Bloody gorgeous, I think the new Aston Martins are the best looking cars on the road today. The F430 doesn't even come close to this and the 911 hasn't changed in 40 years.

I completely concur, But then again I guess I'm a born again Aston-ophile.

I ran across an owner in a a DB9 Spyder in San Francisco and he was certainly enjoying the Aston experience. There is something about their understated design that is really appealing yet aggressive.

[Boxer]

I agree. The DB9 is a huge improvement on the DB7.

OK - Forget the Boxer, I want a VANQUISH....These cars are superb...

Ironically I just found a 365 BB which looks like it might be a good buy.

Boxer - Did you ever get your copy of the book?

I have a Vanquish in my sights, I'll let you know what happens..

[Boxer]

Argento, I have one of the 512 numbered copies on order. Traveling right now but it should be there when I get home. Cheers, Boxer

Will the Vanquish be Aston #2 ?

Argento

Did you get the Vanquish. I saw one recently and am now giving it serious consideration. Stunning cars.

Is the Vanquish S worth the premium over the base Vanquish ?

[Argento]

Boxer,

This all seems such a long time ago - I've now had my Vanquish S nearly 2 years and have not regretted a second of it...

In fact, as it ages, it gets better & better

I am starting to become very tempted by a Vanquish. They are stunnignly beautiful. My only reservation is all the horror stories on the gearbox and clutches needing replacement every 10 miles at GBP 5k. What is the real story ?

[Argento]

complete rubbish... I know Vanquish owners who have done over 40,000 miles on the original clutch and still only have 18% wear !!!

Current record id over 75,000 miles on one clutch...

Argento

[Boxer]

Great to hear. Thanks. Numbers look much better than the 360 F1
