Newbie saying hello

[V8Staffie]

Hi all

Just want to say hello and thanks for all the posts in 2014 it helped me make my decision to join the Aston Martin club.
I bought a 2014 Vantage V8 Roadster earlier this year.
I went for Onyx black with a few extras that included a sports muffler that is almost too loud with fuse 22 pulled 😎
Bought from Lancaster in Cambridge and can't talk highly enough of Simon and Tim any issues I have had they have resolved in full.
Just had a lively weekend of early morning drives where after having a few heart in mouth experiences the winter boots go on next weekend.

Hope to meet a few of you soon will attempt to post a few pics so if it doesn't work out any tips appreciated.

Car looks great and I love the black grill and tail pipes.

Enjoy and keep that roof down

Unless of course it's raining and you still want to go for a drive! Welcome to the club (mad and all!) - a beautiful car.

Congrats! I bought mine from Cambridge and they've been really good with me too. I enjoyed buying the car from Tim. Being a younger guy, most garages I went to I'd get the impression they didn't think I was really going to buy one, but I remember Tim came out with so much enthusiasm, I was really pleased to do business with him.

That's pretty. Now there's a certain detailer that lurks on here who would gladly make that look even more stunning than it is and ensure it's protected with the very best, because black is always going to be challenging.

Price to you sir: some sausage rolls, a bottle of coke and some cash.

P.S had the DBS done this weekend. Pictures to follow but my oh my does it look the nuts.

you keep feeding fatty and cleaning your car...2 things will happen...1....he will have a conary and none of us will get our cars detailed....and..2.. your paint will start to rub off.....

Welcome, nice car and great choice of spec

[paddy328]

Haha, Tony, I think I've reached the point where I'm going to have to stop accepting cake from people now, though sausage sandwiches are always welcome.

That looks lovely, especially with the black grill. I've heard good things about Lancaster Cambridge(other than the drive getting there!)

If you want me to give it the best start and get it all protected and shiny, give me a bell. That's of course if you don't already have a guy for that.

[woodsypedia]

Welcome buddy. You'll have a great time I'm sure. Let us know how you get on with the winter boots
