So what have you done with your Aston today? (Vol. 2)

The original and the best imo - such a pure and well proportioned shape

Yep and it's completely original other than the aerial, we currently have a blanket 40mph maximum speed limit here on the Island, one of the measures to reduce stress on the hospital, so it was just a gentle bimble last night, but still very enjoyable and no insects to clean off afterwards either!!

Rushed it over the Autobahn.

Looks well that.

[LordBretSinclair]

Just sat looking at it whilst listening to Pop Master

[Milky400]

This..... wasn’t a fan of the chrome and didn’t want them wrapped So removed and replaced, hugely over engineered part.

What a PITA it was to.

Arranged for this to be fitted to my v12

I wouldn't bother looks like they have rusted to me.

I think that’s just heat cycling. These are circa 15 months old

Other than taking out the V12 for fresh fuel and a bit of a blast (to Waitrose) to cheer me up over the weekend, only this:

We lost our beloved bengal cat Roy on Thursday to a hit and run situation (which is awful as we live in the middle of nowhere - i would never have thought of this happening) - anyway whilst being distraught and tearful all weekend I noticed her muddy pawprints all over the car cover in the garage. The vantage is the only car we keep at home and she loved walking over anything valuable or fragile! We decided to surrender the car cover to her memory and painted her paw prints in so we keep them forever. For us it felt good and right. Miss her like crazy though.

Awww, that's such a nice thing to do. We lost one of our beautiful rough collie dogs a few weeks back, and I know how much it hurts to lose a family pet.

Gave mine a wash and blow dry. Then treated to a spritz of Dodo juice

So sorry to hear of your loss, that's so sad and my heart goes out to you and your family. Such a lovely idea to commemorate Roy in that way and I hope that in time it brings a smile to your face whenever you go to take the car out, or just gaze at it's beautiful shape beneath the cover.

[Felonious]

What a good way to remember and celebrate a much-loved pet. And Roy, by the way, is an excellent name for a cat. Especially one with the good taste to leave his footprints on such a gorgeous car.
