The Vantage V12 is awesome! A much better drive than the Aston Martin DBS. A very pleasant weekend indeed.

Cheers,

Beautiful looking car, though I personally prefer the looks of the DBS!

Looks magnificent (biased), although I love the look of the DBS also.
Pic looks like Whatley Manor? A lovely spot. Spent a few days there as part of a week tour through the Cotswolds in my Chimaera a few summers ago. Wonderful memories.

Is that Quantum by chance?
Simply AWESOME, but I may be a tad biased as well wink

So are you lucky enough to have both DBS & VV12?

Yep, it's Quantum.

I wish I owned this car, but I must confess that i am just a member of a Super Car Club (Dream Car Hire). DCH have only really just started up the Super Car Club function but they're great! They offer great cars, great mileage, at a great price. So far I've driven their Ferrari 599 - had it for 5 days. That was awesome! Previously I was a member (3 years) of ecurie25.

All good fun!!!

Cheers,

J

If you've not tried it, I can defo recomend The Dining Room @ Whatley. Had a fantastic dinner their.

Quote from Whatley mail-shot:

On the 28th October and the 4th November at 8.30pm watch Head Chef Martin Burge and two young MasterChefs preparing dinner during a busy service for our guests in our Michelin two-starred restaurant ‘The Dining Room’.

Are you sure its quantum?? Looks more like meteroite to me (which mine is also) and the DCH website seems to indicate that its meteroite!

Mind you Quantum and Meteroite are very similar!

Stayed before and really enjoyed The Dining Room, so have reservations for two nights out of the four!

It was just time for a change. I had a great time with ecurie25. Stunning fleet of cars with lots of Events and free parties. I suppose ecurie25 offer more of a lifestyle!

With DCH, i just love the fact that I get great cars, free delivery, lots of mileage and at a great rate. I suppose it just depends what you want.

Cheers,

J

"Top End" cars like Ferrari 599's delivered for less than £500 per day with a couple of hundred miles. Usually a 599 would cost about £1.5K per day to hire.
