Sir David Brown (May 10, 1904 - September 3, 1993) was an English entrepreneur, managing director of his family firm David Brown Limited and one time owner of shipbuilders Vosper Thornycroft.
Born in Huddersfield, Yorkshire
He owned race horses, played polo, raced cars and motorcycles, and was a qualified pilot, in 1947, Brown saw a classified advertisement in The Times, offering for sale a High Class Motor Business. Brown acquired Aston Martin for £20,000 and, in the following year, Lagonda for £52,500, followed by the coachbuilder Tickford in 1955. He subsequently concentrated all the Aston Martin manufacturing at the Tickford premises in Newport Pagnell.
The legendary "DB" series of Aston Martin cars, including the DB5 driven by James Bond and the DB7 - Aston's most successful model ever - were named after David Brown.

It went bust on numerous occasions in its early years before being bought by tractor magnate David Brown in 1947 and gave the company the DB initials.

Absolutely. I had a best friend from 6th-11th grade, and this year she basically stabbed me in the back. She used to be a person with good morals, and who would stand up for her friends. The only thing wrong with her was how judgmental she was at times, but everybody has their flaws. Now she's lost even the good things about her, and she lied to my friends about what she did so they're all taking her side when they don't know the truth. Life is fun, right?
