Im intrested in where the wing vents feed air to and where the door vents draw air from.

I just love those rear light units,also like the small centre vent in the front bumper, the rear splitter aint too bad eather.

Are they all going to be that nice color or do they do a Bond wana be Grey? and other colors from the "Dark ages"

Would like to see one up against (or in front of) an SLR

Surprissed you could hold your phone so still for thee video,thanks for sharing.

I would assume the front vents are to cool either the engine and/or front brakes and the door ventsare to help extract the heat from the same places.

As you'll realise, I'm not a frequent YouTube user but on a standard laptop does HD make any difference? It seems to take ages to load so I guess the file is bigger? Anyway nice video (I think- not seen it all yet) wink

Ha no problem! On a "normal" laptop screen, the best quality that is worth selecting is 720p. That will match approximately you computer screen size. 1080p is the top option but takes a lot longer to load but would need a very high resolution screen to enjoy watching it on.

Again though 720p is a larger file size than the lower options so will take longer to load than the regular resolutions.

It actually arrived Friday afternoon, I stopped to dream and jokingly asked the salesmen if they wanted me to drive it in, they then told me that they could not get it started so four of them had to push it in!!!

Having made the post on Friday evening, I just noticed it says Saturday and was getting myself in a mega muddle trying to work that one out before I realised that it was posted just after midnight hence why it says Saturday.

Lucky you getting to see it moving in, what time did it arrive? A shame they couldn't start it up while you were there.

One of these drove slowly past my house a couple of weeks ago. I had to look twice as at first glance i thought it was a normal aston, until i had a proper look. It was a 59 plate in metalic brown and is pretty wide. I was like, oh my god when i realised what it was.

Saw my first rapide customers car (not factory test car) on friday. Its was parked outside the post office in my village. Have seen a black lhd factory rapide driving around a few times before that.

I live in a village 5 mins from the factory if anyone was wondering.

Just seen another 0ne 77 drive through my village. I was in the shop and heard this rumble, so i dashed out to see what it was and it was a dark blue/black car. It was dirty, so couldnt be sure of the colour.

These things are common now lol.

You are a very very lucky person! Seeing them out and about, I am very jealous.
