I thought the very last scenes of the final James Bond movie to be apropos and a tribute to among other things, a timeless appreciation of Aston Martin automobiles.

Dad doesn't pick the colors, but I bet he would have told em to pump the brakes and let their wife choose the colors of this one!

Holy green machine!

The guy goes on to say "Green as it should be for an Aston Martin." Puke. I'm sure it's original though.

Absolutely beautiful work... I had the pleasure of visiting a shop where a guy was custom making new aluminum fenders for a Austin Healy... Wow that is a lot of work. Beautiful (concourse) level results..

I was 6'3.5" in high school and my favorite car was my 79 280 zx. I wish I still had that car.

my wife's boss bought a Continental GT. It was a turbo V12. Nothing but problems. The wipers would just stop working, fuel injectors would malfunction. He traded it in on an AMG Mercedes bi turbo V8 coupe. Zero issues.

Any Brit car is gonna be a pain in the ass.

The guys building AM's and running triple Webers pay people that know WTF they are doing to keep them in tune and obviously, Hotrod Lincoln doesn't know WTF he is doing.

Again.

What talent and beautiful work.

Love seeing these classic cars restored to often better than new condition.

I am in awe of the talent of tradesmen that are able to complete and maintain such a high level of craft.
