My Zed will be going to a new home

Post by matthurley » Sun Sep 24, 2017 7:12 am

After 4 years and 3 months of ownership my 30i will be going to a new home next weekend.

I'm taking the plunge and buying an Aston. A 2008 V8 Vantage Roadster (n400 ltd edition).
I don't plan on using it as a daily so I've just bought an old Yaris.
I'll post some pics of the Aston when I get her.
I've enjoyed being a forum member, received some useful advice over the years and met some nice people.

:thumbsup:

We need pics. The Vantage is a beautiful car.

That is a fair jump in car price too. I never had the confidence to buy one as the running costs worried me.

Congrats.

In that case, we'd better have some more photographs of the Yaris to tide us over :D

It's an amazing car but I would swap the Halfords style rear lights for the pre-facelift red ones. One day I'll have a manual V12 Vantage S....
