Have a mate that's spent over 5 yrs restoring a 70's David Brown tractor.. And an awesome job he's done too!
Anyhow he calls it "his Aston"... As in Aston Martin. Finally I just had to ask.. "why call a bloody tractor Aston"? Well blow me down.. The DB (as in Aston Martin DB5 or DB8 or 9) actually stands for David Brown (as in tractors) Apparently David Brown tractors bought the struggling Aston Martin company for 20,000 pounds back in the late 40s and the DB model designation has been ever since! (and I thought I knew everything!)
