Probably own it and some sort of money laundering / tax avoidance scheme going on. I was down in London a few years ago and saw a stunning 458 (iirc) parked up inside a unit owned by a taxi firm and a lot of "ethnic minorities" inside.

With good prep, decent rattle can paint, 2k lacquer and a wet sand, you can get a pretty damn good finish from a rattle can. But the 2K lacquer is absolutely key.

Yep I remember, small world right! Seems forever ago now actually.

I may be interested if the tyres are (basically) new? As in, definitely no track time. Not looking for part-worns, want to do it properly this time!

Heading back to the Nurburgring next month, so time to get this thing out of hibernation. Hasn't moved from my parent's garage since January 2024. Looking a little sorry for itself at my mate's work, before it goes off for some servicing and track prep. I'm on the lookout for some track...

Tidy! Those Ultraleggeras are epic.

That GTR convoy is so f**king cool. Living the dream there.

Yeah i've seen a purple one in Calgary, probably the same. I'm gonna stick my neck out and say the one I saw out skiing didn't look so bad with the offroad tyres & spacers. Definitely more purposeful rather than a stupid gimmick.

Few of these knocking around alberta now.

Crazy how Aston's have just got worse and worse looking over the years. Guess they were just ahead of the time with the V12 Vantage and DB9/DBS.

Nice write up and lovely car mate. The 8.5 looks awesome from the front, super aggressive. Also that interior looks like such a nice place to be. The lit up GTI logo from the door handles is a little Ali Express though!

That colour is unreal, epic choice sir.
