Did that back in the 80’s. Essex boy an all that.You're going to need to start wearing a Pringle jumper round your neck
There's a chap on Bimmerpost (the F3x UK off topic bit) who has just bought a Vantage. He seems to quite like it.
I have now fallen for a 2011 ish DBS convertible after seeing a couple at a show at the weekend. I might need to save up!
The only thing that puts me off with Astons are the lack of local servicing and the parts prices. Which, I suppose, is why DB9s, DB7s and Vantages are relatively cheap to buy.
My next door neighbour has an early DB9. It's not the best but it sounds awesome with that 6 litre V12.

I would love a V8 Vantage S with the 4.7l engine (although I what I really want is a manual V12 Vantage S from the same era). I've been watching prices, but I've been instructed that we're running a "one in / one out" policy on cars and I'm still enjoying my Lotus.
Regarding the DB9, post about 2014MY they were reengineered and were much better cars. It's a shame they aren't quite as pretty as the Vantage since four (ish) seats would make the man maths necessary for purchase somewhat easier!

As with any aging performance/luxury car just be sure you can afford to maintain and fix. If so then no reason not to pull the pin!
You can buy one for me if you like!I decided earlier in the year it was time for early retirement but then my employer offered up voluntary redundancy. I’ve been there nineteen years so I’m just thinking what to blow some cash on.
How about a nice replica Ferrari? You can spend your retirement attending shows and being the most popular bloke there.I decided earlier in the year it was time for early retirement but then my employer offered up voluntary redundancy.

Mine maybe for sale due to 'forced early retirement' and I won't get feck all from anyone. So I could do with the cash.
Your car looks lovely and you did a fantastic job on it but I don’t think it’s me. It wouldn’t get used.

Great idea..go for it!I decided earlier in the year it was time for early retirement but then my employer offered up voluntary redundancy. I’ve been there nineteen years so I’m just thinking what to blow some cash on.
That's the whole point. It's a 'pose and shows' car. And a lot cheaper to keep than an Aston.
That works on the one in one out principle as well, except you are out then in that caseYou can buy one for me if you like!
Having money burning a hole in one’s pocket can be a bit dangerous though!
