new(to me! ) V8 Vantage owner

[bigee]

A very happy chappy ! Yes,i've read about the 'rule'.....



Its an 07 plate, lots of options,good history,new clutch,brakes,fresh service etc....oh, and fuse 22 removed !
At this stage it would appear to be all the car I could ever need.

[Bincenzo]

That's an absolute cracker! Welcome!

[BlackV8]

... congrats and have fun

[divetheworld]

Fantastic car. Well done!

And Good lad for the pics. Much appreciated

[bogie]

Nice, congratus - it looks in great condition ...and the same colours as my own car

[bigee]

Cheers all, i've had a lot of cars but this probably tops them all. Just the right blend, looks (obviously ) performance, quality,heritage....my budget crept inevitably but i just had to have one !

Congrats, I completely understand the budget creep and the evaluation that it is the complete package. Had mine for 2 months, done 4000km, and just love it

Enjoy

Well done that man. Now the OCD of cleaning a black car starts. It does look good when shiny though. Even better when it's making those ticking noises after a work out.

Big congrats and welcome. These are wonderful cars.

Stunning! Well done that man. Now go and get it really dirty and enjoy cleaning it again, and again, and... Wheels look great too!

My Tungsten one doesn't look nearly as glamorous when polished up, but then it doesn't look any worse or any better when it is filthy. So it is filthy.

Very nice indeed - what colour is the interior? Darker wheels are definitely the way forward - great for disguising brake dust.

[JulianPH]

Congratulations and welcome, she's a beauty. It's a fantastic feeling isn't it?

Ha ha ! funny you should say that, i am a fussy bugger with cars so its already going in to my 'man' to sort out the (inevitable !) stone chip rash on the front end. The car just looks so good that i cant accept it ! Very shiny now its clean though.
Interior is black, grey headlining.
Had the job of reactivating the Aston tracker today and pairing with the card devices and my phone.All done now, i'm sure on the confirmation e mail it mentioned something about 'auto health checks'.....any idea what thats about ?

[johnnyBv8]

Looks great - congratulations. What's it replacing?

Great move to a new league! You will love it...these cars have soul

[Ken Figenus]

Lovely car, and great work on the number plate aesthetic too. Bang on!

[northernmedia]

Welcome buddy!
You won't regret the move.
(Looks very much like my old V8V )

A good anology that, i reckon my Audi was always competing for a Uefa cup place whereas the Aston is Champions league without a doubt !
