Running into other Astons lately

It seems more and more Astons are coming to Minnesota. A few weeks ago I saw a yellow Vantage, and then not too long after that a green one. Yesterday we saw a silver DB9, and today I was getting a clear bra and there was a V12 Vantage in the shop also. I told the guys to switch the hood and clear tail lights - the guy would never notice. Just before winter I ran into a guy who just bought a black Vantage and another who bought a new Virage. Hopefully, someday we can get a local dealer.

Here in my neck of the woods I only know of 5-6 people that have Astons.

I live by a dealer and hardly ever see them on the road. Bunch of hanger queens.

I'm in SoCal and for some reason the Aston is The most rare car I ever see. There are Ferraris, Lambos and even Lotus everywhere. I just don't seem to see many other Astons. I wish there was a SoCal Aston owners club.

6 months in Atlanta and I've only seen 3 others on the road. There was a 4th was on 85S with Florida plates -- just passing through I guess.

I stopped side-by-side with one of the drivers on a neighborhood road for a 5 minute discussion -- we were both surprised to see another AM !

At least one other and possibly two others in my town. One guy owns a window tinting shop. Going to stop by and chat one day.

Spent 5 days in LA, mostly around Beverly Hills area recently. Saw about 50, 911's. 1 gorgeous burnt orange vanquish, 1 ugly yellow Veyron. Was a bit surprised I didn't see more Astons

I live in LA. Went to Beverly hills the other day for dinner. In the parking garage there were 1 DB9, 1 Rapide, and 1 Vanquish.

I'm in Clear Lake and see only a few over the course of a year in my area. I see most Astons at Cars and Coffee in Tomball.

I was at Supercar Sunday the other day...100's of cars, not a one Aston.
We really need to represent

Finally getting warmer today in NY area. Took mine out for grocery shopping, saw two on the way including a beautiful DB7 volante. Personal record is three in one day. Never seen a lambo around here.
