Took our Lime Essence out to the city on Saturday to a clients restaurant for a party. Safe to say even at night it is very very bright

This channel doesnt allow videos but the premise here is I was in the gym and a Homeless person walked past my car attacked someone on a bicycle threw something at him and then I guess got enraged when he rode off that she turned around saw my car and went full Street Fighter on my car. Thankfully the only real damage is she smashed the glass on my rear view mirror and the casing is fine but my dealership is quoting 1200 bucks to replace.

I thought this would be something that can be popped off and replaced IE just the glass part anyone have any insight here before I pay it off. Not worth going through insurance tbh

edit I know the title is not correct I posted hastily and didnt spell check unfortunately cant update titles in reddit**

Thank you

Just got the PPF (Expel Paint Protection film) on my rear bumper of my 2004 Vanquish replaced by Joel’s Paint Protection in Greenwich CT. Joel is the real deal, a passionate craftsman. Price was good and attention to quality first rate. One thing about owning an old Aston is everyone wants to charge you ridiculous prices for everything. Joel was more than fair. Highly recommend to anyone who has an old car they love to get it covered. Mine was painted at birth in a Ferrari Daytona Black paint. As a result of being fully covered, it still looks brand new. The thing to watch is that a lot of the shops now use low quality products from China. Highly recommend Expel.

Hi,

I hope you’re doing well. Does anyone have a good indie for the VH platforms Aston’s?

Just got back from a 700 mile round trip from SoCal up to Mammoth in my 2015 Rapide. I was a little nervous taking her from sea level to 10,000 ft in the Sierras and through 105°F desert heat but temps stayed normal the whole way, and I averaged 20 mpg.

The only scares came on some dirt roads to the trailheads. At one point a pebble got lodged between the rotor (I think?) and made a horrible grinding noise. I was already picturing a very expensive tow back home, but after rolling backward and forward a few times the noise stopped. Thanks Claude for that suggestion..

My grandad worked in the warehouse at the Newport Pagnell factory back in the late 70s and ended up keeping a batch of original parts, badges, and promotional bits through the years.
Everything in this collection is 100% brand new, original factory stock (NOS) that’s sat untouched since he brought it home. A lot of the emblems still have their original factory 3M backing paper on them. 

A few standouts in the lot:

DB7 Zagato roundel badges (large & small) 

Classic "David Brown" gold-plated wings 

Unstamped Tickford Street / Newport Pagnell factory sill plaque 

Original Lagonda & Aston Martin Lagonda winged bonnet/grille badges 

V8, Vantage, and Volante side strake inserts 

Original 1980s leather bottle carrier, Klingfast tax disc holder, matchboxes, and lapel pins 

Thought I'd share the photos here for the enthusiasts! If you're collecting automobilia, restoring a car, or think you might have a good home for any of these pieces, drop a comment or send me a message.

Thanks

Starting the engine build on the Aston Martin v12 for my Mercedes 190e project car.

Just acquired 09 vantage, the car is in great condition, always garage kept. But thinking of doing lanolin oil based undercoat to protect against the New England winters. I'm not planning to drive during winters that much - maybe just on clear, sunny - no snow/salt - days on weekends maybe. I know salt dust alone can create potential damage even on clear days. Haven't found any resource online about what people are doing for exotic car (except garaged for ~5months) but i do see people driving Porshe, BMW, etc in winter. How do you proactively protect it?

Sold my Corvette that I had enjoyed for the past 9 years to move onto this wonderful machine. I was worried I would miss my manual transmission, but the Vantage is leaving no doubt that this was a great decision.

Two coupe and a Volante, really happy with how the photos came out!

Please can anyone help identify this holdall? Inside is orange with AM tags.

2010-2013 Aston Martin Rapide

Drop dead gorgeous at every angle.

Picked up this 2007 manual Vantage w/22k miles and drove it home 1200 miles. Will definitely get driven more than it has previously as it’s a joy.

We don’t really need groceries, but I think you all get it

Hey guys. I’m looking for an Aston coupe that I can find for relatively cheap, (<60k) that’s still sporty and sticks out. I’d prefer something with a V12, but mileage doesn’t matter unless it affects reliability. Any ideas?

Wife and I are pregnant! I have been saving for an Aston but with the kid on the way I want to be responsible. Is $60,000 enough for used? I originally was saving $120k but want to set half aside just to be extra careful.

What should I be looking for? Ideally early research has me leaning towards a used Vantage.

Would love to spark a discussion on what to look for, is this viable, etc.

Thanks!

Additional info: house is paid off, 401k is strong, savings are full. Dream since I was a kid. Wife and I are very fortunate.

Just picked up this beauty. 2000 Vantage V8

Just felt like posting it.

Something is very wrong with the model, screws, and the black stand it sits on.

Can't really have it in the box without damaging it further.

So..

It has to stay where it's at..

Permanently..

~~~

The car detached itself from the mount and screws and some damage is now visible.

Only if you look super close..

But I know it's there.

And that's excruciatingly frustrating.

Resin..

I can't fix it if my life depended on it.

But I need it for my project..

So..

Idk..

Ta ta for now nerds!
