that a good Brit like @SimonRL doesn't have one of these in his garage. Surely there's enough "Sofa-Change" in his furniture that would allow him to get this one.

He has 2 and a classic Bond Aston Martin

When Nick Mason of Pink Floyd offered me his 62 Ferrari GTO I really had to clean house to make that deal work, but it has appreciated so much that Aston practically begged me to take the two Valhallas. The DB5 was thrown in as a sweetener.

Of course, you got the one with the retractable guns in front, right ?

Tomorrow is the first, fellas, just sayin...

Cool car

Is there another kind?

I worked for an ad agency in London during the nineties who rewarded the Senior Creative Director with a DB5 and a reserved parking spot directly outside the main entrance to the Agency. The car was worth 1.2 million pounds at the time. I think the parking spot was worth twice that!

The chink in my cultural armor. I have never owned an Aston Martin. MG, Triumph, Austin Healey (big and little) Jaguar and Lotus have all leaked in my garage at one time or another but never an Aston Martin. I am afraid I would have to come out of retirement to afford one, so that is out of the question.

Thinking back, I only had one car in 50 years, the rest have been trucks!

So you've heard all the jokes about the Lucas electrics and the Prince of Darkness.

But does Lucas really make refrigerators ?
