So what have you done with your Aston today? (Vol. 2)

[basherX]

I started a thread earlier this year or last December about a prospective euro road trip.

Well, after much pondering I seem to be about halfway along a winding route to Prague.

A couple of photos from the day






Currently tucked up near Heidelberg. It amazing how easily these cars eat up the mileage. Even roof down for about 80% of the day (mostly 25°-30°) it’s possible to make progress over ~500 miles without being completely catatonic at the end.

Had a good drive down to visit Aston Installations, near Tewkesbury, who replaced the sun-damaged gloss black trim on my DB11. Excellent service from the outstanding team there, as always. Amy's new dog is adorable, too.

I believe they have an open day this Sunday and are expecting some very interesting vehicles to be there.

Thank you.

My first Autobahn experiences yesterday and today.

Lively.

Near side windscreen washer is a casualty of the journey, but what’s a road trip without the use of tape to hold things in?

Car tucked away in a Prague basement now until return trip, starting next Friday.

What did you have done? I’ll likely be taking a trip down there in the not too distant future, starting to think the CarPlay upgrade will be well worth it and tempted to have front and reverse cameras too.

That’s exactly what I had done today.. also replaced the lifted leather trim on the front two dash panels and they fitted my headlight venting kit too.
Nice to have CarPlay in the Aston..

Guess I can finally post in this thread….

Collected my new (to me) ‘19 DB11 V12 with the AMR upgrade. First Aston for me and I’m totally smitten with it!

Anyway, I guess what I’ve done with my Aston today is rediscover what wheel-spin in second and third gear is - not had that for a while (and yes it’s got brand new Michelin PS4s on)!
