Looks fantastic I wondered why you had been so quite, when do you pick her (or is it a he) up?.
Definitely a she and having her delivered. Logistics are a problem as this car is coming from oop north and I am in Kent. I am also chucking my long suffering husbands Harley into the equation so both my Roadster ( which I will miss so much) and the bike have to be collected.Looks fantastic I wondered why you had been so quite, when do you pick her (or is it a he) up?.
Think it will be worth it

Great choice of colour and and car 
I'm sure you are the first lady V12V pistonhead 
Glad you finally (well, not so long
) found the car of your dreams.
Enjoy the beast and be careful, the temperature sensor is reading higher than in actually is. The Pirelli Corsas are a bit tricky in the cold.
Now go and update the Registry (Wiki)

Nice one, congratulations!!!!!!!!! 
Tell us the detailed spec,age etc... (yeah I know most things are standard but there are a few options to tick, such as interior colour, dash trim, seats, hifi, door sills etc...). I think I can see std seats in the picture but I could be wrong - were you not a fan of the lightweight bucket seats??

This is a brand new car. Every option including B&O sound system. No buckets unfortunately, but the "sports seats" are fine for me being a daily driver. Nothing else to put on it other than Armourfend which I have specced. The interior is exactly what I want so all in all its perfect.Tell us the detailed spec,age etc...

Would be good to meet sometime, if only to find out what the deal was on a new one (next SE meet?), must have been special to make you buy new. What colour is the interior?
Wow = but I guess it was coming. There are so few around that if you want specific options then ultimately it is about choosing your own car. Despite discussions around other colours recently and a lot of soul searching on my part when choosing a colour the only alternative choice that keeps coming back to challenge my decision is Lightning Silver (even though I was adamant that I wouldn't choose silver). The colour really works and it is a great choice. The only area we differ (the B&O system really is good) is with the bucket seats which I think are essential. However that is why you have ended up choosing a precise spec and a new car - it is what is right for you. Congratulations on a magnificent beast and ignore those that are over concerned about driving this time of year. I picked up mine last November and enjoyed driving it from day 1 as I am sure you will. Well done Grant for the assist.
Beautiful! Those vents will grow on you such they become an essential part of the beast. The car makes me laugh out loud every day I drive it - it is fantastic! You have 10 days -- get the small front number plate (3/4 size) ordered now, so you drive away with it fixed onto the bodywork. Fancyplates.com
Ok just to clarify.
I didn't order the car and spec it. If I had it would have had bucket seats and probably not the sound system. But.... This was an Aston specced car offered at a price a) which I couldn't refuse. And b) was exactly what I would have specced other than the seats. A compromise I chose to accept and really have no regrets. The Sports seats for a daily drive are perfect for me.
Trust me, I am more fussy than a very fussy thing, its perfect and MINE..

When I ordered mine it was theorectically specced and about to hit the production line ( I got it about 3 to 4 weeks from order) and they allowed me to change the spec AND make some saving. Not trying to get one up (you may have got such a good price that they may not change or the production process may have started) but just suggesting that that they might change the spec if pushed hard enough.I didn't order the car and spec it.
