OMG - the most beautiful Aston I have ever seen: metallic grey, DB4 Zagato, near Mickleton Gloucestershire.
I wanted to stop the man driving to gasp and dribble at the car, but that seems like stalking or some weird and similar thing...

Is there a hidden meaning in your perceptive observation ?
I do not have an AMOC grill badge,albeit I am a member.
What struck me was the determined look on his face.
I even stuck one red trousered,out of my side window,to gain attention.
It was as if he was thinking...." No way will I acknowledge your presence,you in your lowly DB9V. I am driving a real Aston,so bugger off ".
I think I'm becoming paranoid.

It could be your man is the paranoid one, paranoid someone is going attract his attention and in that split second the car in front has stopped. Imagine it Steve, owning one and driving it along a busy street full of 'idiots in worthless cars that they don't give a st about',,,paranoid, about right.
Note to self: must send off for AMOC badge...oh yes, and a pair of red trousers,,,might clash a bit with Vesuvius though,,,,or praps I'm being a bit paranoid there.

You're driving along in your db4, wife by your side and then you see some guy waving frantically in a Chrysler convertible full of ladyboys. I can understand why he might have pretended not to see you

Thought about it and decided that you do have a fair point there.

Dark coloured V8 Vantage roadster going through Col Di Val D'elsa in Tuscany, was just about to fill mine up when you went past in the rain.
In 9 days over here we have only seen 1 996, a Ferrari California so was a surprise to spot a UK registered Vantage.
