Astons and Vandals

[S1X OK]

For some time now, I've had a hankering for a DB9, for which I need no encouragement. It'll have to be a 9 for the simple fact that my son doesn't want to be left behind. I've taken him to PJ Evans in Birmingham to see if he can squeeze in the back and he's happy enough. However, I have concerns about vandalism. I'm aware of the patriotism that is shown to the marque by the general public, let's call it the 'James Bond effect', but is this extended to the kids that want to trash the paint with their keys?
The car will be kept in a locked garage, but it's the occasions when you park it and walk away that I need help with.
Worried, please reassure me.

All you can do with any car, irrespective of value is be careful where you park it and hope for the best....

Pathetic really.....Great Britain 2005


My old boss bought a brand new pale yellow Mk111 Jensen Interceptor in 1973, and someone poured paint stripper all over the bonnet when it was three days old...........So Vandalism is nothing new.....

I know someone that got their Focus keyed, so as Wacky Racer said, I don't think it matters whether you own an Aston or a Ford, you still get jealous idiots !!

You will find that you start to think a lot more carefully about where you park. Not just to avoid vandal damage but also careless parker's in public carparks and other places. We sometimes take the hack car rather than the Aston if we deem the risk to high.

We always take the 'hack' car as well. I have no problem parking the Aston anywhere, even in tiny spaces. However, what with it only being 1/12th scale, I have problems getting the shopping in the back

I have a car park door opening dink on my drivers door from some thoughtless a$$hole........drives me mad !!
