I haven't driven mine for a long while - I am beginning to wonder if I should do something in advance of starting it up (whenever that might be).
I get no pleasure from driving a sports car in appalling weather or through rivers of mud (the lane to my house), so it stays in the garage for much of the winter. It was Mog weather on Christmas day here !

Got to drive both of mine today on the same roads in the snow! The GTN was in having a service so went to collect it in the S5 which is now in for a few extra tweaks of the suspension settings and a little fettling of glitches.
The S5 is quite happy to be a bit more sedate, the GTN wants to always push on. Perhaps I should get some winter tyres! :-)
Anyway, added 150 miles to both today.

Beautiful day here so had a great roof down run to the coast. Last time out was 6 weeks ago so great to be out again and let everything warm up and run

Yes, it was a great day yesterday, too good to leave mine indoors. I thought I could hear another V8 rumbling in the county.

Not sure that going to the supermarket can be considered "using" but, since it was the only occasion today...

Every little counts Ale (a UK supermarket joke!)

Wasn’t far from you Dave ... Crawfordsburn, craigantlet Hill’s etc ... if I had known you were out and about I would have made the two mile detour and called by! Too damp today!

Not sure that going to the supermarket can be considered "using" but, since it was the only occasion today... I took mine out on the 17th too. My wife and I drove over to Nottingham to look at the new Aston Martin garage there and to see if they had a new Vantage in. We pulled up and on walking into the dealership a woman came up to us and said "Oooohhh I do love your car.....so do you fancy something a little more ordinary then!!!!"  Clearly she has taste  On the way back we called at Tesco..."for a few bits" as my wife put it!!!! Suffice to say an S5 will stow a monthly shop for two if packed correctly!!! (I'm sure there's a thread on S5 luggage somewhere!!)

Down to Brighton for the weekend - the hard top makes the Aero very usable in this chilly weather. On the way back passed 5,500 miles in 10 1/2 months - not bad for a weekend warrior!
