Dean, what are you doing...

You've missed out on one of the greatest sounds of your automotive owning life!

My V8 Aston was louder and at times more meaty sounding than my V10 Lambo. It was just brilliant

Put some 200cell cats on it, enjoy, then remove and sell - at the very least.

A taste of what you were missing (microphone was on boot lid)

Little lift off pop at 5 secs, before great sound and overrun burbles... oh, I just had a moment.

That is lovely, Ross. I'd take a 12 for howl and an 8 for pops and burbles.

Big enough to fit a VW Golf renter into it.

Not long. I'd started seeing the Aston before I told the GTS that we needed to split up. I pimped her out to Dicky Grace, a marriage agency well-known for arranging unions between migrant Italians and local people who fancy a flash of exotica to waft around with. Dicky smartened her up a bit, and it wasn't long before she moved in with her new lover.

I still miss her, and so does my wife.

LOL so a quick sordid affair with a teutonic German after the passionate Italian to return back to the sweet English Rose

So, I have a Maserati 4200 Manual and an Audi TT Quattro Sport limited edition and a Bentley Mulsanne (old style) soon to be up for sale but would consider your Aston in exchange cash either way. Let me know if you have a remote interest? Need to thin the herd.

Well technically I'm trying to thin out by two as well but always happy to keep open minded to any potential deals. My brother is in the trade so can help me possibly with some vehicle shifting if it all works. Fire me over a PM with details of what you have and an idea of what you are thinking and I will see if it can work. ;)

I know I know. I do agree as I can't fault the Vantage. I just really need to focus on work/business for a bit, the new garages x 3 project and the big one which is the potential house build. With all that going on some of these cars won't get a look it and it seems silly to have it sitting in a garage when someone else can enjoy it. I'll still be keeping the 4200, Chimaera, 2 x Pug GTi's, XJL SS and the Outlander/Discovery Sport so still have a few options!

The Alfa GT 3.2 V6 Busso sweetness is going to need to go next as well!

Dean

I have the perfect solution for you… You have expressed a desire to own / drive an R53 Mini Cooper S... yes?

Rather than sell your Aston, and lose lots of money, I think you and I should do a swap for 3 months!?

Can’t believe I haven’t thought of this earlier…

I hope to hear from you soon!

Just offering an alternative bid, not necessarily better. :lol:
we all want to drive a twin, triple, four, five, six, eight, ten and twelve so here's an offer to tick a box.

Love it, although to be fair... maybe Dean is itching to drive a three cylinder Suzuki Zwift!

Here’s my Cooper S with a Limited Slip Differential, a decat race exhaust and a supercharged 1.6 engine... I see your Japanese 3 stroke and I raise you

Ah, why didn't you suggest this before. I've had 3 enquiries and discussions from SM forum members now and a deal being worked through. Also just had a message from a forum member on the MBClubUK forum as well now that I'm just going to reply to. Like buses.....they all come at once. I haven't actually got it to list it with Collecting Cars yet or an ad or anything.

If they all fall through though you will be the first to know and I would of course be happy to take up your offer ;)
