So what have you done with your Aston today?

[flow99]

Collected my DB11, long time coming from a serial Porsche man and a 150 mile drive home.

[Ken Figenus]

And...? Going from a Beetle to a V12 must surely have more words ;-)

Love the bold colour - China Grey in Porsche language I think?

[V8LM]

Collected the Bullock from Rikki Cann's and stopped at NP on the way home:

Go down that route and you can't argue when people pull your leg about having two Sierra V6s under the bonnet.

Is grey a bold Aston colour? Coming from a Miami Blue GT3 I thought it was fairly subdued.

V8LM, tremendous car in great location!

But I do wonder what is going on on the other side of the road: For me it looks like the estate of the historical entrance buildings is due for sale or teardown? Maybe old news, but I have no clue. Can anyone with local knowledge comment?

Beautiful classic Newport Pagnell Aston.
Happy to see Sunny Side is still standing!

Much debate and arguing. 3 Story is/was to become the “factory” for the recreation/continuation cars. 2 Story is not in a good state. The Company, AMOC, and Heritage Trust have been in lengthy discussions.

Tremendous car - depressing NP.

[S1-NOS]

Gave it a clean, went for a spin....

[Quarterly]

That looks stunning.

[bullet7]

The Aston looks really good too

[CSK1]

That would be great news if Sunnyside could become home of the AMOC.

That`s a choice looking Vantage!

[Mr.Tremlini]

Took a friend for a drive in the Tungsten Terror, then let him have a turn and opened the exhaust valves. Not sure how much he enjoyed it as he then reverted to Swiss German and repeated himself a lot... He was giggling a chuckling a substantial amount though.

When you look at that photo you realise that the Vantage really is the e-type of our generation.

Its OK as I am qualified to jest as I have a tall Beetle that I am quite smitten with I believe the Aston has transit con-rods mind (but at least Aston nip up the big end bolts up properly);) I'll behave now Rich and get back on topic - here's a snap from a recent jaunt to the Ardeche in my still much adored Rapide:
