The Aston community is clearly the best around. There’s so much love for the @astonmartin Brand, from a great bunch of enthusiasts. Here’s my #Astunday contribution, in my opinion the best angle for the Vantage. I just can’t stop looking at my car.

After a blast through the Highlands in the Vantage, it’s great when your daughter wants to help clean it. The more I drive it, the more I appreciate just how special this Aston is. #aston #astonmartin #vantage #newvantage #astonmartinvantage

My new ID Buzz arrived today. I’m delighted with the colour choice. Massive disparity in the insurance quotes. Over £900 from the folk who insure my 600LT and 718 Spyder but @DirectLine quoted £352 and secured my business. Xmas Eve handover planned.

My #astunday contribution. I switched from the McLaren to the 911 Turbo due to corrosion problems. It was a mistake, the Porsche was fast but bland. It wasn’t a super car. I spent months looking for a special car I would lust after, sound great, make every mile special. #vantage

I don’t need another car but a friend who runs a BMW dealership offered me a cancelled order June build slot for the new M2, which I’ve taken. Specced it in Brooklyn grey with the black wheels and some nice extras. It’s not pretty but it’ll be fun.

I’ve spent months deliberating on which colour my new Spyder should be. Porsche have added Shark Blue to the Configurator. Job done. No carbon buckets this time as they are too upright. I prefer the 600LT Senna seats for comfort over them. Looks like 2022 before I’ll see it.
