New Owner V8V

[Jon2410]

Blimey. Took the plunge. New V8V purchased last week for September delivery. Tungsten silver, manual. Have lusted in a near sexual way over AM's for decades, and it feels surreal that I am shortly to be an owner.

Thanks to the forum for invaluable advice without it even realising. Taken a week to be allowed to post though??

What I've learnt to date:

If you own a V8 don't drive a V12. Disappointment awaits.
Buy Grants book - done
Contact Paddy for detailing - done
Remove fuse 22
Love your car - always.

Just can't wait. Only downer is away on business to the 12th. Won't be able to sleep. Just like Christmas as a kid.

congrats ....its going to be a slow few weeks waiting, but worth it

Congratulations.

We can all remember the first time excitement, waiting for collection day.
For me, four years later, there is still excitment every time I drive my V8V.
An Aston Martin is certainly more than just a car. You will enjoy.

Judging by the timescale, I think you might have found a dealer stock car, that matches your own requirements.

PS. I have just noticed.
You are clearly so excited, that you have two topics running.

Big congrats! I'm still very excited about mine even after having it nearly 6 years.

I'm on my third Aston Martin, and even after decades of owning exotics, everything from Bentley Continentals to Mercedes SL's, I still get excited about owning an Aston. Hope you get a lot of pleasure from it!

Yep, telling everyone twice. Hopefully driving is less clumsy than typing.

Dealer stock car. Correct. Ticked the all the boxes including colour. A few extras that frankly I wouldn't have necessarily spec'd but then impatience got the better of me

Congrats that man. I'm on my second AM and really can't see me leaving any time soon. I'd love to one day be in a position to spec a brand new one but I can definitely wait for that day.
