V8V Newbie (ish)

[peterr96]

Hi folks

I've been breaking all the rules by occasionally joining the fray before introducing myself and posting photos.
I've finally found the time to do something about that.... sorry for the breach of protocol there.
Assuming I can use a computer there should be some photos of our Azuro California V8V below.
Feel free to lambast speeling and punktuation
Edited to say bs I can't use a computer. There's only one photo. Trying again

Another Kent gent, and in a very lovely looking car.

Sorry to repeat but we do have an enthusiastic bunch of SE Astoneers. Pm me if you want to be added to the list for notification of any local meets.

Probably after LeMans now and we have Hever to look forward to.

Would love to see that colour amongst the 'greens' eh Tony

the sooner yobo silver is banned the better in my opinion.......;)

[tonyhall38]

oh and forgot to add......nice car mate...you qualify to be parked with the non standard group....

[peterr96]

Aw shucks, Thanks for the positive comments everyone.
The misses and I lost an entire nights sleep worrying about what we'd signed up to when we ordred that colour.
Once we saw it we knew it was a good trade off though. One nights sleep vs something a bit out of the norm.
Happy days

Beautiful! That's a Ferrari color, is it not? Special order, I assume... Mine's TDF blue, but I prefer yours!

Yes special order. The "Ferrari Azzuro California" sounded so much nicer than "Citroen Tivoli Blue" and at the time Aston didn't have a blue in their repertoire that fitted the bill.
I like the TDF blue but for blighty in the murk of winter I think a lighter colour is nicer. Hides the muck well too; not that I ever let it get too dirty no..
