How exciting.
Still don't think it looks as good as a Falcon, regardless of the hype. But I must say, very nice find!

But as stated, the VE doesn't turn me on at all.

I would prefer an XB/C, or a BA/F. Simple as poo in a pie!

I was wondering what it was behind the VE. I'd have been filming that instead. Loooooove the Astons.

Yeah im with you, the wheels looked very 6 series-ish and the front was more rough, unlike the Astons... Could be wrong...

Very funny vid by the way, good on the kid for havin' the balls to chase the thing and look like a tool!

I noticed in the drive section of the paper that the new VE is available at dealers to test drive, I thought they were going to be out next month?

Some people need to get a life, fancy running out in to the middle of the street to ask a guy about his car and filming it!! Is it me or is that obsesive compulsive behaviour, surely that can't be healthy for a bloke of his age (sounded very young). Maybe I'm just getting old. :
