Daz, nice car but think carefully and have a good long test drive. A mate of mine had a V8 Vantage and the novelty wore off very quickly. He found it dynamically flawed and although he was much more critical of the car than I was, I could see his point after several drives myself.
Fabulous to look at but I think you'll be out of it before very long.
Don't care if it's .3 or 10mph faster or slower that's not the point :hahaha:
I've had a heap of fun in it, it's too harsh for the day to day duties I do in it, only because I've one too much and the clubsport KWs with race struts etc are superb for track ...but I'd rather be in my race car in a race than do track days now, true what people say once you've started racing and been in a full on series on slicks .. Any road car seems a tad ordinary ..
Hence the thought process of something fast / comfortable and useable .. And the Vant is a little bit diff not too many about ... Just an idea I'm bouncing around anyway..
One of that age would be a 4.3 wouldn't it ? They're certainly no faster than a CSL, if that has any bearing on your decision - which means these days a 335i probably gets pretty close on performance.
Dazza is approaching his 40's - speed becomes less important :hahaha:

No, no, no a 'comfort spec' GT3.... at least go for the sporty one with bucket seats and roll cage trackmeister or not. If I was you I would buy the Aston as a second car that way until you are fully into the "I am a retired 'loadsamoney' who plays a lot of golf" you can always switch back. After all where are you going to find another one as nice as yours?

Not for me. If I was going GT3 it would be full on, stripped spec.:drool:
