V8 Vantage key fob

Hi every body
why do i have a Volvo Key fob?
looks silly when you put your keys on the Bar and some body asks what Volvo do you own

Or try and pick up women by showing your keys off in a bar

Get an ECU for that!

Tell em you own an XC90. Great cars.

[Jaguarman22]

Thanks
maybe should just stick to taking the Vanquish out and then can say I have a Aston and not a Volvo Ha Ha next

[Mr Noble]

Get yourself a car with a glass key

[Jaguarman22]

must admit this car is like owning my mates S60 good Taxi

[bogie]

I have a Volvo too so dont notice much

lots of the switches, vents and stalks etc are nice Volvo parts too ...poke around deeper and you may find the odd Jaguar relay ..

I would guess a previous owner lost a key fob and then sourced a new one from Volvo. The genuine Aston Martin ones don't have Volvo visibly printed on them.

[Jaguarman22]

thanks that is what I wanted to know
nice to be sencible

You could always put a "My other car is an Aston" sticker on it.

[Jaguarman22]

I like that

Yes they do, it's under the thin coating of leather. Can just about feel the VOLVO text under the leather on the more worn of my two fobs...

S the leather may just have worn out and ben torn off. Stick something over it

Buy a 4.7

Just buy a glass key to place on the bar! It's a lot cheaper than a new car!

Or you could wear an Aston Martin cap and T-shirt all the time

It's a bit of a fashion faux pas though to wear branded clothing from the same make as your car.

Depends really.. Aston event, Le Mans, FofS etc it's OK. The pub is an absolute no-go.

Agreed Georgeous.

But then again, you look a right dick wearing branded clothing of a car you don't have either

Oh bks.
That's my Christmas t shirt from my daughter consigned to the bottom draw.

As said above, even the genuine Aston fobs (early ones) would wear down to reveal a Volvo logo beneath the leather covering. Making sure I keep mine in good condition
