This is a better option.....Never had a problem in 15 years like this.
You've been lucky, I was stopped four times in less than a year and also got a fine in France.
Drove over to Le Mans Classic and I was questioned at a Police check point near the circuit. I handed him the plate that I had in the footwell, he walked to the front of the car, couldn't find a solution and gave it back to me.

Indeed, and thank god some people like swamp donkeys to leave the good looking ones for the rest of us.
Murph clearly you know far too much about what constitutes a swamp Donkeywink!!!

Anyway I know I'm on a loser, but sorry this just doesn't do it for me....


& the factory clearly agree as both Vanquish & DB9 feature UK plates that, as standard, leave the grill fully exposed...........



yet they chose to balance beauty & beast by a placing it a tad higher on the over large maw (in relation to its other proportions)of the V8!


Flame away biggrin

Theres that colour!!! smile

What is the name of the colour of the car at the top? The blue with black wheels?

That is the finest colour you could give an Aston. Not sure about the black wheels though...

Olie - have you been sipping the same sense-depriving cocktail as Grant3 ? Can't see the wow factor in that turquoisey colour. Mind, my wife likes it so I won't argue, it's safer that way. Of the hairdresser (here speaks a man who used to drive TTs - voted Australia's gay car of the year 2005 as my mate pointed out to me by putting an Autocar article under my windscreen wiper) colours available from Aston, I almost went for the silvery blue Ferrari colour "grigio" - summat like that. That looked lovely - maybe (hopefully) Olie was thinking of that blue and not the turquoisey one???

Hello there,

Uuuum... Ferrari's are made to be red IMO... Many people see that as boring because all Ferraris are red so I can relate to it!...

Yes, That silvery blue Ferrari colour does look smart, a bloke had one round where I live and It was nice but Red with creme interior is the kiddy! cloud9

Well, I thought the colour I like was called ' Frozen Blue ' but Im not sure...

Looks fabulous IMHO!!!
