Its a grey haired man in sunglasses looking down at an angle!?! Unless you're looking at something else??
You're right, it is. But until you said that, it looked a bit like an alien looking up out of the top corner of the windscreen.

Far too much tyre shine biggrin

Needs more mud, more handbrake, more straight cut whine, more whiffs of hot Mintex.

driving into london tonight from stamford.

Leaving about 1600 - is it best to head straight in down Edgware and the a41 or go round to the M40?

:shrug:
Which part of London are you trying to get to?

I like the thought of buying an Aston on a whim.

They are not great to drive though. Really poorly positioned gearlever and such a heavy flywheel that it really bluntens the drive. Bamford Rose do a kit which apparently transforms them.

At closer to £20k I'd be tempted. Pretty as they are, despite having had two good attempts at buying one, I struggle to justify the costs for what you get.

Neck still rubberises when I see one. Whereas 911's don't get a second glance anymore.
