The car hasn’t been started in over a month due to the weather in WA. It’s my birthday so I decided to treat myself by starting her up for a while. I know, how sad am I. Man I miss driving her.

 

Happy Birthday! love your Vantage color! Ps I live in Terrace BC will take till April for me to bring out the DB9!

 

I had a significant birthday in May of 2015. Found a new Volcano red Vantage at the Washington, DC dealership and bought it within 15 minutes. Great birthday gift.
Btw what color red is your beautiful car?

 

Larryg, she is Toro red metallic. A special color option from the earlier cars. It’s funny as I wanted a green Aston, but when I saw this car it was true love.

 

you are not alone in your sadness, been like 6 weeks since I've heard that beautiful engine sound

 

It's hard to see it sitting there in the garage for the winter. It's been a pretty mild winter though. I bought a cheap Miata to get me through the winter with a fun car.

 

we had winter last week here in Florida...70 degrees today...

 

It's been very mild. I don't take her out in the rain much, not because of what the water will do, rather the fact that people in WA can't drive in the rain.

 

Have only driven my car once since December and that was last Sunday.

 

Yeah, I'm kind of disappointed that it's only 68 Deg here Pasadena CA

 

Hi Dale,
Toro red is a great color. Is it metallic? Darker than Volcano? At least you don't have the salt, sand and snow that we experience in CT.
I only use my Vantage in perfect weather from late April through early November.

 

Larryg, I’m pretty sure it is metallic. I don’t know what it’s like compared with volcano.

Yes, we are lucky that they don’t use salt on the roads around here......still, she’s only a fair weather gal.

 

Over by the mountains we have deicer and sand when the weather gets close to freezing. My babies stay tucked away until spring.

 

That's absolutely the right choice. Nice collection. Looking forward to meeting you at one of the WA events.

 

Did you do the oil pump priming procedure before starting?
