Too common!

[Zod]

Yesterday morning, I was waiting for a taxi on East Heath Road in Hampstead when, within the space of two minutes, a 10 reg DB9 coupe, a 56 reg DB9 Volante, a DBS and a Rapide all drove past.

If I'd been driving my own car, that would have added a fifth.

The morning before, when I was driving in my own car, I stopped at the traffic lights and a Cygnet drew up alongside. Oddly enough, the (male) driver wouldn't meet my eye.

(this post was made with tongue firmly in cheek - I was up in the Leeds/Bradford area last week and didn't see another Aston in three days)

I was in a bar in Clapham a few weeks ago and was almost sure they were giving Astons away free just up the road. Must have had 5 or 6 pass by the window in the space of 20 mins.

Any more and they would have outnumbered the black cabs

Common as muck eh!

Actually Ive never once seen another V12V on the road as part of normal life (i.e. not an owners meeting or AM event), but I see quite a few V8V's, DB9's and DBS, but very rarely more than 2 in any single day - but then I don't live in London where you have money hemorrhaging out of your ears!

LOL...for sure modern Astons are a lot more common than Newport Pagnell cars....

I live in a village but I know of another few Astons within 5 miles and im sure theres more

the public impression of modern Astons being more "common" than say Ferrari or Lamborghini, isnt related to production volumes as some Italian models are made in more numbers

its the fact that Aston owners actually DRIVE their cars more and many Italian marques are garage queen weekend cars for sunny days

There isn't one within about 40 miles of my home in Wales (that I've seen anyway); my rented place in Reading the nearest is about a 2 minute walk away

See plenty in London but have only seen one other while driving.

I live in West London ( SW13). There is another DB9 at the office, and I would say pretty much every morning I see at least 2. Today was a Cygnet (owned by another parent at School) and a 61 registered Vantage and a Y reg blue DB7. There are 2 others that live above 300 yds away - so there are no shortage of them about!

Are you a cyclops, Zod ???

I've seen at least one DB9 every day for the last 3 years

Common as muck, as they say up here

I was on the A50 near Ashbourne the other day in our lorry and saw a V8 Vantage coming the other way, at that exact moment an Y reg DB7 in Chiltern Green came past me....thought at first someone had nicked mine till I saw the plate!

Drove 200 miles across England yesterday (not in my AM), hoping perhaps to see at least one Aston Martin for the Spotted Topic.

Not a single Aston was seen during that journey. Delightfully rare.

For my AM fix, drove past the Lancaster workshops near Sevenoaks.
Numerous Aston Martins (including a Rapide S), lots of Bentleys and about six new McLarens (all in bright colours).

I thought I saw a cygnet the other day then realised its the new fiesta! That bloody grill and front looks familiar

See Astons kicking about most days up here in Aberdeen.
