Following some long flights and rail journeys, I've managed to
start to give this site with a
whole new look. The graphics and layout have been done by Johnnie Walker of
http://www.randomsequence.com and I think it's a big improvement in both the
way it looks and the way it works. It will certainly be easier to add new
pictures which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. The first section is
Gaydon VH - I expect the rest will take many
months to update, but I hope you get the idea. If any bits don't work properly,
please let me know. |

If the site looks a little different, it's
because I'm experimenting with new graphics and layout. Give me a bit of time to
get it right! |

Two weeks to go before Le Mans, so I've had a
refresh of the AMR pages in readiness.
Le Mans 2008 preview,
DBR9 Phoenix Racing,
DBR9 Jet Alliance, DBR9
Gigawave, DBR9 Modena. For those of you that are members of the AMOC,
you will be aware that I have taken on the role of AstonMartin Heritage
Trust Registrar of Cars. This is an enormous responsibility and it may be
that I won't have so much time to put into this website - we'll see. Slight revision to
007 DB5

Since we appear to be having something of an '80s
revival now is obviously the time to revise the page covering that essential
'80s AM, the V8 Vantage Volante |

AstonMartins.com 10th Birthday
It's hard to believe but this website has been in
existence for
10 years. So to celebrate the 10th birthday, I've got plenty of revised pages
and new pictures to
delight you with. Can I take this opportunity to thank every visitor for your
support, without you, it wouldn't be so much fun.
DBAR 1,
2 litre Monoposto,
DB4GT Special,
Headlam Coupe,
V550 Supercharged Vantage,
V600 Supercharged Vantage,
V8 Vantage Roadster,
DB9 Volante,
Gaydon V8 Vantage,
Vanquish S,
DB2/4 Mark II Fixed Head Coupe
So much has changed in 10 years, digital SLR's
have replaced the film cameras, high-speed broadband has replaced the old dial
up (I was stuck with that for 7 years) and little by little my knowledge has
increased along with my photographic skills. BUT throughout the last 10 years, I've stuck to one very basic principle - that is wherever possible, to only use pictures I have taken myself.
I've been very fortunate to have seen almost all of the key cars that AM have
made, seen a new factory open and two others close, witnessed AM competing and winning again at Le Mans and travelled widely
too. And for
all those key cars I'm yet see photograph, I'll no doubt spend the rest of my life
catching up with them one by one. It's a hell of a challenge, but someone's got
to do it |

Happy New Year A real treat for 2008 - pictures of
prototypes of the original Vanquish.
I have sat on these pictures for a few years now but I'm sure that with the
passing of the Newport Pagnell and Vanquish production, it's acceptable to now
share these with you. |
