Just in case you Lotus boys ever feel like upgrading...

Just had the Aston serviced at Aston Edinburgh
Car collected from Aberdeen on truck FOC.
All work carried out and discussed before authorisation.
Great service from MMC (John and Kenny).

Yes, aren't Astons just Mondeos of some sort - or was that Jags - or both? ;-)

At £1k for a service I would expect good service :roll:

Just pulling your leg Gareth but Aston servicing costs put me off buying a V8, still remember the good old days of dropping the S1 in and seeing all the Aston service bills, never saw anything less than £1k.

How have you found the Vantage Gareth?

Andy,

It's been great. 2 weeks from a year ownership.
Only fault was a wheel bearing sensor which was fixed under warranty.

17mpg around town.
20-22mpg on my b-road commute...less if you're obviously booting it.
22mpg on motorway at 80mph

It's not lightening quick but you can certainly get yourself into jail time speeds pretty rapidly.
Sounds and looks great. I can only imagine how good a V12 must be!
As a GT cruiser it's fantastic.

There's guys that do but I wouldn't want to.
Would need a big track.
