It's arrived, no not a new Aston

[shunt]

I mentioned a while ago, a small ugly hatch was being added to the fleet. I work in the water industry and an Aston doesn't belong on those sites. The Golf was getting a bit long in the tooth and after all the great write ups this little fella gets it was time to get back into another BMW. So here it is, I know it's not a looker, but it does have something about it, that 8 speed ZF box is a joy and for a turbo'd 3 litre it sounds great, pulls well too but still running it in.

Let the slating commence:

Let the slating commence:

1) cracking car, love the colour
2) garage could do with a tidy
3) garden lawn needs edging, it looks a but raggy
4) lawnmower needs a new blade I think looking at it.

1) cracking car, love the colour - Cheers, best colour IMO
2) garage could do with a tidy - Maybe but everything fits and I know where it is
3) garden lawn needs edging, it looks a but raggy - Agreed.
4) lawnmower needs a new blade I think looking at it - You can't see it it's in front of the BMW, 40" ride on. But hasn't been serviced for years so you're probably right too.

Good observation skills

I do like the colour, and I am sure its very capable.

Drove one recently on the ' Sandringham Stages ' that is the AC Schnitzer UK importers ( a customer of mine) demo...... What a car!!
I'm sure you will enjoy it

Could have got yourself a proper M car.....
Lol

I'm an arse rather than tit man and that car looks dreadful from behind to my well tuned eye.

The Aston looks great though, sort of winking at you and saying " who's the pretty one then?"

That's why he bought it, just so it makes the Vantage look better...

Although in all seriousness, it was good choice...if you don't have eyes

I've lost count of the number of proper M cars I've had. As a daily hack they became a pain.

Great motors, both of them. I love the m135, great to drive, just as long as you don't have the look at it. Birds do a chip and an LSD and with that on the Aston May struggle to keep up..
