Hi all,
I have just become the very proud owner of a 2007 (56) V8 Vantage
Very unusual colour - Giallo Evros Lamborghini

Oooooh I like that.. My favourite colour (as some of you suspected!). Had a yellow TT roadster a while ago but got fed up with all the 'hairdresser' jokes. Well done!

Kidston showing a 6.3 Vantage V8 70s gem . . . driven hard. Flames and noise. Want. Seriously want.

My God . . . shadows any Ferrari GT . . . except maybe a Daytona.

Lovely day and a lovely bottom! Slate blue which looks really good when fully clean.

Dear Aston Martin Owners,

This picture is of MY mansory DB9 and of course a DBS - a very slight difference, I think, but clearly I am wrong. It was brought to my attention last night there was a thread about my car, most of which was negative, then became somewhat abusive (it’s since all been removed) – for example, Middle Eastern, lottery winner, chav, etc.

It ended in someone anonymously emailing me, 'NICE CAR ARE YOU A LOTTERY WINNING RAPPING N**ger?'

Considering the Leeds Castle event, where the pictures were taken, was a charity event for children, I would have thought it to be a non-hostile place to take my car.

To the kind gentleman who uploaded the pictures and started the negative comments, I ask in future please be aware that actions can sometimes lead to unfortunate unpleasant consequences (which I know was never your intention I am sure).

Everybody is untitled to one’s own opinion but like I said in the thread yesterday I would expect more decorum from Aston owners.

To the nice man who emailed me N**ger: FYI I checked the numbers, I did not win the lottery, I heard a beat thus found out I cannot rap, I looked upon myself in a mirror alas I ain’t black! (That’s almost a rap, eh?)

Now saying all that please feel free to continue any pleasant banter. I will happily buy the best/funniest rebuttal and beer at the next meet/show we are all at!!!

Reading the various comments yesterday and putting up a few myself I can say with certainty that the type of thing sent to you by email was not part of either thread.
Comments were made that people didn't like the body kits and wheels, as you say we are all allowed our own opinion (although apparently only the bosses matters).
The middle eastern statement is not an insult they are well known to go for loud colours both interior and exterior and to have outlandish bodykits fitted, it is part of their culture.
You have a car that you have modified to your taste, that is your perogative but in a culture which tends to leave its vehicle largely understated you will always be likely to receive unfavourable opinions on what you have done.
It's your car and I trust you enjoy it and the alterations you have had carried out.

ETA Those on here who would make derogatory comments about anything, not just your car, would put their name to anything they put in writing and say the same to your face. They would not hide behind an anonymous email.

Totally agree there is no excuse for the use of the word n****r or any such inference. If any of the contributors to this forum knew who sent the email I feel certain they would let you know who it was.
As said many are vocal but they are very open about it.
