Hope I'm never out visiting my fancy woman and one of you guys snaps me en-route, I'd be in trouble eek

Do you think it might be an idea to blank out the number plates for privacy's sake? whistle

Note to self - take the fancy woman out in the EuroBox...although the other half never reads piston heads anyway! I'd assumed all Aston owners had a fancy woman (or fancy man Lady T!)isn't that what the three electric seat settings are 1 - for me 2 - for 'er indoors 3 - for a play mate????

1, 2 and 3 for me have ended up being:

1 - Luggage - forwards and up slightly
2 - Motorway - down and relaxed
3 - Town - back but up for visibility

Not sure in 10 months of the car that my girlfriend has even set any of the passenger side ones.

Approx 20 Aston Martin Lagondas in Dinard France, one of which belongs to LOOR13049 who posts on here occassionally! Now I would imagine, that's a rare spotted.

Spotted in Commercial road, Hereford. Sunday afternoon. Black Vanquish Reg No. 4DS I think . It turned into either Lidl, Blockbuster Video or KFC. I assume that he was lost! We were in the petrol station(spiritual home) opposite.

No! It looked ste. The sooner it goes out of fashion the better.

Everyone I was with at the time commented how much better the Pentland green one that was sat on the pub carpark looked. smile

You have a genuine point Georgio.

As Grant pointed out a couple of weeks ago, this Audi-esque variant certainly is le coleur du jour, and perhaps will fade with time smile

You were sat in the slow/stationary traffic and I glided through the lines of cars on my motorbike (it's the only time I'm glad not to be in the Aston!)

Spotted a british V8V parked up with all the campers at Spa over the weekend. Sir, I salute you for a) packing a tent and all the other gear in the Vantage, and b) camping at Spa this weekend. You must have been totally drenched by Saturday evening.
Hi Neil

There's loads of space in the spaceous boot biggrin. I am used to packing it up with camping gear to go to Le Mans.
The weather was something else though. Ended up being a softy and stopping in a hotel on Friday and Sunday night.

Fortunately on Saturday night I couldnt hear the rain thanks to the dutch party that were camped behind me who provided rediculously loud Euro techno until about 4:30 Sunday morning. It only stopped when someone threatened to call the Police.

Great race though!

Monza next year cool

On a rainy Tuesday afternoon in Glasgow I spotted a black V8V, followed closely by a nice dark blue V8V. A few minutes later a black Vanquish (foreign plate) was behind me. After grinding through traffic for a couple of miles the Vanquish passenger ran up and asked if I was with the Aston Martin trip, to which the answer was negative. Hope I didn't lead you too far astray !
