Its going to be a long night.

After much anticipation and negotiation my V8 Vantage is off back to the dealer for good tomorrow to be exchanged for a bright ORANGE!!!!!!..... yes flame Orange V12 Vantage.

Here she is waiting in the showroom. Picture looks red but it is Orange.... think the orange colour that is the minor detailing around the grill on the green La Mans cars.



Excited.....................

Congrats on joining the V12V club. Now get yourself off to Bamford Rose for a 570BHP monster wink

Loved that colour when I saw it on a DBS.

Anyway it is not the snow that you need to worry about, it is the temperature below 7 degrees that will make your TC light up.;)

can't see the pic, but given your location, is it the one at JCT in Leeds? If so, I am very, very jealous - it is beautiful

I saw that one in JCT.

Very, very orange.

I love it.

At least if it does snow, you'll be quickly located.

Congrats, that's a nice car. thumbup

It doesn't much matter whether it's snowing or not the rear tyres will still spin readily when it's this cold. It just needs a little restraint on the right foot until you get used to it.

Have fun !

Very nice - I saw this also in JCT - you must be picking your up just after me. I'm collecting my V12V from Max at midday and he said another customer was coming in later to pick the Red V12V up smile

As I recall yours is a really well spec'd car and does look stunning - better in real life than the pictures I think

I'm also hoping for warm & dry roads (no chance I expect)

Winter tyre option wink. Remember Traction Control to track mode, none of that nanny state interference.......... (warning, taking notice of me with regard to traction control settings could seriously ruin your day)

Could I borrow your set whilst you are residing at Her Majesty's Pleasure (assuming they can catch you!)

I don't mind 'hiring' them for a few J2O tokens hehe

When I was at jct on Wednesday detailing Paul's new v12v, I saw this doing doughnuts in the car park. Hope they fitted new tyres for you.....only joking. I did see it drive past me while I was working away though. Lovely colour.
