Happy Birthday to you indeed!
But you know the English and Germans have a checkered past. I wouldn't park those 2 very close to each other

I have to ask the obvious question.
Are you 4' tall and 75 pounds? How can anybody get in either one of those? LOL
Just fair warning, when the garage battle wakes you up in the middle of the night, you were forewarned!

Looking at this picture made me think about how much more difficult it is to see out of the back of the Aston even compared to a convertible like the Boxster, I had an S for a few years. It's really hard to gauge how to place the Aston through the rear windows. Ah the price for perfection...

OK, they still had a 1/2mm of tread left to roast off, I like to use all the rubber they give me before replacing, I just wasn't planning on having to drive it in the snow!
Actually I have lots of tread they're just not on the car LOL
Grabbed these on a buy it now, just sent boxes down so I can have them picked up, they wouldn't ship, but I love the look of the V12 wheels on the V8.

And the next day I chewed up a good foot of my front right wheel so I jumped on ebay again and bought this beautiful set of 5 spokes, the tread just an extra bonus. And my first question was the date code on the tires showed they were 07's so I specifically asked how much dry rot there was, the answer was absolutely none. Well, of course there was a little, so they rebated $300 back, well worth just for the rims.

Those are here but I wanted to put the V12 set on. But only after I changed the pads so just pressed the order button for the Porterfields from Rich. As soon as the dust is gone the rims go on.

I'm jealous of the V12 wheel deal you got.
I was looking for wheels pictures to make a decision for my Birthday gift for me when I ended up looking at 997 Porsche's.
It is new shoes but a bit different. That's how I sold it to my wife.
they have to get along! The Aston shared the garage with the M3 before.
The Aston is more the outsider in my house hold.
I'm probably the most German guy you can find. Born in Munich, grew up in the alps and spend most of my life in Munich till I moved to the US.
My first words were probably BMW.
My buddies couldn't believe I got a non German car when I bought my Aston. Now it happened and my M3 had to move out of the garage to provide space for the Porsche. No one would have believed that but I guess my excuse is I turned 40.
And yes I own Lederhosen.
Thank you!
Park the Boxster in backwards

Wow H-O you did get a deal!!!! I am thinking of trying the Brembo brake pads as my brakes are gone. I need front rotors too, strange as back rotors are ok. I guess I drive too spirited I believe.
When I traveled to Florida I had problems staying the limit a bit!!! LOl My wife needed aspirin many times when I dropped into 4th and floored when playing....her head snapped back and I got the stare..hahaha
Z---nice cars!!! As for wives...I keep my imagination and remarks clean! I am sure both cars and wife are wonderful--lucky man!!!
Family vacation to Florida this week so Flying this time...hate it!!!
Safe driving!!!!
