How to avoid costly options on your new Aston

[ripley500]

For anyone considering a new Vantage, you probably didn’t realise that Aston have implemented a lane departure warning system into the car without the need for expensive electronics (indeed its actually a standard feature of the new car).

The deceptively simple mechanism is to not put any soundproofing into the wheel arches - this way when the car moves away from the main road track I.e. at the edges or centre of the road where small stones/debris are, these are kicked up by the wheels into the non-soundproofed wheel arches. The noise of all the small stone/debris hitting is like being in a Caterham and certainly alerts the driver that they are veering from the main path.

Any other owners noticing this ‘feature’?
