So what have you done with your Aston today?

Getting back to the timing chain cover leak....... I know this used to be a fairly common issue on the early 4.7's, but I've never heard of it happening on a V12.

Have I just missed something or is this now starting to become more wide spread ? I assume the leak would affect all V12's ?

I think it does happen to V12's too. The first recourse is to make sure all the cover bolts are tight, so dont panic just yet Matt. Hire a very small child with a mini torque wrench and set loose!

Took the V12 out on Sunday. Fabulous weather. Dry and clear roads. Wonderful car. I still love it. Lovingly washed and then re-covered. Great day.

Also took the opportunity to get the fleet out...

It's mid Essex. Tollesbury

I'd have guessed Blackwater or Crouch, but I couldn't have nailed it down to Tollesbury. Regardless, that's a fine pair of sleek beasts.

A few months ago I got a pet photographer to take some shots of my car and my dog. My favourite from the batch is below.

Wonderful. I love the collar coordination with the brake calipers. My greyhound wouldn't stand still long enough to be photographed like that.

[Shinjuku79]

Thanks guys. Yes I thought they would match each other well. Had to do a last minute run to the pet shop for a collar though as his usual one is a green tweed. Hoped to get the black and red theme going and I think it's turned out well. Looks really nice on a big canvass. The small screen is not this shot's best ally.

Drove over to Aston Martin Wilmslow and finally ogled the DBS... wow... stunning 😍

Popped over to there for the first time on Monday as we were literally passing on a family outing. Had a nice chat with Martin who has been there for some time who didn’t mind my young son and myself ogle the lovely machines including a stunning Vanquish Zagato Shooting brake being prepped for delivery.

Had a good look at the DBS and really appreciated it in a lighter overall colour. Wonderful design!

+1
I popped in yesterday and had a rather long ogle and stare at the DBS too. Skyfall silver if I recall - looked magnificent

Nik from Wilmslow gave me this mentalist for a couple of days.
What a thing!
Christ, it's quick.

Saw that too yesterday. Nice interior - is that the red oxide ?

I am getting sooo sorely tempted by the DBS. But will my son be able to hack the back seat for 1-2 hours? He's already the age of a 11 year-old boy (official measure of children, I believe .

I'll down at AM Bristol next week for a service. May have to take a closer look...

Bind his legs Japanese style. Or Orphanage. We are talking DBS.

I'll run that past the boss...

[anonymous-user]

Drove to work, which given that it is half term, was pretty nice. Even managed to get into 6 at one point. Positively blasting!

Nice day for a spin and photo opportunity
