Know what you mean, for both comments!
A few of you know I put my car on SORN just for a month to force myself into driving the other cars... It's working of course but a 70s Alfa Spider and 80s Esprit are not suitable for this weather really and Mrs Yeti has bagsied the 911 But I have to walk past the DB9 several times a day as it slowly gathers dust and looks forlorn, but what a thing to look at just as a work of automotive art.
So far it's been a VERY long 22 days of SORN, roll on December 1st, a fresh MOT and some overpriced tax to go with it!

Why not SORN it during a summer month then? A few of you know I put my car on SORN just for a month to force myself into driving the other cars...

Because the tax ran out at the end of October. I want to drive the Esprit as it's a coupe... But the battery has gone dead Do you not still have the Defender too?
Defender went months ago, Discovery 2 on the way for winter... but not here yet!
Having sold my 9 back in July to ensure the right deal for my forthcoming V12VR it is one of the things that I have really missed - just being able to pop into the garage and have a look at the Aston. Sometimes just to wonder at the design, sometimes just to sit in it. That doesn't even cover having been without an Aston to drive!!!
Still, I am due to pick up the new one tomorrow with just one 'potential' problem stopping us from collecting her - the road from our house down to the main road currently looks more like a river with flooding at the end of the road (lovely red muddy water) - and more heavy rain in the SW forecast today. Not anywhere near good enough conditions to bring her home Still there is always next week

Yeti - I'll swap my Range Rover for your Esprit so you've got a reliable winter car. Its OK I'll even buy the replacement battery for the Esprit to save you the cost.
