Blimey that looks great; will be ordering.
On the downside, on the homepage I can't believe how good that red Aston looks with the clear back light clusters...looks like that link may have just cost me more than £19.99...

I wish it well, as you can never have too many books on the marque and I'll definantly buy a copy....
...But if those pdf's are representative of the book then someone should have proof-read it first. Sorry, but in some places it doesnt make sense, others its incorrect and there are lots of exclamation marks.

Will, I do like my exclamation marks (!) but the book was professionally proof read, although I have no doubt there are grammatical mistakes that got through the net. But it is packed full with accurate information on all aspects of the latest range of Aston Martins, which. I hope will be of interest to fellow owners and help others join our exclusive club. Will the book be available as PDF for my iPad, I'm a gadget man and don't like to carry around physical books, newspapers and mags anymore. I don't see a link anywhere?

Very, very impressed Grant, many sincere congratulations on a labour of love. So much detail involved. My only criticism would be that you are too modest. It would have been nice and justified to see your name on the cover as recognition of being the author of what I am sure will be a must buy for modern Aston owners. Going straight in my suitcase for holiday reading to remind me what I am leaving behind. Well done, you may now have a well deserved rest. I would recommend this book to anyone on here contemplating a Gaydon Aston. Di
