Something made Jabba happy today
4 Aston Martins were stolen today in London.
"A guy was driving into work today in London. On the approach to the Blackwall Tunnel he pulled up behind 4 brand new Aston Martins, one without a number plate.
He got suspicious thinking what the hell are 4 new astons doing at 6am in the morning?? Anyway saw the drivers were fairly young guys,put 2+2 together and figured they were probably stolen.
Anyway he called the police from his mobile to report the cars stolen. 1 minute later got a call back from the security in Blackwall Tunnel asking where the cars were. He replied just going into the tunnel. Within no time they closed the tunnel, claiming a truck was stuck. Few minutes later the police arrived, and sure enough they were stolen!
One car was damaged badly, but the other 3 were apparently fine."

oh thats good... you would be happy about that  one less Aston on the road can't be a bad thing. Lets hope it was one without damage 
Btw.. bad news travels fast! The fact they caught 3 made the news travel super fast.

Next time they could just as well be after cars from marques you do like. No matter what it is, people should keep their filthy paws off other people's belongings!!
Sorry if I'm taking this too seriously. This fucking deadline I have is making me cranky. :x

I like how aston martin's look, but the sound of their engines and performance (and interior) are really bad. Too heavy I dunno, wish they were faster and lighter... dont care bout the gadgets in a car. 4 stolen? If someone got away, I am sure the cops know a way to have the other 3 guys call out the name of the missing one.

Have you heard the Aston V12 that's in the DB7 GT and Vanquish?! If you haven't, get TT's video of the supercar rally 2003 or the JC/Damon Hill test of the Vanquish and 575M. It's one of the best sounding engines in the world!
