Thanks to all the helpful information on here and to Grant's fantastic book which I poured over in Bali last summer, I took delivery of my V8V at the end of September last year (I know I'm slow to say hi!)

I picked it up with only 7k miles on the clock and have added 3.5k since and have loved every second of owning such a thoroughbred. For me, the car strikes a great balance, being not as harsh as a fantastic Exige I once owned and being far more exciting that the blandness of a 996 which I quickly grew bored of a couple of years ago.

I think this one might be a keeper... Managed to grab a couple of hastily taken photos a couple of months ago,

Rich

Looking good!

I'd take the numberplate box off, and get some clear rear lights fitted to just finish it off though smile

Wish I could see it - all I've got are the red crosses in a box and I'm too thick to fix it frown

Are you sure that's not the sangria kicking in affecting your eyesight smile

Welcome along mate. I may be a poor non Aston owning type, but I've seen a few.....

I think George is right, some clear lights at the back would look lovely.

Any cleaning/waxing/detailing questions you might have, let me know.
