So what have you done with your Aston today?

DBS wheels are certainly a nice improvement for me, the standard V12V wheels are not great looking, I'm after changing mine, just need to decide what with...

[whoami]

I like DBS wheels but they look too big on the Vantage.

Guessing they are they 20" diameter?
I'd agree, just a fraction too big, it's difficult finding the perfect aesthetic balance.
Still better than standards

DBS wheels look much better!

Went to Bovey Castle last night for the DB11 preview event put on by Dick Lovett for owners in the SW and more than 200 turned up. Great evening but have to say not blown away by the car. It was dark blue with black interior. Some lovely cars outside in the hotel forecourt.

Great evening Ian. Like you I was underwhelmed by the car - the sat nav screen is a particularly ugly "add on".

[hornbaek]

Agree with you. I simply doesn't do it for me but apparently the order book is filling so good for AML. But i could get tempted by a Vanquish at the right price with the new gearbox and all carbon body.

Drove onto the M25 not realising it had been salted this morning

Been playing with different wheels last weekend and this weekend!!! 19" V12 and 20" DBS

The V12 were a stop gap while the DBS wheels got a full refurb.

V12S Forged wheels are going on next to see what they look like

Nice photos , what's the colour of the Vantage ?

I went to the Grange launch event. Theirs was a silver car. I loved it - much better than in photos. I only heard positive comments.

Went out for one of those 2 hour plus run outs where you go to nowhere in particular and for no other reason than to enjoy the car, beautiful day and lovely sunshine to boot.
Oh and what a car, only problem with it is I just wish I had got one sooner.

Lovely colour - so glad people are buying astons in colours other than varying shades of grey! I think those unplanned drives are always the best, just you and your car.

First wash, put into garage ready for a blast tomorrow.

I was lucky enough to have a tour of the factory today.

Is your car wrapped? DVLA said its meant to be silver? (was trying to work out if your car is black or blue)

It's the best feeling just driving for the drive, destination unknown.
