In LA

In LA for a few days, going to Galpin in Van Nuys to look at at a DBS and Peterson museum. Any other auto oriented fun? , particularly if Aston related would be super

Hey 007, try the Nethercutt museum, it's just up the 405 fwy past Galpin. They have an amazing car collection and restoration facility. Also after the Petersen you might want to stop by Ogara Aston Martin in Beverly Hills, you might see something there you like and maybe take on a test drive down sunset

Cheers!

If you're going to be in Orange County at all, The Marconi Automotive Museum is a mostly-supercar based collection in Tustin.

The Petersen is fantastic. A few years back I was with a group and we received a guided tour of the collection that is not on display ("The Vault"). I believe you can opt-in for that now without special arrangements. If so, highly recommended.

Ask for Stuart MacIntosh at Galpin and have him show you the Owners club with the Vault. Very cool. I bought my last four Astons's from him. Great guy. BTY tell him I'm still waiting for my V12V Roadster.
Have a great trip.

Good info, oo7. Getting tired of long plane rides and disappointing cars.
