I am big on wagons as well.

I guy in our local AMOC has one and is looking to trade it towards a Vantage manual.

 

nice car ...it is a AMG after all so it’s faultless.

that said the only time I would be seen in one is on the way to my funeral .... to each his own ....

 

I have had 2 Mercedes e-class wagons. Great cars, was able to put over 200k miles on both before moving on. They are practical, luxurious, and ride like a sedan. Always wanted the AMG version and still might get one someday. But for now the Aston still brings me joy. Congrats on a nice purchase. But if I were you, I would trade a couple of your other cars for a DBS.

 

Or you could have bought this instead....Aston Bertone Wagon

That Bertone wagon is beautiful. I have always had station wagons - from Volvo 740 turbo with intercooler (manual); Volvo 960 wagons (500K miles before daughter totals it - by far favorite wagon), MB 300 (Drove great every 2 tanks a gas before some else would break - spent more time in the shop than in my drive way - and it always leaked oil), Volvo V70 AWD to my last wagon, a Cadillac CTS AWD Sport Wagon. (I really liked the Cadillac Wagon - it was the best car in the snow I ever had). That Aston Wagon would be something that I would love having.

 

I love wagons... have had BMW 5 series, C and E class wagons and last year traded in my Volvo V60 RDesign...

I actually looked at Gene's wagon a few years ago before he traded it... it was gorgeous, and well kept, like all of Gene's collection of cars... he updated trim, power, e.t.c... struggled and had to pass because my wife wanted an SUV and I already had my Aston for fun... one day, may trade our Aston and AMG SUV in on wagon... one day...

 

I like wagons and have considered getting a new RS6 but I have a 4runner already for hauling stuff or long trips and it can actually go off road

I wouldn't mind having a different fun car but what do I get for the value of my aston? Probably nothing that comes even close

Just like brightoncorgi I do enjoy online window shopping

 

Well, no worries, everyone. At least one owner later, and she's got a new home and is being well taken care of. :-)


Catching some sun...

 

Great to see her again. Looking good Ash, glad that you are enjoying the Aston. As you all know I missed the Aston and had to get another one.

 

DB11 or DBS?

 

I currently have the green V8Vantage and love it. I had a DB11 and I didn’t like it. The new generation of Aston have lost all that is special about the previous generation.

 

Enjoying is an understatement. Went on a drive with 19 others in varying other sports cars on some local windy roads on Sunday. An owner of a 2018 BMW M3 Competition came over and couldn't believe that the Aston had the stock exhaust.

He said, "I've spent thousands of dollars trying to get mine to sound half that good."

I normally keep F22 plugged in for driving around locally, but I'd pulled it that morning in anticipation of the drive in the country. First time I've had it out, to be honest, and the difference was amazing.

Just great fun all around.
