£1,400,000 worth of Aston Martin 1-77 stuffed. 😳
Shouldn't have let that James Bond drive it.
Assuming no other vehicle/cyclist/predestrian was involved, good riddance to bad rubbish.
That buff out 🙂
That'll polish out, surely...
(whoops, indeed!)
Bad rubbish?
:facepalm:
such a shame all these beautiful high powered supercars are driven by ****s who clearly cannot drive for toffee. for example:

I live happy in the knowledge that I can't afford these cars so have no chance of crashing them anytime soon
I live happy in the knowledge that I can't afford these cars
I live depressed in the knowledge that anyone has that much money to be able to spend 1.4 million quid on a car. What's wrong with a nice low-mileage Polo?
But saying I smashed up my Ferrari sounds better than saying I smashed up my Polo 🙂
What use are these not so super cars? Law breaking or pulling women you wouldn't with somebody else's seem the only potential uses to a man that generally travels with more than one other person and several bicycles. If you really want a car for driving pleasure then a Caterham beats anything thats costs over 100k.
Pointless bling for the superficial.
Hair shirts all round!
I guess spending 100k for a lot of these people who own these cars is the equivalent of the average person spending 15k on a car.
No, the equivalent of an average person buying a bicycle from Halfords.
I assume, Edukator, that you're using a slow old computer on a dial up modem. In a house lit only by tallow candles. After all, anything else is just pointless bling.........
They're beautiful looking pieces of kit bought by people with lots of dosh.
Why should there be anything else to it?
If I was hyper-rich I'd have one.
Was sat in a local car park the other day and a guy in an Aston Martin DBS convertible pulled in. It was a bit long for the space and he picked a space with loads of bushes protruding into it and just kept going crunching the bushes until he was a few inches off the wall.
He just didn't seem to care about the damage to the paintwork or the headlight lenses.

£1,400,000 worth of Aston Martin 1-77 stuffed.
Obviously somebody has put the decimal point in the wrong place,at least it didnt involve a cyclist getting hit.
Nope. They are £1.4m.
Maybe he's got a spare or 9. 😯

$1.4m BTW. 😉
1.4 million for a car, when theres poor people out here who cant afford a new bike, or a new camera etc.
What's your point project?
Not quite the sharpest billionaire then ? 😉One man bought 10 Aston Martin One-77 cars for his family. At the cost of $1.4 million each, the man wrote a check for $23 million.
On the bright side it might have provided a job for someone that couln't afford a new bike. Someone can sell 40 or 50 hours a week of his/her life so that someone else can pay a large sum for an expression of bad taste that includes an little widget made by the person that couldn't afford a bike until Aston ordered a part from some sweat shop in a "developing" land.
Not quite the sharpest billionaire then ?
Extended warranty, innit? 🙄
*decides to ignore the pointless trolling*
And raving about grotesque expressions of extreme wealth isn't trolling?
Or might cover the 1st year's premiums, I supposeExtended warranty, innit?
What's your point project?
He wants a new camera?
Their money, they can spend it how they like. Get over it.
I'm with Edukator on this one.
Even if I had billions my "luxury car" would be a basic diesel Audi estate.
That would clearly mean down car-ing for some STWers.
I'm with Edukator on this one.
Me too. I'd rather live in a society without sink estates full of people living on the breadline, and without the vulgar rich who can afford to spend that sort of money on a poxy car.
Sadly some people have more money than brain cells to spend so extravagantly on a vehicle that does the job of any other vehicle transfers its passengers from a to b in most weathers, while being seated.
and shame on aston martin for chargeing such an inflated price for a vehicle, when it could and should be produced down to a budget, not up to a price tag.
cant understand why people ar obviously supporting the idea that its ok to pay that much, OBVIOUSLY TROLLS, WITH SMALL MINDS OR BORED.
Go on then poverty enders, how will you do it.
I presume none of you buy any luxury products?
I see this forum is still shite.
Sadly some people have more money than brain cells to spend so extravagantly on a vehicle ........
Being a billionaire and not spending your money seems pretty daft to me, and rather pointless. Why do you think the smart ones wouldn't spunk their money ?
cant understand why people ar obviously supporting the idea that its ok to pay that much
Spending £1.4 Million on a car is most definitely obscene imo, but it doesn't suggest a lack of brain cells.
Go on then poverty enders, how will you do it.
Taxation's a good place to start. Close the gap between rich and poor and we'd live in a much nicer place.
Isn't it great how so many of these threads end up in a left v right debate. It's all politics kids! Ya basta!
I presume none of you buy any luxury products?
Actually, last week I went for Lidl's 65p shower gel instead of the usual 32p one. What the hell, you only live once.

Taking someone's money away from them after they've worked hard and giving it to someone who doesn't have the same vision and ambition is going to make the place nicer, how? 😉
I'm sure these extravagant cars are keeping a hell of a lot of people in work.
Ha...no credible answers 🙄
after they've worked hard and giving it to someone who doesn't have the same vision and ambition
Those dastardly plebs have absolutely no vision or ambition. Let them empty our bins, and eat cake.

thats until they grow up and realise that only a very small number of people actually get to own one, and that ones who do own them are seen as people with small willies,by most of the population.
It's a myth that fast expensive cars are owned by people who can't drive or are compensating for something, I guess it makes those people seething with jealousy feel better about themselves 🙁
I have owned supercars, can drive well and have an average sized penis. I'm also single so hit me up if you want a good time fellas 🙂
$107m for a complete production run. R&D, tooling, production the lot. It isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. The limited run and exclusivity has dictated the price.
Go on then poverty enders, how will you do it.
Sack the Queen innit? Then all that wealth would be spread amongst "the people". Surely?
I think that's what I read on STW anyway.
use to swim with one of the QA bods at Aston Martin. He did say he wouldn't buy one even with the staff discount.
They make boys happy when they see them parked in the street...
It's those selfless altruistic motives by the filth rich which hardly ever get mentioned.
LOL
$107m for a complete production run. R&D, tooling, production the lot.
So you are suggesting that it is a waste of money when viewed at every angle ?
He did say he wouldn't buy one even with the staff discount.
That's what the checkout girl at Lidl said to me about the 65p shower gel, but, you know, I thought "f*** it...I'm having one..."
Not at all.So you are suggesting that it is a waste of money when viewed at every angle ?
Until recently I used to work for a company where one machine would set you back $300m. Tooling for an Astra cost millions, but then they will make hundreds of thousands of them.
Ah OK, I thought you were suggesting that we should invest in affordable cars with wide appeal. Obviously not.
Time for me to sign off
At the end of the day that sort of wealth is the product not of hard work vision or ambition but by the abuse of power exploitation of others and disregard for normal morality . Remember our monarchy started with the biggest thug with the military might to kill his way to the top. So it's not hard to see a historicity acceptable way to take that wealth off them .
Time for me to sign off if we are agreeing
We will never agree...this is class warfare..!
Sleep tight!

seems as if a lot odf so called super cars also crash, and i have no jealousy whatso ever for somebody in a flash car just a face of derision and no probable chance of them being let out of a junction.
@project I don't think a lot of supercars crash, but it's usually bigger news than when some old vectra has a prang as it gives people the chance to roll out the old "ahahah that rich ass obviously can't drive" line. Human nature I guess.
Why won't you let someone out of a junction if they are in an expensive car? Sounds like a case of the ole green eyes and sour grapes to me...
.....that sort of wealth is the product not of hard work vision or ambition but by the abuse of power exploitation of others and disregard for normal morality .
It's a bit of a mouthful but that's probably worth remembering for future "traffic light conversations". It might not wipe the smug look off the **** 's face, but I'm sure it'll make me feel radical and perhaps even a tad smug myself.
I find it quite sad that a beautiful thing (IMO) like that has been badly damaged, so here's a pic of one in all its glory. 😐

I'd like to see a version of Channel 5s Big Brother programme where the wallies that buy these things get led through to an office at the back of the showroom to sign the paperwork, only instead of an office it's just a bare room with an angry bear in it..

Thanks for your erudite contribution. It's good to know someone is above all this.

My last extravagant spend was some second hand 721s one a HopePro2 t'other a Bulb.Apparently the extra weight will make little difference. 😉

You mean progressive taxation championed by Dave & George and TJ too,which is some euphemism if ever I heard one.

POSTED 1 HOUR AGO # REPORT-POST
And there's people out there with old bikes and cameras when there are people in the world living without clean running water or access to basic drugs.
Now where's the rolling eyes emoticon?

nah...PROPER progressive taxation...
......without clean running water or access to basic drugs.
I'm fairly sure there aren't many in this country.
And claiming that because there are people in the world without clean running water or access to basic drugs, this somehow fully justifies someone spending £1.4 million on a car, is probably the worse argument ever.

That's the best offer I've had in ages! Go on then, if you pay for the sex change, you can call me whatever you like! 😉

Oh dear god... Here we go! Some left wing bigot declaring anyone with any money is evil, cos they must have ripped countless people off to get it! There are lots of people in this world, that have good ideas, work hard, and are good at what they do and as such have been financially rewarded for it. Get over it!
I for one am glad that someone can still choose to spend their money on ridiculously expensive luxury goods if they so choose. After all, I seriously doubt anyone who has posted on this thread so far is making do with a bargain basement Mountain Bike that literally just about meets the basic requirements, rather than buying something a lot more lavish when they could afford to.

Yeah, but that level of expenditure is probably within a reasonable level of wealth attainable to everyone if we lived in an economically fairer world. Daft, ostentatious £1m cars will never be.
or access to basic drugs.
You tried scoring decent weed in the 'burbs recently,it's shocking 🙂

A bike worth more than £200 is "daft and ostentatious" to the vast majority of the public.
You are letting your prejudices cloud your views.
If we lived in a world where we all shared the wealth equally, NONE of us would even be able to afford a fairly basic mountain bike, such is the imbalance of wealth in the world.
Life's shit, deal with it. I'm just grateful I was born to this world in a developed country, where we still retain the freedom to do as we like. Your Animal Farm style utopia does not work, several countries have already tried and the result is worse corruption than before, mass poverty and a country falling to its knees economically.

that doesn't even make sense.

there are plenty of countries without the rich/poor differential that we have, which offer a far preferable social model.
