Volvo XC90 is our other wheels. It might come in handy tomorrow given the snow we've had today up here in North Yorkshire !

Just replaced my X5 4.6is with a X5 M Aston has only done 2000 miles in last 8 months My old X5 I had for 5 years and was a great second car to the vantage. Probably a diesel would have been more sensible but could not resist

With my V8V, I run an M6 convertible as a daily, an Audi Q7 4.2 as workhorse, and a previous model 740i for when I don't want to drive wink

Edit to add: Previous posters are right, the X5 is better than the Q7, but the space in the Q7 is huge...

Stable mates for my AMV8(1977):

XJR (my daily driver)
MG ZS180 (for the OH)
Triumph Stag (dry days - doesn't get used much as that is also when the Aston comes out!)

Just wondering what other cars people run with their Astons?

I am thinking of updating my fleet but keeping my DB9 convertible manual and I am curious what other cars people drive ?

I'll kick off. I have a Lexus RX300 for when I am not in the mood for driving,need to shift stuff or people in comfort, a boxster for when I am really in the mood for back road driving ,and the wife has a clk convertible for when four people need to pose in the sun in comfort.

All these cars are getting a bit long in the tooth so ideas are welcome for replacements that do the same jobs.
I know of a cut and chop completed for a client , it mated the front of a Renault Clio to the rear Ford Tarous

the end result was a Clitorus
