for an assortment of hats that match the car, watch a couple of episodes of "Peaky Blinders". the 'Hanna Hat Company" makes some authentic and expensive ones that are imported from ireland where not only the milliiner but even the sheep must kiss the blarney stone.

As an also relatively new to the ownership club drive let me say congratulations and I know exactly how you feel! Don't worry, apparently that sense of "I can't believe this is mine'' lasts! The Virage is such an underrated car, I think its beautiful and will be regarded as such far more going foward in light of the newer, and perhaps controversial departures, from that era of Aston design.

It has been a few days and I still look wonderingly at her every morning

And we agree - the Gaydon era cars are gorgeous! Plus that V12... They don't make em like that anymore, and with emissions standards tightening all over the globe, they can't. Cars like this simply aren't getting made anymore - like ever. I'm so delighted I got one.

So.... Anyone else drives theirs kinda daily? Like to go get coffee? My poor S-class (supposedly primary car) is feeling abandoned.

Congratulations! You picked a beautiful ride for your first! I was in the same boat back in September when I finally bought after wanting one since childhood. As someone else said, really enjoy the "That's actually mine" feeling most of us had when we bought our first. It's been 8 months and I still get a smile on my face every time I walk in the garage.

Thank you! it doesn't go away then? because it's easy to forget that it's not just some lucky stranger's car.

What did you get? do you drive yours regularly?

Just got her back from the detailer... look how pretty she is! took my breath away when I dropped in to pick her up. I'm in awe. I would be so happy to just see one on the street... to actually get into it and drive it away blew my mind this morning.
