And no Paddy isnt joking - recently spent 10 mins scrubbing with some Gtechnic nanopolish for this very reason!!! Don't drive with it on as the bonnet shape is way too cool for that and ir rubs!!!

Got the best man to temporarily fixed the ribbons before we exited the registry office, and removed them before driving away. My good lady wife had no idea that we had the car for the day, only problem is now that I so desperately want one!



Thanks again for the help and advice guys.

If the bridegroom asks to drive the Aston Martin, look very worried, and give a politicians answer.

"That is a very important question, and it is one which all hard working people are entitled to have a reply. I look at it this way. We will do the right thing for all our young people, hard working people, and pensioners. That is what I really believe, so I have been completely honest with you. Milk and honey is just over the horizon. That gives you a proper answer."

How do we know the danger. It must remain a secret.
