Owned by a V12 Vanquish

[MAGPIE]

Some quotes from a Auckland Police Inspector after a patrol tried to apprehend a Aston Martin Vanquish stolen during a burglary & spotted speeding at 4am.

The vehicle drove on to the motorway and headed south towards the Harbour Bridge. To the surprise of the officers it accelerated away from them like they were standing still and was last seen disappearing into the distant lights of Auckland city," he said. The patrol car reached 120kmh and the officers clocked the Aston Martin at 180kmh before it was lost from sight, although not before the registration number was noted and the car found to be stolen.

The police acknowledge that these vehicles, with their 512 horsepower engine, are a little faster than your average Holden Commodore," said Mr Paterson.
