No, Alan's been the only one driving the 500 recently cause the Barchetta is just too heavy on the fuel for all these trips to Dublin he's having to do for his work. It's about 250 miles round trip and he's amazed at how the little car copes so well with the distance. (and how comfortable it is esp with the Aircon. The only thing he misses compared to the 5 Series is cruise control.... )

Seen two 500 babies today one cha cha azure on the way to work and back in S.E. london and a nice red this evening in New Cross, shame I'm still waiting for my white baby to come and today I was riding my bike!!!!

*Wummin; noun; Scottish: female of the species

Driving in the old town today and saw a red 1.4 sport parked up, stopped to have a look and noticed that all his red-ringed hubcaps that came with his red calipers had been stolen! Felt like getting out and knocking on the house door to tell him....poor guy....makes me nervous to street park...one thing that I'm not doing now ( although was considering) is going to dealership and buying a set of red rings for the wheels

I was at the Mervyn Stewarts in Belfast last night and they'd 5 outside the dealership, all ready to be lifted so they must be getting more popular...

Very tasty black sport & chrome pack, with a all black and leather interior, Yum!

Should of taken a pic but Richard from the Afla sales team was following me round and I was a bit self conouius. Maybe he thought that I was going to nick the chrome mirrors off the sport!

From experiance, Aston owners are not too cool to wave........it's usually a raise of two, or three at most, fingers off the steering wheel.

RESPECT ... I experienced one of the 'two fingers off the steering wheel' waves today .... from a Testa Rossa!!!! (and not the French way)

Today I was totally ignored by a fellow 500 driver on the way back from work. I was behind her, then next to her on the dual carriageway and then in front of her. Not so much as glance or a wave. She must have been thinking about shoes or something!

Yesterday whilst waxing Bepe, a lady from down the lane walked past and told me she thought Bepe was "a beautiful little car, with such a lovely friendly face".

A few hours ago me and the other half went to Sainsburys. Whilst I went in to get some shopping, my other half stayed in the car. There's a pub opposite the carpark and this couple start pointing at Bepe and walk over to him and start taking photos of him, totally oblivious of my other half sat in the front passenger seat.
