From the Daily Mail AM Dealer Vandalized in Mayfair

 

That’s pretty much what jealousy looks like…can’t afford one..so trash the place…sad that society has slipped so low..personal property has no meaning to these people..it has nothing to do with the eco debate..always makes me smile how the electric car is held up as the bastion of green..they don’t care for the truth…just follow the line..

 

They'll get a slap on the wrist at best. Doesn't matter if they destroy the building, art, or trounce on others. If it's woke ideology, it gets a pass.

 

That driver in red Porsche at the junction probably hoping "Not today and please make me invisible".

You know this could turn into an art show if AM Mayfair just called it the Pollock splash.

Now if this happens to anyone of us, what would you do?

1) Let it be.
2) James Bond up with the machine guns/smoke screen/ejector seat.
3) The AM umbrella in the trunk.

 

I retired two years ago from a career as a professional wildlife conservationist. I've worked in more than a dozen countries and seen a lot of humankind at both our best and our worst. Our natural world is in extreme peril, with significant erosion of sustainable wildlife population levels and record extinction levels across all taxa. It is likely that 50% of all mammal species will not survive this century. Yes, mammals...
Anthropogenic climate change is, in reality, indisputable, and physics models cannot reasonably explain why warming would not occur under present circumstances.
That said, I drive a 2006 V12 Aston Martin for about 3,000 miles a year.
However, I also purchase carbon offsets, reuse and recycle, and restrict unsustainable purchases. It's a bit like me spending an hour on my rowing machine and rewarding myself with a donut. Would it be better if I had something else? Certainly, in some ways, but the joys in my life help power me through the responsibilities, especially those that aren't as comfortable as I'd prefer.
We don't need whack jobs on either extreme end of the spectrum. The natural world that provides the ecosystem services that sustain our lives thrives on balance.
Ecoterrorism is offensive, divisive, unproductive, and disrespectful of the diversity that provides the strength inherent in the tapestry of life on Earth. But thoughtless in-your-face consumerism is also not doing our children and grandchildren any favors. The greatest gift we can give them is a future they'd choose to inherit, rather than one they're forced to endure.

 

I suspect these comments are going to get more political rather than substantive and should be moved to the "All Things Political..."

That’s the old Aston Martin logo. Can’t blame people for being upset that the dealer isn’t staying up to date with the latest Aston changes. Well, at least now the dealer can collect on the insurance and update as appropriate.

 

They couldn't spray up Maserati or Alfa Romero?

 

Ferrarri... why couldn't it have been Ferrarri...

 

How can AML turn this awful act into a positive for publicity?

 

I don’t think this is political. Not everything is.

 

This act of vandalizing the dealership or the justice (or lack of)?

 

LOL!

 

Perfect timing to introduce the Lagonda range of EV's
