New owner saying hi

[Rich OD]

Thanks to all the helpful information on here and to Grant's fantastic book which I poured over in Bali last summer, I took delivery of my V8V at the end of September last year (I know I'm slow to say hi!)

I picked it up with only 7k miles on the clock and have added 3.5k since and have loved every second of owning such a thoroughbred. For me, the car strikes a great balance, being not as harsh as a fantastic Exige I once owned and being far more exciting that the blandness of a 996 which I quickly grew bored of a couple of years ago.

I think this one might be a keeper... Managed to grab a couple of hastily taken photos a couple of months ago,

Looking good!

I'd take the numberplate box off, and get some clear rear lights fitted to just finish it off though

Yes just posted on the original thread

Wish I could see it - all I've got are the red crosses in a box and I'm too thick to fix it

Are you sure that's not the sangria kicking in affecting your eyesight

Welcome along mate. I may be a poor non Aston owning type, but I've seen a few.....

I think George is right, some clear lights at the back would look lovely.

Any cleaning/waxing/detailing questions you might have, let me know.
