Just thought i would add two.. Ok not astons on tour but chasing a 430 with tubi exhaust for a week and 2k miles!!! Oh my god... Everyone needs a road trip in an aston :-)
Over 2k miles in a week and my baby didn't skip a beat!! Errrmmm the 430 had a few little features but we still made it back :-)

What did the fezza driver do about luggage? One of the great things about the Vantage is luggage carry capacity

Hi Paul, conditions in that first photo look familiar - all adds to the drama tho' doesn't it?!

Neil - you're right about the luggage - I've just about got it sussed now (well I would have done if I had taken winter clothes not summer ones ). Must say tho' that the coupe has considerably more luggage space than the roadster

I wasn't going to mention the hat - such is my kindly disposition and discretion Since you've put that one up tho' you do realise that it's the sort of photo that may come back to haunt you You're a brave man Mikey

[mikey k]

A roadster owner can never have too many hats!

Yeah - I gathered you had a bit more snow than us Steve If you've still got the 'sponsorship' on the car you won't be hard to spot at Burghley

No idea what you're attempting to do here, looks like you're hauling something in on a line! Great pictures.
