V12 advice

[Quarterly]

Hello all. I've been thinking about changing my V8 for a V12. Does anyone know this car or have any comments on it?

also, how do you think the V12's will depreciate? Will it be along the lines of the V8's or will they do better?

Thanks.

Just updating this thread. I called to see the car, its gorgeous but unfortunately has a deposit on it, so on my way home called in to Grange, took a test drive and the rest is history as they say. I shall miss my 4.7 its been a lovely thing to own.

Its a manual, 2011, Meteorite silver and goes like st of a shovel.

Thanks. It does have LW seats, I realise they are a bit marmite for some people but in this car I prefer them.

Thank you chaps. Look forward to meeting you all at some point. I'm collecting the car tomorrow, normally I'd be too excited to sleep tonight, but having worked a 19 hour day, I'm about to go out with the light.

I'm still looking for advice. Took the car for a proper today. The sun was out and all was most definatly well with the world.

A few questions, for those who know.. Is it worth investing in the winter tyres and where did you buy them? If you have the summer tyres do you just take it extra carefully in the wet? Also the sport button is epic, when would you not want to use it? and finally, although my car is garaged at night when its outside an in heavy rain or being washed does water pour over the engine through the bonnet vents? Thanks.

That's just car pornography
I would be extremely jealouse if I didn't have the same one in the garage -

Dam, I thought mine was the only one. Nice photo though. I'll have to get the plinth removed.

I think my time for a V12 Vantage has passed, should of done it when i got my V8 but here is still hoping.

Have you taken a V12 for a test drive yet? It might help you make up your mind

And its for that very reason i dont! I buy my cars outright so for me if i have the cash i would buy, if i dont then i just look. But i certainly dont drive other wise i sell children or remove the breast implants i paid for 2 months ago for the missus!!!

Just sell one of them! Children that is,not the breast implants as that would look rather odd.

The other comment I get is, so what did it cost? I'm not telling you.
