"The list of reasons you can leave your home and local area include, but are not limited to:
shop for basic necessities, for you or a vulnerable person
go to work, or provide voluntary or charitable services, if you cannot reasonably do so from home
exercise, or for outdoor recreation in a public outdoor space - this can be on your own, with your household (or support bubble,) or with one other person (in which case you should stay 2m apart). You should minimise the amount of time spent outside your home, and you should not travel outside your local area
meet your support bubble or childcare bubble where necessary, but only if you are legally permitted to form one
seek medical assistance or avoid injury, illness or risk of harm (including domestic abuse)
attend education or school or further education
attend university or other higher education - for those eligible
attend, or take a child to, childcare - for those eligible"
Read it, Twitchie, instead of your stained copy of Daily Mail. " include, but are not limited to". that means there are even more reasons! MORE!
AND
"From 8 March, the Stay at Home restriction will continue but it will be amended so that people can leave home for recreation "

Maybe its time you simply apologize! for being such a tiny pervert neightbour-watching snitch. Think about it!

An hour in my DB9....i did not enjoy it....the car is fine...but a but pointless to drive around without a place to go.
You didn’t mention any of the things allowed in your drive for an hour with no place to go .
As you’ve decided to become insulting and shown your true colours , I’m out .

Recreation!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreation
How does driving around in a car NOT all under this?
and -
Why do you assume that I fall under the legislation of your funny little island state with Paddington Bear and gummy smiles? Oh because Pistonheads is a UK-only forum? what about a Pistexit then? Why dont you down a few pints with Farage in some smelly Leadenhall Market pub near the bloody oh so futuristic Lloyds building and plot it?

Ladies and Gentlemen, N,P&E is this way:

Plenty of Covid and Lockdown threads in there.
Can we please get this thread back to discussing what new ways you have found to spend even more time and money on your Aston

Wear sensors on order for the rears, discs and pads sitting in boot, will fit soon... interesting spat on Sunday, got ‘intimidated’ by C63 wagon, going round very tight corner my back lost traction and drifted out.. fronts new last year (conti’s) but rears are 7 years old.... drift was very slow no need for oppo just slight lift... thought TC might be there but no sign of it 
C63 driver very aggressive, shame I wasn’t in the beast

Chiltern Aston very kindly ordered a pair of new oil cooler pipes for the DB7. That will be a very reasonable £671.88 sir. They are the new 3 piece pipes which will not leak now they have been modified. Hopefully I can get the old ones off the oil cooler without the drama that Ed China had on Wheeler Dealers many moons ago.We shall see.
Just to break the tension
On Sunday last we went up the mountain again and were joined at the start by 2 newish m4 B em wubble ewes a V10 R8 rs special edition apparently 1 of 50 rhd my Vanquish and a Vantage v12 S which is pictured with the son of a friend of mine who loves cars. We then went down the other side of the Mountain (big Hill really) to a cars and coffee meet.
We are so lucky that we have the freedom to do this.
I think that your country is doing so well with is vaccinations as you now have approx 50% of your population vaccinated which you should all be proud of. You will be able to relax the rules soon and life will slowly go back to normality.
A few observations after our Covid lock downs.
Used Car prices have skyrocketed.
Hospitality staff are more friendly
Property prices have surged.
Country holiday spots are all booked up
The quarterly growth in industry is about 3%
Job opportunities have forged ahead.
retail electrical stores have shown great profits.

Meanwhile, here in Italy all is crap and everything has been turned into politics, in fact they managed to change the government during the ongoing crisis.
Oh right, I also picked up a relative from here, I was pretty much the star of the show.

Got notified that my car is fixed!
Symptom - misfire at idle up to 2000 rpm, irrespective of gear, then smoothing out. No EML lights or DTCs flagged on AMDS.
I guess most would stop driving their car if a misfire was felt/heard, but if no EML was lit, then maybe some would continue driving their car with some expensive consequences. Less of an issue for me, with BR manifolds:
“ Issue was defective coil cylinder number 2.
Both Sparkplug and coil were changed.
Normally, the real-time misfire monitor on AMDS would pinpoint the cylinder misfiring, but on your car, whilst the monitor was running and updating real-time values, therefore as far as anyone can tell the monitor is fully functioning, there were absolutely no misfire events reported on any cylinder.
For this reason / steer, rather than any one cylinder or combustion related misfire being the issue, the misfire was treated as more like an electrical reset or a problem external to the engine being root cause, which seemed highly likely because the stutter the engine had was very severe and actually felt like a reset issue rather than a partial misfire from poor combustion.
After diagnostics going down that path drew a blank, no module, sensor or actuator could be found in error, each module on the car was reset by reprogramming.
A new drive cycle to learn misfire corrections was then driven, and the misfire monitor run once again.
This time after that comprehensive reset, the misfire monitor reported a severe misfire, to the level I’ve not seen before, being reported from cylinder 2.
A spark plug and coil later, the problem is fixed.
So....
I’ve never seen before the misfire monitor appear fully functioning, update with live figures, but not actually record any level of misfire when in fact there is one, that’s a heck of a glitch in Aston’s diagnostic tool.
I’ve also never experienced such a severe stutter coming from only a singular coil.
And why did such a severe misfire not illuminate the check engine light and trigger a misfire code, specifically for cylinder 2
All very strange electronic behaviour.
Good news is that the fix hasn’t broken the bank. Parts @ £100+vat, labour £560+vat, grand total £792
Even better news is that if you had the primary cat present when the coil decided to malfunction. That severe level of misfire would have surely destroyed the primary cat, which in turn would have taken the motor out with it, meaning instead of a £700 repair bill, there’d have been little change from £20k”

Brisbane australia, Sorry times are tough there. Thats a problem when another country has a hold on development as in your towns where the chinese were flying in and out for work. That added a few thousand Covid cases to your numbers early in the piece.
