Congrats beautiful car and love your watch too!

The car is better off without a cover when it comes to dust, he was 100% right!

Thanks again guys!

I love the Bond-Christmas video...totally how I feel about the car!

My wife and I took the AM out for a good drive last night with the top down and it is just amazing. Really it is everything I expected and more.

N91K - thanks for the compliment on the watch. Always nice to meet another watch enthusiast! It was the first "luxury" item I bought and I still love it as much as the day I got it. I routinely use that ongoing feeling as a justification for buying increasingly frivolous things that make me feel the same way.

Next step - wash, photos, and then READ THE MANUAL. haha

On a separate note, does anyone here have a roadster and know how to open the trunk/boot from inside the vehicle? I looked at the manual but it looks like the convertible top button is where the trunk/boot release button is supposed to be. I can't find another one for the life of me.

And Speaking of Watches, here's one you should consider as a perfect compliment to your new Aston.

That's a great watch. I actually looked into getting that one at the time instead of the one I got, but my wife (GF at the time) convinced me that the two tone looked better on me. Happy wife, happy life..haha

Maybe this one will be in my future though.. or perhaps the JLC if they could make it start the car instead of just unlock the doors (although that would be significantly down the line)!

Congratulations! It's beautiful. Guess what?! That feeling you have right now, never goes away.

There is no way to open the trunk from inside my roadster, I only have a button on my remote. And when door locks are closed, the button on the trunk won't work either.

I've ran into this issue when my wife tried to open the trunk as I picked up, the button on the trunk would not work, so she asked me to pop the trunk quickly, and I couldn't figure out how, hahaha.
In panic I turned off the car and used the remote.

Thanks UX! I thought I was going blind/crazy since I thought there must be someway to open the trunk from inside. I'm glad you confirmed or I might STILL be looking.

Guess its just one of those "eccentricities" that makes AMs special!
