claims of driving up to 7 months without charging on a 35km average daily commute in sunny climates.

Do like a shark nose BMW.
My father had a 633i back in 78 with a manual box and after many special cars he'd had I thought as a 16 year old it was extremely quick back then.

When I worked in Banbury there was a car dealers opposite the station. They had a red B9 sitting on the front for yonks it was only a few grand.

My first Sifu had a 635CSi in the early 90s. I though it was incredible.

Slightly different, was next to an Aplina B3 in Leeds last week. Rather super
