V8 Vantage Boot

[maybe someday]

Evening all,

I'm at the start of the process here of reading up on the Aston brand with Grant Neals definitive guide (what a book!) and have always loved the brand etc. It's more than just the car in my opinion and no doubt someone will be able to word it far better than I ever could!

I have had a look through the forum and maybe it's been covered before, but how many V8 Vantage owners can easily fit the golf clubs etc in? I'll have a daily driver once I'm in a position to buy one, but it wouldn't stop me wanting to drive it at any opportunity :-)

Thanks in advance.

Oh that will happen and hopefully not too distant in the future :-)

Golf sticks? I don't know. But you can get a wheelchair in there.

[QuantumV8]

They'll fit.

Perfect, thanks for that :-)

That looks as though it fits in easily as well!

[stuthemong]

I can fit a set, yes. You have to sneak the club heads into the little cubby in the lhs of the boot, but it's all good!

Two sets may be hard, never tried that.

Oh there'll be no need for two sets that's for sure :-) Thanks.

I tried this today at a dealers and can confirm that as long as you take the big sticks out you can a set in the coupe and the roadster. The driver just about fits along the floor in the roadster and you'll need a relatively small bag.

Thanks for that and I did wonder if anyone had ventured into a dealer with a set of clubs to physically try it before buying :-)

I've been able to place two sets in the back trunk but I had to remove the drivers. I have also been able to fit my bicycle back there.

I'm glad to hear that it's not just me who would use one to take to the golf :-) Lovely car by the way ;-)

I daily drive mine and play hockey once a week. I am easily able to get my massive hockey bag and two hockey sticks in the back with no issue whatsoever. Doing so required the removal of the trunk (boot) cover but that doesn't both me and can be installed and removed in seconds. Ive also taken trips in the car and have had two suitcases with a couple backpacks in there as well. For a car of this caliber there is a surprising amount of trunk (boot) space

I'm liking the sound of this more and more :-) Thanks.

Yes, just about. You have to squeeze the club heads down the cubby hole on the left hand side, and there is only millimeters to spare.

Millimetres is plenty of room :-)

I've had two carry bags with irons in the back of my V8V coupe, small bags with shoes, gear, etc... fit behind seats. Did not risk drivers in back, took them out and went with passanger

Thanks for that. Would the drivers not fit behind the seats?

My wife has already occupied that location.
Her back seat speciality is hindsight driving, "I wouldn't have done that".
