For all who were curious:

Due to some emissions laws that were passed by the European government Aston martin was told that there vehicles were producing too much harmful emissions and they had to sell an eco vehicle to balance the scales of there emissions ratings. Aston Martin (who were desperate) teamed up with Toyota on their Scion iQ project to rebrand them as Aston Martin Cygnets.

After the Brexit happened Aston Martin were no longer required to meet European Emissions laws so they had killed off the Cygnet

Can't think of anything else to comment so I'm just going to post a waffle recipe.


Ingredients

250g Flour (plain)
7g Baking powder
20g Caster sugar
5g Salt
475ml Milk
2 Eggs
30ml Vegetable oil

Method

•Weigh all the dry ingredients, place in a large mixing bowl. Break the eggs into the milk and beat the mixture.

•Add the egg and milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Add the oil and mix all ingredients together until all the large lumps have been broken up. Do not over mix otherwise the waffles will be heavy when cooked.

•Pre heat the waffle maker and spray with oil (1 cal spray works well).

•Pour 3/4 of a cup of batter into the waffle maker and cook for 3-4 mins or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

•Serve hot with maple syrup. Also good served with sliced banana or blueberries.

•Cooked waffles can be frozen and heated up in the toaster. Unused batter mixture can be kept in a container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

WOW, this is one of the most interesting history lessons I have ever had. I am blown away that this company has had such a terrible history as far as ownership and money is concerned. And, even with all that. I would buy an Aston Martin. (:

You guys forget to mentioned James Bond DB5. The original action car was missing from an aircraft hangar in Florida. It was reportedly stolen and even dumped into thr ocean. But recently there was a tip that the car might have survived in the Middle East.

Another appearance for DB5 is for the movie Goldfinger, where 3 DB5 were prepared for the movie and 1 DB5 was kept for the studio.

Recently it appears in Skyfall... where the car is actually borrowed from a Customer of Aston specialist. The car was undergoing restoration when EON approach this specialist who happened to have DB5 that are being restored. Eventually the owner agreed and it was turn into Bond spec.

The car that was destroyed in the end of Skyfall is a replica on top of Porsche 928.
