Silver DB6, 555HOT also on Isle of Wight. Sure I've been in convoy with that one before.

[EVR]

Yesterday on the Como lake I crossed a DB9 Volante around 6 PM, UK plates I think. I was the one in the Vantage who waved back.

Very smart Orange AM knocking about Abzac 16500 France this last few weeks.
I should get a photo next time I see it.

White new vantage RJ68*** travelling on the A350, overtook a car out of Fontmell Magna, sounded nice, following in my daily Kia

Posted in the NE thread too, but a Silver Aston Martin DB6 MK 2 (snr710h ) in Tynemouth last Wednesday morning, looked fabulous in the morning sun!

Black Vanquish on A421 between Bicester and Milton Keynes this evening. Sounding great

Silver Virage (I think) leaving MacDonalds at Colton Mill retail park in Leeds around 6.30pm today. A ray of sunshine on a wet dreary day.

Not "leaving the Ritz" ?

Either way, top marks for your post as far as the timestamp is concerned !

P.S. I've changed 'today' to 'yesterday' now.

Around 2pm this afternoon a light green DB9 on Denby Dale Road in Wakefield. It looked to be in fantastic condition and was on trade plates as it came out of the industrial estate. It looked bloody luvly.

[N7GTX]

At the tearoom in Corgarff (the A939 - The Lecht) a selection of exotica including Ferraris, Lambos and a dark green AM Vantage. Bet that was a fun trip on that road.

Then in the car park at Fort George, Inverness a silver Vantage volante, reg. no. ending .... TOY

I pulled up behind an immaculate DB5 yesterday on the A12, whilst getting petrol (because I had no petrol!). Silver with red interior. The owner was a very nice chap. Obviously.

Going by your username I will stick my neck out here and suggest you are a big fan of 'The Professot'. Unlikely, but perhaps you were following the late, great NP's DB5 ?

Yes, a big Rush fan. REM are my initials, rather than a nod to Athens finest. Wouldn’t that have been great to be behind one of NPs cars, but sadly not!

The collection went for a total of $3.9 million dollars, with the Miura P400 S attracting the highest bid at $1.325 million. Everything was sold other than the DB5, as its reserve price wasn't met.

Peart named his car collection 'The Silver Surfers'; the DB5 being the first. He said that ...

"The title occurred to me while driving the DB5 up and down the Pacific Ocean, because it felt right to me, I guess – the idea that I was just one of the wave riders.

"I had moved from Toronto to Los Angeles in 2000 (cherchez la femme), and in search of natural peace I often drove out that way and up into the Santa Monica Mountains, Out past Malibu to Ventura County, I’d weave along barren ridges of rock and vegetation, the ocean always on one big side. Some days would be misted by the marine layer, while other days the sun blared through a clear sky. The waves were slow and gentle, or churned out a powerful, rolling rhythm ... . It was during one of these drives when out of nowhere, it just occurred to me that the color of the ocean had influenced the silver palette of the collection. What other color looks as good in a blue photo? Not black, not white – silver. And a fortunate risk for the framers’ art, too: silver frames.”

Spotted grey NEWish Vantage on the A12 near Gorleston JPH and we were traveling same direction for a couple of miles.
Had the opportunity to see it from multiple angles.
Looked really Aston Martin and very good from ALL angles.
Never hated the new style but now really like it.

J4KNN silver V8 Vantage of a 2005/2007 (due to roof aerial) age being driven round the Elvetham Heath/Fleet roundabout near North Hants Golf Club at 8:55 this morning. Looked nice as a Vantage does and sounded sweet as it accelerated away on Ancells Road.

Lovely vantage S at Tylney Hall this afternoon

[Buzz Killington]

Saw a lovely gen 2 vanquish with LOV being the last three letters of the plate one the north coast 500. Followed you for a bit in my v12 vantage and then turned round to go the direction I was supposed to be going. Sounded great.
