I love my Aston, its my baby and a joy to drive but sometimes I get a little blase.
To me its my toy in the garage that I take out when I feel like it.

Next weekend my little cousin is getting married. I have spoken to her mum, my Auntie, and said that I will take her to the Church if she wants. ( She isnt aware of this by the way)
Now times being hard and all that she has a car for her and the bridesmaids but im told she would love to arrive at her wedding in something special.
So next weekend she will arrive at the Church, to the wedding of her dreams in an Aston Martin.

Sometimes we forget what we have and what an astounding car it is.

cool

Good reminder (and your good deed for the day!)

We do get blasé about these things I think. I use my Vantage as my daily drive, and you do forget (sometimes) the impact the Aston has on others.

Hi

Having only had my V8V for a few months the smile effect on others is quite remarkable, my neighbours grandson is suffering with a kidney problem which has resulted in numerous proceedures I have promised him a ride when has recovered and I suspect the smile effect will be on my face as well

If you are located nearby, you can have my DB9 as well for an hour or so. How cool would it be if there were a few Astons at the Wedding, even if just momentarily cool

Thank You all for the offers and I thought Id share a pic of the day.
Sat started awful but then the weather picked up and a great day was had by all.
The bride was surprised to say the least and Im just glad I could get her and the dress in the car.

Before hand some of the other relatives asked were I was going to park it during the service as the Church is in the centre of a pedestrian area now. I said I was just going to abandon it out side the church lol.
The Chap who drove the Hummer kept an eye on it and the amount of people who asked if the could have their picture taken next to it was brought a smile to my face and reminded me again about how great the car is.

Is that a factory ribbon/bow option? Can it be fitted aftermarket?
