Tony - saw your car in Rick's toilet yesterday - stunning vehicle but perhaps not at its best next to the cistern.

Quinny you've got yourself a veritable Green Goddess there. Enjoy...........

Good looking. The car's not bad either (sorry might be the Aston forum but its still Pistonheads)
What colour is that - not sure I;ve seen that before.
27MPG - can only assume you are giving the car a proper workout over the weekend
Bet you didn't get much slepp last nighr
Enjoy

was just going to ask the same (about the colour) nice

[gary.taylor17]

Nice one m8,youll be smiling for sometime.
After 18 month, wife often asks what im staring at for so long.
Answer(shear beauty).lol.

Nice
27 mpg is impressive!
Now you just need to lose the front number plate holder!

[Murph7355]

How the hell did you get 27mpg? Did your sister tow you half the way?

The best I have ever managed, briefly, was about 22mpg. I think.

For the first 10k miles it very rarely saw much above 16mpg!

I now have 21mpg avg at 54mph showing on my trip computer

[Murph7355]

PS Lovely.

And agree with the above - plinth takes 5mins to remove.

Hi - congrats on the purchase from someone who's picking his up next Thursday!

Is that the one from Sean Lockyear? If so you beat me to it by about an hour!

Love the colour combination...

Paul.

Quinny..you need a drive down to Hever Castle on the 26th June......there will be mine...Yeti's and yours....putting all the others to shame..!!!

Fair play on your new purchase. A v8 in green is a rare thing indeed.

If you need any tips on polishing it up, just let me know. I'm Kent bound this weekend to see another happy chappy with his new v8.

You're right Tuscaneer.... I'm chuffed to bits... and so it seems are other folk who see it...... Drove through the next village along earlier today, and got a great reaction from a group of folk on the pavement as I drove by....


Also took 2 of my Griff owning mates out for a short drive, and both absolutely loved it...

I've taken a few people who own nice cars out in mine who've said "but I thought these were meant to be slow"...

Have you sold the Griff?
