Aston will spend more time being fixed and cost a lot more to maintain IMO.
why should it though I thought the newer Astons like newer Fezzas were quite reliable

If I buy an Aston, do I get dealer service by helicopter just like VBH in 5th-Gear's test? No, didn't think I would.

But did you have the same reaction as me? someone's doing well out of people buying Astons.... Reminds me of the number of partners at my place with 911s who often go to client meetings in the wife's car just so as not to give the impression that they are getting fat off their legal fees

Just going through some company negotiations with my boss. Do you think I ought to say "You are talking retention - get me this and I'll stay forever!" ?

harsh words craig. so you're saying i'm fat - well i'm only 11stone 9 at the moment and i go to meetings in the firm's pool car cos it looks a bit much to turn up to meet the directors of a company in receivership in any sort of sports car (even a very old 911!)

and i love that aston - esp the c pillar - so reminiscent of that gorgeous toyota corolla t sport don't you think.......
