:shock: This board needs two extra emoticons please. Drooling and thumbs up. Both of which fit the Aston Martin nicely. What a lovely thing.

Did you find something to clean your keyboard John? If so, could you send me some please!

I've always loved these cars, though there were some terrible colours in the 70's (one I remember as a sort of Harvest Gold!).

We currently have three of these AMV8's and I'm glad to say none of them are sickly colours, one is white with dark blue leather, this one and a silver one with blue leather (the 1973 Earls Court motorshow car)

:shock: Passers by? I couldn't! As it is, it'll likely take me about an hour to finish this page. 8-)

Please Terry, for those of me who find emoticons more effective than mere words. US, I mean those of us, may we have that emoticon for use here?

Code for it could be :micra: or :CA van: so that Rich & I can remember how to post it. :oops: ;)
