Probably would have been cheaper to upgrade to the BR twin plate clutch. Just sayin

Agreed....if that was my only reason for changing....

Never mind Gerry,no shame in doin' a bit of mini-cabbing.
Should get lots of business 'round Romford in that.
How much to Gatwick mate ?

LOL!

I see lots of cars like that on the road every day.
Clearly it is not an Aston Martin, but I don't recognise it.
You will have to help me with this.

I know, there is always a row of these outside the bahnhof.
Perhaps you are going into the taxi business?

You got it, very lucrative it is too!

Try the new RS6, that has to be the new benchmark......

The danger is that you would fall asleep driving it!

I am a massive AMG fan but try one.......converted me!

Most thrilling drive from a barge I have ever had

I was only jesting, I did test drive one but I don't believe it was the latest version. I just find them very boring/sterile inside.

Great car Gerry, the noise is epic and it is amazing off the line. I've been properly scared in one of them!

Can't wait!!

Blimey Gerry, that was quick. Sorry to see you go so soon.

Sorry me old china, might see you round at some of the Essex boy meets?

I can now get more swag in my car than yours, although very doubtful the old bill could ever catch you like they could me!!



Cheers

Thought it pretty obvious myself!

Six bleedin' posts over 14 months and he felt it necessary to have a dig at you.
Cannot understand how some people can be so mean.
Best of luck with your new car Gerry.

cheers mate, appreciate the comments.

Looks stunning, got 4 seats, will go like stink and the noise they make is great,
Enjoy

Cheers John, spent an hour in it today, giving it beans sounds like a frikin detonator, unbelievable sound, very different to the Vantage but just as aurally pleasing, in a different way.

Indeed, I took a mate of mine who has a DB9 out in mine and he was quite blown away by the noise and performance. It's not an Aston but it has its own charm in an AMG kind of way. You'll get used to sliding it around a bit and if you set the traction control to sport and suspension to sport, it's not too bad on a B road. The only thing that's disappointed me slightly is the throttle response (or lack of) but I'm getting used to it. Have you found that an issue yet?

Not yet, but haven't really 'explored' yet and unlikely to do that today, what a miserable freakin day!

I have to re-iterate though, the sound is simply stunning, as I am sure you know.

And to top it all unlike my local dealer when you get issues he will never say

Well it's a Mercedes

Because you will not get any issues
