I went to the Wilmslow grand opening of their new service centre. They put on a good show with a bistro, BBQ (the food was yummy), PS4 Aston simulators and DP100 concept car all for our amusement. More Astons than I've seen in one place outside of Gaydon, with ride and drive trips in any of them for anyone who came. The new centre is a massive leap forward and very impressive.

Again, Martin from the sales team looked over my car and made me an offer that was difficult to ignore. They did this last time!
So it is with a little sadness that I say Bye Bye...
It is a wonderful machine and some lucky person will get a flawless example.

Bye bye....cry









But the story doesn't end there...Hello to it's worthy successor! biggrin
Can't wait for it to arrive.....

Your new V12 looks a stunner, Brent.

May I ask please, what colour is your V8V?
My guess is Titanium Silver, or Grigio Titanio.

Gents, thanks for the support. I can't wait to go for a drive so I can justify writing the cheque!

Took delivery today. Swapped playing with toys at work for playing with this toy... smile

It's true what they say, if you don't want to buy one, don't drive one. This car is a monster!!!

Fantastic! Impressive Vmax recorded by the Satnav yikes

Was that you on your first day of ownership or the previous owner?

I'd like to take credit but I must confess that it was the previous owner.

Enjoy it! You're 100% right, I avoided all things 12 cylinder until I had the funds in place as I knew I'd want one. Great looking V12 you has as well biggrin

Surely a Satnav glitch, I doubt many of these see much over 150mph. What were people seeing on the long straight at Snetterton?

If not, I think I'd have kept my foot in for a few more seconds to try and crack the double ton!
