Wow! Definitely wasn't expecting to see a pics of an Aston when I clicked this thread.

Crazy numbers to be spending running a car. Hats off. Well Done :D

Lovely. I know you're not keen on them but the N400 skirts look great! The newer lights look great, but not on this colour.

Enjoy!

Congrats, lovely car!

I'm not going to lie, I'm incredibly jealous and only wish I could afford something like this!

But for now my R26 will have to do.

P.S. Did CS.net win the lotto while I've been gone? Every one's driving V8's!!!!

n400 skirts change the look of the car imo, less beautiful and sleek. not for me.

and newer lights? I'm pretty sure they are the same?

Nice to meet you today laura! The car looks stunning in person, it sounded even better!

you too mate :)
had to give it a bit when i was leaving lol

6 Cylinders isn't enough any more.

deffo not haha


well its back in at the dealers today, still getting a little water into the boot, not as bad as before but enough to make it steemy... annoying,

and this time i took one of thier cars haha, so im repping some merc thing today, no idea what it is, auto, boring rep wagon lol
 
  AMV8, Mk1 Golf
everything else is perfect, just this water issue and i cant work it out myself.

tbh its built better than my audi a1 was haha!!

Ive told them to keep it until its fixed and i dont want it back until its sorted properly :)
 
  AMV8, Mk1 Golf
HAHA yeah,

had an update, they found 2 small leaks in the boot, one on the right hand side where a grommet wasnt sealing properly, and a slightly bigger ingress on the other side.. that they cant locate now, they have also replaced the high level brake light again... due to the 3 LEDs remaining dimly lit.. ive just told him to go park it up outside and leave it.. replacing the unit again wont solve that one imo... haha

for anyone thats remotely interested, they are fitting a whole new boot seal, parts should be in tomorrow so i get the ghetto merc for another 2 days at least.

Oh how i love warrenty

im not upset about it in the slightest, 70% of people probably wouldnt have noticed but i noticed it steeming up a little so i went looking. I am one of those customers you would hate.

A rubber seal letting a little drop of water in isnt exactly an Aston Martin ruining experience, I want it the best it possibly can, its like new so im being stupidly fussy.

Have you done a break down of running costs? If so sorry for being lazy and if not whats is like?
 
  AMV8, Mk1 Golf
running costs, only thing i can really comment on so far is fuel ... alot. 12mpg

servicing is about £1000 a year
tax £475
tyres are massive, so expensive.. every thing is expensive, you could use it as a daily without uber deep pockets

Car looks lovely in red :approve:

my mate ended up using his gallardo as his daily as his aston was always in the garage :( i dont know why but i always assumed the lambo would have been the temperamental one out of the two, obvioususly not. Love the sound these things make!

Tbf, it's rubber seals just perishing a bit or whatever. It doesn't matter if you pay 1k for a car or 500,000k... Rubber can still perish.

Lovely :) Very jealous. I have looked at a couple recently and some 360's but has decided to go semi sensible and look at M3/M5. Hope you enjoy it!!!

its deffo not a hard subject to photograph, I want to try and do more with my photography this year, ive dropped the mag stuff, not sure what to do but ive been asked to do a few comissions so who knows.

Thanks, im not sure whe will be coming out to play in this weather much, the TC leaves alot of play before correcting you, which is a good think, but leaves you enough time to go... oooooo lol
