New here!

Hi all, I'm Jeff, I live in the Milwaukee, WI area and will be picking up a 2007 V8 Vantage in 3 days. I'm new to the Aston Martin game but have several other amusing cars that it will be joining in my garage. For fun cars I also have a 1988.5 Ferrari 328 GTS, a 1967 Pontiac GTO, and a 2007 BMW 335i coupe that I use pretty much only for HPDE events and track days.


I'll post some photos of the V8V after I get it. It's painted Rolls Royce Black Sapphire and has a Red Fox interior with Caspian Blue carpets and an Ivory headliner. It's lowered and has newer split-5-spoke 19" wheels, black calipers, and a Quicksilver SuperSport Plus exhaust with hi-flow cats. It has under 12,000 miles.


Can't wait to get it!


Jeff

Oh good a fellow 2007 owner, is it a stick? The color combination sounds very interesting please post some pictures. Did you buy from an Aston Martin dealer?

I had a red fox/black interior (more like chestnut brown) on my 07... Nice. Welcome to the "club".

Thanks everybody! My car has a manual transmission. I am purchasing it from an authorized Aston Martin dealer. I would call the Red Fox interior "pumpkin".


I imagine it won't be long before I'm asking Stuart about a shiny new HD clutch and LW flywheel There's nothing wrong with what I have now but that setup is sooo pretty and money is made to be spent.


Should be getting the car in 2 days!

I know! I've been working the deal for two weeks, lots of restless nights and now it's so close!

Thank you all for making me feel welcome.
