Rich, I'm not usually a fan of aftermarket wheels, but those (and the car) look great.
They are not aftermarket wheels, just Aston Martin Vantage standard option wheels for the last few years.

Thanks, guys! These are destined for my red Vantage but I'm going to figure out my next set for the grey car. I've been running the five-spoke BC Forged RT50 for a while now and I'm thinking about changing things up cool

I think the comment was intended for Telum01, Dave.

You must be nicely wealthy to respond to being called 'Rich' ;-)

Sounds like an amazing trip and would love to do similar. Only trouble is the two seats... will have to hire a Rapids from Budget rentals wink

Also love this centre console treatment! When I was looking for my Vantage, a lovely blue V12VS Sportshift was for sale for some time which had Q embellishments including an orange stripe down the centre of the console to reflect the outside. Unusual but loved the idea! How much effort was is to get done?

To be fair Adam, there were a lot of pictures/posts between the two sets of wheels on show and I thought everyone who owned a Aston Martin used to be called Rich!

Went for a drive with 15 or 20 like minded folk kindly organised by Stratton Motors near Norwich - very nice evening indeed and hats off to the owner of the DB5 for 'driving it like he stole it'!!

Congrats AZ - gorgeous Vanq in the best colour. Perfect time of year to enjoy the drop top. Ironically, I've just bought a MY12 DBS in quantum silver. I look forward to sharing pics when I finally get behind the wheel in a couple of weeks. Any nuggets I need to know about DBS ownership? (am relatively wise having previously owned a db9 for several yrs).

The DBS is something special - a car that is much more than the sum of its parts.

It is, at heart, a DB9 turned up to 11. But for some reason the car is so much better than that suggests. It is more planted, more aggressive, more fun.

No real tips other than give it its head regularly.

More like a case of what I haven't done. The finest weather we've had all year and the roadsters stuck in the garage as we are having the patio relaid and theres 8 tonnes of sand and 10 tonnes of slabs blocking her in.
