Hey guys

Chopped in my 997 911 C4S for a 4.7 Vantage yesterday.

First impressions are that it was absolutely the right call! I love the looks, noise and it doesn't feel any slower than the 911 and that's without even really giving it anything too!

Obligatory pictures to follow when I get on my laptop after dinner!

congrats! But remember, pictures or it never happened!

PS Ed will be along in a second to invite you to Burghley - just keep 3rd July clear in your diary! smile

congrats ! I made a similar move going from a 996 911 turbo to a 4.3 vantage although it's not as quick as the porsche the whole package is definitely worth the swap I don't regret it one bit. Enjoy.

Welcome to the club. You'll not regret it, I took the same route four 911's over 16 years and now an Aston owner since 2008! Obligatory smile every time you fire up that glorious V8 or catch a glimpse of the stunning lines of the Vantage clap

Congrats. The noise alone was worth the change.

Must have been a very long dinner wink

Congratulations on a good move and look forward to those elusive pictures and of course seeing it at Burghley

Congrats, and welcome to the AM club! I find it much more entertaining, and far less likely to see one at a stop light.
