I don't use high pressure normally either. I use to take care of an auto collection in the 90's while in college. Was taught to be gentle on the car like washing a horse.

 

More new pics, with some new gadgets from Chritsmas: New Aston Martin umbrella (I will post pics in the related topic) and a new clear high mounted stop light instead the red one!

 

i've learned the hard way to avoid headlights, taillights and the engine compartment with a powerwasher.

 

 

More pics. In the workshop for the yearly oil and filter change.

 

 

Wonderfully kept and still looks fantastic. This era Aston had a beautiful finish; I will have put 50K miles on my 2014 this week and the Quantum Silver remains very fresh.

 

You are right. This era Aston V8 Vantage is one of the best car designs ever!!!

 

It's odd to Americans to see so many in EU washing their cars beyond their own home.

 

Hey, silly question perhaps, but WHAT is the small button next to the console (near seat) that has a lightening-looking zigzag design? Can't figure it out. My new-to-me Vantage Roadster 6sp manual is arriving on 12-14 Feb from FLA!! SO excited!

from 2018 when at the AM dealer - it was a Certified Pre-Owned!

 

Heated seats switch.

 

Thank you HO!!

 

Very beautiful!

 

Congrats sweet…enjoy….

 

Or if someone is trying to get through the post on a slow internet connection, they just might die of old age before getting to the replies!

The car IS a real looker, but you don't need to explain the details of a V8V or SportShift 2 to this audience.

Drive the heck out of it and enjoy!
