I've been looking at a older low mileage DB-7 Conv. I think I would look very good in one. Would bright red work for me.

I like Aston Martins. Saw a few in England, back in the '70's. I like both the straight six and V8's.

I believe they can be very expensive to maintain and parts are pricey. Also, Mr. Goodwrench might have trouble, figuring out which wrench to spin on them.

I think you would suit an Aston Martin if you have a Sean Connery way about you.

Inasmuch as colors go, Red is for Ferrari's....an Aston Martin should be in one color only....British Racing Green.

Yes, bright red, or any color works in an Aston Martin convertible, Supercharged........

If you can find a nice one for under $100K buy it, esp. if low-mileage. A nice run across the country would then be in order!

Good luck!

I don't like the British Racing Green, they have a Aston Martin green which is liter, I do like the bluest green I saw once. Come on down, I'll let you drive it if I get it. The only thing I'm worry about is setting that low in the seat because of the screws and strips in my back. Maybe one of the children seat would work.

Colors. "Arrest me red" isn't bad.

If I ever get down there, I'll take you up on that nice offer. I find a lot of car seats, not that comfortable, mostly because of the bolsters, lack of length in the seat cushion or lack of leg room, even with the seat all the way back. My problem is that I'm tall, with long legs, so what I have found works is a really good quality, seat cushion. The ones I've used are made by an American company called Backsaver Acquisition Company in Holliston, Ma.

I got mine at a specialty store that sells chairs, cushions, etc., for people with back problems, etc. I don't know if it would work for you, but it might. It raises me up in the seat by about 1 1/2 inches or so and the cushioning is very comfortable, for me, also it gives me more leg room . It also is made of a cloth material that doesn't slip around, which would be good for spirited cornering in that Aston Martin.

Prince Charles runs his Aston Martin on wine!

The Prince of Wales has reduced his motoring emissions by running his 38-year-old Aston Martin, a 21st birthday present from the Queen, on fuel made entirely from wine.

Sir Michael Peat, the Prince's private secretary, said: "The bioethanol from our supplier happens to be made from wine.
