So what have you done with your Aston today?

[David W.]

Lovely pub and area. Didn't find any good driving roads though, to many at 40 with speed cameras.

No there arn't many good roads, the county is small really and as you say too many 20/30/40 zones

Saw this Vanquish at St Athans concours and on the cover of the AMOC mag - did you compete this time?

Yes. Came 2nd (again). Really pleased though as the car was driven through all sorts on the way down (wild ponies on Bodmin Moor = wild st on the roads), arrived at the Inn when dark so got up at 6:00 to wash car. Finally managed to speak to the manager to turn alarm off of Inn at 7:40 so drove straight to venue following two sat navs, both giving different directions. The "6 miles" took the best part of an hour, with much of this chasing flippin' pheasants on rutted, muddy roads that insist on running in front of car rather than going to the side or, heaven forbid, flying away. No fun up-hill in a Vanquish. So little time to wipe the 300 miles of st, literally, off the car.

Congrats on a well earned 2nd place then

Well, she looked like a minter to me! One of the best looking cars ever made imo to boot!

Only had mine 3 months, last night was the first time I drove it in the dark.

just had the black pack fitted to my V12V, looks so much nicer

[steveway]

whilst there had a good look round at all the facilities, must be one of the best show rooms ever, workshops are spotless and such nice staff, and these two beauties plus this one

That's the 1st time I've seen a Vanquish & a DB9 close together. Very interesting to see the size difference between the 2. I thought they were the same wheelbase length.

Always wondered what the Circuits des Remparts was like as an event.
Would you recommend it?

Yes, definitely. Great roads down there, stayed at Hotel De France (Aston team hotel near Le Mans), event is well organised, very hairy street racing, some great cars, especially the Bugattis.

Mine arrived a week ago but I haven't had the time to fit it on my grey '07 V8V. Doing the same, just the windows and tail pipes (I've got the Aston Martin Racing GT3/4 mesh grille on it).
