    Default New Member and Aston owner Saying Hello

    I could not find info on where to introduce myself so I decided to post to each group for each of my cars. I have owned 2 Astons now and love the brand and have been fortunate enough to tour their factories at Newport Pagnell (old one) and Gaydon (new one) and taken their performance driving school at Millbrook proving ground in the UK.

    Welcome aboard, id love to see more pictures of your garage. You must have quite a lot of square footage as i see you have different flooring in your pics which i would assume to mean two garages. And jeez that die cast collection is ridiculous!! Could we get some pics of that too?

    Good to see you again OP, noted your presence on the R8 boards - L4P just happens to move a wee bit quicker when its encompassing more than just 1 specific car

    Such an amazing stable! I'm blown away by it honestly. Exquisite taste in car and color on each IMO. And as Pinin asked, it would be great to see more of the diecast as well. (I'm quite the diecast collector myself) Welcome to the 4, and enjoy your newest addiction!

    Thanks for the warm welcome. Always surprising to find other collectors of diecast. I have 300ish 1/18 and a handful of 1/8 and 1/12 models. Here are some pics of about 1/3 of the collection on the Ferrari side of one of my garages, which is of course, mostly Ferraris. I will post some more pics in the morning.
