:) Hmmmm... Great question! I think I'd pick the V12 Vantage S as it's a small, nimble package with a killer motor :) One thing about AM motors... They have such amazing exhaust notes; quite seductive and visceral. I think I prefer the Aston audio track to even Ferrari or Lamborghini.

Suitbert's image in his link is indeed a perfect example of the raised text I had observed. Seems to be a rather interesting process involved with production of that dial based on his description; an art form all it's own. So, based on what I can surmise from this educational thread, it sounds like
