I thought the only thing C26 bought was Farleys Rusks and wet wipes?

Do tell

Price is edging upwards, looks like I missed my chance of loading up below 100p.

Maybe I should take the advice of C26 and wait until they are over £19 then bet my house 🤣

Watched a review of the Ferrari Purosangue last night. £500k as tested. You think Astons are expensive?

Aston will take a big bite of the apple I have no doubt.

Still waiting to hear why C26 thought it was a better buy at over £19 ?

Come on c2645sg, explain why you bought at over 1900p when the product wasn't this good but now think 106p is way too high.

We really want to know?

At least I don't make up imaginary friends like you. The only ones who think you talk sense.

So you don't think Aston is worth 106p with a whole new line up of class winning cars,

However you thought it was worth 20 x that not long ago.

Really? Oh dear.

All these ads jumping around on the screen make typing a pain 🤣

Except for the Ferrari none of my cars cost a fortune, the Ferrari I sold after 4 years for a small profit with it being a rare spec.

I usually sell most cars for a profit after running them for a while.

My hobby costs me little, less than C26 spends on wetwipes.

C2645sg is indeed not the sharpest knife in the draw when it comes to money.

Those that know will see each of my cars cost less than a typical n

Trust me, I have been car obsessed since a child, owned over 200.

Aston is top of tree right now.

Well, the price has held up better than even I as a supporter expected.

I was going to give it a day and a half to gauge reaction then try and buy more below 100p

No sign yet its going that way.

There must be more faith than this forum indicates.

Its like this C26,

We all hope to buy when the price is good, sell near the peak. Nobody gets it right every time, far from it.

You move on though, you learn and you do not cry over not owning a crystal ball.

You though clearly did not spread your risk, you lost, gave up and dedicated your years of effort to bitterness instead.

Where has that got you?

Which is why you should never have invested in a car company. You have no understanding

C26, before you spout more bitterness,

My lad gets up early, goes to work and invests his money. He bought his cars himself, like I have over many years.

@Jon39

To annoy C26 further,

How has your Vantage been running cost wise?

My lad keeps looking at them.

He currently has a 944 which we did a lot of work on together. It is low mileage but had been unused for some years. It is a simple car to maintain hence not a burden for him to run.

When do we expect Creo to have the funds for the sale in the bank?

C26, such a bitter loser.

As a family we enjoy our cars, so many trips, adventures and memories.

You stick to your bedsit and box of tissues.

In terms of Aston revenue I see it like this.

The product I really like. They are now no longer inferior to a Ferrari yet more desirable.

I am not the only one to feel cold about the newer Ferrari models. Too in your face techy.

Lamborghinis have become a bit wrong image for many.

The new Astons are just nice, there is more to enjoying a car than lap times. I see a big slice of the pie for them.

However, timing does give me reservations right now.

Starmer and Rachel from accounts have me worried.

Trump says some things that make sense, yet is still a crazy man.

Putin is like chewing gum in wool jumper.

I need to see stability, hard to know what to buy right now.

@jon39

Sorry, I meant chairman not CEO as in Stroll.

Re. these cars capabilities now. Yes, I hear you. I enjoyed the Ferrari I had, it was a real experience to drive and people enjoyed seeing / hearing it. Practically though it wasn't really suited to UK roads. I did more miles in others cars, a Caterham as great driving dynamics at lower speeds on back roads.

An older 911 as narrower, good to drive and attracts no attention.

An XJS as it is just a lovely car to be in even in the usual traffic.

My question was always though, which would I take on a euro road trip.

The Caterham - no good on a motorway or in the rain but almost worth the pain once in the mountains.

The XJS not perfect for the best roads but sooo nice to travel in.

Driving the Ferrari on a motorway, which is unavoidable just seemed wrong. A waste.

The new Aston though, I'd take that with no doubts.

For fun, I challenged myself to make enough on their shares to buy a free one. Still some way to go yet.

I am fortunate I only bought/sold/bought/sold this year, so I am up overall. Now though I am not holding enough and those are @ 105

I wait to see which way the wind blows, they still have the potential to double but I'd need to buy more again. The product I believe in, the politics are more my concern right now.

Unfortunately service and costs on just about everything is not what it was, pre covid especially.

Ferrari let us down badly in the past.

A gather Mclaren are not the best by reports you hear.

Can only hope Aston improve the level of care to match the product.

Tough in a world where few care about doing the right thing.

The Aston turn out at Salon Prive this year was huge, cars from all eras and clearly a very loyal following.

Be proud of our heritage and support the UK.

Even if the CEO is not local, the jobs and skills are.
