She arrived!

Here she is in all her (just off the truck) glory... got her this morning. Still need a good detailing, but that does not change the happy chill going down my spine when I start... err... engage the emotional control unit.

My first Aston. A childhood dream, fulfilled.

Oh, and... hey y'all!

2012 Virage Volante.

I really do love this model, even as I understand that Aston buyers didn't when it was manufactured.

Oh goodness, yes. It is so beautiful... I keep looking at her in the driveway wondering if I could ever have a car like that...

Thank you!

Right?

I'm still wondering if it was a fit of momentary insanity that made me get her, and if so, will I ever be sane again? I hope not

Huh. You are the second person who has said as much to me in the last couple of days... do y'all not like these rims? I know they are the stock ones that came with the car, but I think they are beautiful.

And thank you!

I like them! A buddy of mine had the identical car as yours and had a fire in his garage.

I took the wheels off the car but need to have them refinished..
Just forgot that I have them till I saw your picture.

Ah! well, in that case, I am glad to be of service LOL

Funny thing is - my friend (the other person I mentioned) has had these in storage for 9 years. Practically new. Took them off his 2021 VV and replaced them a month after he bought it... heard I got the same car, now he's sending them to me. I intend to put his on my car and then I can take the ones on it at present and refinish them, then decide what to do with them - keep them as spares, or see if anyone needs a set.
