My new car... meet Ruby.

[Cookie]

Pretty colour

 

[JD]

Lovely, but the costs would scare me silly.

Know you deserve it from limited knowledge of the last few years, so go out and enjoy the hell out of it!

 

[Laura]

thanks JD

averaged 21.4mpg over a 250ish mile trip this weekend, a little ballooning and mostly motorway cruising, pretty impressed with that seeing as most 200 clios don't get any better lol

 

[JD]

Would love to see the colour in the flesh. I'll drop you a Facebook message when I'm up north.

 

[Herr Flick]

Absolutely love the exterior but the interior looks like a doled up ford fiesta mk5.

really does look very bland, expected a bit more from it tbh. Obviously I wouldn't care but I am suprised.

 

[Laura]

Are you actually joking lol!!?

Its the most beautiful interior I've ever seen.

billet dials and control knobs, full leather dash and contrast stitching.
my god it's a work of art

 

[Daniel]

I love it so much.

I'd be scared of owning it though. I had to sell a £2000 clio because I wouldn't leave it in a carpark or outside the house etc. A £45k Aston Martin would give me a heart attack!! lol.

Maybe it's just that picture then, the steering wheel just looks boring and bulky and the gear stick looks a bit boring (I know this may sound weird but it does)

whats up with the foot rest? Looks like it is in the way of the clutch lol

Actually PMSL!! Haha...

On a serious note Laura, VERY nice!!! And on another note, I'm 28, 5'9", brown hair, blue eyes and love outdoor activities! Can I be your toy boy!!!??!! Haha

 

[Laura]

Arnt toy boys younger? Lol

 

[Herr Flick]

FLOL

Does it have cruise control btw?

 

[shandyruss]

If it helps... I used to own a Mk1 Golf... Lol....

 

[Al_G]

Lovely car Laura, you must be delighted!!!

I'm not sure Ruby is a suitable name though lol.

How about Jeff?

Beautiful car Laura ..... enjoy it , as they are a pleasure to drive , and don't get into the whole worrying about parking it thing , be sensible not paranoid .....

 

[Lal B3N]

Looks beyond stunning in them new shots!

 

[Dunc.]

Amazing car! Congrats.

The first pictures are pretty near where I live. Do you live round here?

If so i'll keep an eye out for your car!

 

[SC03OTT]

Awesome. I want a rev counter that goes anti-clockwise

 

[Tom]

Strangely I had a little dartford tunnel GP with one last night. Obviously the 328 was suitably dispatched.

THE NOISE!!!

I want one so so bad.

 

[larry]

Fantastic car! My Dad used to test the cars as they came off the production line (driven thousands...) and I had the chance to get out in a couple test cars he bought home. One was a DBS just before they were released in the same color as yours - Looked great in the flesh and covered miles so comfortably! Just funny how quickly and easily it accelerated from 80mph to silly speeds...

And there is no way on earth the interior can be compared to a Fiesta.. Just no!

Thankfully, you're wrong.

 

[Gally]

It's so epic. I love it. As per my previous thread, beautiful dateless car.

 

[Laura]

FLOL

Does it have cruise control btw?

Yeah it does, i used it for about 5 mins and then realised i wanted to drive lol

Lovely car Laura, you must be delighted!!!

I'm not sure Ruby is a suitable name though lol.

How about Jeff?

its a girl... lol

the noise is honestly epic!

had some lad come and collect my bbs wheels yesterday, he was lost for words lol, he was like do you mind if i take a picture hehe.

 

[DB.]

The thread on his forum will read 'New wheels and amazing girl with an Aston Martin' with utter disbelief in how cool you are with a bunch of people from the forum declaring their love for you.

 

[Rob]

I can't believe you saw 20mpg. Awesome.

LOL at the lad buying the BBS, did you take him out for a spin?

How are you finding the speed of the thing??

 

[Chapppers11]

How are you finding the speed of the thing??

With the accelerator..

 

[Rob]

That'd be verging on funny if it made any sense.

 

[Laura]

20mpg was a distant memory on the way to work this morning haha!

nah i didnt take him out... id just washed it.. sod getting it dirty again, i did give it a cheeky rev though. god that thing sounds mega!

its fast! you dont really realise how fast because there isnt a kick of a turbo or anything but then you look down and go wow. I actually thought the speedo was broken becaust it said i was doing 80 but it felt like 60... so i got my other sat nav out as they had the speed reading on it... it was correct lol!!!

 

[Chapppers11]

That'd be verging on funny if it made any sense.

Moody.

 

[Laura]

ive also had about 10 random friend requests on facebook sinse putting the pics on there.. bit odd lol.

heated seats were nice this morning tho!

lol. Go and sit in one then come back to this thread.

Pictures do not describe the epicness.

 

[jkyb]

I bet the feeling when you first pulled off was indescribable!

It is now your duty to reply to problematic Clio topics with "You wouldn't have that problem with a v8."

 

[Laura]

it took a little while to sink in, i took it to see my dad as soon as id got it, didnt feel like mine.. didnt really sink in until i got half way down the motoway on the sat, then did a crazy little girly giggle with a massive grin on my face!

 

[Feirny]

Strangely enough, I passed your work yesterday then one overtook me on the M56.

 

[danzel]

Stunning car, jealous doesn't even cut it!

 

[Laura]

there is 2 i know of around here ish,

a grey one and a black one.
im sure there are a few more knocking around in wilmslow/ alderly edge

It was Grey, literally just as I entered the motorway.

 

[Daniel]

There's a very cheap yellow one on an auction site I use, still about 300% more than I can afford! Lol.

They're obviously getting common....

 

[Laura]

lol.

feeling a little bit of negative enegry at work thats for sure

 

[Rob]

I'm hardly surprised that the 25 year old turning up in an aston hasn't gone down too well at work.... Got to be the best staff motor there hasn't it?

 

[Laura]

yeah it is but insted of being happy for me people are bitching behind my back, not very nice.
