Time to try something a little different....

[V8Duke]

Guys and Girls,
I've remained in the background, but would really like to say a big thank you to all in the Aston section of the PH forum for the spot on advice given, but mainly for all the laughs and the very clever banter that gets thrown around. You've got me hooked and I'll be sure to keep a close eye on your adventures. Aston is a very unique brand that I feel every true petrol head should experience.

As the title suggests, I'm off to try another marque but I'm sure I'll be back very soon.

Thank you so much.

Nothing wrong with being in the background, enjoy the new marque and I presume that's a picture of it, the ferrari?

Hope to see you back some day, but in the meantime best wishes. Steve.

Correct, a 360 spider. With regards to how they compare, chalk and cheese really.
The one thing that I can confirm, nothing comes close the the sound of an Aston.

If you don't mind a turn coat in your ranks ill still turn up to the meets near me, but stay well hidden come photo time.

At the moment from the limited mileage ive covered, I wouldnt have necessarily said so. It does put a massive smile on your face though!

Two very different cars, that both have excellent qualities.

I do feel lucky to have found such a lovely example with low mileage and number of keepers. It's one of those cars that I always had posters of as a lad and hence has been on my list for some time.

As with the Aston, you open the garage door just to have a look at its lines and maybe try to polish the paint work to a mirror finish. Sad I know, but thats what I'm like.
