So what have you done with your Aston today?

[ChilliWhizz]

Checked her over for damage, I had her under the car port last night (the car) and we had very high winds, apparently up to 80mph according to this mornings local news reports.. blew parts of the roof off, mostly in to the field next door But, thankfully, no damage to the Aston

Glad to hear it - that must be a relief.
Luckily mine’s in a nice dry solid brick garage.

Wow ,that's a great looking garage Chilli...bespoke was it ?
Looks like it's not just the roof that blew off .....you may not have noticed that the doors have also blown away.
Pleased to hear the Aston's ok.

was quite funny and gave me a chuckle too. Nothing wrong with a DIY carport -Although It does look like during the storm my Grandads Rover got blown in by accident.

Garage doors are there .... seem to be blown into the back of the garage

pmsl , good spots by all!

You rotten bds. Right, it’s not a DIY carport, and that’s not someone’s granddad’s car either, it was my daughters and I’ve just had it MOT’d. The Aston would have been in the garage (the brick one not the wooden one with no doors and half the roof missing) but it’s occupied by my old MGB roadster and the Chim.

Rotten sods....

Some delightful git keyed mine before Christmas





Decided to get the boot patched up too



Decided to get the wheels done while I was at it



Got the rear grill bead blasted and powder coated



Still looks great at 12 years old!

[cayman-black]

It sure does!

83,216 miles in and the original clutch finally changed her last gear..

What to replace it with?

Well you're obviously capable of driving without prematurely destroying the standard clutch so that remains an option. However, if you are interested in the car performing to it's true potential then it has to be a twin plate with lightened flywheel.

A new clutch imo.

I think the spacers have upset the stance of the car somewhat.

After 2 long months, the Vantage came back from the body shop. The paint is all good, the sill fitting not so much - it'll be sorted in a few weeks when it gets serviced. Plans are afoot for some enhancements, we'll see how that goes

Regardless of the weather, it's a day out tomorrow to the workshop to work on the Corvette. One day I'll get a photo opportunity with both cars.

just had the rear lights changed to those by Divinatech with the change over done by Fisher Performance Cars, nice as it brings a modern look to the back end, video but not my car

I thought that when I first saw it advertised, only a three hour job as well, quite expensive but then what with an Aston isn't!

[old phart]

Love the lights. Been trying to fit an Audi tail light innards to get the sweeping turn signal. Might have to go this way.

Quick off topic was following a DB11 at a track day and noticed when they hit the brakes they would flash quickly a few times before going solid. This is normal?
