    Beautiful car, congrats!

    I noticed those pics were taken on the roof of the Park Place parking garage, I work in that building. I wish I could have seen your car! ;)

    Car looks great Manny, I didn't know they were stopping S7 production or have they stopped already? I wonder how many were made altogether.

    I am not a big fan of the SLR, but that is a great color combo; especially with the red piping.

    Thinking of getting a roadster,please any feedback on rattles or is the car tight.
    Honestly would make the difference whether to buy or not.
    The other option was a 722.
    Would appreciate your comments.

    I have not had the pleasure to drive the 722 but I did have a black coup SLR for 4 months and I can tell you the convertable is totaly a different ride.. for one thing you hear the engine so much more and the exhaust sounds like its in your ear... it also has the peddle shifter on the steering whell which you can down shift and upshift like the aston martin Vanquish, as far as I know the 722 and coups did not have this, I may be wrong. so its a lot more fun then the coup.

    as far as value goes.. I would stay with a 722 as it is a collectable peice! I like to have a joy ride and got to have the convertable for that.

    hope that helped.
