Don't think I have posted these before. My car being cleaned and going away in storage until I am back in the UK...............love the way the light reflects in the paintwork.

Best to all.

We had a great evening with the Queensland Club attending a private viewing of No Time To Die.
we had 65 attend and we had 6 cars arranged, a DB5, DBSS, Vanquish, Vantage V12S Vantage V8, a new model Vantage however one broke and one couldnt get there so we had the first 4 on display at the theatre.
Here is a pic of my wife and I in front of an aptly numbered DB5.
The movie was great and we had a raffle prize of a weekend in a new Aston for some lucky bugger, this helped raise $1000 for the club.

Foggy, wet. Better to keep the car in the garage. Ok, next time.

Upgrading from my much loved V12VS to this beauty. Can’t wait!

Here my 1988 V8 Vantage Volante, with me since 2003. I had the pleasure to get Clarkson driving her in his DVD "Hot Metal" and a review with Classic Cars in 2004 ish... cannot remember exactly. I have a new plate now.

As my first Aston, I REALLY want to keep it clean and shiny, but I just can't resist going out for a drive, even in this damp, grey weather.

Still - gives an opportunity for a moody photo....

Superbly inappropriate! How did it perform? Presuming you didn't purchase it as a track car I am curious as to why you ended up on Oulton in it? Back up car? Just to see what it can do?

I saw a grey one the other day and must say for an SUV I rather like them. People are speaking highly of them too.

This is genuinely very cool.

It wa great on track! Video here. I had only had it 2 weeks at this point so I kept it is "indiviual mode" (everything set to sport) rather than "track mode" as that disabled the traction control and I didn't want to have a mishap so soon into ownership. It was wet & greast too (mid Nov).

I normally take my 2016 NSX on track but it was in for a service & bodywork which ran over, so rather than cancel the day, I took the DBX. Glad I did!

Thanks! I like to use my cars properly, especially when cars like the DBX are much maligned as being a "posers car" etc.

I saw my first one "in the wild" (i.e. outside of a dealer event) this week. It was (perhaps unsurprisingly) in Mayfair, A good-looking (and nice sounding) beast.

That said, I was on my way to look at the new Range Rover - which I think better suits my needs (boot space for the dogs).

Great vid of the DBX on track. Impetus to bring my Vantage on track in Feb once I get brake pads sorted. What are the two dials in the centre console reading?

Big respect for that - looks like good fun on track!

I must admit, although I do a lot of track days I haven't dared take the Vantage on yet. The consumables cost is massive (I'm getting through rear tyres in ~4k road miles as it is) and I don't fancy the risk of losing the factory warranty or binning it!
