Looks gorgeous Looking forward to seeing it the flesh (or metal!)
I would not know how to choose which to drive. What a dilemma to have
Enjoy Fay
Hi Fay. A great position to be in but with everything we have lined up this year both will get a good run out. It is really amazing how different they are to drive and how they sound. If you are at the Bonhams auction or the concours she will be there . Let's hope the sun shines!I would not know how to choose which to drive. What a dilemma to have

Not today but yesterday...
I discovered that the wipers cut out if the bonnet is open.
I discovered this when I collected the car from the paint shop, having had the bonnet painted, and I joined the motorway. The bonnet popped up on to the catch and the wipers stopped - it was a torrential downpour at the time so I'm lucky there wasn't an accident. Could barely see enough to find a lay-by!

Met up with the great Cardiff PH Aston gang:
Had a nice lunch down Cardiff Bay.
Then we all paid £25 for an extra 5 mins to go see a nice boat LOL
- I hope 4 in a row made their day - so funny and a bargain compared to London parking rates!
Sorry about the tickets guys still feel partly to blame.
Great to see you all.

You could do with getting a windscreen sealant or rainx type stuff.I discovered that the wipers cut out if the bonnet is open.

Had my wheels refurbed and put on, awaiting the Center caps and haven't had time to even have a real good look as picked car up and drove it home and been out working ever since :-(

Did the same to mine the other week. Along with the darker wheel caps.BB
Amazing how many you see with a darker wheel colour still using the silver ones.
Cheers!
The exterior tweaks are pretty much there now.
Carbon: rear light inserts, diffuser, side blades, boot spoiler, door handles, wing mirrors & front splitter.
Satin black tailpipes, de-chromed & a carbon edition 6 bar grille.
Trying to resist sprucing the interior!

Just had the caps turn up today the same as yours, finishes it of nice. Can't understand why you'd out the silver ones back in(mine where messy anyhow) . You can get he stickers online easy enough if you just got a basic cap separated at the same time..Amazing how many you see with a darker wheel colour still using the silver ones.
Not sure whether to change the nuts too, although may get some Matt black but covers just to get a look first.
Mighty fine looking car you have there sir.

I had her Crystal Quartz smothered (like wax but longer, harder, better).
The guys did such a good job (way beyond the call...) that I made them a little 'walkabout' video for them as I had my camera kit in the other car. Honestly the gloss on the paintwork is absolutely staggering - far better even than my last pro applied Swisvax lovely stuff.
VID: https://youtu.be/CER4wuvR36Q
I then got her filthy driving 150 miles up the centre of Wales to here
It was so wet all the way and I am utterly and totally staggered at the wet grip from the Aston on Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Honestly it is better than my (fast) Beemer in the dry on what I thought were superb Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2. Then we drove back - although my mobile phone decided to stay as it liked the castle.
I like sharing these thoughts with the like minded as less than 1% of my mates know I have an Aston...and I am gushingly deliriously aston-ishingly happy with her!!!
Fabulous weekend :-)
