Well done that man thumbup beneath that beautiful sleek (stunning in Carbon Black) exterior is a real beast waiting to get out. The V12V has a real Jekyll and Hyde character - enjoy you lucky chap smile
Oh and be sure to take the parcel shelf out and lay it neatly on the boot floor for the full V12 experience fuse out! wink

Welcome to the club! You'll always have that big grin when you fire up that glorious V12!

I too bought my 2011 Carbon Black V12 Vantage from Grange but the Brentwood Dealership, the guys there were great.

Look forward to seeing you and all the others at Burghley this year - it'll surpass the 2014 event looking at Ed's little insights.

THANK YOU to everyone who's congratulated me! Look forward to meeting you all in the very near future and thanks for the warm welcome. I'm getting restless now waiting for the car to be ready. I've even started looking at buying AM accessories such as the wallet and hip flask to keep me going in these stressful times... biggrin

So from this thread (and others) it looks like these are the CB V12 Club members:

V12VMan
damianke
cayman-black
C997
Tex
t0s
sukh_m
(Nijius Maximus)

Nice to be a member!


Grant3: It was thanks to your excellent book that got me on this journey in the first place. You've even got a whole half page dedicated to the CB V12V. Nice.

V12VMan: You're right about the grin. I couldn't stop smiling! Grange at Brentwood were really good as well, in fact all the AM dealers I visited. Really laid back and friendly.

Mako V12V: Thanks for the info on the car! It looks like we've reached the bottom of the depreciation curve... wink

bentley01: Wow, your car looks good. Can't beat a black car on a sunny day...

Guys, I just got the tyre depths:
Rears are 3-5-3, 4-4-4 and Fronts 4-4-3 and 4-5-4

Is this all good??

Why do I feel like the dots at the end of your sentence imply that you really wanted to say:

"... But you shouldve bought a Vanquish."

biggrin Haha.

Thank you lewisco! I've spent my whole day thinking about it at every spare moment... smile

mblade, that's a great photo. Speaking of professional photographers, here's a photo our photographer took when I got married in November. And which car did I hire for the whole weekend....an Aston of course!



A Rapide S is a stunning car. Great fun driving it.
I'm gonna get the photographer to come down for the V12V as well...

Here's something else you could get. I know it's been done to death but I think it's great. Fully customisable to your car. Just make sure they spell Warwickshire right lol.

It's lazer etched on aluminium plate.

Funny you should say that as my sister's getting married in March. It was meant to be... thumbup

Love the laser etched poster. I remember seeing that on another thread. Would look nice in my office. Anymore for anymore? I should be bankrupt by the end of the week... biggrin

Nijius,

I can't resist it any longer so congratulations on a stunning new car…………...:thumb up:

You appear to have followed the code of practice quite nicely thus far but to complete the journey you must also register to attend Burghley……….yes

Its at the top of the page btw.

Just think of the admiring looks and glowing comments you'll receive when its out on parade with the majority of us,what better way to meet the forum inmates…..hehe

You'll even get to meet Tony who will no doubt call you a tosser whilst he tries to flog his knob…………..s.
