Looks a bit like a Strongman Tools 3 tonne scissor lift.

It's a CF slam panel to tart the engine bay up. The olde one was looking tired and a bit crap.

Spent an hour this afternoon being totally absorbed by the style, luxury and other-worldly power of this AM Cambridge DBS Superleggera. bow

Dead right ! It is now recessed into the garage floor and you can see the steel plates that cover the hole when it's not in use, and make a nice flat surface when it is in use.

Congratulations she’s a stunner, I had the exact same model and colour but took the liberty of having the wheels painted matt grey - looked a bit meaner and less refined with added bonus wheels needed cleaning less often! Enjoy smile

Thought you had a ringer there, nearly the same as my original plate before I changed it!
Must have been registered at the same dealer a year apart? And yes, the dealer put some cr*p number plates on that were the wrong size. Don't worry, got a nice 5 digit one now the correct size on the back. Hope you enjoy the car as much as I have, she looks a beauty

Had my front grille slats polished and anodised. Doesn't show up well in the pic but they are now like new. Thanks to Pete from Badger Anodising!

She is looking less than immaculate after a run to Bristol and back on Friday. My wife wants a new desk so we went to Steel Vintage to see some fantastic industrial style desks. She sold the trip to me on the basis we could take the Aston out for the day - 230 miles at 49mph average and over 29mpg was a change from city driving. I am not sure nearly 5 hours on the M4 is really a day out but at least I got to listen to the B&O for a day ! I guess I will have to wash her and see if the Autoglym protection I put on last time actually makes a difference.

I’ve SORN’d it. I doubt I’ll drive the V12 Vantage S again before June.

The commute to the station this morning was interesting. Unsurprisingly, my DB7 Vantage really isn't very good on ice. The traction control light spent a lot of time flickering.
