    Now that is a nice car.
    Must be great to be able to say "Shall we take the Aston?"

    Congrats David
    Welcome to the club!
    Yours is virtually identical to my first... 07 v8v in Tungsten with obsidian and silver stitch..... Bought it at 12 months old and loved every minute of daily use for 3 years.
    Such a beautiful design... Uncluttered and timeless.
    But its a slippery slope you have set out on 8-)

    Then I got this

    Then this

    Congrats again, have you played the Bond theme yet whilst driving?

    Funny, before opening this thread, I was going to proudly post my BMW 750iL, but it seems I still have you beat as the "Biggest"....

    Congratulations David!!!

    I would love to see that post! I'm working on getting a BMW as my first Bond car. Would love to see someone else's experience with a BMW as a Bond car. I'm looking at the 435i Gran Coupe myself.

    All the best,

    Acquiring the prettiest 7 Series is no small task.
    I'd also love to see it.

    Such a beautiful car, hopefully someday I'll get a ride in it :))

    Had a big weekend myself after falling for this. It had a brief cameo in Spectre, along with the CEO, but that was nothing to do with my buying motivation. Straight through pipes are mega. X-(

    Thank you. Im very happy. My dream garage is almost done, if I had garage. :#

    It was in Q's lab/workshop. With Norton CEO Stuart Garner in the background with an oily rag. Probably a 1/2 sec flash, and all day to shoot. :))

    Hows the delivery lorry doing David???
    You have probably used it before, but the info on Pistonheads is pretty great, head to other marques and then Aston Martin section. Any minor issues you encounter (and you will) the answers can be found on there... Welcome to message me tho too, Ive a lot of Aston experience....

    There is some very nice kit on the thread. :x -{

    Number plate speculation David? I saw an AM Vanquish convertible with SPECTRE in Houston at the weekend. My bike will have NORTN. My car is obvious. What you going for?

    Noooo! Don't go personal number plate on an Aston, it's so vulgar.

    I did see a car once who’s license plate was LTK-007. I’m *pretty* sure that picked him up a speeding ticket for four :)) :007)
  • Bond44Bond44 Vauxhall CrossPosts: 1,581MI6 Agent
    I saw two personal number plates I really liked recently

    M16SPY
    007SPY (on white Lotus Espirt of all cars)

    Both I thought rather tongue in cheek :D

    Cheers :007)

    Those sorts of plates are OK. As are personal plates on regular cars. But putting your name on a supercar is just crass. It just makes a cool car, a tools car.
