I only want a manual so my choices are limited.

Fair play!!

Not that I'm in any sort of financial situation to be splashing that sort of cash on cars you're exactly right, spending that much of your own hard earned you should be able to decide what you want withing the manufacturers specification, they failed to deliver and acted like shysters about it afterwards.

Would certainly put me off buying one of their cars if I could ever afford to!

Sorry it didnt work out in the end OP. Agree spending a lot of money you should get exactly what you want.

Not a missed opportunity to make a bit of money out of the back of a bad situation though if they are going for overs?

New GT3 comes with Manuel dont forget...

No build spots left, so you'd have to pay more from someone selling there spot

Oh no, my 165K car is a different colour than i ordered. Shall i flip it for a load more cash, accept it and sit on it for a bit before selling for even more or reject it and keep my 165K. Hmmm.

Absolute first world problems. There are many more unenviable positions i think people could be in.

I got an email that I could still place a deposit until 30 June (and then again at the launch first come first served) - would have hoped that there are still some left of the first run in that case ....

Did not read the full thread but would have also been very pissed off about that
If they really trade for a premium as opposed to advertised, i would have probably taken delivery driven it a bit and sold if I can't get pleasure out of it

You had to trawl back through 3 months of forum threads and find one started six months ago to be offended by someone elses success in life?

Got here via the recently posted 'spotted' thread. Had a skim through and thought there were bigger issues. Am i jealous? No, Astons don't do anything for me.

Well the situation was long since resolved.

Hardly worth getting upset about after all this time.

I am sure you have more pressing things to be upset about.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion. It wasn't even the OPs situation i had issue with, it was someone describing it as 'unenviable'.
