I don't see that all the fuss is about

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful" - ok it was said in reference to the v12 but this is my first Aston and it seemed appropriate to me. I'm still expecting a rude awakening, it feels very surreal to think that little old me has an Aston

She's taken the name Rosie, the iPhone "shuffle" gods put the Rolling Stones - Doom and Gloom on, before rolling into the next track, AC/DC - Whole lotta Rosie, given the association between the Rose name and Aston as well as the red interior it made sense. (Apologies if someone else has called their car Rose)

Anyway, here are some of the worst quick snaps you will ever see. I literally had to park, 30 seconds to take pics and run off again, I didn't even check the SLR's settings just the light meter, also parked in direct sunlight, never good. I'll get some better ones over the festive period.

I have never had a car as special as this

My my. Those Hunters clearly were very mucky when you were driving in it Fantastic car

^ yes, It was possibly the worst weekend to have picked the car up. The roads were awful. She'll be getting some good tlc this weekend (if I sober up)

Grant, you and your book have made me spend £17k more than I intended. The best £20 on a book to this date. The extra smiles from researching (/geeking) and getting exactly what I wanted first time out are priceless! Thankyou.

Yes it's a great looking interior. It certainly wont make you suicidal.

David, the pics are just fine. Many congratulations. The buzz won't wear off, if anything it gets more intense. Just like being married!! Hope to meet you on some of our drives out next year. Havn't been out in ours for about 2 weeks , the weather has been dire.

Look here you two, taking into account the time of year I am after decent Christmas presses from my beloved!!! Take my advice try it yourselves

It's funny who colour can such a huge difference. I looked at your first picture and thought "What model is that ?" and twigged it's a Vantage.

Which is a bit odd since I've a Vantage and I did not even recognise my own car !
