Smile New to the AM world. Picking up my 07 next week

Hi everyone,

In a couple of days I will be in possession of a 2007 Aston martin V8 Vantage. Best part about this for me is its a manual! Im a bit of a gearhead so I look forward to doing some upgrading and will probably be asking lots of questions.

Here she is!



I live in the Seattle area and would love to meet other older Aston owners that are the DIY types.
Cheers!

Congrats. I recently acquired my 06 V8V and it’s a lot of fun. I am sure you will enjoy it. Love the color.

Congrats from a fellow 07 Toro Red Coupe owner. I've had mine for about a year, and prices have been increasing pretty rapidly since then. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I'm enjoying mine. I put a set of black powdercoated 7-spokes on mine rather than the stock silver ones, but I don't have any other mods planned.

I'll be visiting in Gig Harbor later this year (sans DB9). My brother has spotted a couple of AMs in the area. Welcome to AM and enjoy!!

The color looks great! Congrats. We have an active Aston group here in the Seattle area. Mostly through Facebook. Hope to see you sometime soon.

It actually hasn't been properly washed in months. The front end is only shiny because I just spent $2.5K having some very old PPF removed and the shop did a front end paint correction afterward
