Don't fire! Granted, I used the word "droopy" but it was all I could think
of at that hour of the morning. I didn't mean to imply that I thougt the
Aston front end treatment is not handsome. Quite the contrary. I much
admire the preservation of that basic grille shape dating back at least to
the DB2. I think the DB7 is a stunningly handsome car. I was trying to
contrast the oval shape of the 'classical' E-type front end with the larger
grilled Aston front treatment, that has the two slopes by the headlamps.
The pix I'd seen of the putative F-type did look a lot like the current DB7,
with the dramatic difference in the front end treatment. A poor choice of
words, yes, but...
...what were we going to do with the balloons?
