So I was driving through Northampton town centre last week, and in the rear view mirror, I clocked the all to familiar sight of an Aston Martin.
Even at one glance, it just breathes their strapline, Power - Soul - Beauty. That curvaceous grill oozing class.
Naturally, when this happens, you slow down and allow the Big Brit powerhouse to pass, purely so you can ogle at the sheer splendour and beauty of such an incredible machine.
Well I did just this; Brushed my right foot off the gas, and allowed the Aston to creep closer.
This is where all my hopes and dreams came crashing down around me like hellfire from an Air to Surface missile! - For in fact the 'Aston Martin' that had been approaching, was in fact, a £15k Ford Fiesta!
To say I was taken aback would be the understatement of the century! I was Gobsmacked!
Those blokes at Ford spend a couple of years in bed with Aston Martin, and they produce Satin! It is blasphemy! I was outraged!
I still can't believe the lack of creative thought that has gone into producing this Fiesta, and won't accept that this car is on the road, and certainly not for a measly fifteen thousand pounds!
It takes away everything that is special about buying a £150k Supercar. What is a Vanquish or DBS now? Just a beefed up Ford Mondeo, or C-Max. That's exactly what it is, and why it's so upsetting to see that Aston needed Ford's money to survive, but in surviving, they have sold their soul to the Devil.
Aston Martin, Power - **(RIP)** - Beauty
