Greetings Ed. I think you're suggesting the plural of Astonaut should/could be Astoneers?

PS: Watch out for the icy patches this morning Ed.

A fellow Aston PH 'er calls us TOSSERS and I think that fits the bill admirably.
With exception of Molly, of course.

Martingales?

Well, seems to me 'Astonauts' works the best since it reminds of Argonauts. Now I need only change my name to Jason...

As a new AM owner I think Astonaught is really funny!

This subject has been debated quite recently on another thread and will probably never be resolved :

Not sure about the term for a collection of Aston Martins but I have trade marked the term Astonauts for a bunch of Aston drivers

That's brilliant!
The term has been in use for sometime now as can be seen from this forum quote from July 2012:

"After their driving adventure through Herefordshire and into the Brecon Beacons the Astonauts arrive at The Gliffaes to refresh themselves for the homeward journey (with afternoon tea on the terrace )

Meanwhile, sometime later, Tony (& Jamie) manage to round up the car at the back of the pack (Jockman):

Apparently Yeti lays claim to earlier use of the term 'Astonaut' (hi Lewis - glad you are still checking up on us )- but can he prove it?

You could introduce a Sean Connery angle and call yourselves Ashtonauts or Ashtoneers.
ETA: that's if the 007 reference doesn't make you cringe.

Too shubtle for shome.

Oh yes, welcome aboard,,,hope to see you at Rockingham on the 21st March where we plan to enjoy a day 'excercising' our Aston Martin muscles. It'll be the first time many of us have taken our cars on a track, so lots to learn. If you would like to join us, you can sign up on the Rockingham Track day thread.

I originated the term Astoneers many moons ago when setting up a local South East group meeting at the Woodman in Ide Hill nr Sevenoaks in Kent.

This later became nationally Astonauts.

Don't think it matters really whatever term is used..
