So what have you done with your Aston today?

Yesterday I fitted some custom Audio knobs to my V8V, very pleased with them indeed.

Try looking on RS components website...loads of cheap knobs on there.....less than you think...but if you want solid stainless steel custom made....including the sat nav toggle.....look it up on 6 speed on line.....

You should investigate whether you can produce aluminium replacements for the crappy electric seat controls.

You'd make a fortune.

I'd buy some!

+1 but I'd want them in a shiny (i.e. not black) finish.

After quite a few months I finally have moved in to my new house with a garage and driveway. So the V8V now has a nice warm place to spend the night and somewhere to get cleaned on Sunday.

First wash in about 4 months, and the sun came out

I do like those wheels on Vantages.

As travel has kept me away from any meaningful engagements, I was remiss in getting the wheels/Sottozero`s fitted, although I did have time to organise getting the 7-spokes redone in anthracite in the interim. I drove to my dealer to get the switch done on Friday, snowed lightly on the way, which gave me a pretty interesting comparison on grip levels!

That's a lovely pic.

I know the feeling!
Are you running Eagle F1`s on there? I have Summer & winter Goodyear tyres on my Audi, and they are great on that.

Tucked up for a dry winter but still useable. Anyone else use these Carcoons?

Not yet but I am thinking of getting one what do you think of them?

Swiss rush hour ! Now that's an example of why it's called a rear view mirror... One stopped to have a sniff at the heat rising from the bonnet vents, a little rev persuaded her to discontinue.

That was a bit mean,,,she just wanted to say hello and check which herd you were from.

Haha, Maybe... I could have wound the window down and she should have been sniffing inside the car to check herd origins... but that would probably be even more mean, and maybe result in psychological damage.

Repaired rear light, had a deep scratch after it got caught on brickwork, don't ask. Meguiars headlight restoration works well. Saved replacing the light.
