The New Ride Finally Arrives…
Sunday, October 29th, 2006Alright my new Aston Martin V8 Vantage has finally made it from the factory in England. It’s taken 6 months but I think it’s worth it. It took so long that when I was at the Aston factory for the track day – I tried showing guys my color scheme and I wasn’t 100% sure I showed them the right ones.
Check out the beaut.
I might have to name her. My first car when I was 16 was “Carol the Corolla”, then I had “Nat the Nissan” (a 240 SX) and then “Izzy the Integra” (Acura GSR) – but no names after that. My S2000 and SL55 AMG (which is actually up for auction right now) never got names for some reason. If you’ve got a good name – leave a comment.
Anyway check some of the pics…
The V8 is awesome and I’m enjoying driving stick shift again. This car sticks to corners like glue - definitely a true sportscar! But my favorite part of the entire car is right here:
You might need to look close it says “Hand Built in England for Secret Agent Yanik Silver”. These are on the door sills when you open the car doors. Okay I admit it, maybe I got a little carried away with the Underground seminar theme. I bet the factory thought I was a complete dork but a happy dork.
