V12VS First Drive
Discussion
Well all I can say is that I am about to board a train and no time for a full review, I will do that later. So do I want one 
er 
Suspension is a good compromise for long journeys with track mode offering firm option much like the V12V but better. Love the asm3 and the brakes are more progressive and quieter. I did not like the mesh grill, until I saw a car with and without slats, I like the grill.....
So these were all pre production cars, still undergoing tweaks and changes and Aston Martin were brave to let people drive them, for me they got that right. Are there things that can be improved, definitely and that is the reason they asked people to drive it and feedback.
I understand they are releasing a v12vs Cockernee edition also with more power, extra load carrying for extra swag and a gun holder in place of the umbrella holder.
When I get home later I will give an account of the 3 track sessions I got and in depth feedback, however I am about to sell Tracy's right arm later to buy one. Nuff said.

Yeti, I am so glad you mentioned the trousers. I honestly felt a bit scared to say anything. Repercussions and all that! Anyway back to the V12VS. Now that it has an up to date gearbox could it be the car to have? Cockers let us have a proper revue please!
Surely not that theatrical Rob!Tony, I know that it is early days. Do you think that we should have one of those"S" then? If it is that good , should we take the plunge? Apparently there are a multitude of low mileage high spec 458's out there for similar money. Frankly I don't want or need one of those. Report back at your earliest convenience please.

Woolders , I am having a severe reaction to your telephone call last evening and having a couple of G and T's. Great talking to you by the way. 4 weeks of sobriety cannot go unmentioned!!!!
Woolders - you have a lot to answer for - just wait 'til I see you next w/end! 
And another thing - how come you boys all studiously ignore my post on my Wales thingy forum - I was quite excited about my post this evening and no b*ggers bothered to comment . ... rant ....rant....rant....

I did indeed have a gander at Cockers Dropbox; not attractive.
As you can imagine, the technology at my disposal is far in advance of whatever Cockers has dropped in his box and my mate Tommy does not understand where you are going.
Googly Mapy or just follow the bloke in a Volvo Estate - you know he will be there!

Don't worry about Cockers dropped box - it didn't work for me either, I have printed an old-fashioned thing called a map and will be happy to supply a copy to anyone who is nice to me next weekend (with postcodes for beginning, end & lunch for the really confused
