Surprised an AM Vanquish
I was coming home from the office today and was behind a guy in traffic in a black Vanquish. I think it was a couple of years old, but had temprary tags on it from a recent purchase. He took off through a hole in traffic and I stepped on it to get a closer look. I was coming up on him in the left lane, while he was in the right and we were doing about 70. I heard that beautiful V-12 symphony as he floored it to jump in front of me. I stomped on it when he was about 1/2 car length in front and only put a little over 1 length on him by 110 +/- when we had to back off for traffic up ahead. He looked over a little later and gave a thumbs up, but wouldn't roll his window down to chat.

I didn't see an S on the back, but it happened much too quickly for me to get a good look. He floored it just as I got up to him and I was only in the back for a second. I got a really good look at the front of it in my rear-view mirror for awhile.
