So what have you done with your Aston today?

[Y100]

Yesterday; Unplugged the trickle charger,,,a blast into town,,,a blast home,,,reconnected the trickle charger,,,I think we both enjoyed it.

[Y100]

Actually this was yesterday,,,,here in a bracing northerly airflow of 15kts, air temp +2C, wind chill -3C, Francis, sporting his favourite really warm shorts, demonstrates his huge 'commitment' to the marque,,,a true stalwart.

[Y100]

Ha,,,,funny old world,,,back on Monday 17th June 2013, I could never have imagined.

Imagined what Bob ?
Smoking a fag ?
Making love to a man ?

None of the above (stupid boy),,,that the topic title would encompass, attract, such diverse experiences.

Well you must have realised that any topic ,very often,strays off topic on the Aston Forum,that's the fun of it.

Well yes Steve, indeed I do and indeed it is, diuque permanente.

[Y100]

Such a beautiful day, unplugged the trickle charger, cracked open the car room door, headed for the high road and gave Vesuvius her head,,,,jees I'm a lucky bloke.

Love how you refer to it as the car room instead of the garage Bob

Ain't no joke Georgie boy,,,,,,

It would be very rude to call that a garage! Love the picture of your car with the Centenary badge on it. Fabulous

Ian thank you,,,this headrest embroidery (courtesy Bamford Rose) ensures that in the distant future, should ever the plate be sold, Vesuvius will remain very much a Centenary car.

Its a great space. What is the floor please? It looks like carpet. Also, do you ever reverse the car in? I've got a similar narrow doorway and I haven't plucked up the courage to try backing it in yet.

Flooring is Modena Andesite 404, go here to see more: http://www.polyflor.com/modena

"In" no but out, well yes, every time. Actually its not that narrow, its a long way from the camera.

[Y100]

Little and Large,,,would you two kindly stop playing hard to get and post some pics,,,,oh yes, it would be absolutely wonderful if you would both turn up at Cadwell on the 30th.

[Y100]

Spent 2 and a half hours under a high cloud sky (perfect) bringing Vesuvius back to a pristine shine after her gallops around Cadwell Park on the 30th, it feels so good.

[Y100]

Opened the car room door, switched on the lights, smiled, walked over to the G-Tech sweeper, unplugged it and switched it on,,,whilst not taking my eye off Vesuvius, scanning every inch of her perfect form, I pushed the sweeper up, down and around, nothing but a lonely incy wincy could I find, so he had to have it. Parked the sweeper, punched the dehumidifier On button,,,still smiling, strolled back to the door to switch off the lights,,,then with the decorum one must employ when leaving a room after an audience with a Royal, I turned and bowed towards her gorgeousness, reversing out of the door closing it firmly but quietly as I went.

Witness a man, living his dream.

Picked up my classic Aston post engine work from Aston Engineering

It could not be in better hands,,,congratulations Graham ,,,may you live a long and happy life together.

[Y100]

After a 50 minute drive yesterday evening, spent 45 minutes this morning removing the squished bugs. I know which I preferred George.

[Y100]

A 50 minute 'Sport Mode' drive in perfect weather conditions,,,but those pesky squished flies,,,, little barstards.

[Y100]

7 BXH. Would that be DBR2/2,,, I wonder?

[Y100]

Vesuvius gone to BR, her home from home; High time she enjoyed a well deserved health check, that she's still pumping out every single one of those scrumptious 580 bhp's.

[Y100]

I hope you enjoyed St Tropez. I live here, drop me a pm next time and we'll have a drink or two! Lots of Porsche's and Ferrari's down here but surprisingly few Astons.

Is that cos they're made in England,,,, More likely because they lack the flamboyance of their continental cousins.
