New owner saying Hi

[E19SRH]

Recently acquired my first Aston Martin, a 2008 V8 Vantage Roadster. The first month of ownership has been great, smiling every time I drive her.

[divetheworld]

Congratulations! Thats a lovely car, and first post with a picture. You will go far here buddy!

[JimboA]

Many congratulations - a stunning car and I know why you keep smiling! Don't expect that to stop any time soon.

[V8V Pete]

Welcome to Aston Martin ownership. Lovely car. My first year of ownership reveals that the smile lasts for at least a year. Titanium Silver?

[E19SRH]

You're right it's Titanium Silver, Obsidan black interior. I had the car detailed by a justin at Exclusive Car Care and did a brilliant job. Two days of work and plenty of Gtechniq treatments.

Looks fabulous. I had a 9 in that combination and thought it was fantastic. Congratulations and enjoy. If you have not done so already get fuse 22 taken out. Makes the noise with the hood down even better

[E19SRH]

Fuse 22 wasn't there when the dealer handed it over, so enjoying the full sound experience.

Welcome to the board

[E19SRH]

Thanks Mikey K for your link. Have the same issue on mine, near side done before collection and have now discovered it on the offside too. Both had gone right through to the canvass. Dealer has it in hand, but I do really want a new roof rather than yet another repair.

Congrats! Enjoy in good health!

Beautiful -- congrats!

Your welcome
It was in the FAQ but seems to have been removed
Never known a dealer replace one though

Every journey for you now will be a special event.
