So what have you done with your Aston today?

[S1-NOS]

Removed the rear valance and rear parking sensors to clean up the surrounding corrosion / re-prime / re-paint.

Spent 15 mins trying to remove the 1st one before I realised I was pushing it the wrong way....!

Collected it after it had had a PPF at Elite Detailing.

Posed down the King’s Road (well, you would, wouldn’t you?).

Fitted some locking wheel nuts (180Nm is a lot of torque. Having once had three of four wheels nicked off a car, I’d prefer not to take the chance no matter how unlikely it is that a Aston wheels get nicked).

Bought a small bottle of Mobil 0-40 to keep in the boot just in case.

Fixed the bracket for the peage blipper thing for our trip to France/Germany/Belgium/the Netherlands at the end of the month. Is there ever a time when you’re not nervous as hell approaching the first toll booth wondering ”is this bloody thing going to work...?”

Just hope the brakes work sufficiently if they need to stop

Following some building work moved it from one garage to another 25yds away, but seemed to clock around 10 miles in the process

There is never a time. Always

Oh! I thought those signs meant minimum speed 30mph. Is it a max? Oops!

If you log on the website you can check the likelihood of the battery being low and if there is a risk of that they will replace the tag.

I like that. Did you spray your own nuts or can you buy them black?

Went to the British Car meeting in Stavelot this weekend with the V12...

Dealer demonstrator at Stavelot with limited edition alloys (no longer available) - car is for sale only 3k on the clock



DB6 parked at the Stavelot event - I would probably use the same wheel locking device to be honest...

Lol I’m saying nothing about my nuts thank you I rattle canned them with plastikote, was worried when torquing them up, took care when sliding the socket on & off and they were fine

[nonsequitur]

An Aston parked up next to me at Waitrose today. I'm pleased to say the driver retrieved his shopping bags from the rear seats prior to entering the store.

Best looking (on the outside) of the modern era Astons imho!

Smashing with the old pumps too.
