Very, very nice... I finally had the opportunity two weeks ago to drive an 08 Vantage at the Aston dealer in Vegas. My wife and I are interested in weekend "touring" car and have begun the search.
I really enjoyed that car! I can see why it is part of your collection... Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear got my wife excited about it, and we were both thrilled to drive it. We then drove a Bentley Continental GT and were extrememly underwhelmed...
Enjoy those fine rides! I'd be giddy as well!

I'll help you spend more money:
If you're really a Baller, then you need to also get the 3 "classic versions" of each car.
Then post a picture of them all together.

I agree. It's good to have goals. Just give me a year or two to get my Gallardo and Carrera GT first!

Mentioned before I was in Internet marketing. That's about as specific as I want to be on a public forum. If anyone is curious, happy to reply via PM but can promise you it's not really that exciting.

If you enjoy your 'cars' it really doesn't matter what you do, or did to get them. Just to be able to enjoy driving all of them has got to be a rush.How long have you owned your Healey 3000?

LiveFrom NY,
I just bought my cab from the mercedes dealer there in Greenwich. The day I went to pick it up, I had to wait around for a couple of hours for the guy who was registering my car for me to come back from the NY DMV ( was earilier than my appontment time). Anyway, while I was hanging around, I got talking to the general manager. We were talking about alot of the dealers around there. He was telling me that the Lamborghini dealer was hurting. He said they had only sold one car for the month of april. Might be a good time to low ball them.
By the way, mu good friend has a 07 f430 spider. Got it last summer after being on a waiting list for 2 years, then the car was delivered about 8 months later than it was supposed to be. The car is insane. It is like a bike on 4 wheels. Congrats

Picked up the Healey in 2000. It's a Mark I car that is fully restored to original specs. So much fun to drive and a great investment...

Yeah, I stopped by the Lambo dealer after buying the Ferarri just to make sure I was making the right choice. They seemed eager to sell me a car which, in Greenwich, is rare.
Tempting but I gotta slow down and catch my breath!

Wow, I've always been an AM=British Racing Green, Ferrari=Red type of traditionalist, but seeing those two color schemes just changed that! Those cars in "non-traditional" paint look absolutely stunning!!! Congrats on the acquisition.

The 2007 Aston I just traded in was silver because, in my mind, that was the classic AM color (Bond... James Bond). And I always swore my first Ferrari would be red/tan. But there's something to be said about unique colors.
I took a ride in the new Aston today and was cracking up. People always looked at my last car, but it kind of snuck up on them (oh my, that's an Aston Martin). With the new car in orange I thought people's heads were going to snap off their necks!
