Finally took the plunge! *happy bunny*
Discussion
I picked up this little beauty last week, and have managed to rack up 500 glorious miles since...
What fun!
Fantastic car to drive, every journey really is an event as other people have said. The handling is superb, as are the brakes and steering, and I just fell in love with the Vertigo Blue when I saw it in the flesh. Only two downsides so far... I've discovered that the only way to get it into the office car park entrance is diagonally, because of the dip in the road at the kerb (plank of wood anybody?), and it now makes my other car (Jag S Type R) feel like a boat!
We're looking forward to many happy miles together

I keep coming back to this thread to look at the car. I thought I had made my mind up on the colour i want but now i'm having second thoughts.
I'd love a Morning Frost White V8 Vantage but they are like hen's teeth to find. I then thought I had settled on Tungsten until I saw Toro Red and this lovely shade of Vertigo Blue.
Now I just can't make up my mind. Damn you Aston Martin for having such deep and rich colours on your cars!

Apparently a couple of the colour descriptions are incorrect, but it gives you an idea at least. Most of the Vertigo Blue pics in the list are of Steve*B's car (pictured above), though the last few pic examples in the link aren't Vertigo, but an unknown shade. Does that make any sense?

I believe the Tour de France blue car may be mine.Apparently a couple of the colour descriptions are incorrect, but it gives you an idea at least.
