I took my daughter to the prom in the Vanquish Volante.

However, her mother suggested that I could fit two of her other friends in the car. WTF? So we had me driving with my knees up by my ears so someone could fit behind and the top down. Because the top was down, we could go over 20mph otherwise their expensive hairdos would get blown about. Thankfully it was only a couple of miles away.

I was told to "stop showing off" by my daughter when the car gave a roar on start up.

If I'm not mistaken that's the medium one.

It killed me too. I did better the second time with a different beverage.

Visited the newly opened Aston Martin Nottingham dealership. Impressive facilities and an excellent range of new and used cars on site. The green Vulcan is gorgeous - must go and buy a lottery ticket ........

Sold my DB9V frown Actually a very sad moment having had the car for 4.5 years. Strange - since I got the Vanquish S I just don't use the DB9V any more at all, but still very sad to see her go, some sort of solace to be had even with her just sitting in the garage all year!

Yep, also found an excuse to go in yesterday (need a new washer jet). Very impressive stuff in there and I got a quick tour of the workshop while they were working on a GT8. They had a DB5, a DB6 and a GT8 upstairs along with the green Vulcan. No doubt my car will end up in there sooner or later so it'll be interesting to see how good the service is.

As for my Aston, it's had the geo's done which has made a huge difference, they were previously well out. I highly doubt the previous owner ever had them done. Hopefully it'll also prolong the life of the new rubber I've put on.

Great looking car wink I have done the same to mine with a few other bits.....

Got DAE to fit the AP Springs and they create the perfect stance.
