If you don't use it, sell it.

Just had a big cull, 911, Alfa, Marcos and Lotus all gone. They were all just sitting downstairs gathering dust and draining their batteries because I would always take the Aston everywhere.

A new toy was needed and that is actually getting some use as a Morgan is the polar opposite to a DB9 smile

Sell it, if you miss it you can always come back!

Mr Orange,

Now the weather is clearing, put the RR in the Garage, dust off your AM and start using it. I use mine as my daily drive (9k miles in a year) and I find ANY excuse to drive it. Even if you end up selling it, at least use it for the last couple of months. smile

Plan a European trip this summer. We took our DB9 last September to the Black Forest; Switzerland; over the Alps; Lake Garda;; Verona; Nice;Grenoble; and Beaune. 10 days of sheer enjoyment. If you like the reaction of people in this country to seeing your Aston wait till you get on the continent. The Italians were falling out of their car windows screaming encouragement.

Not another car like it.

Just my twopence worth.

Hi

Did you do a write up of the trip, sounds interesting.

Cheers folks, a wide mixture of opinions and views, love the non-partisan feeling. I've decided to get rid and put it on AT at a price to sell - when I get a chance I'll add it on PH.

Mixed feelings so far. As stated by someone above ... "I can always come back". I've not decided what is next, oddly attracted to the "Morgan" comment but may choose to gamble on the weather and have a (Sunday) year on the bike.

Well folks, it really is time to say farewell. Car is now sold and being picked up tomorrow. I may come back to the marque but 2013 is all about my bike. It's been fun and I wish you all well. Sayonara, Astonites.

best change your profile picture........always fancied a Plus 8 Morgan.....nice smile

and to the OP.....stop winging and get the bloody thing out the garage.....if you still feel the same way at the end of May then flog it as it will be perfect timing for max/price/summer
