Aston Martin One-77 - Is JK buying?

JK admires the lines of the stunning Aston Martin One-77

Today was the first day of Salon Prive at the Hurlingham club in London, and whilst the rest of us slaved over a hot monitor, our esteemed leader has been off supping Champagne and scoffing lobster surrounded by some of the world’s greatest cars. Yes John and Carla have been out playing!

One of the debuts at Salon Prive was the first UK public appearence of the Aston Martin One-77. So a quick look around was definitely called for. According to John, it’s a stunning creation. And so it should be. A 700bhp V12 with 0-60mph in a little over 3 seconds and on to somewhere north of 200mph, it will cost the handful of lucky owners £1,000,000. But we’d take one over the similarly-priced Lamborghini Reventon.

JK drools over the Aston Martin One-77s 700bhp V12

Judging by the picture quality it looks like John took these pictures post-lunch. But they are usable. But what John didn’t realise when he was busy spilling his Champagne over the nice One-77 was that the other drooler was none other than JK – he of Jamiroquai and Top Gear SIARPC leader board fame. But then John doesn’t know one celeb from another. They’re all just more people to him. But Carla noticed – and how interested JK was.

So maybe Aston Martin managed another deposit today from mad-keen petrol-head JK?

(much more Salon Prive news tomorrow when our leader is sober!)
