Taking advantage of being able to photograph both cars together in the sunshine

Vantage Park by name... Vantage Park by nature! I thought that I would take advantage of an opportunity to photograph both of my cars together for the 1st time, in a very appropriate location

Astons being put in the shade! Well it was very hot and sunny at July's Cars & Coffee at Vantage Park after all

A smaller turnout than usual at June's Cars & Coffee at Haynes International Motor Museum, but even 2 Astons makes for a glorious sight, especially in the summer sunshine!

L-R: Andrew, Mark & John complete the 'Mendip Challenge' - 20 miles walk in aid of Weston Hospice Care (Sun 1/6/25). Mike Jones was unable to join us and so came along in spirit (phone pic).

Sat in splendid isolation, but no less spectacular, a V8 Vantage N430 at Haynes International Motor Museum for May's coffee morning

A beautiful and very rare, (even by Aston standards) Short Chassis Volante, (1 of only 37 ever produced), at Haynes International Motor Museum for May's Coffee morning

Petruth Paddocks, Sun 4/8/24 - We joined the regular Sunday car event after our breakfast at Hartley's. Our Astons more than doubled the number of cars on display on an unusually (for them) quiet day.

First drive out after lockdown on the deserted Northern Pennines

When your favourite Moto GP rider stops off to admire your car.

Back to my birthplace

Lockdown loneliness

Or, looking at it another way.

Old and new (VH) architecture

Astons as far as the eye can see
