Went for a drive in the car today after it has been tucked up in bed under covers for winter. Man, it's great to feel every sensation in your body of driving such a fabulous car. The smell, the sound with new larini exhaust and the whole experience. Cannot stop smiling.

Snow forecast for the weekend though. Yuk.

Roll on Spring.
Cheers,
Ian.

No chance. Cars like this are made to be driven. All year round.

of course, Astons are not toy weekend cars, you drive them all year around - mines filthy smile

I missed a few days in December I admit, but other than that I have got to enjoy my car every day I have needed to drive since October last year.

Sadly she is filthy and its bucketing down, so no cleaning today frown

No 6 Nations either so not a good weekend. Siiiiigh!!

Hope your foot gets better and if it is your right one it doesn't restrict your ability to press the noisy pedal smile

Yes, it's always washed, dried, brakes dried and battery conditioner plugged in before tucked away in the garage. yeswink

It's not just a weekend ride, but when there is snow, ice and tons of salt and crap on the roads, (plus even more pot holes) here in the North East, I prefer to keep it tucked up and enjoy the moment even more when I do get to drive the car. Lucky not too much snow today.
Cheers,
Ian
