Joined the club.....

Just bought a V8 Vantage in Tungsten Silver with Phantom Grey leather.

Pick it up next week, hopefully for Thursday if all goes to plan.

I will post some photos then and I can't wait to get out and about.

Welcome, look forward to the photos.

I know London is ever expanding but hadn't realised it now included Newcastle!

Lovely car, GMan - same colour as my old DB9.

No, not a George. GMan is a name I picked up in my youth for something I did. But it also happens to be the first letter of my first name.

Anyway really pleased with the car so far and I find myself making my journeys longer on purpose by going different routes.

I had planned on doing some of the usual changes people post up on here about, sills, front splitter etc..but to be honest, I'm not going to bother as happy as is.

Welcome to Aston world....what's a handbrake ??

[The GMan]

Well all sorted and Fuse 22 is now out.

It's not really loud at tick-over but I like how it sounds now lower down the rev range when driving.

Glad that you are enjoying your new car.
I can promise that you will continue to enjoy every drive. They are special.

Good man - you have the original, classic shape.

I replace fuse 22 for a while every few months, so that the valves don't stick.

I agree about the shape -- all Vantages are beautiful, but the original design is the prettiest IMO.
