At the last 2 Vintage Festivals at Lime Rock, there has been a very nice
Aston Martin in BRG, that is set up for racing. It has the twin plug 6
and triple Webers. It is _not_ immaculate, and I mean that as a compliment,
because it is definitely driven and raced hard, not coddled as some others
are. It is a hoot to watch at the track! Noisy, big, and pretty fast. I
don't know much about these beasts, but I think I remember it as a DB5.
The same car was at the Brit car day at Larz Anderson Park in Boston this
past summer and I got a closer look and also spoke to owner/driver. A very
nice guy who told some great stories about the car.
