What insults have been thrown at you?
Discussion
I'm sure fellow soft top owners will agree one of the fascinating aspects of our cars is that you hear far more of what the GP say about you and your car
I have only been insulted (knowingly) in the Aston once, driving through Conway when an idiot tried to show off to his girlfriend by abusing me - she looked at him with such distain in her eyes that I think he managed to achieve the opposite effect to the one he was aiming for.......

Relating to my car I think I've only been insulted by other owners... and mostly while in a pub... and well deserved.
I guess I'm doing something wrong!
Round that London way DB9s are more common than Mondeo's, so people probably just think I'm poor and/or I need to MTFU with more cylinders.

Only ever had one
Can't quite recall where but on one of our Eurotours
Middle age English couple walk past as we are parked up roof down
Wifey says "ohh look a a convertible Aston Martin"
Bald portly husband say "yeah tosser couldn't afford the roof though"
Actually quite witty but for the underlying jealousy

Not in an Aston but way back had a BMW 525 for 10 years, never had any 'scum bag' problems. Within 2 weeks of changing it for an X5, had experienced all 3 of the well know hand/finger gestures,,,what a wonderful world.I guess I'm doing something wrong!

Indeed, my stupidity is legend 
As to the badges you seem to wear with pride... I see no honour whatsoever but they are certainly well-deserved.
Please guys,,,I've no axe to grind here at all, but the exchanging of insults is really boring in the extreme and anyway below you both. We're here to enjoy sharing our thoughts and experiences and anything Aston Martin,,,,respectfully yours. As to the badges you seem to wear with pride... I see no honour whatsoever but they are certainly well-deserved.

Yeti, do you remember when 3 of us pulled into a fuel station after a little bit of spirited driving. An irate van driver pulled in and started shouting at us. You did not react at all . He pointed at me shouting "As for that --cking idiot " I started to giggle , then came the best bit he shouted " You are nothing but a Trio of -unts". Fantastic. Molly looked perplexed.
remember it well, I put it down to you two tweed covered aggro magnets, training bras ain't quick enough to upset people 
Only one silly incident really. Picture the scene. Stopped at junction waiting to turn left and a bloke I vaguely knew was standing outside the pub smoking. Top was down and think he said something like tosser but took no notice. Drove round the corner and out the corner of my eye thought I saw him throw something at the car. Carried on and when I next stopped had a quick look at the car. Nothing seemed wrong until I saw a burn hole in the mesh on the wind deflector. Long story short, police not interested etc etc.
Then a strange thing happened to the 'bloke'. Very soon after I noticed he was drinking in the same pub and by some amazing coincidence he was stopped by the police later that night in his classy Vectra and breathalysed. Second time so banned for 3 years.
Still got the hole in the deflector though....

Whilst sitting at a junction in a traffic jam - caused by a bunch of suking Astons I might add - on a run around Yorkshire ( I think!)last year, a nice friendly lycra clad gentleman on his bicycle shouted to me " get a bike" to which my instant reply was "get a life"

Proof, if ever needed, that cyclists are w
kers.Not in my Aston but I still love this one
Whilst being in Tatton Park watching an open air concert.....eating a whole lobster and sipping Bollinger a lady came up to me and called me " the most arrogant man she had ever met" I thanked her and asked if she would care for a glass of champagne ......she declined and stormed off
She of course was right

Someone on the main board was very insulting of the AM section of PH.....called us all kinds of names.....he particularly seemed to take offence at a contributor talking about having a watch strap made out of the same leather as his Aston's interior on here.....
Oh the humanity, surely no-one could be that ghastly...Got a link to the thread Jonby?

I sold my DB9 in January of this year and bought a Lamborghini Gallardo.
Before the DB9 I had a V8 Vantage.
Throughout the 3 1/2 years of owning the Astons I never received one single insult. Quite the contrary, the cars were often met with smiles and a " thumbs up " sign .
How different with the Lamborghini .There really must be some sort of hate thing here in Plymouth against the marque. The latest came from three yobs in a Ford Focus "shedster." After 20 seconds of revving the engine whilst in slow moving traffic alongside me in the Lamborghini , the moron in the front passenger seat of the Focus wound down the window and shouted " c**t ." I smiled and replied " Yes but at least I am a rich one !"
This produced a puzzled look on his face and ended up with him giving me a " V " sign as I pulled away.
Pathetic really.
Before the Astons , I had a series of Porsches. I can recall attending a Porsche Club Great Britain event in Surrey a few years back with a GT3 , and staying overnight at an up market hotel. When I came out to the car park the following morning to drive home I found that someone had spat all over the car. If I had caught them , there would have been blood , and it wouldn't have been mine.
