MEGADETH's Dave Mustaine Plays James Bond In His Aston Martin Vanquish S

Petrina Gentile from The Globe And Mail has published the following article of Dave Mustaine with his 2004 Aston Martin Vanquish S.
Early in his career as a heavy metal singer and guitarist, Dave Mustaine had a reputation for living life in the fast lane.
Nowadays, the founder of Megadeth still has a fast-paced lifestyle – the 49-year-old has a new book out called Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir, and Megadeth has released a new Rust in Peace Live CD and DVD and is doing a massive world tour.
And, at home in California, he enjoys driving fast in his 2004 Aston Martin Vanquish S.
“When I saw it in James Bond, I thought, ‘God, I like that car!’
“It’s one of those cars where you actually love it or you hate it. I loved it. It was a sexy car. The motor is pretty fierce,” he boasts.
He's not afraid to push the V-12 to its limits, either. “I do like speed. The top speed of this car is in the neighbourhood of 200 miles an hour. I’ve only gotten it up to 120 because there’s a lot of traffic where I live.
“I had a sheriff with me at the time I did it. If anybody thinks it was reckless it was, but I had a cop with me,” he laughs.
