Very nice. Looks to be a lovely example.
I'll be interested in your views relative to the Aston. I had a 360 Modena between a DB7 Vantage and one of the very first DB9s. It was a stunning car but it got far too much attention for my liking. Some was positive but a lot was negative (lot's of coffee beans). In comparison, the Astons were anonymous one positively received - I got waved out often in the Aston but never in the Ferrari.
Hello mateI'll be interested in your views relative to the Aston. I had a 360 Modena between a DB7 Vantage and one of the very first DB9s.

I like them both as they are relatively analogue (compared to modern day cars), and I find the Ferrari more engaging to drive.
Basically, as I become an old git I just don't like many of the new car designs.
I think the 360 was the last classic Ferrari design and the DB9 the last classic Aston (I would include the DBS and Vantage's and your Vanquish in that era too).
Since then nothing has really struck out at me.
I do find everyone loves an Aston though and you do just get waved out all the time! In a week of ownership I am surprised that I am getting the same in the Ferrari though.
If I had to choose between the two it would be the Aston every day, as it it is just more "me", but I am loving the Ferrari every day!

Hello mate!Your a bloody star Julian.

I can't believe it was 3 years ago when we (well, let's be honest, you!) did this.
I will get another date for the pool party when this is all over and take you for a spin in the new car!
Cheers!

Have you been overdosing on the Carry on films currently on TV?
You would make an excellent modern day Sid James and I’d nominate myself as a Bernard Bresslaw lookalike.
Some first class innuendo and double entendres in evidence here.
Keep it up ( ohhhh err )

We ahould perhaps join forces and become the new 'Ant & Dec'.

This thread popped up on one of the emails just before Easter, and I thought that looks interesting.
So I spent far too long in bed Easter weekend mornings, and this weekend end reading the entire thread.
Amazing effort by all to get it built in around three weeks, and the banter in the thread has been most amusing.

It was cracking fun and everyone on here made it that way.
