Most cringeworthy thread you have ever read?

[NRS]

This is the breast way to keep updated on these threads, after they go downhill and locked away. The only thing I can say to the mods is "Bra humbug".

[Tonsko]

Yeh, they will nipple and dime us if we're not careful.

[ManFromDelmonte]

Now that thread has gone it's just a bad mammary.

[Tonsko]

We can milk this further, I know it.

The problem for me with the Sub is that A)too many people are wearing it, and B)it seems that SOME of those wearing it have taken out loans or HP in order to buy it so at to "pose". I know a few people on £30-40k pa wearing them and i dont feel that someone on such a basic annual earnings amount should be wearing a £5k watch. There are however guys who have been wearing it since the 70s, who bought it for the right reasons and respect to them.

Has to be a (misguided) pisstake, no?

Conflating 'basic annual earnings amount' - eh? - with the right to wear a watch? Nah.

I'm not sure which was more embarrassing. Him, or your obsession with him.

The obsession, for sure.

This is a classic, and no remorse from the fkwittery of the OP.

You have to be joking. You own a prestige car and have no idea how to remove the residue from a tax disc holder!!!

You should get your valeter to do it or you are an idiot.

I can't believe people here are taking this seriously and offering advice.

Forum reaching new lows.

The Aston Martin forum really is awful. Worse than Ferrari. The Ferrari owners know some of the cars can be a bit naff, but they're fun and like them anyway. The Aston forum think they bought a get-out-of-naff-free card, and thus whatever they do they can't possibly be excruciatingly vain and pleased with themselves.

A good number of them genuinely seem to feel that simply buying the car lifted them onto a different plane. Like getting knighted, or winning MasterChef.

I've looked at some of the other comments from the lady who made the comment I quoted, and she really does come across as a snooty cow. To be blunt!

I sometimes read these threads and I wonder: has there ever been a nice Aston Martin owner?

And then I think, hold on a minute, that's a crass and undeserved generalisation that lumps together a whole set of people that only happen to share one trivial characteristic.

So. Are there any nice Aston Martin owners alive today?

None. tts, every last one of them.

They seem to live in their own microcosm of narcissism, posturing and mutual self congrtatulary back slapping.

I have never seen anything like it......the forum seems to be a collection of small stories, written by Alan Partridge.

Indeed, people who own Astons tend to live on estates - albeit high end. Superficially acceptable but mind-numbingly dumb in the reality.

I am getting into the 'cringeworthy scene'..

[BrabusMog]

I know two Aston owners, both V8 Vantages, both in gunmetal grey. The first owner is a great guy and he really helped me out at the start of my career. The second is an "entrepreneur" and the most self absorbed tt I've ever come across in my life, so I need to know a third owner to be able to form a sweeping judgement about the 1000's of Aston owners out there.

I agree the aston boys seem to be top heavy with nobbs

Nothing worse than a cheesy AM Vantage with a numberplate referring to James Bond e.g. JO07 SPY or some such crap.
