New to PH and New Vantage S
Discussion
Hello all - I am new to PH
I have just purchased my first AM and want to share with you all. I have previously owned three 911's. The last one being a 997.1 C4S which I loved dearly and kept for five years. For a number of reasons I decided the new 991 series Porsches are not for me. I have loved Astons for some time ad have finally taken the plunge.
The specs are V8VS with
Storm Black
Bright finish grille
10 spoke graphite wheels
Front parking sensors
Obsidian Black interior
Lords Red stitching
Audio upgrade 700w
Alarm upgrade
Heated front seats
Memory front seats and mirrors
Piano black interior pack
Auto dim rear view mirror
first aid kit
umbrella
That's it. I receive the car in one week. I am more excited about this than any previous car. Living with the colour during our hot summer months in Australia may be a bit of an issue but black for an Aston just seemed right to me. Anyway I would be interested in any comments

I will certainly put lots of pictures up after next weekend - inside and out, with pictures of the red stitching. However there will be no shrimp (or prawns) coming even remotely close to the car....
Yep we pay lots of taxes here plus a big mark-up back to AM. The price of a V8VS is about 205k STG. Big ouch.
The waiting for the car is like Christmas Eve when you were a child, but seven nights in a row.

Copngratulations. Can't wait to see some photos with scenic Australian back drops 
Do you have a preference for the kind of back drop?? I could try to have Jennifer Hawkins (former Miss Universe), a kangaroo, the Sydney Opera House or Cottesloe Beach. Just not our cricket team (we don't really have one any more).My car is being readied for me by the dealer. They sent it to Auto Salon in Sydney where it is getting the full day spa treatment (over two days!). Started with Zymol HD Cleanse (apparently smells and looks like chocolate, WTF !!), followed by two layers of Zymol Royale wax. The chap at Auto Salon assures me it will be worth the effort. I have also had dark window tinting done. This is all adding to my salivation in anticipating collection on Saturday.
