Bought my old Bentley back :)
Discussion
Great!
What I like to do with mine, is just sit in it in the garage, with a generous glass of a good single malt, some music on the sound system (something classical but with attitude and power) and take in the smell, the tactility, the ambience of it all.
Fantastic cars.
Wagner and Bentleys though, slippery slope

Ballers, you actually deserve your vehicle, they are so much more than mere transports.
I remember when Broughtons lent me a Brooklands before the RT turned up and I spent several delightful weeks lapping up the ambience.
Everything from the exquisite match of those highly polished veneers and yes, the unmistakable whiff of empire-in-hide, through to the glorious but just-subdued-enough thrum of distant, hurculean forces hurling you towards the cossack hoardes.
The Arnage looked like a hopeless gimp next to the Doric majesty of the 3 box design.
I just wish they'd allowed the engine boys at Crewe full vent with the 6.75 litre lump*: it always needed 700bhp.
* I believe they are indeed revitalising the Azure model by virtue of yet more tinkerage of the venerable block...

I had plans and a budget in place for something along these lines, but running out of talent at MIRA unfortunately sidelined the funds.
In a couple of years when my wallet has recovered though...
Mate,
From memory, the men in brown overalls were most reticent to even entertain discussions about engine mods, something that seemed odd when Aston Martin have always made much od their own 'Works' dept.
Contradictory, too since as I've mentioned before, there was mention made of "a flying Italian," one of these impossibly affluent eurowhores who bought "several at a time" every so often and for whom, holy levels of power were indeed deemed suitable to impart - how does 650bhp sound for a Continental (the non VW car?)
What's the mishap of which you speak, btw?
