I went for China Gray also. Kept the rest pretty blacked out. I did get the Madagascar orange brake pads so, yes, a bit of color. I'm swapping my 7th 911 w/ manual transmission for this. Is my first Aston so I'm excited/ nervous. I know the 911 like the back of my hand. I'm giving up a lot of familiarity. I'm going to drive it from LA back to Santa Barbara tomorrow afternoon. I'm a fast learner and am familiar with the dogleg layout. I expect I will get used to it fast. I figure change is good.
Great car! I just drove it home from L.A. to S.B. The dogleg was not much of an issue for me. The car is a beast...in a very good way. I'd say it has a lot of character and I can imagine it will be a handful in the wet. I have #1 of 200..... When I placed the order I had no idea I was going to be the first! I'll write more after a few days of driving.... but in the meantime, I'd give this car a big thumbs up!!!!
Build is finally complete on my new Vantage AMR. Happy and sad, as I have to sell my 2009 DBS manual (if any interest, drop me a line). But it was time to move on. SUPER excited to get behind the wheel and see how the manual feels in it. Still have a little over a month to wait for it to arrive out here in CA, but one big step closer!
Big congrats!!
The Vantage must handle miles better than the DBS. PM me info and price on DBS, I may know someone interested.
