.... and it feels good. A lifelong ambition in many instances.

For many if not most, it won't be their only car though. Who has the most eclectic other vehicles ? I think I might be in with a shout, I'm not talking other Astons, I'm talking your other vehicles. For sure many have a 4x4, many a workhorse daily....

Who has an old Rolls, or a Fiat 126 or interesting bikes or something really left field like a steam engine?

Pics of your wacky garage contents pls, if happy to upload, in or out of the garage...

And of course, this is the Aston corner, your AM should be sitting loud and proud centre stage, and the more pics of Astons old and new the better.... smile

I have a Ford Focus ST

The orange one! But 5 door blue, bought it in 2006 brand new, it’s now over 19 years old and still going strong

A fantastic engine, 5 cylinder, turbo and it drives superbly

Still not one spot of rust in the paint work, a true workhorse of a car. Can see it going for another 20 years

Here is my 2014 Mercedes SLK. I have owned it for nine years and it has only done 10,000 miles. Never gets used in the winter and is absolutely immaculate. Lovely car to drive. To be honest, when I bought the Vantage I planned to selll the SLK, but couldn't bring myself to do it.

Only pic I have in the garage. As you might guess I come from a TVR background and still race the Vixen that's on the ramp.
Daily is a Touareg need for towing the racecar trailer

Besides the two Astons, there is Boris the Bullet Dodger. My trusty MY00 WRX. I bought it 25 years and 1 month ago. The very last of the good ones. Somehow it has become a rare and appreciating asset. It’s a fun car. Then there is Frank the Swift Sport. Bought 2024 and the “extra car” that gets used by all family members. We didn’t have to suffer the hybrid model like the UK. It’s a very fun quick little car and weighs less than 1000kg. (Wife has an SUV same as most wives I guess - but she much prefers the Swift).

I have a Morgan Super 3 paired with my DB12.

The Aston is amazing of course, but there's something about the open-top, manual-gearbox, no-infotainment, no-power-steering, no-assistance-whatsoever raw simplicity of the Super 3 that makes me very fond of it.
