I am of a smilar mind and totally happy with my 23 year old Plus 8 it can still get me in trouble if I don't look out so it offers me everything I need.

I lust after the Aston Green Aeromax as I happen to think it is possibly the finest looking car of my generation, I could raise the funds if I was being rash but I ask myself would I ever use such a car and the answer is a resounding no. at this value I would fear parking it anywhere in a way that people with shedloads of money wouldn't so not much point in owning it really for me.

I will drive and leave my Plus 8 anywhere as it is a car to be enjoyed and used to the full.


Richard your mention of a fear of parking "it" anywhere would seem to be the curse of owning something rather special that affects some owners more than others, especially those afflicted with OCD tendencies to some degree..?

As for what might be determined as special to it`s owner, I suspect that could be any machine, let alone an Aeromax or somesuch, though admittedly some machinery would seem to be instant targets for Neanderthals, and parking where the machine sticks out like a sore thumb can be less than smart too..? I do know of one chap who severely limits his enjoyment of his "special" cars, and as such forgoes opportunities to enjoy invitations to functions of all sorts, as he seems hyper relative to parking his cars anywhere HE thinks they might be at risk... even in a car park with numerous high end vehicles.. Yeah for sure there are bound to be places where such risks are deemed to be high..BUT..? Oh well, each to their own..
