Aston Martin - Car With Class for People With None!

What do we all think to Aston Martin?

Huuuuuuuuuuge generalisation here - It's a car with class for people with none, I actually find the few people I know who own them (newish ones not Classic Aston Martins) seem to have either got money by dubious means or are general idiots.

Round my way you see a few being driven really badly, like total idiots.

Is it the same everywhere or just a Derby thing? As you'd like to imagine Aston Martin drivers to be ladies and gentlemen not the type I have described above!

It's not just Aston Martin round here we also have -
Porsche 911 (996) and (997) turbo - same situation as Aston Martin?
Range Rover - Not so much the Sport as you kind of expect it, the full blown Rangie
New Alfa Romeo GTs - 'cos it's Italian innnnnitt so therefore a supercar
New BMW 5 Series - I find these to be quite pushy
Mercedes C Class - Very pushy drivers, whats your problem ? To the man in the base spec C180 what was your desire to overtake me down a NSL B road when I was doing circa 67mph anyway, then slow down to 45mph, then speed up when I decide to overtake so I can carry on driving what is a great road.

Of course not all the drivers of these cars are like this!
