Have just learnt that the former owner of our local VW/Audi chain of dealerships recently purchased a new Vanquish - his 2nd new Aston apparently. Evidently an R8 is not good enough for him 
Anyone else aware of unlikely AM owners who couldn't resist the best of British?
The thought flashed thru' my mind Rob that you were going say the pedestrian extra made famous in your recent vid. Anyone else aware of unlikely AM owners who couldn't resist the best of British?

Didn't Jordan have a pink DB9?
Please tell me this isn't true because I am no way ready to sell my Aston yet. Does the fact that mine is a V8V make the association weak enough such that I can keep it? The used DB9 market is about to be flooded. Your depreciation curve is about to become a cliff. 
Going off topic but love it when people don't realise you're the owner.
I came back to my DB9 at a car park and there were 5 or 6 youths standing round takng pics of each other aroung it, I said to one of them, you'd be really embarrassed if the owner came along to which they all laughed, I then unlocked the car. The looks on there faces was priceless....

I can relate to that - I picked up a friend the other day and said "of all the cars in this car park, which do you fancy a go in".. "got to be the aston.."

Rumour has it that you've traded up to a F type
Some months ago I made three failed attempts to drive an F.Type . On each occasion the dealership let me down resulting in no drive. At the time my interest was slight. After the exemplary service that I have received from H.R.Owen Aston Martin in Cheltenham my slight interest was reduced to Nil !divetheworld said:

Seems very confused. I'm always suspicious of people who take a beautiful design created by a genius and think "I reckon I can make that better by randomly inserting leather/carbon/shinies". Whether that be a Masonry Vanquish S or a leather cover for their iPad.
