    Mike, didn't I tell you that you should buy a new cellphone when you bought the last car? And the car before and before and before... Smiley

    The car looks absolutely spectacular in the flesh! I can't describe the feeling! They need to start PDI on Monday. For now it is center stage on their showroom floor!

    Re: My V12 Vantage is almost here

    I don't know if it is because the Vantage is smaller than the DBS, but I assume the exhaust system is shorter and less muffled. It is LOUD! Here is a short video so you can get an idea. It's much louder than the DBS.

    The interior is amaxing, the exterior is amazing, the carbon looks great on white. Mike you've overdone yourself with this one, this is certainly one of the best cars out there right now and definetely has more soul than almost any other car. Also this car is sure to be a desirable collectors item in the future since its very limited numbers.

    Congrats Mike

    I'm deeply impressed by the car

    Just like the red Aston's wheels more,though

    The white color of your Aston looks like Bianco fuji in the picture that shows back of the car.

    Thanks all. It will be a long weekend for sure The car's final turnout with the specs are beautiful! I am really glad I took the gamble, was hesitant about it at first.

    pride, you have good eyes - it is. It's Aston Martin's version called Morning Frost white.

    Jeez, this bianco fuji (or whatever it is called in Lambo, Aston, or Mercedes term) with red/bordeux interior is my dream combination for any car Smiley

    Morning Frost is very different to Bianco Fuji. Fuji uses a very cream white as it's base colour whilst Frost uses a much brighter white with a hint of blue in it. Audi have a metallic white which is much closer to Morning Frost.

    Ian,

    What is the name of that color in Audi terms??

    I saw LP560-4 in some kind of met. white and it looks so close to Bianco fuji.

    This S63 AMG I saw last spring in Marbella, Spain, was in this awesome white color, too.

    Unfortunately, I don't know name of this white, either
