11 hours...

[Goon]

Going to get even less sleep tonight. Off to watch all the DVDs and old Top Gear episodes - just to make the wait even harder

Hope everyone else waiting for '07' is in the same boat!!

I'm in the same boat but not waiting for an 07 Aston. I'm collecting my VW Golf GTI Edition 30.

Well, getting this as my new daily driver to replace my Omega. And my DB7 Vantage makes an appearance a few times a week out on the road.

I'm waiting on a Golf R32 (Astons are a bit lairy on icy mountain passes in winter - I've had a few moments (cough), so decided I need an 'almost' sensible 4x4 car).

[GetCarter]

BTW - we want pics whan you get it Colin!

[Goon]

So, 12 hours and 200 miles in, and the Aston has not disappointed so far. I'm especially pleased that it fits n the garage - a worry that has contributed to the last couple of sleepless nights. I'm sure that I will post more thoughts over the coming few days.

Struggling to get a picture embedded at the moment. I need to get a site to host it on. Watch this space...

Absolutely beautiful, deffo best colour but then again I would say that....

Looks like the new stone guards weren't doing too great a job protecting those rear arches though?

Nope. Plenty of muck around the rear aches to clean off tomorrow morning - but I was hooning round some pretty dirty lanes. A few stone chips on the front already too. Still, the first ones are always the most painful.

And yes, it is Meteorite - best colour in my eyes too!

It's still beautiful, even with a bit of mud. I'm off to Amersham to collect my stoneguards!
