thanks Guys, expect it to not be as planted as my CS and maybe not as quick, but looks and sound are out of this world!

Congradulation! That AM look fab in grey!
I test drove a 4.7l last year and was stunned by that exhaust noise when it hits the redline! The power delivery is very similar to a Porsche---need plenty of commitment to go very fast!
Hope we will meet up again to do a tunnel run!!!

Beautiful. Congratulations!

Very nice Steve. Both cars are pretty much even-stevens in a straight line. Tagged a couple up the A34 bypass

You'll have to come out on the next meet.

Last september I did an 'Aston Martin Experience' day at the Prodrive track in Warwickshire. What a wonderful day.....glorious sunshine and a perfect drive from Oxford to the track in my Cayman and then a few laps in a beautiful almost new black Aston Martin Vantage V8 with ceramic brakes. Then after a hair-raising lap in a works Impreza with a works driver it was another thrash back to Oxford in the Cayman. Perfect day!!

Good luck with the Aston!

Congrats we'll have to take it for a spin when I cover over to the UK (see separate topic on that) I also think those seats look very very similar to what the new Panamera has in it.

more than welcome to have a spin Ken, but you will have to come a bit further up North!

whats the pricing like on these over there? $$$

Thats a lovely car - funny I allways think an AM-V8 would be my next car if I don't buy another property first...

You will no doubt have fun, and I am deffo jealous.

I just recall hearing Clarkson go round that Spanish track in his video with the AMV8 Roadster - the exhaust note was amazing...
