Vicariously, by watching every single Youtube video on the V12V. And when they ran out - onto DBS videos on the grounds that it has similar running gear.
Good plan! 
Get a brochure of your car, old roadtests, or just pictures and just enjoy the torment.... we all know it's the best bit.

Only 2 more sleeps 
Just got an email saying handover is looking likely to be next WEDNESDAY... 
The wheels are coming back on Friday and the badges + glass buttons arriving on Monday (if they order them today).
On the one hand we have some friends staying over with us for the weekend so don't think wifey would've liked me partaking in driving fun in all my spare time. On the other hand I still have the R8...but I want my Aston goddammit!!!

I don't think that's a good plan, looking at stuff you could've bought but didn't eats away at you (I find)...also avoid any form of classified section lest there be a better car at a better price.

I'm keeping myself occupied by looking at cool, but completely unnecessary Aston Martin accessories...which I will no doubt end up buying nonetheless!Get a brochure of your car, old roadtests, or just pictures and just enjoy the torment.... we all know it's the best bit.

Deep breaths and count to ten. It will soon be here. When you have finished YouTube on the V12 you could always revert back to porn.
Revert back?? Any Aston video is porn my friend!

Not even she would be allowed to wash my car with a sponge! Lambswool mitt or GTFO!
I had to wait over 4 weeks between putting a deposit down and taking delivery of my car. Independent inspection then partial respray then warranty inspection took far too long for my liking... it was torture!

Thanks my friend! 269 posts and only a matter of days to go before I'll be officially part of the Carbon Black V12 Club like yourself. Look forward to comparing cars. For me the CB,s are the best!

king hates reverse gear if there is any slight slope in sight.
I thought that was only a problem with the Sport Shift models - is it an issue with the manuals as well?? I thought I'd left those woes behind with my last Vantage...! king hates reverse gear if there is any slight slope in sight.cayman-black said:
Yes . Think very carefully when you need to reverse, it hates any slopes.
I have the V12 wing badges on as well and they look superb. The price you mention is for one only.
Look forward to the pictures when you get the beast.
Meh, get yourself a pair of these puppies for driving http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/race-boot...I have the V12 wing badges on as well and they look superb. The price you mention is for one only.

Excellent times, I would just check (if you haven't already) that Aston have sent the glass switches. I had mine changed in my N430 but Aston would not release the switches as there was one missing from the set! It took two weeks to sort out despite the best efforts of the dealer. You don't need that sort of disappointment when you are so hyped up.

I gave up on the switches in the end as they said they would have to dismantle the seats to put in the seat tilt switches which could affect the tightness of the leather plus it would add to the labour cost. Just didn't seem worth it in the end when I got the final quote, especially as most of the time I'll only be using two of the switches!Hope those 24 hours go quickly for you.
Reference the glass switches you should be able to just get the 2 switches you are going to see/use, if Welwyn cant help on that one you could try Bamford Rose Mike is very helpful.
Mine has a problem with one of the new tyres not holding air so it has gone back to Works Service to be sorted, so there is now a void in my garage, what am I supposed to look at now!!!!

My sincerest sympathies on no longer having such a beautiful work of art to admire...they should've given you a courtesy car: don't they have any spare One-77s lying around...?
