James Bond would be proud of this little Aston Martin roadster, especially given its near-perfect condition. The only question remaining is, shaken or stirred? As seen at the annual Summer Shocker car show, 2009

Ah, Vinyl. You were such perfect material for those big, round black things (I think they were called records), yet the mention of your name brings painful memories of burnt behinds. Sometimes progress is a good thing, especially when it comes to car seats. Editor’s note: Look carefully and you’ll notice that these seats are [...]
