Which Aston ?

[Jon39]

To OP,

You might now be thinking Aston owners are nuts.

Do not worry, it is only me and a few others.
Most are perfectly normal, without any rivalry between big and small Astons.

My tongue is firmly in my cheek (I moved from a manual DB9 to a V12V).

The DBS remains the best Gaydon car after the V12 V.

I Agree.

Go drive a 2015 Vanquish and get back to me. Apologies for the crippling blow to your bank account in advance, because it will play on your mind. Constantly.

Car dealers and estate agents drive me bleedin mad ,you'd think they were giving it away.
If I treated my customers like that I wouldn't be a Captain of Industry.

Had a drive in a new Vanquish tonight. Really nice and pleasantly surprised. Doing some numbers now.

[Geoff Stilwell]

I will post some pix of my new Vanquish tomorrow ...yippeeee. Seriously though I had a really good drive last night. Motorway plus normal roads. Having now driven both I can understand people from booths say either car is good. For me having a bigger boot is great unlike the lunchbox in the McLaren. The sound system and I mean the entertainment system is far superior to the McLaren. That was just not up to the job. However the steering and responsiveness of the McLaren was amazing. However in the cold light of day I needed something that I could park or get in a car park in London. Don't get me wrong I love the McLaren but I just can't use it everyday. So I shall be welcoming the new car very shortly.

Wow, good work! From "Which Aston?" to "I've bought a Vanquish" in 4 days. Huge congratulations

[Jon39]

Congratulations Geoff.

Great to see quick decisions. It has only happened here on a few occasions, and usually when an owner takes an Aston for service, and instead buys a new car.

You will quickly discover Aston ownership is much more than just another car.
This can best be explained in business terms. Do you know of any other company that has celebrated a centenary, but has only ever made a pre-tax profit on a handful of occasions? Not really possible, but it does show how much passion there is for the Company, the wonderful cars, racing success and the history.

Enjoy your new car.

Brilliant! Really looking forward to seeing the pics and the car one day I am sure

[Little Donkey]

Straight in. I like that.

I'm really chuffed. Got to bed it in and I need to have a play to get everything set up how I like.
