Picked up my manual V8 Vantage Roadster yesterday, needless to say I was a little pre-occupied yesterday so only got around to posting up some pictures today.

This is my first Aston, only the third I've driven. Not ashamed to admit its the looks and sound that does it for me. Ok its not the fastest car in the world (and I've got my Exige for that particular kick) but its no slouch, the sound is heavenly and its a thing of beauty. I keep going outside just to look at it smile And the appreciation you get on the road, people smiling appreciatively, letting you out at junctions, the car breeds courtesy wink

Anyway I'll stop waffling / drooling on and post a few pictures. Quality is rubbish as it was dusk, taken on my iPhone 5s and I'm no David Bailey. But hopefully you get the idea.

Thanks for all the kind words guys thumbup

To answer a few of the questions:

Yes its Meteorite Silver (read metallic grey wink )
Interior I'm not sure of the official name of the colour? But its a very dark cherry red. Is that Bitter Chocolate? Perhaps my photos make it look more brown? It is a really nice contrast against the grey, that dark red. Originally I discounted this car as I did want one with that colour interior, but in the end popped in to see the car as I was close by, I fell in love with the colour of the interior.

The roof is black

Been really enjoying using the car, got a few observations, questions and pleasant surprises but I'll post those up in another thread
