just ambling up the main drag here in Alderley, thinking...my, this looks like quite a pleasant place! when what should I spy in the car park of somerfields but no less than 5...that's 5 Aston DB9's!

...there are lots of people with piles of cash and a good head for cars hereabouts, I may just have to investigate living here simply to ogle the cars!

...poor wickle Lotus didn't raise a smidgen of desire compared to these beauties.. hehe

so, first impressions of cheshire? Nice! thumbup

seems pointless if everyone has one, unless of course you love driving. In which case you would not be in the suprmarket

I think they're going the way of the Conti GT in that I generally see several every day. Usually the AM dealer in Derby has a few cars on the front, but just lately there are more and more of them, now they have taken up the disused Audi dealership compound too. Stacks of them, like a Ford main dealer compound.

You'd think they'd keep them hidden off site to help with the exclusivity wouldnt you?

An alternative to ticking the "sports body kit" option box.....

Is Stratsone still in Elderly Hedge? I heard it had moved since I left Manc.

nope

the one that used to be outside of wilmslow on the airport road is a dress shop

dealer in the centre of wilmslow and one just outside handforth

but theres only a second hand dealer - highams opposite the girls school in AE

to be honest Astons are like bums in knutsford, AE, Wilmslow, prestbury etc there is no point in me saying i saw one

just like 430's - new born baby syndrome

Not unusal in that area. I was parked in King Street car park in Knutsford on Saturday. I parked my humble Jeep next to a Ferrari Scaglietti. Just up the row was a Bentley Arnage and a Maser GT.

De Trafford arms as a venue? I could quite happily sit there and get gently sloshed. Ahhh the memories!

Great cars but I would love to have seen the DB4

Have you got the number? I threw away my copy of the Wilmslow Express with all the details in. I reckon i'll join it too.
