Actually, it sounds pretty good and if it's like the 'sedici then I might have to postpone the Aston Martin for another year...

I have no doubt the 1098 will be a winner so long as it comes in YELLOW (surely the lads at Ducati cannot dump another ugly bike on the market aka 999), but I await good news re another ugly bike that needs some creative work - the Sports Tourer. The Japo ST3 is not a patch on the "older and superior" ST4s (and even that has a bland front end). Come on Ducati give us a world class design for Sports Tourers and an engine better than that fitted to my YELLOW ST4s.

Re the Aston - I cancelled my DB9 when I saw the Rapide at the Geneva Show last year - simply on the grounds that now I have a daughter I need a "proper" 4 seater...............and the Rapide is poetry in motion (hopefully if AM actually produce it) (Dipstick Ford Permitting)

Whoops almost forgot:
The future is bright but it ain't orange - it's JCB YELLOW - yep Mr Bamford has told Ford that he is very interested in buying Jaguar. Now I personally think that Anthony Bamford would do for Jaguar what Johnny Bloor has done for Triumph - rebuild a great British Company (Dipstick Ford Permitting)
