Sorry mate I should have explained. It made me laugh because I had a friend (I say had because the silly bastard killed himself with drugs

) from Turkey that was the spitting image of Sylvester Stalone, and I mean spitting image, that used to call them "Austin Martins'". The real name is an "Aston Martin" The Austin was a crappy car from the late 60s to 70s, if I remember the years right. This was an ongoing joke with the large number of friends that we had.

My favorite car of all time by the way, the Aston Martin. I have promised my self that the first place I will go to is the Aston show room if I win the lottery. I remember years ago when I went to the Earls court car show. The two cars that took my breath away were the Aston and a couple of porches that were painted with a special paint that made them look like mother of pearl. They looked great under the lights but I can see now that they would have looked ghastly in the daylight. The Ferraris were right next to the Aston stand but they looked like go carts next to the Astons.
