Not too bad ive been quoted £400 from Chartwells in Derby.

I would not be overly disappointed with this price, though I get where Neil's coming from

Yes Phil absolutely pointless expenditure!!!
Makes my blood boil.

My sympothies...... I bet u feel gutted, I know exactly how you feel....

Am afraid I wouldn't be able to control my anger if I caught the little to$$er in the act!!!!!

It would be the last thing they would ever touch!!!!!!

I hope u get it sorted with little hassle.

Any more pics of the Toleman? What's the reasoning behind it being in an Aston dealers too? I can understand McLaren having their own cars in their dealers, would make more sense for AM to put a DBR9 or V8V GT3 there.

Perhaps the reasoning is that they have a Toleman but they haven't got a DBR9 or a V8V GT3....

Its not a dealership just a very good bodyshop.

I thought it was an Aston dealership not just a body repair place. My point was why would Aston Martin have a Toleman?

Btw, you're at BSB next week aren't you? I'm there Monday

Yep... Come over and say hello..... I might even make you a cup of tea in my posh motorhome...

I'll send you a PM on how to find me

PAUL, pretty Aston
here in Spain, there is much envy, it is dangerous to leave the car parked on the sidewalk, people park by ear, scratched bumpers
always park away from other cars, have full insurance € 1800.
is difficult to leave the car, always parking, and space between vehicles.

I didn't believe it until I saw it for myself but in Spain they sure do park by ear and nearly every car has some front or rear bumper scuff...at the very least, they also like to park real close, then when trying to get out of a tight spot they nudge like buggery to get out, nobody gives a s**t. I was horrified at first, then found it almost amusing at the ineptitude of some of the drivers. In all honesty it puts me off driving my Aston over there.

Big T - I hear in the cities like Paris that the problems are caused by people leaving their handbrakes ON !!

The accepted norm appears to be one where they park so tightly that a gentle shunt back and forward to get out is de rigueur.

Many cars now have the 12 mph bumpers I imagine ??
