Hello From a Newbie
Discussion
Hello from a long time lurker who has been saving up the pennies (or Eurocents) whilst working abroad to enable me to buy my first Aston on my return - I know pics are obligatory so here they are.
I learned so much from this excellent forum to help me narrow down the buying criteria: ie
1- Stretch to a 4.7 if you can - its worth it
2- Manual is for me - "Clutch learn" ! No Thanks
3- Stick with the main dealers - Pre Sale- v good.Post sale- less so
4 -Buy the colour you want but dont completely forget about resale
5 -My dentist is'nt good enough to make a Sport pack viable ( Though I like the SP wheels - watch this space!)
Any guesses as what colour it actually is ??

Hello Dave & welcome to the club 
Good to see someone on our side of the UK - most of them seem to be in the south east or up norf!
You probably know already but if you click on the name of another pistonhead you can see more info about them including the forums they've contributed to e.g. on mine you will see that we've got a Welsh borders run out on 15th July if you're interested ....

G'day Dave - Bonza car !!
As for all the excellent advice you received on here...well...shucks...don't mention it
Georgeous H will be along shortly to tell us the colour and VIN number, and will probably know things about your car that you weren't even aware of.
North or South Wales ??

Fantastic looking car, love the colour. I'm going to guess at Pentland green (excellent choice if it is!), or possibly Grampian green as there it looks like there is a fair bit of blue in there. Maybe even Spruce green but I'm not aware of any V8V's in that colour. In fact is it blue or green? 
It might help if you posted up some bigger pics
Thanks all for the warm welcome!
I m in South Wales - the pics have The Mumbles Lighthouse in the background
I dont think bigger pictures will help on the colour front - it s actually Tempest Blue, but I agree that,at least to my eyes,
there is a definite Green hue to it. I thought it was different without drifting into "acquired taste" territory!!
Hope to be more of a contributer than a lurker now I m back in good old blighty!!
