I went there and came back pretty quickly, have not looked back.

I went with a Skyfall silver V8 Vantage in the end. It's no 70 of 100 Centenary Edition, which basically just had a few cosmetic touches.

Obsidian blaCk interior, with soft touch leather previously only available on the One-77

really happy so far

You went from Porsche to Aston back to Porsche ?

i can see why someone would miss a Porsche, performance is truly amazing. If I ever move to an area where I am able to "run" my cars, I'd definitely consider a Porsche again

Yes I did, the Aston was a great GT to drive. Tracked it a bit, loved the sound.. I kept it for about two years but really missed the involvement of the 911. Just a matter of personal preference and style... Traded it for a 997.2 GT3 which I kept for four years before picking up the 997 TTS

The Aston was a panty dropper though...

That reason alone is good than enough for me hha....

True all a matter of personal preference. If only I could afford/justify having both in my garage

I'd be pretty pissed if I bought a car like that Aston only to find they put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car. Hope you got a tremendous discount!

Anyways, jokes aside your Aston car is gorgeous. Great choice.

Haha thank you, but just as an aside, I might be changing again. The aston whilst gorgeous isn't that sharp, plus a new model is due out soon, so if all goes well might be getting into a V12 Ferrari (599), but it's not confirmed yet!

There are hardly an 911's where I live. I might see one a year. So from my point of view the 911 is much more beautiful than the Aston. I know that sounds ludicrous, but I think the design of the 911 is taken for granted because they're so common in most parts of the world. I actually think it's the most beautiful cabriolet money can buy, especially from the back. Just my opinion
