My new car... meet Ruby.

[Laura]

only car like this I've wanted since i was a kid, apart from a lambo but thats another step again

 

[Brett]

Love it Laura!! Class.

 

[Riad]

Awesome!

 

[Cub.]

Lovely choice, and I agree with you on the only live once part. I did it 2 years ago on a wide bodied C4S and the 18 months I had it were epic. Enjoy it!

Awesome upgrade. What a machine, would love to own one, and its almost an option for me until......

I asked the mrs if I could spend my redundancy money on a V8 Vantage and it was the shortest conversation in the history of our relationship. "NO". TBH I shouldn't have asked should have just bought it, it'd have taken her 2 days to notice I had a new car!

 

[dmallett]

So nice!

I will own one at some point in my life, possibly in 30 years when my mortgage is done.

see my logic was my mum died at 47, if i go off that there is a possibility i won't live beyond paying my mortgage off, so thats why I've done it now.

Make sense to me! There was some Aston Martin gathering at Alborough the other week , i was in total ore as about 15 of them came by whilst i sat in my van lol.

I dont have a good family health track record and with my life style I probably wont pay it off either. I just wouldn't have the balls to go down this route!

 

[Bluebeard]

I've got to admit, I keep coming back in here to check its not a wind up! lol

 

[mjogreen]

Lovely car!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Laura, I think it's a very nice colour, and if it's something you have always wanted, then fair play to you.

Who cares about how much.

 

[Kane.]

Great purchase

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

I'm lost for words, this is epic.

 

[Slammed172]

Fair play, love it !

 

[Topgeartom]

Absolutely stunning.

Superb work.

I'm in roughly the same financial/age position although obviously a fair few rungs lower! Do it while you can!!!!

I'm laughing at the prick on your facebook that drives a Yellow Skoda Octavia (His profile pic) and is questioning your choice of car!!

The cheek!

 

[Laura]

you didn't see the comment i deleted

 

[Bluebeard]

Anthony Cookson seems to have too much to say aswell.

Why can't people be happy for you??

Jealousy is a great way of weeding out the w*****s in your circle of 'acquaintances' on bookface and the like.

 

[Laura]

Ants ok, just one of those people.

wether its jealously i dunno, i guess people like to just put people down

 

[KielT]

Your awesome. End of.

 

[Nick_Leeds]

Hero.

It looks epic.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Don't like the colour but tbh just well done! Amazing car I'm sure and yes I'm very jealous but not bitter lol.

 

[Richyy182]

Wow - good work

Another 3 or 4 years and I'm getting a motor like this - don't tell the missus

 

[Gally]

Would you have gone R8 if they were down around the 40k Laura?

The Aston has miles more character, class and sound but I know you're a fan as a great all-rounder.

 

[Eliganza]

Amazing motor, I would be too scared to own a car like that I think.

 

[Herr Flick]

s**t colour
s**t spec
s**t car tbh.

how old are you? (Not interested in finances more so insurance and whether you look like you stole daddy car lol)

Nah the r8 isn't special to be. A great car but inside it feels the same as my a1 and well I see them all day everyday so it's just like work to me

 

[crazycup]

I can't believe some people are questioning the colour, it looks absolutely stunning and for me suits the car. Video and tissues required.

Personally, I love that colour and as said it suits the shape very well.

Could quite happily have one in that colour.

 

[jamier27]

Congrats on such a mature epic purchase and love your reasons behind it!

If i didnt piss allmy money away in ibiza and weekends all over when i was a young un an aston martin would have been such a better. choice!

How many colours was there on early vantages? I remember seeing lots of grey, green and a couple of champagne ones and yours which out of those is the best imo

 

[Laura]

you could have any colour you want, literally.

there was a fair few standard colours, 5 or 6 silver/greys, couple of greens, about 4 blues, 2 reds, black, yellow, and some pretty odd ones

 

[Ryanj]

My life sucks.
Well done though! I bet you feel f**king awsome driving about in that!

 

[Rob R26r]

exactly, i figured I'm in a position to now to do it, a position i may never be in again and i can look back and say... i had one of those! Yes at some point ill be sensible and grow up, but me and my dad have a great relationship, we have a decent house and the only room we share is the kitchen sooo yeah... Aston martin time haha. You only get one shot at this life malarky and i don't want to look back and say.. i wish i had

Exactly this !!!Better to do something and maybe regret it afterwards, than regret not ever doing it. Congrats and enjoy :approve:

 

[VeinAST]

Lovely Laura, epic car! Very jealous!! Enjoy it, drive it! MK1 to be the daily now then ?

 

[ben81]

I salute you! Bought with the heart, not the head, yolo etc etc. I love these, such a nice, car for the price of a tarted up sales rep mobile! Enjoy it! Do it for us that can't!!!

 

[chriscummins7]

f**k me!!

I'd love to be in the position where I could even consider a car like this.

However, I would then be thinking of other priorities... so as said - hats off to you!!

 

[Gally]

I do take it back, you can see as the sun hits it how awesome that colour is and quite unique when is comes to Vantage Coupes.

Even better choice now the colour has sunk in. What a shame you're so far away!

 

[Laura]

I go to sleep tonight the owner of an Aston Martin, not a bad feeling I must admit.
Thanks for all the kind comments, I've done it for me n no one else but it really is nice to read.

i had a really hard few years a while back n the last couple have been amazing, just makes you realise if you don't give up... Anything is possible.
