Btw if you're on Instagram there's about a dozen uk GT8 owners in a chat group discussing the cars/organising meet-ups etc. Shout if you want to join

I don't know if I've been invited in and missed it but would love to try and find it again if so!

We've run into a technical difficulty. It turns out the maximum size of an Instagram chat group is 15 (not sure why). So thinking about an alternative way of doing things

We just sent the invites for the GT8 chat on IG, let me know if I missed anyone!

Thanks,

WhatS'App or email thread?

[alscar]

Filippo / Rob , as a " Luddite " can I be included in any event / general chat via email ?
Or not sure we we couldn't create a new and separate PH thread ?
Thanks
Al

Got yours email address Al, I am creating a group list for meet-ups also on email for those who aren't on Instagram

Will use the usual email [e-mail] for now ...yes whatzup will be ideal, though

[RobDown]

Fil has taken the plunge and set up a whatsapp group to replace the Instagram group (which outgrew its 15 user maximum).

If anyone reading this would like to join can you please contact Fil on the email address above?

Cheers

Rob

While the whatsapp group sounds great, it would be great if this thread still continues!

I'll begin the continuation with possibly my favourite GT8 to date seen at what appears to be the Aston Martin Bristol workshop, a place where a lot of GT8s seem to be hiding!

[Mr.Tremlini]

I`d say Batman would be quite happy with that GT8 !

The new AM 'lift kit' is really not that subtle is it!

Another new Diavolo Red GT8 at Romans. Damn this thing looks good.

It is a lovely shade and a good spec too

This looks rather similar to this one we saw for sale not so long ago, can anyone confirm?

Another GT8 on the market, through an Aston Dealer too.

[RobDown]

I thought exactly the same thing when I saw it. There aren't many (if indeed more than 1) in that colour/spec. And I cant find the other one (with HWM?) for sale anymore. So it may have passed between them

Romans did have the Madascar Orange one before (since sold), so they may be looking to sell to someone who was interested in that but was put off by the marmite colour

[Beefmeister]

Romans arguably have a much bigger scope of buyers than the Aston approved used program, maybe they weren't having any luck at HWM.

[RobDown]

I've just checked the webcached HWM pictures of that GT8. I'm pretty certain its the same car, its got quite a specific spec to it (carbon roof but no carbon wings for example, 7 spoke 5 stud wheels).

Its a lovely looking car

[moneymakestheworldgoaround]

LB66 VZO is the plate, if anybody is interested

[national]

Ok, thanks for all of your replies.

I'm quite surprised it's gone from an Aston dealer to Romans!

[longtail]

Franchise dealer may have been offering SOR .only. Romans will buy for cash

[RobDown]

Very nice class win today for the GT8 in the Nurburgring 24hr. 8 laps ahead of 2nd place and only beaten in the overall by the race-prepped GT3s

Some great driving from Darren Turner et al!
