Technically not mine, but I get to play chauffeur as my Dad can't really drive anymore.

Still have the Elise - over 9 years now:

Couple Fiestas for our dailys (2007 Zetec S for me, 2016 ST for the wife) and also use my Dad's BMW M135i pretty regularly.

As some know, there's an AM V12 Vantage S just 3 doors down from our house.  He also has an RR V8 Supercharged thingy.

The AM V12 is thunderous.  The noise on a cold morning is particularly wonderful.  I can hear him start it up, pull off the drive, and then listen to it drive all the way around the circle of houses and out on the top road to the roundabout.  It is a good 1/2 mile and if I'm outside I can hear it all the way.  One very cold morning, very early, I was sat outside and it was an especially quiet time.  I heard the above to the point it would normally fade - and I then heard him absolutely cane it.  The roads must have been empty and I could tell, by the noise, precisely where he was.  I reckon that I probably stopped being able to hear it when he was about 1.5 miles away. :roflmao:

My FB friends on here will tell you I often mention it whilst I'm sat having a coffee early on a morning.  I'm not a fan of modern Aston Martin vehicles but the noise from this thing and the V12 S's, in general, is epic.  It isn't just the volume, it is the tone, the spitting, the cracking and the cackling.  I know some of it is false sound but I don't care.  It simply sounds fabulous.
