How about an Aston photo thread!

[GTRene]

just came across this 2012 AM V8 Vantage manual, I thought, hm, I like those 20 inch wheels, seem from a DBS? it also has the V12 bonnet and more, nu bucketseats though, but it looks cool me thinks.

Thank you, the yellow accent pack really adds something a little bit special to it.
However I get spotted everywhere by people because of it so literally no hiding places.
If I call in at Sainsbury, b&q or the likes I can guarantee within a week someone will say " oh I saw your car at .....the other day"
That said I love the colour combo so can live with everyone knowing where I've been in it
A couple more

My Vanquish didn't have an accent when I bought it. Some Ultimates went out without them (I heard a story that they ran out).

I thought I'd get it added later. Never got round to it.

I'm now so used to it without, that the accents look slightly odd to my eyes now.

We recently attended the Liquid Molly international 12 hr race at Bathurst. 6 of us in 5 cars traveled the 1100 kl there and 1100kl back in 3 astons a v8v my Vanquish a v12vs an audi r8 and an e63s merc.
It was quite a driving adventure as it rained just about non stop for the first leg of 12.5 hrs. what should have been about 10 hrs took a lot longer and I took 18 hrs as I had a Kangaroo bone that punctured my RH Rear tyre. That TPMS system was brilliant, i was overtaking a car in the rail, visibility was poor, hit threw up a small carcass which i ran over, the tyre warning light came on and i watched the pressure slowly drain for my tyre and was able to pull over with about 70 kpa left and no rim damage.
I was lucky I was 15 mins outside the town of Gunnedah in NSW and was jusy early enough to catch the tyre shop before it closed and they were super, came to my rescue and patched the hole with a patch and a plug, all was good after about a 2 hr wait.
here is a photo of the car park where we stayed

I splashed out and had mine detailed and paint corrected there were so many marks from washing when so filthy. It looks better except for the few extra stone chips from wide sticky merc ps cup 2 tyres in front of me. I have now touched most of them up and repaired some flaking paint on my rims. The colour match was perfect.

I still need to take all the wheels off, clean them and the arch liners, replace the two arch liner rubber trims which got ripped off in the water then It will be done

Here are a couple of pictures from our trip around France for the historic monaco gp.
I know most of them are Ferraris but they are still fairly nice pictures. My dad has asked me to cover up the plates on the car so I’ve done that for privacy sake hope you don’t mind

The Ferrari Dino always was and still is my favourite sports car. I have never even sat in one !

I was lucky enough to get to do one of the legs of trip in the passenger seat of the silver Dino and it was brilliant fun! Much more sporty feel than the Aston but that’s probably to be expected from a slightly newer Italian sports car.
