Annoyingly I can't get a day fixed to pick it up. Only day I could have been free I'm now away for.
The dealer is getting pissy as they want it collecting before the 1st, which is understandable. I've told them I'll get it on my next free day of the 30th.... I hope.
Right after years of thinking I'm mental it turns out I'm not.
It's only one of 3 road cars. If you google silver lister Storm it's that exact car.
I thought I saw it twice but always decided I was mental. Happy I'm not!
Apart from the stunning bit my 335d does all the others, carries 4 and does 45mpg. It's been a very very hard car to replace.
It's also the main reason I was looking at 500ish bhp stuff. On the road the 335d was far faster than the Aston. 500lb/ft has spoilt me I think!
The switch is an option even now. £400!
All S models have the active exhaust, mine only opens up on over 75% throttle, if I fit the switch I can have it open all the time.
The switch kits with remote switches from Astons fit too, so I'll go down that route as I don't want to take the centre...
No worries at all mate. Some of the guys on here will know how long its taken me to buy something due as you say to the choice on offer for 55k-65k. Last weekend I had holding deposits on:
This F-type
R8 V10
Vantage S
After extended test drives in all the F type was the only one that really...
After market. The new R's have the same exact engine, the only difference is the fact the early V8s' are torque limited. Basically you pay a dude with a laptop to turn the limit off if you feel the need for 50bhp.
0-60 = 4.2
0-100 = 7.9
50-70 as quick as an Aventador.
Top speed is limited to 186.
This version is the 488bhp/461lb/ft one. For a £500 re-map I can have the full 551bhp/503lb/ft. Not that it needs it all, it's rapid.
Yeah good job its switchable, the noise is OTT when the pipes are open.
This one doesn't have the switch to have the exhaust on all the time, I'll be fitting one for when the mood takes but I couldn't listen to it all the time. They make C63's AMG's sound normal.
It's not sunk in yet. Got a while to wait yet before I can have it as i'm going to China on Saturday.
Dealer photo's for you:

LOL
I only like the convertibles in red...
I'd love a coupe but not for summer.
I asked for these wheels as they are the new ones off the R models, luckily someone who ordered a new R couple wanted to swap wheels!
