Mooching through town at lunchtime I passed a charity shop and spied a pair of cufflinks in the window.

Those look nice, thinks I, so in I jolly well pop.

They do, indeed, turn out to be passably nice.

Dunhill. Hallmarked 18ct gold.

They were £2.99.

Two pounds and ninety nine pence.

It should not surprise you to hear that I purchased them.

Sell them for £16 and buy a mug.

Cash only. No P/X.

The photograph purporting to be of it as it now is would suggest an unconventional restoration.

Not really sure I like that. The V8 was always more aggressive looking than the DB9 but that takes it too far IMO.

JAYB in a charity shop?! Wonders will never cease. Not surprised at the find though considering where you live, full of rich people innit biggrin

hehe

That's always a risk in spring/summer. The feckers hurt too!

Dicky, I saw a DB7 Coupe on the M25 the other day, something that struck me was how small they were! Looked good though.

Bigger than it looks. Think XJS. 16 feet long.

Bit embarrasing, I didn't realise PH had reached the same conclusion that now's the time to buy. There's a couple of mistakes. In the aricle they say Ian Callum styled it. He didn't really, he Astonified the abadoned Jaguar F type prototype. Real Aston or not, it's a lovely car.

Leafster, it's gone all warm and sunny.

fking Boatowners deserve to be thrown in the lesser utilised areas of the harbour mud.

"Me, me, me. I'm your most important and richest customer. Me first".

"No, every year we call you early to get ready, you ignore us. Last year, like the year before, you were rude to us and then complained about the bill because we put in the overtime to get you ready for that trip to France you didn't take because it was a bit windy".

Oh just fk off and wait your turn. rage

Me? I had a great day on the phone. biggrin
