What colour is your Aston now?

[matg]

My mercury silver Vantage is looking a tad road brown after using over the last couple of days

A dirty brown

Had it Valeted on Wednesday, after which it looked lovely and shiny. Then drove to Manchester on Thursday, during the journey it changed colour.

Ummmmm...will have to get it cleaned again next week.

Sometimes it just doesn't seem worth giving the car a proper clean!

But its always good to know that underneath all that crap, your car is perfectly clean, and beautifully detailed

We have the return of the starlings so my tungsten silver now has a lovely speckled effect.B###locks!

My lovely Amethyst Violet resembles a sand dune due to massive dust storms we are having just now.

Any opportunity for a picture!

In London so clean roads and no snow:

Mine has dried on sheep $hit after a blast round Snowdonia just before the snow.
I just need so decent + temps to give it a clean

Is that the tunnel that TopGear used when they chose the cheap cars they didn't like. IIRC they spray painted them in that tunnel?

Nice garage and picture on the back wall! Also quite like the blue of that car cover.

I don't remember the specific episode, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was. It's Leake Street in Waterloo, London. Have a look on Google Streetview for more of it.

Steve - awesome garage, but have you not been tempted to carry on driving up that road and just driven into the back of your garage lol

Absolutely the same place; one of the few places in London where you can legally graffiti; and it's always good for photoshoots because it is different every time.

Very nice. I want a garage that looks like that

May I ask where the floor tiles came from, and how you got the print on the back wall?

It is very impressive, but where are your tools / bikes / lawnmower / motorbike / paint / car washing kit. All I can see is a brush and a coat stand! I though Mrs Shunt was a bit OCD, but that's a whole new level! Love that wall photo.

Yeah I have a very critical question too...... where do you keep all your crap???
If you take a picture from where the car is do you have a pile of ste looking like it's about to engulf the rest of the garage?

pmsl!

It's called a 'store room', it's behind the garage and it's where everything (the st) is arranged by colour and size
