There are worst places where to be in lockdown!

Downtown Milan, but there is hardly anyone around, thankfully. Even if those even street are begging to be driven... Had an Urus passing down my place this morning, he was having fun, I can tell you!

Polished and waxed. Odd times we live in, however the old girl is being called into duty next Friday in lieu of government restrictions on limousine services at funerals.

A sombre drive no doubt but since 4/6 of those allowed are able to fit in it, and my Father In Law was a huge fan, I thought it would be remiss not to chauffeur us. Stay safe people!

Gave Lady S's car a quick clean and then fired the Aston up and left running up to working temperature.
Took the opportunity to give every electrical system a "run through" and raised and lowered the hood a couple of times just to keep everything moving.
......... and yes, we do like red cars smile

Admire your dedication! Only just noticed at the weekend while cleaning mine the ones on the Rapide are carpet. Presumably for sound deadening, which is a good thing, but they don’t look nearly as nice as shiny plastic!

That looks great!

I must be honest I really don’t like any of the new stuff coming out of AM at the mo, they just look so OTT and plasticky - certainly look like they’re aimed at the Middle East and Far Eastern markets. To my eyes they’ve lost their class entirely.

Definitely liking this, and tbh I really fancy a Rapide too!

Fortunately I have a ramp so very easy, it would be a very fiddly job with a jack and stands

I used a trim/tyre dressing that seemed to work well

Shopping made enjoyable, especially as there was only 2 other people in the M&S food hall.

Washed it, took it out to dry the brakes (which felt completely socially unacceptable), and put it in the garage, battery conditioner attached and cover on. Sad times.
