The loss of loved one
Discussion
Yesterday I had to say goodbye.
We’d been together for 15 wonderful months. Although I’d known and loved her older sister for 18 months before so the relationship with the family goes back 3 years.
We had thrills and excitement, sometimes just the two of us, sometimes with like-minded people we’d met on an internet site.
I’d spend hours admiring her beautiful body, those sensuous curves, that perfect form…countered against knowing that if I mistreated or abused her she would bite my head off.
The feeling of anticipation as I slipped inside, feeling her come alive and growl as I pressed the right buttons…
Anyway, she’s gone now, to be loved and cherished by another man. My DB9 has been sold.
Molly, Rob I feel the pain you must be feeling. Hopefully though Purdey will mend and come back to you, mine will not.
It is for positive reasons I sold her, I had the opportunity to buy out an investor and own 100% of my business. I searched in old jacket pockets and down the back of the sofa and still came up a little short. I learnt many years ago you don’t borrow personally for business so I decided to trade down and free up some of the cash I have tied up in the car so she had to go.
Since I dropped it off at McGurks yesterday (excellent as always) I’ve had a feeling of loss, like a loved one has left you. I can’t explain it. There is a hole somewhere in my chest which feels weird…it’s only a car for god’s sake!
I’ve swapped for a cracking car too (3yr old C63 AMG) which is faster, better handling, etc, etc,… but it’s not an Aston, it feels like a machine to do a job. The Aston always felt like a driving partner somehow, on the journey together. I can’t explain it and feel a bit of a loser, never had this sort of attachment to an object before but somehow the DB9 got into my soul.
I hope to be back in the fold soon and will buy another one as soon as I’ve saved enough money (or rob a bank/win the lottery - Cockers/Tony
)
As much as I will miss the car I will miss the meets and runs out even more, I’ve had some great times with some wonderful people, thank you.
I will still hang around the forum though and keep up with what’s happening and join the banter, if you'll have me.
I’m off to the pub now to drown my sorrows and bore people with stories of how “I used to own an Aston Martin you know”
Au revoir, not goodbye... xxx

Pull yourself together and MTFU 
....I'm sure you will soon be back in the fold. The meets just won't be the same without you and Louisa 
I don't see any reason why you two still cannot 'hang wid the crew'
In fact I assume you are still coming Sunday? Looks like some of the empty passenger seats will be filled for a while on the runs now there are four of you temporarily minus an Aston. I dont have a spare seat this sunday as it happens but would still be happy to meet you two for a 'Derbyshire Run part deux' 
AMG you say....dont forget we had a Ferrari last time you put something together...I think your credentials get you a pass ticket...

Yep still coming Sunday if that's ok with everyone, like I said - don't mind hanging at the back or hiding in the corner hanging my head in shame until I get another one.....I'm sure you will soon be back in the fold.

I could do with some more on the crew ) either that or you can take over my chimney round As far as I am concerned the Aston is a way of meeting like minded people, the fact that you have sold up(traitor) does not mean we don't want to spend time with....... the new owner of your car
I hope you continue to come to the meets as I will have no-one to constantly kick with my camera joke
Ok, sorry to hear you 2 are out of AM ownership for a bit but I hope you don't think that will give you an excuse for not coming to Wales in July?!
TBH - on this occasion you wont be the only non-Aston owners present (& I'm not even referring to Rob & I, although God only knows what our car status will be then
)
So - look forward to seeing you & my drinking buddy(ess) in July and to seeing you back in an Aston for more AM PH adventures ASAP

Steve, started reading your post and thought you had had her longer than that, you seemed to get on so well, the way she responded to you, you just seemed so well suited, I really thought you would stick together through thick and thin, but then I though oh well these things happen, then I realised you mean't the Aston - noooooo 
. That really is serious. Hope you get to Wales and get back to an Aston asap. Having said that C63 is hardly a hardship! All the best Andrew. Ps Mhairi is gutted, the coven won't be the same............

We will love being there for the Wales meet, wasn't sure whether would be appropriate or not to come. Molly, without Louisa there who would you compare boots with at 1.30am?
...and Andrew, doesn't a coven need at least 3 witches?
Hopefully won't be too long before I am back as a fully fledged member of the club.
