Talking New to the Aston Martin ownership club
Been waiting for this day since I was in college. YAY!

Took delivery of a beautiful 07 v8v today. Traded in my other dream car since college for it (Lotus Exige).

I have already been buying & planning mods for the car, so over the fall and winter I will be slowly adding to this thread... looking forward to the awesome journey.

And can I say... today felt like a dream. I still cant believe I am the owner of an aston martin!

Let there be pics!

Thanks everyone! I have a strange love for british cars. Would probably pick the british equivalent over most of its italian, german, or american counterparts.

Great color combination... love it. Welcome to the AM fold. You should join the Aston Martin Owners Club and come out for the annual drive event in June at Lime Rock.

Nice Vantage, and good choice on the gear box. I am a Lotus owner as well. I had a 2005 Elise that I ordered new and gave to my daughter last year. I also have a 2011 Evora 2+0 that I also ordered new. The Evora is a keeper. I have also dreamed of owning an Aston Martin for a long time. I bought my 2007 Vantage used in August of this year. You will love it every time you walk into your garage. Great color!
Ron

And Ron, thank you! I believe your daughter is Toni? I saw her posts on the lotus facebook group. Your car is beautiful as well, I love the color combo on yours.

Yes she is, and thanks for your comments about the color, It was not what I was originally thinking for the color of my Vantage. I was looking at Tungsten Gray or silver. but this car came along and I am glad I chose it.
