So what have you done with your Aston today?

Eating humble pie - no early evening whisky for me anymore ;-)

To those of you who suggested 150,000 miles, do not worry.
You must be amongst the more youthful on here.

The more mature have experience of never seeing 100,000 on the odometer (99999 being the maximum, before 00000 again).
Mind you, in those days you were lucky if the engine lasted that long without a rebuild. How things change.

Very true Jon

When I was in my first cars the 100k was always view as time to get rid

Its similar to when timing belts first became popular with frequent changes now they last over 100k and plugs 60 or so

Drove from Newcastle to hull for the overnight Ferry to zeebrugge then drove to to st Jean du’alps near Geneva yesterday - today been blasting around the local roads, my god they are epic! Just stunning scenery too - what a beautiful part of the world.



Monaco tomorrow all being well!

The Vantage has been superb - what a car! Great on the fast roads / motorways and it came alive on the local twisty roads. Loving it...the icing on the cake being the secondary cat bypass noise - the hills are very much alive!!!!

I,m so Jealous! Fantastic.

Drove from the Ardeche on amazing twisty mountain roads.

And clear autoroutes

If on an apple device edit the pic a little, save and then re post.

... I got round to installing the 20m reel for compressor in garage.

Is that mainly for tyres?

In the main yes, but as we have large drive and 3 cars (general air top ups) also stretches nicely into garden for inflatables. Will also be adding a spraying cupboard at back of garage with worktop so it’s a diy tool runner

Cheers! Made it to Monaco - wow, what a place!





Relatively short trip up to Como later today

Enjoying it, if you get a chance get out there and enjoy your Aston’s for what they’re good at - driving!

Leaving Chamonix en route for the Furka Pass. No photos of the Aston and Mont Blanc together sadly, but hopefully this one of the Matterhorn should ease the pain.

I may have accidentally driven 40 miles on a Swiss motorway without either realising it until the end, or having bought a vignette. Am I going to be rounded up and shot?

The Grimselsee.

Left my DB11 in the drive for the weekend and borrowed a Wraith Black Badge from Rolls for the weekend. Definite contrast !

Yes, please line up at dawn.

Lucky you, the fine would have been 4x the cost of the vignette...

Bought a weekend with a RR at a charity auction planning to take my Dad out for his 80th birthday. Anyway due to logistical complications (not RR’s fault) it didn’t happen in time but I drove down to my parents and took them both out for lunch this weekend. Since it wasn’t his birthday I decided to forgo the Phantom and try a Wraith in the hope it would be a bit more of a drivers car. The interior was incredible quality and the driver’s seat was a revelation in terms of comfort. But despite having more torque than the new DBSS it isn’ t really a drivers car. You can waft around with ease and comfort but it just isn’t as planted on the road as the DB11 althoUgh possible handled better than my old pre-adaptive suspension DB9 on some roads. Anyway it goes back this morning and the DB11 will be back in service.

Returning from Como, we crossed the border and entered the swiss autoroute system via a back street and realised once we were on the autoroute that we had not purchased the vignette - crossed the country expecting to be chastised at the German border but again not stopped and no follow up (it was 12 months ago)...
