1. My buddy who restores old brit cars came into some cash and bought a DB5 that needed some work.

I mean he went nuts on this thing. It needed a head gasket, brakes, water pump, stuff like that. He even went to the extent of going over to the UK and buying the leather seat covers from the same company that Aston uses.
When complete he took it on a stretch of lightly travels highway and let her rip..
He took it up to 120 mph and said it was smooth as glass. It felt like doing 60 was his comment.
As things go he got stuck for cash and had to sell it. Not at a loss mind you but not as much as when these cars were selling at their peak.. I saw it but never got a ride. A real beauty..
First time I ever heard of using the "Golden Ratio" for car design.. neat stuff..
