That's small,  I can hardly read it. I need to adjust my eyes, wait  :o
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Great news!! Although this has been mooted on and off for several years with a variety of backers, but this one sounds the best hope yet. Time to dust off those Union Flags (cue "Jack" argument/discussion again) and shorts again!!

I suppose as Bentley won't be back, the mysterious men at the top have decided that the Brits will need another team to cheer for and hence - Aston Martin.

I have a friend of a friend who works for AM. I'll see if he knows anything. He's a guy who's been asked.... "Can you get some guys together to drive 5 Vantages down to Italy for a photo shoot and then drive them back?" He was also involved in the arrangments for the recent Bond film. It's a tough job...etc.
