BTW, your gf pic in the girlfriends and wives thread made me

Ok thanks for all the advice so far guys.

I have CAA so I will probably see if I can have the car towed to my mechanic, even tho it's an hour away

Before I do that I will try and plead my case to corporate and really pressure them to the fact we are loyal Aston customers but if this issue is not resolved properly it will be the last Aston we ever buy.

I mean really, would you buy another 200k car if the clutch blew at 8000km due to no fault of your own and the repair was 8000$?

I'm assuming she has some high level contacts in the biz, so they might want to see to it that her car get serviced under warranty to save themselves the bad publicity.
