A proper old school Aston colour. However, I'm not a fan.

I like the green, not sure it suits that car. A very classically vintage colour, would like to see it in the flesh.

Had a look round Guycord's V12V yesterday, his painted bonnet vents looked so good. At least this dark green hides the chav carbon tat smile

How was the cheeky monkey? Mike still looking after it or has he planted the rear into a hedge with all that silly torque and not told me?

I have to agree the vents do look good painted. I saw it at BR a few weeks back.

Hello Steve G, they are just jealous that an a American should have access to a 500+ BHP Aston that weights less than a Reliant Robin. I certainly wouldn't push it out of my garage. Looking at your garage, you seem to be into your Jags. In England they are comparable to Robin Reliants, swap them in for a couple of Astons....... laugh

Simply doesnt suit that car. That colour also ages the driver.

Am I on the wrong thread Maverick?

Hello F1,

Just checked your garage as I thought I missed something, you have no Jags, just the utlimate Vanquish. Everyone knows that Jags just don't have that, "oomph". I've been to my Jag dealer to get the Aston serviced, and I've parked amoung brand spanking new XKR's the 500BHP versions, with the latest gizmo's etc. I've come out in the carpark to find that people are gathered around the Aston, and I'm in a Jag dealership ..... tongue out

Pulled up in a garage the other day (you know how often we have to stop in thosefrown) and a chap with a XKR (400BHP) was filling up, he went from smiling because he was top of the food chain to being quiet as the big V12 DB9 parked next to him. The manager came out of his little office to serve me, to ask me about the car, a lady asked if I would swap it for her VW Estate. When pulling away about 5 staff members had their faces pressed against the window. Gave them a good roar .... biggrin

What I'm saying is, as I drone on blabla, is that Jags are nice, but not even comparable to Astons.

So like I said to our American Cousin, get rid of the Jags, replace them with Astons ......... cool

I bet he agrees when he wakes up .......

I have decided I now like this green, reminds me of a Bentley colour. I think the wheels need to be darkened though to matt black (yes George, I know rolleyes ) like the old Bentley racers. They were dark, dark green with black everything else, very intimidating, very British smile

Would love to see this car in person.

You're right I didn't think of the Bentley Green, very British, I wonder if DB9volatedriver speaks with an English accent?
