Well done, Mr Bin! When is / was collection day and how excited are you?
Perhaps it’s high time that Sports Maserati had an area at some Aston meet. Or vice versa.

Collected it last Tuesday!
How are you enjoying her ?
It’s such a stark difference to the QPV in the way it drives; so much lower and the ride naturally harsher, it feels like I feel everything happening on the road beneath me which can be feintly terrifying and exciting at the same time. Great fun to have a manual again. Feels very analogue, if that makes sense and the power delivery is brutal. It’s a beast and I feel like I have an awful lot to learn! A racing driver mate is going to take me out in it and show me how to really drive it!

The handling is a bit rubbish compared to something like a Porsche, but by God it’s fun. You can feel the car pivot underneath you, and you know it wants to play. It’s like a badly trained whippet the way it wants to dart round, but unlike a whippet it’ll happily break traction. I’m a long way off being a good driver, but have had one day with an instructor (Car Limits, North Weald) and will be going back for more. I’ve a lot to learn and am sure your time with a capable mate will be an eye opener (in many ways!).
It's a car that you just don't get in a drive fast from the off. You learn how to drive it well which is all part of the amazing experience of owning one of these amazing motorcars. Sounds amazing. I got to drive one briefly when the V12 first came out and have been smitten ever since. Enjoy.
