Well those of you who read the sun thursday will have seen a photo of an aston which looks suspiciously like this one. Either its an extreme coincidence, or someones been naughty and taken it from a site I posted on in the past.

Even the reflections across the 009 are the same... you've had a photo lifted Craig... Thing is, how do you feel? Proud or angry? I honestly don't know how I'd feel..

Hi mate, as myself and doug are discussing, it's just as likely it's not mine considering the volume of visitors to the show. And if it is, then it's going to be impossible to proove. Thanks for the scan, at least others can form their own opinion.

Even if it isn't yours, which is unlikely, at least you take pictures which are worthy of the national press... something to take comfort from.

Sorry to say it's not your photo Craig - look at the position of the sign on the wall relative to bottom of the windscreen on the black Aston:

Very close but they look slightly different to me. Look at the position of the car in the background where the white stripe or whatever it is meets the windscreen of the Aston.. There must have been thousands of photos taken at that show. Some are bound to look very similar.

Doug's right, it's also taken from a lower perspective aswell as an ever so slightly different angle - not much though, only a few inches out either way.

Given the state of some photos taken by supposed professionals, I'd say you were doing pretty badly if they weren't... Tongue

Sorry Craig, it's not even shot with the same focal length lens......the relative size of the door in the background compared to the headlight bezel gives away the "compression of distance" difference, in the two shots.........just my two cents worth....... Huh
