Digsy Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Well, hate to disappoint all you Lambo lovers, but I went to look at an AMV8 last night and it was absolutely stunning. Completely fell in love with it so i've put my deposit down. Dead excited now!!! What a fine choice! I'm very envious of your funds! Now what mods are you going to do to it???? Quote
vestitas Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 Well i've gone for the Onyx Black with the bright chrome grill etc so it's gotta be 22" Chromes first off !!! Quote
Digsy Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Can't wait for the pics! Oh and what's the wait? Quote
Jacko Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I feel very sick with emotion (jealousy)..... its not fair! But good work fella Quote
vestitas Posted July 28, 2006 Author Posted July 28, 2006 Can't wait now !!! All being well I should be able to pick it up tomorrow !!!!!!!!!! Quote
Darren_Z Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Can't wait now !!! All being well I should be able to pick it up tomorrow !!!!!!!!!! Nice one, good luck with the car and post up some pic's and videos if you can Quote
Jacko Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Can't wait now !!! All being well I should be able to pick it up tomorrow !!!!!!!!!! Are you Paintshielding it btw, or carrying out an investigation into the quality of Aston paint? Quote
vestitas Posted July 28, 2006 Author Posted July 28, 2006 I most certainly will. In fact I read in the paper last week about a guy that was so pi**ed off with the quality of the paint on his aston that he's written "I wish i'd bought a Porsche" down the side. .....hardly instils me with great confidence...!!!

I have to say though Joe, I've been to London and back in the last 2 days and between DB9s and V8s (you can't deny they look similar and they are difficult to discern on the motorway ) and must have seen AT LEAST 10 Astons. zero gallardos Quote
Sarnie Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Lambo all day long for me But, the ability to chose between the two would also be nice Quote
vestitas Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 Well, I picked the Aston up on Saturday and am absolutely over the moon with it. They actually had a Gallardo in which they let me nip out in and i've definitely made the right choice. The Aston is sooooo much better looking and in my opinion a much much nicer drive (really didn't like the driving position in the Lambo). It's really quick (admittedly not as quick as the Sagaris but it feels it) and handles beautifully but it just looks stunning!!! I've not stopped smiling all weekend. Will try get out later and get some piccies. Joe Quote

vestitas Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 Absolutely I will!!! Took her through the centre of Manchester for a pose just after I picked her up then cruised over to Lytham St Annes yesterday for a drive along the sea front. Really is beautiful to drive. As people kept looking at the car I said to the missus that I bet they thought I was a footballer or something and she says "well they'll only have to look at you to see you're not". Cheeky!!!! Joe Quote

Joe LOL.... So you get it from somewhere near Manchester then? Where is the Aston garage nearby? I might go and lick the windows one day, be nearest I get to one..... Quote
M13KYF Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 There is a aston garage in wilmslow. Think that is the main dealer. Pleased for you Joe. So the the wife is now a footballers wife. Watch out for the paps. Quote
Digsy Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Nice one, Joe! Can't wait for the pics. You'll have to let us know next time you're over this side of the Pennines and we'll have a mini-meet just to check out your motor. Enjoy! Quote
Baptist Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Superb motor either way, well done. What is the crack with TVR now?? are they going tits up??? and are they still doing warranty work? I heard they were moving abroad. Quote
vestitas Posted August 1, 2006 Author Posted August 1, 2006 TVR are staying in the UK. They made an announcement a few months back saying that they have agreed with Blackpool council planning for a new purpose built site with a higher production capacity. The TVR was a cracking motor - sooooo quick - but really would not have been manageable over winter. It was either get rid now whilst the weather is good or buy a second motor for the winter. Opted to get rid now - would definitely have one again though. Yes, they are still doing warranty work. My rear windscreen imploded at Sainsburys about a month ago and they fixed at all under warranty. Going to get some piccies today so will post them up later. Joe Quote
M13KYF Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 TVR have confirmed yesterday that they are having a new site next to Blackpool airport. Council permission granted. 18 months before state of the art project is completed. Quote
