Congrats Mike. I thought you told us you were married in the Worlds Sexiest Woman thread:)

Haha, no she's just my girlfriend. Won't be for too long though

You'd better hope she doesn't read that.

She might take the wrong message from it .

That could end up bad, what if you have to marry her now?

See? Eunice has already taken the wrong message from it.

Or did I?

Mike's massage is very political for the situation though very clever:) Everybody gets a different message from it:)

Re: I'm going to spoil myself this weekend

color;

black with saddle/black interior

or

metallic navy blue with black interior

My only question about this car is what is the F-R weight balance. Is it front heavy with that engine and understeering.

Other than that I would say you made a great choice Smiley

I'm glad you included the word "car" in that text.

The rest of us had moved on to discussing Mike's girlfriend, so it could have got pretty confusing. Smiley

Re: I'm going to spoil myself this weekend

Congratulations Mike, I saw the video of the V12 Vantage on rennteam a few days ago. Decided that it has to be the best looking, sounding and most desirable car on the market today.

Please post pics ASAP. Smiley

Congrats on the AM V12 Vantage Mike! Great choice.

About the other subject, I read it to mean that an engagement is forthcoming not a split :) Hope I picked right ;)

New Aston Vantage V12!

Bingo! Placing deposit, delivery will be October! I haven't decided on colours yet. Any opinions? I was thinking frost white with red/black interior?

Cool! Great choice. Surprisingly, the delivery is not very long. IMHO, The red interior look stunning! Smiley

Alex: I try my best, I hope it will not disappoint!

Chris Lo: I wasn't suprised to be honest, you can get a Lambo or Ferrari almost immediately at most dealers at present.

PS. where is Rossi now days?! Smiley

Hi Alex. Firstly, the DBS is rather hard to park - I test drove one again this weekend and although it is a very nice car, the car is rather difficult to park IMO. I want to use this car almost as a daily. Secondly, the V12 Vantage is limited production - although I'm sure the DBS production numbers aren't that vast. It's the idea of it being limited that brought me over. Plus according to AM in my country, we will only be getting around 6-10 units in total.

Lastly, the fun factor - can you imagine the powerplant of the DBS in such a tiny little car? Smiley Smiley

PS. It's official, I'm getting the first one in the country Smiley

That's the first time I think I have ever heard of 'parking ability' influencing which supercar someone buys!! Great outlook Mike!!

For me Aston Martin's are all about looks. I find the DBS so much better looking than the Vantage so I wouldn't care about other things. As we all know, beauty is all in the eye of the beholder though.

Hi Alex, I love the DB9 series shape, but it's starting to look dated for me. The Vantage still has a fresh new look and appeal to it.
