Well I get it Muddy, I love cars with soul. My M3 had soul, I loved the fact that I looked at a gap in traffic squeezed and I was there. I have yet to find the real soul in the SC, I like it, but it’s taking a while to love. I don’t know if I will to be honest.

I think my old 2010 had more soul and the M3 definitely did. I miss them both.

I always thought the Lexus was a tad boring for you and I think I even posted it. So, get an Aston if you want one, they have soul, even if it’s a troubled one  Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2010 Alaska White RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Gone - 2017 Chawton White RRS 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

I had a brief trip in one of the development cars back when the Vantage first came out. I would buy one for the noise alone. The engine sounds fantastic at full bore - proper V8 with a howl added. Lovely. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Hi I have had 7 Aston’s to date 5 of them V8 Vantages,the only one i wouldn’t buy again is the sportshift otherwise I would definitely recommend one,I have never had any major issues with mine,and to be honest wouldn’t worry about running one without a warranty. 2014 RRS AB 5.0

Cheers everyone for the comments so far - Yes - they do sound incredible

When I was at Gaydon for the launch of the Supercharged RRS1 we were served a fantastic lunch in a marquee on the test track and there were a few AMs flying round the track - it was bliss

The head and heart are battling - I can get an F Type for similar money, 7 years newer with a 2 year warranty and lower running costs but if I do I'll probably still wish I got the Vantage  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

No need to say who this is for

So how's the Bond Bug doing? is it 00 something, or still Milko ? In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Still milko at moment

Been busy with other things but swmbo has given her seal of approval to either Jag or AM - she just wants me to finish works to the house first and get better

We've just had the barn/garage reroofed and the cost doubled from £25k to £53k as we uncovered issues so she makes a good point

We've still got heating, wiring, damp, windows and redecorating to sort in the old part - that's the problem with buying 350 year old farmhouses  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
