saw a real nice looking Virage parked outside the tyre place just by the town bridge in St Neots this afternoon.
i know a bloke just up the road at the top of Mill hill who has a new black V8 Vantage and another fella by the Eaton Oak who has the old '90's Vantage so are you another new Aston owner in town?

he's getting on fine with it ! cheers for asking!
still getting used to all the attention the car generates. he previously drove a BMW 525i so he isn't used to people just staring at the car!
i went out for a spin in it the other day. the car is great! the performance is a bit blunt and even with the works suspension kit it rolls quite bit when you chuck it into a corner unprovoked, but it rides wonderfully and the engine note is fantastic! those sports boxes are properly loud they spit and pop like a good'un!
if i get the opportunity to get a few pics of it when i'm next over his place i'll try and post some up!
cheers! FMC.

Nice, i'm not suprised he's getting alot of attention. The 3.2 DB7 is of course in the eyes of many (including myself)just THE most beautiful car on the road, the DB7 Vantage is also stunning, but, its kinda hard to describe but i think the 3.2 has a "smoother" unspoilt look to it.

yeah, i know what you mean!
the earlier DB7's are gorgeous. my uncles one has got the mesh grille and the large multi spoke wheels. looks absolutely stunning!
there is a bloke round where he lives who has got a DB7 Vantage Volante would be great to park the 2 side by side and see which one is the better looking!
just noticed recently that there is someone who parks a plum red '96 DB7 up the road from me. seen it a few times now and the colour is certainly "different" to say the least!

Yeah im not too sure if red suits a DB7 very well, I love it in silver or dark blue/green colours though, I love the wheels on these two DB7's, they look great IMO

hmmm... still not sure about the red
the silver one from Canada is nice though, my uncles car is a bit like that. (solent silver)
i particularly like Braemar blue myself that is the colour i would pick if i was going to have a DB7/9. brings out the shape of the car perfectly!
