The Great Canadian Aston Thread
Here's an invitation for all fellow Canadian Aston owners to post pics and stories! Even if you've posted recently, why not share some more? I'll start with my new V12 Vantage, picked up this past March:

Slate blue/baltic blue, with HRE P43S (kind thanks to Jaymoney for inspiration and advice on the wheels!)

Looks nice. Did you change your shifter? I thought all V12Vs came with the alloy "power ranger leg" shifter.

Thank you both. @Karl: I requested an alcantara shift **** at the time of ordering, as I don't like the alloy ****. I believe it was Jeremy Clarkson who referred to it (in the DBS) as "bigfoot's dick" LOL...

Hmm, don't remember that one. Regardless, I love the beefy alloy shift ****. The dimensions, the contours, it fits my hand perfectly and looks great too.

Superb. I don't always love blue interiors, but that looks great, especially with the blue headliner. It looks like you don't have NAV -- looks great without the cutout in the piano wood.

CPB will become famous soon enough
I like your gear shift. Looks great. The big chunky "BFD" shifter works for me too.

Oh man, I really hope this BFD moniker doesn't stick. It could ruin it for me! Clarkson said it looks like a Power Ranger's leg, not part of Bigfoot's anatomy. Not sure where this new term has come from.

Talk about getting it all wrong...

Clarkson said, "a power ranger's leg". Hope you don't play the message relay game...

From Spinecho's meth-addled imagination...

Three of mine I took in the first week of ownership. I've since been inspired by some of the amazing shots I've seen by Gekko, KarlFranz and others ... hoping to take some more unusual ones myself sometime this summer now that I've got a decent camera and some fast, fixed focal length lenses to play with.

PS ... This post is officially a BFD-free zone
