I'm picking up my Storm Black one tomorrow. I've had quite a lot of cars but this is my first Aston. I've never been so excited about buying a car!
You're picking up from Cambridge aren't you? Perhaps we could have a ying and yang coffee meet / break on route if our paths are likely to cross on the way home

Any other time I would like that a lot but tomorrow time is tight as we have to get back to cook dinner for guests that will be arriving. Keep in touch though and let me know how you get on. Craig

me too really. I've been given a deadline to get my arse in door by her who must be obeyed, I'm already putting that at risk as I'm heading to DAE when I've picked the car up Keep in touch though and let me know how you get on. Craig

You have no idea!! Started getting some major doubts and pangs of sadness as I handed over my current vantage to the new owners. I love that car, the looks, the drive, sounded fantastic and being an early Vantage it was safe money.
I did the exactly the same thing 3 years and 10 months ago - Morning Frost White V12V. Trust me, your previous car was great but you will have no regrets. Hadn't driven one before I drove it out of the showroom, remember the first time I hit the throttle - just make sure you hang on - they are quite quick 
. However if you are on Corsa's be careful in wet and cold!Have a great day.

Decided to do my bit by melting the Polar Icecaps. Decided to add 4 more cyclinders and an extra 80 horses, put a deposit down on this Volcano Red beastie. Only have to wait 3 weeks before I pick it up.
If you like I'll keep an eye on it when I drive past the garage every day. Congratulations looks stunning! 
She's / he's / it's / the car is home 
I'm in love!! I was a bit concerned I might not appreciate the differences from my 2008 V8VR and this V12V, but I really do! I've realised I much prefer the lines of the coupe and the cabin feels so much more spacious. Everything feels tighter and newer (3yrs newer, 40k less miles having something to do with it probably) the torque and power......wow, wow, wow. I've got a supercharged Exige that would just about pip this to 60, so I wasn't expecting to be blown away, but it is very obvious once off the line, the in gear speeds, my little plastic car wouldn't stand a chance. The noise is beautiful. I loved the noise of the V8, it was aggressive, angry sounding and very additive. Tunnels were my favourite haunt. The V12 noise is just.....more refined, more powerful sounded, has presence. The audio!! Well I had the bog standard 160w system in the V8. I thought that was pretty good. But the B&O system! Even at low volumes you can just hear the crispness. And then there is he colour!! It's the first thing people mention when they see it, what a beautiful colour it is, how it suits the car, makes it stand out but not in a brash way. I love the way it changes in different lights, eccentuates the curves by the change in colour on the angles. The pictures below, I haven't messed with filters, these are raw pictures straight from my iPhone.
Also want to give a public shout out to HWM and Stuart Parker. It was a good experience and even with a minor hiccup in the morning they sorted it out without too much fuss........ even sorted me out with a nice leather key pouch and a new set of valve caps. Will definitely be in touch with those guys for my next AM purchase.
Right, taken just a few pictures since I got the car. Some next Liam Payne (One Direction) new DB11. And no I didn't look in through the passenger side window envisaging Cheryl Coles (or whatever her name is now) bum will be sitting on that seat

I picked mine up from Cambridge yesterday and in the words of Clarkson it is 'Absolutely fantastic. Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful!!'
I like everything about this car, except the satnav which I made the mistake of setting before heading off. I couldn't switch it off or turn down the volume and the map froze about 3 miles into the journey but the loud voice continued, lol! Even with all that I was grinning all the way! Whenever I pressed the loud pedal the back end would squirm and the traction control light would flicker but I didn't care because I was in an Aston Martin. I'm genuinly impressed with the amount of relentless shove these cars have but haven't been able to fully explore yet because of the cold damp conditions.
I'd also like to thank Tony Gardener at Aston Martin Cambridge for making my purchase a pleasurable one and getting the car prepared to a very high standard -
the Detailing guy really worked his magic!

Only 3 weeks - I don't quite know how I would cope with that. It's a lot of sleepless but excited nights. Save - It looks absolutely stunning!James.
