So what have you done with your Aston today?

[Markv8v]

well done!!!

You have put me to shame I haven't had mine out since November

I promise to try harder as said by others they don't dissolve in water.

Aluminium doesn't rust right?! Haha

I was visiting family in the peaks and don't often get the chance at any decent roads easily in London (I've only had it since November), the snow just added to the fun. There was still a surprising amount of grip though, I thought the RE050A weren't supposed to be much good.

Er no!
Rust is iron corrosion, aluminium suffers a worse effect in the presence of salt!
Both my Vantages suffered because of driving them in winter
For example!

Doubly glad I took it to Posh Wash on the way home then!

Bridgestones are fine ...more than fine....just not quite as good as the latest and greatest from Michelin...the Bridgestones were likely the best 12 years ago when they were being signed off for fitment on the Vantage

The scene this morning... I might delay picking the Vantage up until next week



Working in highway maintenance, it's been a busy 24 hours. The gritter and ploughing crews returned from a 15 hour shift at 8am and are due out again in a bit.

Gave it a wash, not sure if it was entirely necessary...



The 1970s Dinky DB5 had swiss "LU" plates on the revolvers! Just a blink and look twice flashback to my childhood!

Here’s a picture of mine out in the snow

I was going to take mine out for a drive but Lady S has left her car in front of the garages - how thoughtless !!!!!!

This LU plate maybe? I took the below shot at the Luzern Transport Museum back in 2010 after this Bond DB5 was officially revealed after coming out of hiding following a restoration. Had all the gismos, revolving plates, bullet proof shield, machine guns (which you can see sticking out from the indicators), car phone etc.

[Loose_Cannon]

Yes that's it, haha



With Dinky providing some presumably French plates and some not-so-legal looking UK ones. Wonder why they didn't put BMT216A on the toy?

Had friends visiting with two teenagers begging for a ride.. lets just say the smiles could not be wiped from their faces all evening...

Good man, it was Corgi Toys, not Dinky Toys! Everyone knows that.
