well if they have to meet emissions targets...go for it!

At the end of the day, you have to have it's big brother to get one which is a smart idea. Makes it easy to say 'I drive an AM' and I think the resale will actually be pretty good because everyone that can't afford a proper AM will look for these on the 2nd hand market.

Just please don't make it look ugly which it does so far. Turbo it.

I really don't think it looks that bad. You need to remember this is a car built for fuel economy, safety and being aimed at the low cost small car market. Compared to other cars in the market it will be competitive against such as the Echo, Getz, Fiesta etc i think it outclasses them in terms of looks.

Although I don't particularly agree with the fact that in order to buy one, you need to already own an aston martin. I think thats a bad move

i guess there's a market for it...like any business they are taking the opportunity to make a $$$$$.

Speaking of opportunities to make $$$$, have you guys started filming home videos yet? I'll be happy to direct...

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again.

      Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.

      Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!

      Could you put a real seat and harness in instead of what looks like leaving your passenger balancing on a milk crate
