Hello Everyone,

I've been lurking in the shadows learning from you all for many months, and last week took the plunge. I bought a V8V. Toro red, 56 plate (07 model).

Had a wonderful weekend out playing, although I think there must be something wrong with the petrol gauge, as surely I didn't get through that much wink Really nice reaction from passers-by and other road users. Feeling pretty chuffed to be an Aston owner.

I'm in the Bristol area, so if there are any meets in this part of the world, I'd love to pop along. Any excuse to drive it somewhere really!

Welcome darling.

Be wary of any wierdos on this forum.

They are easily spotted.

They ask to see pictures of your car smile

Welcome on-board and good choice of wheels thumbup

Hopefully the "feel good" factor will continue for many months / years to come.

You'll get used to the petrol gauge being pulled rapidly downwards laugh

thanks, the colour wasn't really my first choice, but everything else added up. I'm just a few miles up the road.

Welcome enough and forget about the mpg wink
