My new (to me) V8V
Discussion
I managed to get things wrong by posting the first photo of my new car up on someone else's thread, so here's one of mine the day I bought it - 26th May - after a lovely 200 mile jaunt down to the coast and back (please forgive the odd fly splatter etc).
I've put a thousand miles on her so far, so she's now sitting at just a shade over 9k on the clock.
She's Meteorite Silver, black leather, silver stitching, light alcantara roof lining, heated seats, premium audio.
I will be joining the AMOC so hope to meet some other Area 1 people soon.

Congratulations. That garage looks like it will be a challenge 
Indeed! Even if I could reverse a car as well as my dad (like most dads his reversing skill is legendary), I'd have had to crawl out of the boot into the garage. That is not an option for one of my corpulency!Car cover will go on, after the hosepipe ban has been lifted, and the rain has stopped long enough for me to clean her.

Lovely car, and apprently the right colour as I just found out with my new car thread.Looks like you have the same problem as me and can't get it in the garage. There is a chap on here that moved the wall in his garage and decorated it like a showroom, it looks amazing. He is a true inspiration, we all stand in his shadow of complete committment.

I love how this colour looks different on a sunny day to a cloudy day, and the deep shine you get from a dark car compared to my other (white) car. I'd love a house with a garage worthy of the Aston Martin, but have no plans to move in the next five years, so I will have to put up with this for now.Looks like you have the same problem as me and can't get it in the garage.

That is a very nice colour combination.
However, I may be a bit biased, here's mine:
Very nice indeed - especially without the numberplate plinth.However, I may be a bit biased, here's mine:
Sorry for the stupid question, but I notice your grille has 6 rows whereas mine has 8. What year did that change occur? Or is it a sport pack option? Got it MY10!

Is that 6 bar grill avaiable as a retro-fit part? it looks nice and must be easier and less dangerous to clean.
I found this post - looks like KarlFranz has done it!http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
